Life Lessons Learned (11)

Note to self

Time to slowly let go of everything. Never you stand a chance. So stop expecting that he'll come back. It's obvious that you're not worth his effort and time.

It hurts seeing you happy without me, but to know that you're finally happy, that's more than enough.

I’m back, tumblr! I’m sorry I have not posted in a while! Just wanted to put up a little update and just wanted to post a quick explanation as to why I’ve been MIA: Life just gets really busy and stressful sometimes. I needed a little break and I have lots of things to take care of in my personal life and I have been trying to bring it back to balance. I apologize. Anyway, I miss you guys soooo much! I miss tumblr so much most especially being able to get things off my chest through blogging. It feels like haven’t been on tumblr in forever. I’ve missed this place! I’ll be back here again though, but it might take a little while to get things going again. I can’t promise to be on everyday, but I’ll try and be here at least twice or thrice a week. 

On a different note, just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve changed my theme. It’s been a year since my last theme update, and I felt like a change was needed, so I spent most of days working on this new theme. Come visit and let your suggestion. If anyone could take a look and point out all the hideous flaws that would be great. I would really appreciate your feedback. I truly hope you like the new feel as much as I do.

Anyway, if you’re reading this, thanks for sticking by me and for putting up with my disappearance and being patient. I love you!

Reminding you of these things

You are beautiful. Yes, you are and you don’t need somebody to tell you you’re beautiful. You are beautiful in your own simple ways. You don’t have to wear those fashionable and trendy clothes to show them that you’re beautiful, you don’t have to dress like a celebrity. You don’t have to be the best or the greatest to be appreciated. Sometimes your simplicity is more than enough to speak for yourself.

You are loved. Whether you believe it or not, there is always someone out there who loves you, know that you are loved. You are loved more than you could ever comprehend. You all have someone that loves you and cares about you, even people you haven’t even met yet.

You are good enough. Never think of yourself as nothing. No matter what anyone says. No matter what you tell yourself. You are good enough. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done or what people have done to you. Don’t ever allow someone to make you feel like you’re not good enough. Stop doubting yourself.

You are worthy. You are worthy of love and happiness. Every person was designed and put on this earth with a purpose, no matter how big or small that purpose may be. Everyone is worthy of something and even though some of you may not believe it. It’s true. You are worthy.

You are not alone. Know that there is someone who’ll be there for you. You never have to go through anything alone. It’s ok to ask for help.You don’t have to face this alone. Remember no matter what, there are people out there that care for you. No matter how alone you feel, you are not alone.

You are appreciated. You are a blessing that radiates beauty and bliss in everyone’s lives.

You are special. You don’t need to be a four-leaf clover to be special, everybody is unique in their own way.

You are strong. You are so much stronger than you think you are.

Hi baby, happy birthday! I just wanted to tell you how happy I am that you were born, so blessed that God created you and made your way into my life and that I found you. There are no words to express the feeling I felt when you came into my life, how you make every day so special. You are the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me.

Thank you for giving me so much more than I ever could have wanted. You make me feel needed, wanted and cared about. Thank you for staying though I know it’s hard being with me, thank you for putting up with my flaws. I promise to make every single day worth it with me. Loving you is everything to me. You mean everything to me more than words could ever come relatively close to describing.

You truly deserve the best in life and I hope that I’m giving you everything you’ve ever wanted. I love you baby so much. You will always have me by your side, and I will always be eager to hold your hand through it all.

Happy birthday, love. How I wish we could celebrate together. I really want to be with you on your special day.

To the world you may be some regular father but to me you are the world’s best father. You may be strict at times but I know you just want to protect us and make sure that we’re on a right path. I could tell everyone what an amazing person you are, but unfortunately I couldn’t find the right words, I just thought they aren’t enough to express what I think about you or what you really are. Thank you for being there for us and for constantly reminding us what we’re capable of. You showed us the stars and taught us how to reach them. God truly blessed us to have a dad like you. So, Happy Father’s Day to the first man we ever loved. We love you Dad, and we are always be proud to be your daughters.

So we went to Aguinid falls in Brgy. Tangbo, which is the most accessible waterfalls in Samboan. Upon arriving at Aguinid, we were very excited to go near as the waterfalls was very inviting. Aguinid falls consist of 4 levels of unique waterfalls. The four levels can be reached by climbing the limestone walls of each waterfalls or climbing up the side of the mountain with roots and plants to heave yourself up. It was quite a long way up but the view from the top was simply breath-taking!

Well, hello there.

Hello lovely readers! How are you all doing? It’s been quite awhile since the last time that I blogged. It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s a little thing called life. And there’s nothing much interesting going on with my life right now. It appears that I’ve acquired a number of new followers during my absence - which is surprising. But regardless, thank you for following. Feel free to talk to me any time. I am on tumblr all day, every day. Anyway, who’s in for a book giveaway? Thinking about hosting one next month! I hope you guys could help me what books to giveaway. So, I hope everyone’s having a good time. Just keep the love coming.

Little things you need to do for your relationship to work

Relationship is not just about what you have. It’s about what you do to make it work. All relationships go through phases, where there will be good and bad times. The best relationships are not just about the good times you share, they’re also about the obstacles you go through together. Great relationships don’t happen by luck. Loving someone isn’t just about saying it every day, it’s showing it every day in every way and by what you do to make it work. Remember, it takes two people to make a relationship work. You both have to actively participate in the relationship and keep it positive to make it the healthiest, happiest, strongest and best that it can be.

So then, how do we make relationships work?

Commitment. You both need to have a desire to be together and commit to each other.

Respect. You need to respect each other’s decisions, and feelings. If you don’t respect each other the relationship will never work.

Communicate to your partner. Let your partner know what you are thinking. Don’t wait for your partner to try to guess what is going on with you. Good communication solves that problem.

Trust your partner. If you don’t, you shouldn’t be in the relationship. You have to trust each other for your relationship to work.

Never cheat. Cheating has ruined many relationships.

Keep the spark alive. Keep the chemistry alive to avoid being bored in each other’s company. Do an activity that you both enjoy.  

Compliment each other. Sincerely and often.

Spend time together. Make your relationship a priority and make time for each other.

Give space. Allow each other just enough room to breathe, but not enough room to leave. Give yourselves the opportunity to miss one another. Give your partner the space they need, when they need it.

Be honest with each other. Being honest about your feelings will help you work through the problem. If there’s something you don’t like about them, tell them how you feel.

Don’t keep secrets from your partner. Being in a relationship means that you’re a team! Include them in what you did and where you went as much as possible. Keep secrets with your partner, not from your partner.

Tell your loved one how much he means to you. You should tell your loved one that you love him every single day. Tell your partner how lucky you feel to have them in your life. Make them feel special. 

Learn to say you’re sorry. Learn to apologize if you’ve done something wrong. If you want to be in a long-lasting relationship, then you absolutely have to learn how to say sorry.

Support and encourage each other.  You must support each other no matter what. Never ever leave your partner unsupported.

Talk about your future together.  This shows that you are both in the relationship for the long term.

Forgive each other as soon as possible. Don’t wait a day, a week or a month.
