Boy meets girl.

I was surprised when I received a late birthday present from my good friends,
Shammy and Yhenny. I actually hate surprises but this does not stop them from doing so… The gift was wrapped well that it made me eager to open it. To my astonishment, I got this book, “Boy meets girl, say hello to courtship”, written by Joshua Harris. Joshua Harris became famous in his first ever written book, “I kissed dating goodbye”.

Analyzing the title of this book, made me realize something... Am I starting to hate men? Not at all! Why would I do that? In fact, I love the company of my boy friends. Then what are they thinking? You want me to consider dating? You know that I’m dating; I am just not ready yet for a commitment.

Do I still dwell from my past relationship? I don’t know… But he wanted me to wait for him… I guess this is the reason why I can’t see myself with someone else and what happened with us feared me of going through another serious relationship. (Sigh)

But I do appreciate it guys! And it seems that you are right... I really should not dwell on my past… hehehehe Alright, I’ll give it a try then... Maybe reading the lines on each page will make me rethink of romance again. Surely, you’ll be a part of my next romance story. (lol)

THE RIGHT PERSON

How will someone know if he already found the right person?

Before a relationship ends to a perfect marriage, lots of hardships will be experienced first. These are trials that you and your partner should overcome because a relationship is a cycle. At first, there should be love. A woman that is in love always hope for her beau to call, desires for his touch, and like every idiosyncrasies of the man. All these only mean that falling in love with a man wasn’t that hard, it comes natural and spontaneous. It’s called “falling” in love ‘coz it is happening...

Falling in love is really easy. It can be a passive or impulsive experience. But of course, the ecstasy of love will soon fade while being with this same person you have fallen in love with, be it in a marriage or a long-and-serious relationship. This is natural. Slowly, the phone calls become a bother; the touch is no longer passionate; and the idiosyncrasies of the person you once fell in love with, will drive you nuts. These signs vary in every stage of a relationship. But if the partners consider what they have shared for years, then there is greater difference from the first stage of the relationship and during the dull moments in the subsequent stage. So here comes the famous question, “Did I choose the right person?”

As both of you reflect on the condition of the love you once had, you may find yourself yearning for such experience with someone else. When the relationship fails, people tend to blame their partner for their misery and just look to the other side of the relationship only for fulfillment. Infidelity becomes so obvious. But there are also some who prefer being involved with other forms of abusive substances like work, hobbies, friendship, and a lot more. The answer to this dilemma actually does not lie outside the relationship, for it lies within it.

I can’t say that you should not fall for someone else though. Indeed, you can still fall in love with someone. But because this can only make you feel better temporarily, expect that you will also be in the same situation a few years later because THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN A RELATIONSHIP IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT IS LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND. Sustaining the love is not an inert or spontaneous experience. It will never happen to anyone. Each of us cannot find a LASTING love since every one needs to make it every minute of the day. And that is where the “Labor of Love” begins. It takes time, energy, effort, and WISDOM to make the love lasts. Each is responsible for discerning WHAT TO DO to make the relationship work. You must not do something that will ruin the love, for LOVE IS NOT A MYSTERY. Lots of things can be done with or without your partner just to make this relationship succeed. Same as the physical laws of the universe, a relationship also provides a certain law that will make it stronger. And once this law is applied, its direct cause and effect becomes predictable, from which a LOVE that is built will lasts a life time. So choosing the person you want to spend the rest of your life is your “decision”… not just a feeling. And you must make this decision always right.

Happy birthday my love…

A surprise birthday gift, a formal dinner with you and your family, and an early wake up call just to greet and sing you the Happy Birthday song, every one is familiar of…how I wish I’ve accomplished all that. Yes, I long for this event. And this is supposed to be a happy day for us. But it just can’t…

Good Habit

Because antioxidants are in the hottest news in being beautiful and coffee having the highest antioxidant content, I am actually starting to love it!

I never thought that coffee would provide me great benefits, maybe because of the caffeine substance it has. And because I often have trouble in sleeping, I never considered it good for me until I heard of antioxidants. Thanks to the nerd who discovered the compact of antioxidants. Today, antioxidants are used in a number of beauty products and regimens. Antioxidants are nature’s way of fighting free radicals. Human body naturally produces free radicals. These free radicals are the result of oxidation and are the ones that bring trouble to our health by messing up the good cells. When oxidation occurs, free radicals result to the abnormal growth and reproduction of cell tissues. Signs of aging will become more visible and because the immune system becomes weak, the formation of abnormal cells will lead to cancer. So to slow down these damaging chain reactions caused by free radicals, good amount of antioxidants that will neutralize the free radicals are needed.

The good thing is, coffee abounds antioxidants. And with a cup of coffee a day, I can be certain that free radicals present in my body are shattered. I just can’t imagine how great these antioxidants could do for my body and since there is no way being beautiful than starting it within, I make coffee my constant stream of antioxidants.

How to stay young

1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times!

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches)

3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain gets idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name can be Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things. The breeze on your cheek, a second cup of coffee outside, listening to the birds sing, every sunset you can see...

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, or anything. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.
