One man for one woman. That’s how it’s always been for most people. But there are other women (and men, too) who are drawn to those who are already committed. For them the challenge of winning the person over is thrilling, exciting! They love the chase and the eventual capitulation. And some men (and women, too) love the attention. They find it exciting and flattering to be given that much attention by someone who already knows that he (or she) is already committed to someone else.

If that is the case, I suggest tell him to choose her! Choose the other person because if you are truly in love and committed to the person you are with, there wouldn’t be any choice to begin with.

I don’t see any reason for a man NOT to fall in love with a superwoman. Unless that man is a wuss and has serious self-esteem problems!

I love the cute photo above and thought I’d share it here. You know why? Because I know for a fact that men love those damsels in distress better than the ones who are independent and can take care of themselves. I’d like to point out that there is nothing wrong with falling for a superwoman, someone who is assertive, strong, independent, brave and is under a higher income bracket.

Who are you with now?

Happy Friday!

Lines are burning this time of the year. I am sure of that! Love ones who are on the other side of the planet are finding ways to communicate online with their love ones in the country. Vice versa. I know because I’ve been there. Actually one of my very good friends is in the other side of the planet now and we use Facebook and Gmail chat to communicate with one another.

I remember the time when only snail mails and voice tapes were the means of communicating with love ones abroad. It took days, sometimes weeks, before a message would found its way to the hands of the recipient. No wonder so many people working and living away from their families found it hard to cope with the loneliness and the homesickness. But these days, just booting up the computer, going online on whatever means of communication you prefer is enough to ease the loneliness and homesickness of someone living on the other side of the planet.

It takes a little for some people to smile. It takes very little effort to make your love one happy. Even a cute lolly can make her smile, you know!

Take some time to make her smile. Make an effort to show that you truly care. It takes very little to make her eyes light up. It takes very little to make her heart sing. All you need to do is make an effort.

Happy mid-week everyone!

I believe that when you get committed to someone, settle down, get married, or vowed to be with another for the rest of your life, you really believe in your heart that you will turn gray together. Who wants to be alone in life? I don’t.

This woman I know was in a relationship with a guy for ten years before finally settling down when she was already in her late 30′s. She loves the guy so much that she even tried to have a baby for him. Three miscarriages later, she stopped trying. Still, she is doing her best to serve him and show him her unending love. She told me not once but a couple of times in the past that she can’t go on in life without her husband. She just couldn’t live without him. She plans to turn gray and wrinkled with him at her side.

Lately, seeing them together, it made me think of my own future. Will I turn gray alone? No, I am not lonely and I don’t think I will be lonely being alone. But it’s still so much better to have someone by your side when you can no longer function properly.

Love can be found whenever, wherever.

Happy weekend!

Continue spreading the love…

I would like to think that I am a romantic person even if I have limited experience when it comes to being in love…

This guy I know from high school came to visit a few years ago. He is now living abroad and just comes back to the country for brief visits. Whenever he would be visiting, he drops me a line to tell me he wants to see me and our other friends. I would organize a get together, normally a dinner, and that’s when we catch up on what’s been happening to each one of us.

He told us that he’s happy with the live-in arrangement he now has with his girlfriend. They’ve been together for quite sometime and he’s happy with her. He has a son from a previous relationship and he isn’t too keen on a new child or jumping into marriage. We told him that it’s fine and dandy with him but what about the girl? Wouldn’t it be fair for her to get a ring on her finger to make everything official? He said they are both happy with their arrangement.

But you know what? When one of our friends talked to the girl about marriage, she wants it. So bad for them! She is just respecting his decision and what they agreed on before she moved in to his place that’s why she isn’t insisting on making things official.

I do believe that every girl dreams of getting married to the one they love. Women are just polite and most of the time afraid to say anything that might ruin the status quo. I know they are still in a live-in arrangement. I just wish that the girl is still happy with their relationship.

It’s a risk to fall in love with someone of a different culture. A friend of mine took the risk and fell in love with someone from abroad. It took them less than a year to figure out that they can’t live away from each other so the guy processed my friend’s papers and took her abroad to live with him. They are getting married before the month ends.

I was talking to my sister a couple of nights ago about falling in love with someone older, more mature and wiser. A man who is done with all the trivial things and is up for the more serious stuff. Like settling down. But… and this is a big BUT… I am hoping with a man who isn’t keen on having a kid anymore. I don’t plan on having a kid. It’s a long story why but suffice it to say that I am afraid of the kid getting my bad genes. You know, cancer, diabetes, kidney ailments, heart diseases, etc.

It’s a risk but if I fall in love with someone from a different culture, I will accept it with open arms.

Would you?

…don’t ever let indifference and hatred and anger consume you. Stay in love. It will work wonders in your life. I promise you that.

Happy weekend everyone!

Don’t forget to have fun with your love ones!
