Life is too short, sin a little

This is the tagline of Pecados commercial. I really don't know what it is. I think, if not a bar, it's an alcoholic drink. That's the implication of the said commercial. Anyway, when I first heard this tagline, it made me smile. It felt like I was told to enjoy a bit, 'coz life is too short. Yeah, i know. That's what I'm trying to do now, enjoying a bit of harmless freedom, in other words, loosening a bit from my old conservative ways. Shockingly, I am enjoying it. I know that this is something I should have done before I got married. But it's never too late yet. I am having the time of my life now, but making sure that this won't take it's toll on my family. I am not the wild type anyway, still got my composure and pride intact, as always. Just a little bit of freedom... a little bit of selfishness too... but, still so much aware of my limitations.

How Lucky I Am

Today, I realize how lucky I am to have these people who TRULY care and love me. I want to thank them in my own little way.

To my parents, sisters and brother, for the undying support and love and for being my strength during those hardest times.
To my relatives, for giving me sound advices, and for backing me up financially.
To my hubby and baby, for the unconditionally love and understanding, and for not giving up on me.
To my 2 bestfriends, for the complete acceptance, for listening to my countless insanities, and for being my shoulders to cry on.
Lastly, to my Savior, for the forgiveness and guidance, for all the blessings, and for giving me all these people who genuinely love me.

Invest in People who truly Love you

Sadly, I realized this the hard way. I was constantly seeking for love outside my world, without realizing that I was hurting the people who truly love me. They are always there, patiently waiting for my sanity to return. They never left me on my own, still guiding me in solving my chaotic self and thoughts.

Now, It hit me like a rock. Thanks God! I am not yet too late. I'm glad that I haven't done something irreversible. I'm back on my feet again, and this time, I'll cherish every moment that I'll have with them. I will love them as they have love me...unconditionally.

For You, My Friend

My friend, I'm really sorry for all the pain i caused you. I don't intend to hurt you this way. But i want to be true to you and to myself. I really just can't see you in the romantic way. I can't force myself to treat you more than a friend. It's not like me. Of all people, you should know that. You know me better than anyone else. I hope you can understand why i need to do this...for you and for everyone we love. I don't want to hurt them, most especially your family. I treated them as my own. Also, I think it will be better if one of us should move and let go of this beautiful friendship. And since you can't do it, i think it's my call. But before I go, I want to thank you for everything. Thank you for being there for me through thick and thin. Thank you also for lending me your shoulders to cry on. I know that my 'thank you' is not enough. With our 12 years of friendship, we had shared many moments together. I want you to know that I will always cherish them and keep them in my heart.

Don't worry, this is all but temporary. Soon, our friendship will be back to normal again. Just need to put some spaces on it for us to be able to breathe. In time, when you have moved on, i'll be at your doorstep again, hugging you as if nothing happened.

Does passion end when commitment begins?

Got this question from the movie trailer 'When love begins' starred by Aga Muhlach and Anne Curtis. It made me ask myself the same question. Does passion really end when commitment begins? After tons of evaluation, yes, i think it's true. I've been married for almost 8 years now. After the honeymoon stage ends, disillusionment begins. This is the time when you discover all the not-so-good things about your partner. This is also the time when responsibilities come in. Issues like money usually start at this stage too. With all of these things happening at the same time, passion could really be affected. Both need to work hard to stay in love. In this time, your friendship with your partner will be put to test. This so-called friendship will hold you both together. That's why we all said that there has to be friendship in every love relationship. It will served as a foundation to a solid relationship with your partner. Sometimes, after years in marriage, love will not be enough. This will then be your weapon on this hard times. Without friendship, love might not survive. The components of this friendship, trust and respect for each other, will strengthen the bond. So don't fret. Passion might be diminished, but a deeper connection through friendship will grow, and that's the most stable relationship in the world.

10 Habits of a Loving Couple

by Alanna Webb


Romance is a way to express your love, the icing on the cake... but don't wait for special occasions to express your love. Make sure that you nurture your loving relationship by practicing these basic habits in your day-to-day life. These may seem very basic, but how many do you do? Don't despair... it's never too late to adopt good, loving habits.

1. Say 'I Love You' at least once a day. Your partner does need to hear the words.

2. Kiss good-bye and hello. Throw in a hug while you're at it.

3. 'Date' your partner for the rest of your lives. Treat your partner even better than when you were dating... Remember that you are sweethearts ~ * open her door * straighten his tie * hold out her chair * hold hands when you're walking together

4. Don't sweat the small stuff. You can let his/her bad habits bother you to distraction... or you can accept them, and work around them. Does she leave the cap off the toothpaste? Buy separate tubes... Does he leave clothes laying around? Ignore them, or pick them up, remembering just how much he does for you in other ways. Or, make it easier for your partner to satisfy you... buy several clothes hampers and keep them handy. ;-)

5. Concentrate on the positive. Instead of thinking about the ways that s/he lets you down, think of all the positive things about your partner that drew you to them in the first place.

6. Take a breather when you're mad. Don't try to talk when either of you are angry. Take a few minutes to walk around the block, lay down, just get away from each other so you can regroup. A short break will allow you both to stay on track and discuss what's bothering you instead of accidently making personal insults that you will regret later.

7. Don't use your partner's secrets or weaknesses against them... ever! What may seem insignificant, trivial, or cute to you may be serious to your partner. Recognize what is important to your partner, and don't discuss it with your friends, mother, his family, anyone! And certainly don't throw the words back at them in an argument. A loving relationship is one of the most intimate and trusting that anyone can have.

8. Think about your partner first. If both of you do this, then you can't help but win! Say 'yes' to your partner as often as possible... go to that sports event with him, get him out on that golf course because he loves golf, make life easier for your partner, and hopefully they will do the same for you!

9. R-E-S-P-E-C-T your partner. Don't badmouth your partner to anyone! When you talk about your partner, let your respect and love shine through.

10. Find a way to regroup together every day. Discover what works well for you both... eat a meal together, meet for happy hour drinks, skip Leno at night and just lay in bed in the dark, take a walk around the block, etc. You can even mix things up and vary your routine. If one of you is traveling, call home at night just to hear their voice. The point is to spend time together daily, just talking or breathing the same air, feeling connected.

Remember... the more you put into your relationship, the more you gain! Make love and romance a part of your daily life!
