What a girl needs most is love. What a guy needs most is respect. The most important thing for a girl is her heart. For a guy its his ego.

Give your man his own time and space. Let him have his time for his friends, sports, family, self, and God. The relationship will grow old quickly if lagi kayong magkasama. Give him time to miss you and you’ll see how he will love you more. If the guy naman is obsessed and just wants to be with you all the time, tell him you can’t respect a “puppy” for long.

Do things differently anytime.Para kahit matagal na kayo, there is always something fresh and new. Variety is the spice of life. Exciting baga? Discover something you both like to do and enjoy it TWOgether. Doon naman sa mga bagay na magkaiba ang hilig nyo, compliment each other by learning about it kahit konti. If you love someone, yung effort nyo to try will go a looooong way to understand him later pag may disagreement kayo.

Pray with holding hands. Sounds corny noh? Maybe, but its very powerful.
Pag may takot sa Diyos ang partner mo, kampante ka na di ka nya lolokohin, because He knows God sees everything he does in secret. Ikaw na ang magkusa that Before you part after date, with hands held and eyes closed, pray to God to bless you two. Believe me it’s effective. Kailanman, di corny ang magdasal.

Believe in “Magic”. Kahit minsan di practical o walang logical na dahilan,
o matrabaho, o sounds crazy sa iba, do sweet little things for the one you love kahit magmukha ka ng timang. The memories will be fun to recall later in life. The corniest song o gift o letter ang laging kabog.

True love brings out the best in each other. Find something good in your
Partner and nurture it, encourage it and syempre, ENJOY it.

It’s healthy to fight. Doon nyo lang maaayos ang mga differences nyo at
natetest ang tatag ng relationship. Doon mo rin sya makikilala ng mabuti. Its called test of fire. Di mahalaga how dalas you fight. What matters is how often you make bati. Mas nakakatakot yung relasyong sobrang perfect at laging masaya. One big fight
and that’s it! And diba mas kilig yung malambing na… “uy, bati na tayo…”. But don’t overdo it. Kakapagod naman din na lagi na lang manuyo o magsori. Choose the battles na papatulan mo.

Daraan sa iba’t-ibang stages ang love especially pag matagal na kayo. Grow with it. Don’t expect him to be like nung una. ‘Coz like a student, di na ituturo sa grade 6 yung lessons na pang-grade 2. Change WILL happen… you both will change and your love WILL change too. It’s up to you na lang if the change will be for the better or for the worse. Life is about growth. Grow with it.

When break up comes and it’s time to say goodbye, don’t doubt the love just Because it didn’t last. May mga bagay sa buhay na di man nagtatagal, it doesn’t mean di na ito totoo. Some good things are just never meant to last forever. Okay lang yon.
Bless the parting and move on.

Expect tears, sorrow, sleepless nights and pain. Ika nga “it’s when you hurt the worse that you love the MOST.” Kung di ka willing masaktan, wag ka na lang magmahal.

Life is a balance. And love is both holding on and letting go. Know when to fight for your man or woman and when to let him go. God will guide you kung anong dapat gawin sa kung anong sitwasyon. So dapat mataas ang signal ng langit sa cellfone ng puso mo to know His wisdom.

Do you have them? The proofs or what they call the badge of motherhood? Im talking about stretchmarks here!

Unfortunately, I have them in abundance. Blame it on genetics, because my Mom has them and blame it on weight gain. If you knew and saw me before I got pregnant with Matthew, you will really wonder how come I ever got this big!

You need to give me credit for trying to prevent stretch marks though. I have looked and read everywhere on where to find the best and most effective stretch mark cream and while there were many claims, they didnt carry proof that their stuff worked.

It was too late that I stumbled upon the Diva’s Blog (www.divas-blog.com). She had a post that had a test run on all popular stretch mark creams with before and after shots of it. She said that the revitol stretch mark cream is the most effective, thereby most recommended. She even goes to say that the cream needs to work on repairing collagen and improving the elasticity of the skin - which is why we mommies get stretch marks in the first place. She sure knows what to look for in the product so Im really intrigued with the product she recommended.

Let’s talk do some grocery talk here. How do you budget your grocery lists? Do you shop for groceries weekly or on a monthly basis? Food eats up a huge chunk of our monthly budget and if we bring the kids along to the grocery, it can easily shoot over the designated budget for groceries! Sometimes when I get to have time, I stick to my list (if I can make one) and literally peruse every aisle to look for better deals, coupons and savings. One thing I like about grocery shopping in the US though is the abundance of grocery coupons or even coupons for better (and bigger) savings in general. When you shop online, you can google for coupons to have discounts and you can easily find them. I stick to tried and proven free coupon sites though. One of them is MySavings.com.

Free Online Coupons is of abundance in this web site.
Free Stuff is even given away weekly. You are also guaranteed that coupons or discounts are always valid and updated. They have hundreds of links to real brand name free samples, free stuff, printable coupons, deals and savings. Enjoy premier free stuff in many different product categories; with great new free samples added weekly, including health and beauty products, food, make up, cosmetics, perfume, baby products and many more free samples.

Printable Grocery Coupons is one of the great amenities you can save with. You just need to sign up with them for FREE and they will give you free access to printable coupons, coupon codes, grocery coupons, online coupons, restaurant coupon vouchers, and even free samples!

Back to grocery talk. I really need advice here. I want to be able to efficiently grocery shop for the family. Do you do grocery shopping in bulk - meaning, you buy food, personal items (like toiletries) and household items in one go? Do you sign up with wholesale grocery shops (like Makro, S&R, Puregold)? What about food for menus? Do you buy them there or do a separate trip to the market? I need help and tips people!

Aside from endless house chores, I also am so hooked in watching Coffee Prince. So hooked, in fact, that I will troop to Quiapo without Edil so I can finally watch it on DVD. I cannot stand being “bitin” everynight. It has been doing some damages to my dreams. LOL.

What’s keeping you busy?

Have you ever thought of a way to earn from your blogs? Sure, you can sign up for paid post advertising or link exchanges but do you want to earn from your blogs just by having regular visits to it, without requiring your blog visitors to click on any link or do anything except read and visit your blog? Well, there is a way you can get paid for every visitor to your site. Net Audio Ads is the first of its kind with paid audio advertising. By playing a 5-second audio on your site, you can already earn. They guarantee that your blogs will have 100% conversion rate as all advertisers invest on all sites signed up. You can have a way to earn more by joining their lucrative affiliate program which will stop pn February 1, 2008 - so you need to sign up now! After that, you can only sign up and earn from posting audio ads and not with the affiliate program anymore.

So there are three ways to earn - play audio ads, refer people and earn from people who they referred! This is a great networking idea! Remember to sign up before February 1, 2008. 2008 is being called the Year Of Social Media. There is no risk because it is free!

Paypal members in the Philippines and Indonesia gets a very early new year’s treat with the introduction of direct local bank withdrawals made effective yesterday. I an email announcement to all users on both South-East Asian countries, Paypal will now accept funds in their respective local currencies.

For Philippine users, withdrawals of Php7,000 or more are free. For withdrawal amounts less than Php7,000 there will be a fee of Php50. If you still have a US-based Paypal account, withdrawals to a US-based bank will incur a $5 fee.

Uh-oh. Our desktop computer has shut down by itself three times for the past week already - and then when I restart, it shows a windows failure error message. I think this old desktop is due for an overhaul (or even a new replacement) anytime soon - we wont even consider doing a computer memory upgrade anymore. I just hope and pray this trusty PC will stay strong until after we can have funds for its replacement. I cant afford to lose internet connection.

Edil is off to Baguio for their company’s business review, Martha is at my parents and all that is left in this lonely house is me and my boy. It gets incredibly lonely and silent here, and me and Matthew stick like glue, even cuddling in our king-sized bed. If it’s hard on me, it is harder on the boy. He cried so much on the way home from Amadeo. He cried at school. He said he just misses his Lolo and Lola so much and that he doesn’t want to stay at the house anymore. My heart breaks, because we really cannot do anything for us right now but stay still, wait it out and pray everything passes soon.

So Ive lost my drive to do anything :(.
No scraps, no nothing.
Just me mechanically doing chores all day.

Ill try to scrap tonight.

In other news, the construction of a house near our home is nearly finished and I just love how they got Hinkley lighting for their terrace. It led more to its terra cotta painted walls and rustic appeal.

Either today or tomorrow.
Legally, his birthday is today. But his mother claims that he was really born on the 29th
Whichever, he still celebrates twice.
Happy Birthday Edil

There will be no gifts like luxury watches given. We are saving up for the big move.
