48 Relationship Guidelines
These are interesting things to ponder in a relationship (The ones that are in bold letters are my favorites. I even made reactions to some of it. Enjoy reading!):
1. "Ang mag-assume, TALO."
2. "Kung ayaw may DAHILAN, kung gusto may PARAAN." (ALWAYS TRUE, believe it or not)
3. "Wag masyado magpadala sa text."
4. "BACK OFF (as in back off) sa mga IN A RELATIONSHIP, kahit saan anggulo mo tingnan, ikaw pa rin ang mali."
5. "Never borrow someone else's man/girl. If he/she cheated with you, he'll/she'll cheat on you."
6. "Hayaan mo siyang gawin yung gusto niyang gawin. Buhay niya yun, hindi mo maco-control. As long as alam niya yung limitations niya."
7. "Take it slow. Steady lang."
8. "Maniwala sa IT'S COMPLICATED na status. Hindi lang chenes yan."
9. "Learn to LET GO kung alam mong wala na talaga." (Madaling sabihin, mahirap gawin diba? Haha...)
10. "Keep your DIGNITY."
11. "If a man/woman wants you, nothing can keep him/her away. If he/she doesn't want you, nothing can make him/her stay." (So true, but hard to accept...)
12. "Wag magselos sa siblings and relatives ng boyfriend/girlfirend mo."
13. "Ang QT (quality time), at least 5 hours lang per week." (Importante to sa isang relationship, maniwala kayo.)
14. "Don't revolve your life around him/her. Learn to be independent." (TAMA. Pero darating yung time na anung gawin mo, magrerevolve sa kaniya ung buhay mo.)
15. "Hindi dahilan ang TIME."
16. "Kung ayaw sayo ng kapatid, hayaan mo siya. Wala siyang magagawa kung mahal ka talaga niya."
17. "Wag magpakilala sa parents agad. It can affect your relationship." (So true, so true, it's one of my fatal mistakes.)
18. "Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Kadalasan tama ito mga girls."
19. "Be nice to your EX. Wag maging BITTER." (TAMA!)
20. "If a relationship ends because the man/woman was not treating you as you deserve, then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. At some case this is applicable." (Tinamaan aq rito. Totoo to... L)
21. "Wag magpadala sa SITUATION. Baka overwhelmed ka lang."
22. "Stop making excuses for a man/woman and his/her behavior. Paminsan-minsan take off your helmet."
23. "When you meet anyone, remember it's a holy encounter. As you treat them you will treat yourself. As you think of them, you think of yourself. Never forget this, for in them you will find yourself or lose yourself."
24. "Hindi balakid kung magkaiba ang RELIGION niyong dalawa."
25. "Kung kayang i-workout, i-WORKOUT!"
Kalokohan ang reason na "IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME." (Ngayon alam niyo na. haha...)
26. "All men are NOT dogs. You should not be the one doing all the bending... compromise is a two way street."
27. "Learn to forgive para magkaroon ka ng peace of mind."
28. "Some can forgive but can't forget." (True... L)
29. "If something bothers you, speak up! mahirap kapag nagpapakiramdaman lang kayo."
30. "OPEN COMMUNICATION, TRUST AND HONESTY are the most important ingredients in a relationship." (Tandaan niyo to!)
31. "You need time to heal between relationships. there is nothing cute about baggage. deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship pag hindi kasi, it can affect or even ruin your relationship."
32. "Ok lang na magselos, basta yung pakilig lang."
33. "Always have your own set of friends separate from his/her para may iba kang channels that is without him/her." (L)
34. "Make him/her miss you sometimes. when a man/woman always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him/her, he/she takes it for granted."
35. "Always make time for your family and friends."
36. "You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals. look for someone complimentary. not supplementary." (Di ako masyado naniniwala rito. Pero alam kong totoo to. Labo no? haha)
37. "Always make time for yourself."
38. "Wala yun sa tagal ng relationship. nasa pagmamahal." (Tama...)
39. "There's NO SUCH THING as MR. RIGHT or MS. RIGHT. It's how you mold him/her to become rightfully for you." (I AGREE! DEFINITELY!)
40. "There's NO SUCH THING as COOL OFF/GRAY AREA. Kung white, white! Kung black, black! Walang GRAY AREA."
41. "Always think a number of times before deciding on to something important." (Think more than twice, ok?)
42."There's a possibility that a person can get attracted to another. It's human nature. It's not wrong. But that is why you're in a commitment, you discipline yourself. One may get attracted to numerous prospects and its ok. As long as you don't nurse the feeling and do something about it. It's the borderline between cheating and faithfulness. Recognize reality that you already have the person that can give you more than what you get for the cheap thrill of attraction."
43. "You need to let go of the past to have a future" (Isa na namang madaling sabihin, mahirap gawin.)
44. "Do not take anyone for granted."
45. "If what you see by the eye doesn't please you, then close your eyes and see from the heart. Because the heart can see beauty and love more than the eyes can ever wonder."
46. "If you felt it, then it was true. Getting hurt doesn't always mean you suffered, it also means you loved sincerely. Don't frown because it's over. SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED." (I STRONGLY DISAGREE! YOU CAN'T SMILE DURING THESE TIMES! I can assure you, no matter what, you won't be able to smile just because it happened)
47. "KARMA (whatever you do) will find its way." (Matakot kayo.)
48. "Everything will fall into place." (This is the one thing that I truly believe. There is no such thing as "never meant to be." Everything is "meant to be." It just didn't turn out the way we wanted it to.)
