       I was awoken by a phone call at five in the morning. It was my husband greeting me a Happy Anniversary!. I disagreed because we were married on the month of December not September. He reminded me that the date was the day I said yes to his proposal to be his girlfriend. That was nine years ago. Time flies really fast and we are married couple now. I hope there would be more happy years of being together. May God Bless us always

         Thank God I arrived safely at home after a long travel from the province. This is the disadvantage of a couple who are not staying at the same place. My husband is at the province and I am on the city. So more often than not, one of us must travel to be able to spend some time with one another. I usually travel at early Monday morning and directly goes to work. I would usually be late by one hour. Good thing my direct superior is not that strict but I have to work fast to be able to finish my work on time for that day. As much as possible I don't want to be late because every minute of late is also tantamount to a deduction to the net pay.           Well today's travel had been different. I was only late by twenty minutes. Thanks to the good driving skills of my husband's friend. It was my first time to ride in the passenger van wherein he is the driver. On my previous travel, he saw me riding in a different van that he ...

          Looking for a suitable partner is very difficult nowadays especially for career oriented women. This women had been so busy with their career that they neglected to give some time on the other aspect of their life. They had been so focused with their job that as years pass by they remained single. It was only on their late twenties or thirties that they became aware that time is running out and that they should have already found their partner in life. For Filipino women, culture dictates that man should be the one who will court first but as time pass by this courting rule has been set aside. A lot of Filipino women already do the initiative in looking for their partner especially in free dating sites . Though many single women found their partner for life through it,others remained single for the rest of their life.

     I was grateful to be able to find my partner in life. However, my co-workers, friends and other acquaintances who are the same age as mine or older than me that are still single were already in panic in looking for their partner in life. Social events, phone pals, love letters and many more had been the means for others in looking for the one but online chat had paved the way for a lot of singles to be able to meet their partner for life. One of these online sites is chatroulette . It is a website for singles looking for their match. With this site, it is possible to meet real Italian girls. Not only Italian girls but other people from other countries as well. From time to time you would be able to meet random strangers that one of them could be the partner for life that you are looking for. Life is beautiful but it is more beautiful living and sharing each moments with a partner for life. 

Gift comes in various forms. May it be small or big, soft or hard, long or wide, expensive or cheap, what matters most is the value we put into and our noble intention to let the receiver of the gift be happy. In the celebration of my mother’s Thanksgiving Party, I together with my siblings decided to gave my mother a simple gift. I come up with an idea to give her a charcoal painting of herself as a remembrance from us. Together with the painting is a thank you card with our personal messages. When I gave it to her, she first read the thank you card. She gave time to read all our personal messages written in the card. Then she carefully unwrapped our present. She smiled. I was so delighted seeing her smile. She even showed the painting to my auntie. That confirms that she liked it. It maybe a simple gift but I know somehow that it touch my mother’s heart.

Love can move mountains. Love conquers all. Love is patient and kind. These are only some of the many definitions of love but to those who were in love there are no exact words to explain the feeling. It is indefinable. My friends and I were sharing about the conflicts we experienced with the relationships we are into. One of the things discussed that stick to my mind is on the notion that a guy who wants to settle down cannot wait longer for a girl to accept his proposal. They tend to end the relationship and look for a ready and available partner. I feared this scenario. I am in a six-year relationship and my guy had already been asking me for years when should we settle down. I had given him already a lot of alibis. My first alibi is that I should finish first my studies, second had been I should pass the CPA board exam, next alibi is to be able to have a job, then when his father died and my brother married I told him the it would be “sukob” and my last alibi had been to allow me t...

I am super exhausted but enjoyed our vacation trip at Siargao. After three nights and four days of being away from our house, I returned with no "pasalubong" and a lot of dirty clothes. Despite of these, my mother understands me and offered to help me in washing my pile of dirty clothes. Of course I said no, because I don't want her to get tired. When I entered my room I found out that the dirty clothes I left before my vacation where already cleaned. Oh, my mom just can't resist washing it when she saw it. This is what they call mother’s love. That is why I can’t help in saying “I love my Mom”.

Each of us was born with unique personalities but we are categorized by our common traits. There are people who are loving,understanding,cool and soft spoken while others are mean, short minded, strict and harsh. When you get to encounter people with those latter type of traits it is so hard to maintain a good social relationship with them. You would often than not quarreled with them. As much as we want to push our ideas with these type of people it is useless because they are pickle minded and they won't accept others point of view.It feels so helpless communicating with them especially when they are almost yelling at you just to emphasize their point.So, in times like this better treat the fire with ice instead of adding fuel to it. To make the world more peaceful we should try to control our emotions and treat them in a nice way even if it is superficial rather than duet with them in yelling.It is better to settle things in a nice way rather than end up in hurting each other a...

Yesterday was a day of celebration in the city.A local holiday was declared in celebration of "Araw ng Dabaw"'. Anywhere within the city is busy. My mother and I decided to stroll around the city. We went to the busiest street, the San Pedro street.A lot of people were there because it was the venue of drum and bugle competition. Aside from the competition, it is also were a lot of things for sale were displayed in the sidewalk. We bought a house decor, slippers and fruits at a cheaper price. After strolling in the street, our next destination had been the park in the city named as the People's Park. My mother had never been there before so even if a lot of people were there we never hesitated to enter the park. There was a competition for magicians in the event area of the park. We watched it for a while and then stroll in the park.We took pictures, watch the different views, sat in the benches and then finally decided to go home.What a busy day it was in the city an...

It was Saturday and I was still in the office working. I was in a bad mood because before I left the house my brother keeps on giving me household chores and I am so tired. I am so exhausted that some unnecessary thoughts pop out of my mind. I am beginning to pity myself because I missed my planned night out, I am still in the office working when it is supposed to be a rest day and I have a brother who keeps on giving me works. I hate it to be in this way. When in times like this the only one who absorbs my anger, annoyance, and silliness is my boyfriend. I blamed him for not letting me attend my friends night out. I told him that I am so jealous with my friends because they got to enjoy a very nice place with all the nice pictures. I am letting him to know that I missed all the fun because of him. Despite of my unreasonable blames, he just said sorry. He said sorry for all the fun I missed because of him. Then, he promised that next time he will not hinder in all outings I w...

I planned to have a weekend night out with my friends.On the scheduled day, my boyfriend arrived. He told me that since I have a night out he will just go home directly to the province after the transaction with his friend finished. We only see each other twice a month.So to balance all things,I told him to stay for a night and I will accompany my friends till midnight only.He stayed but make sure to me that I will go home by midnight.With these, I could have time with him as well as with my friends. But I haven't consider the availability of transport vehicles to where am I going.I just went there to see the scenario and go home. I missed all the fun.Still,even if it is not him I am seeing to I will still make that decision because it is an agreement where I said yes.

"I am a lesbian" are the words of my friend. A shocking revelation but acceptable for me. We have been friends for years already.I never thought that she would be like this.She is sexy, slim and very feminine in every way.She even had crushes.She has pedicure, manicure, and wears short shorts, mini skirts and sexy dresses, very much feminine,more feminine than me. I told her that it might be a mistaken conclusion or a temporary feeling.I suggested that a guy might change this. She replied that she had been in a relationship with a guy before but only then that she realized that she is falling in love to a girl at the same time.I told her that being a lesbian is not that easy.Accept it or not there is still discrimination in the society.Regardless of my views, she is already convinced that she is a lesbian. Lesbian or not, she is still my friend.Nothing can wipe away our years of friendship.Whatever her choices as long as she is happy, I would be here as a friend.Good luck fri...

When you are in a relationship for a long time, you would come to a point when you ask yourself if he/she is the right man/woman destined for you. I am in this relationship for six and a half years already. Being in this relationship for that long is not that easy to achieve. We have also been tested by time may it be by our changeable emotions towards each other, opposing siblings, strict parents, or even others' curiosity trigger to end the relationship. Maybe because of our strong perseverance and commitment to continue the relationship, we made this far. With this, can I now assure myself that he is really the right man destined for me.Is it safe to say that he is the one. If long term relationship is the basis for one's security to his/her partner, why is it that some undergo a ten-year or more relationship and ended up brokenhearted. Others only take days or months and decided to go into marriage. Well no one really knows why. No calculation or formula can explain this ph...
