25 WAYS FOR A LASTING RELATIONSHIP
1. TALK 
	Always in pleasant tones. No shouting or swearing at each other. Speak only positive words with 
	gentleness and kindness. Communicate daily. This is the highest and most caring form of love.

2. WALK TOGETHER MORE
	Take 30 mins. a day to exercise, communicate, release emotions, share ideas, goals and to clear 
	up any misunderstandings. It's okay to hold hands too!

3. DO NEW AND DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES TOGETHER
	Enjoy a new restaurant, a different dish, a concert, a unique vacation, attend a class 	together. 
	Do something exciting both of you can plan and look forward to. Learn together and you'll be happier.

4. GIVE EACH OTHER GIFTS OFTEN
	Like a magazine subscription a special book, a warm bath and massage, flowers, surprises, 
	experiences, favorite foods, and the many other special things your mate would enjoy and 
	get excited about.

5. WRITE LOVE NOTES
	Hide them around the home - in clothing pockets, in the kitchen drawer and secret places. Send 
	some to his or her working place. Write a passionate love letter. Express your love in writing 
	in exquisite stationery. Use your imagination and make it a fun surprise. And do it often.

6. DO NOT CRITICIZE, CONDEMN OR COMPLAIN

	negativity in a loving and lasting relationship, ever! Your mate will do the right thing - as 
	you lead by example.

	It is a gift to yourself and your mate. A healthy and attractive body also promotes a healthy 
	relationship.

	differences. Do your very best to make life easier and more fun for your mate.

9. GROW TOGETHER
	At the same speed and direction - by sharing similar ideas and activities. This will bond you 
	together even more while building on fond memories. (People who don't grow together will complete 
	their relationship and move on the lead separate lives. (This is why most people divorce.)

10. DO NOT BE POSSESSIVE
	Don't act as though you "own" your mate. Support, encourage each other's way of living and 
	individual interests. Be grateful in harmony.

11. TREASURE YOUR TIME TOGETHER

12. IT IS OKAY TO DO WHATEVER PLEASES BOTH OF YOU
	In private, there are no limits on what you can do together with each other . . . as long as both 
	benefit and agree. Whatever other people think of what you do or say is none of your business! So, 
	go ahead, experiment - and satisfy each other to the limit!

13. BE OPEN
	To new ideas, experiences, and relationships. This is the way for fun, growth and expansion in your

	This will open both of you to an even greater respect for each other. Be thankful for your mate's 
	kindness.

	we care to admit.

	vegetables, whole wheat, grains, high fiber, low fat, low calories food.

	This will help promote a tranquil setting for greater peace and happiness in your lives. It really works! 
	Begin this - today! I hope you are in good health. Have a good day!

	enhances your mate's choice and appearance, too!

23. SHARE IN FINANCIAL MATTERS
	If you are married, communicate with each other on all your finances. If you have a family business, 
	be sure both are informed on profits, losses, expenses, etc. Set your financial priorities together. 
	This will help to strengthen your relationship which is built on trust and sharing. Enjoy building 
	your financial future together. This is important. 

24. ACCEPT EACH OTHER TOTALLY
	Exactly the way both of you are. Do not try to change each other's uniqueness. Allow your mate to 
	change if and when he or she desires. This promotes everlasting peace.

25. SAY: "I LOVE YOU" DAILY - MANY TIMES
	Especially when you wake up and before you go to sleep. Say it for the rest of your lives together. 
	Never ever take love for granted. Express it verbally as well as with action. We all need to hear 
	that magical phrase. It reaffirms how we feel at that moment. So fill your lives with millions of 
	moments of love by saying: "I LOVE YOU." 



FALLING IN LOVE
(From the book "Letters to My Sons" by Kent Nerburn)

It is a mystery why we fall in love.
It is a mystery how it happens.  It is a mystery when it comes.
It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mystery why some love fails.

	You can analyze this mystery and look for reasons and causes, but you will never do anymore than 
take the life out of the experiences.  Just as life itself is more than the sum of the bones and muscles 
and electrical impulses in the body, love is more than the sum of interest and attractions and commonalities
that two people share. And just as life itself is a gift that comes and goes in its own time, so too, the 
coming of love must be taken as an unfathomable gift that cannot be questioned in its ways.

	Sometimes hopefully at least once in your life- the gift of love will come to you in full flower and you will 
take hold of it and celebrate it in all inexpressible beauty.  This is the dream we all share.  More often, it 
will come and take hold of you, celebrate you for a brief moment then move on. When this happens to young 
people,they often try to grasp the love and hold it to them refusing to see that it is a gift that is freely 
given and a gift that just as freely moves away.  When they fall out of love, or the person they love feels the 
spirit of love leaving they try desperately to reclaim the love that is lost rather than accepting the gift for 
what it is, the moving on.  They want answers where there are no answers.  They want to know what is wrong in 
them that makes the other person no longer love them or try to get their love change, thinking that if some 
small things were different, love would bloom again.  They blame their circumstances and say that if they go far 
away and start a new life together, their love will grow.

	They try to give meaning to what has happened.  But there's no meaning beyond love itself, and until 
they accept its own mysterious ways, they live in a sea of misery.  You need to know this love, and to accept 
it.  You need to treat what it brings you with kindness.  IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE 
WHO DOESN'T LOVE YOU, BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU.  
LOVE JUST DIDN'T CHOOSE TO REST IN THE OTHER PERSON'S HEART.  IF YOU FIND SOMEONE 
ELSE IN LOVE WITH YOU AND YOU DON'T LOVE HIM, FEEL HONORED THAT LOVE CAME AND 
CALLED AT YOUR DOOR BUT GENTLY REFUSED THE GIFT THAT YOU CANNOT RETURN.  DO NOT 
TAKE ADVANTAGE. Do not cause pain. How you deal with love is how it deal with you, and all our hearts 
feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different. IF YOU FALL IN LOVE 
WITH ANOTHER, AND HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH YOU, AND THEN LOVE CHOOSES TO LEAVE 
DO NOT TRY TO RECLAIM IT OR ASSESS BLAME.  LET IT GO. THERE IS A REASON AND 
THERE IS A MEANING. YOU WILL KNOW IN TIME.

	REMEMBER THAT YOU DON'T CHOOSE LOVE.  LOVE CHOOSES YOU. All you can really do is
accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life.  Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach 
out and give it away.  Give it back to the person who bought it alive in you.  Give it to others who deem it poor 
in spirit.  Give it to the world around you in anyway you can.  This is where lovers go wrong.  Having been so 
long without love, they understand love only as a need.  They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled 
by love, and they begin to look for love as something that flows to them rather than from them.  The first blush of 
new love is filled to overflowing, but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as a need. They 
cease to be someone who seeks love.  They forgot that the secret of LOVE IS THAT IT IS A GIFT, AND THAT 
IT CAN BE MADE TO GROW ONLY BY GIVING IT AWAY.

Remember this, and keep it to your heart:
	Love has its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe 
it or coerce it, or reason it to staying.  You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when 
it comes to you.  But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there is 
nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do.  Love always has been and always will be a mystery.  
Be glad that it came to life for a moment in your life.  If you keep you heart open, it will come again.




LEARNING TO LOVE

	Learning to love is our greatest challenge. Set your will and make love your practice. And your 
emotion will turn to love! It may not be easy to love, but it sure has multiple rewards!

	Love is the healthiest, happiest and the greatest way to live! Living and  giving love. Love is 
something you do -- no matter what others do. Love can change attitudes; Love can change the mind. Love 
can make us likeable; Love can make us kind. Love can break the barriers; Love can set us free. In other 
words, LOVE can mold a new life.

	It is simple be kind! And you'll be a lovable person! Love always believes the best! Love always 
finds the best--because love looks for the best! Give yourself a big love-lift. Make it a habit to look 
for the best in others.

	Love is not unrealistic. It sees what is wrong with other person but it chooses also to see the 
best. Believe the best in others and you will bring the best out of them. There are people, whose lives 
you touch this day, who desperately need you to see them through the eyes of love.

	Love life and it will love you back. Love others and they will love you back! Don't let anyone or 
anything keep you from giving your love to loved ones. 

SAY IT!
EXPRESS IT!
LET IT OUT!
GIVE IT OUT!

Love is never:

hard or harsh
rough or tough
crude or rude.




LESSONS ABOUT LOVE

	Anyone who has gone through the agony of losing someone she/he loves so much will still wish 
against all odds to have that love back again. But, sometimes love lost is a love gone forever. No 
amount of hope can bring back to life a relationship that just died a natural death. 
        
	Set yourself free. Let your heart spread its wings and fly. Remember, it may rain for 40 days 
and 40 nights, but still will not rain forever. One day the pouring will stop and there will be plenty 
of branches where you can find rest. One of these is where you will build your nest and start over 
again. It's never too late. 
        
	Remember, you may find love and lose it but "WHEN LOVE DIES, YOU NEVER HAVE TO 
DIE WITH IT". Remember that you cannot be a redeemer all your life. The best way to weigh a rela-
tionship is out it in the test of fire You cannot be a sooner of your mistake forever. Remember 
that we all fall and make wrong decisions but our blunders are meant not to bury us deep in misery 
but to teach us the valued lessons of life. 

	Loving is always a learning process. With love, we learn how to care and sacrifice. We learn 
to share and reach out. We learn to be UNSELFISH AND GIVE MORE THAN WE CAN. And when 
everything doesn't end well, we learn how it feels like to fall and get hurt. But learning doesn't 
have to end there. After our fall, we strive to get back on our feet and move on. 

        This is where we learn that,"LIFE DOESN'T END WHERE OUR HEARTACHES BEGIN." "THERE 
IS NO FUTURE IN A RELATIONSHIP OF LIES AND SELFISHNESS". 

         It's true, there is life in love. But, there can still be life even after losing love if you 
leave the past behind and let your heart heal and give you the chance to find your self again. The 
success of a relationship lies not only in the beauty of its beginning but in its consistency. Make a 
choice not on impulse but a decision based on a healthy balance of mind and heart. Let us always 
remember that...."HAPPINESS IS NOT A MATTER OF DESTINY BUT A MATTER OF CHOICE". 

        There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just 
find our selves getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon becomes a part of our 
everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we begin 
to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than friendship. We start our desperate attempt 
to get noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry 
for ourselves. 

        "YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORGET SOMEONE YOU LOVE. WHAT YOU NEED TO LEARN IS 
HOW TO ACCEPT THE VERDICT OF REALITY WITHOUT BEING BITTER OR SORRY FOR YOUR SELF. 
YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF GIVING THAT DEDICATION AND LOVE TO SOMEONE MORE 
DESERVING".

         Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen not 
only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means 
that someone better is coming tomorrow. 

        "IF YOU LOSE LOVE, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE FAILED IN LOVE. CRY IF YOU 
HAVE TO, BUT MAKE SURE THOSE TEARS WASH AWAY THE HURT AND THE BITTERNESS 
THAT THE PAST LEFT YOU WITH. LET GO OF YESTERDAY AND LOVE WILL FIND ITS WAY BACK 
TO YOU". 

        And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime. A woman on 
the rebound could easily fall for sweeping emotions and be made to falsely believe that she finally 
stumbled upon the right man when what she just found is only someone to cover up for the love she lost. 
A man who makes a promise with words and not with actions may never live up to fulfill them. 

        "ITS TRUE THAT LOVE CAN WAIT FOREVER BUT IT IS CRAZY TO STUBBORNLY HOPE FOR 
SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EVEN CARE OR UNDERSTAND HOW WE FEEL." 

        Love makes us see things through rose-colored glasses. Most of the time, we fail to recognize 
the danger sign that light up along our way. This feeling you have nurtured for so long isn't healthy 
anymore. You must realize that you have to let go now before it consumes you and your sanity. There is 
always a time to think and stop. A time to be sensible and not allow our hearts to rule over our heads. 

        "YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY NOT IN THE ARMS OF A MAN WHO KEEPS YOU WAITING 
BUT IN THE ARMS OF SOMEONE WHO WILL TAKE YOUNOW AND LOVE YOU FOREVER." 

        If loving a person who is attached to someone else is a crime , then , maybe,many of us would 
have been jailed long before we realize what its consequences could have been. Loving someone is never 
a sin. It is what people do out of love that sometimes makes it all wrong. The selfish desire to want 
that person is what makes it a sin. 

        "DON'T THINK ONLY OF YOUR FEELINGS FOR REAL LOVE DOESN'T HAVE A PLACE FOR 
SELFISH PEOPLE." 

        When there is love, here is always sacrifice. When we love someone, we never easily give up 
on that person. Even if we get hurt badly we always try to find a way to ease the pain and learn to 
understand and forgive. Loving too much doesn't hurt. It is when we expect this love to be reciprocated 
that we begin to seek approval and acceptance of the things we have done and when we are taken for 
granted and rejected, we curse the very same love that we once freely and happily offered. 

        "DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WAITING FOR SOMEONE WHO NEVER REALLY CARED ABOUT 
HOW YOU WOULD HAVE FELT. OPEN YOUR HEART AGAIN AND GIVE YOUR SELF THE CHANCE TO 
FIND THE MAN WHO WOULD MAKE LOVING WORTH THE PAIN AND THE SACRIFICE". 

        Just like anything else, our love grows weak and dies if not taken cared of. It can keep up with 
pain only to a certain extent. Beyond that, it withers without any hope of recovery and soon dies. 

        "GOD WAKES US UP IN THE MIDST OF A STORM TO TEACH US A LESSON. HE TAKES AWAY 
PEOPLE WE LOVE, SO WE CAN LEARN TO VALUE LOVE ITSELF. HE MAKES US CRY SO HARD 
SO WE CAN SEE CLEARLY WHEN WE OPEN OUR EYES. HE MAKES US BITTER SO WE CAN 
REALIZE THAT THERE IS NO GENUINE HAPPINESS IF WE THINK ONLY OF OUR NEEDS AND 
NOT OF OTHERS?." 

        Relationships built on jealousy and selfishness are doomed from the very beginning. The hardest 
part of losing love is letting go and moving on. Most of us cry endlessly over things that could have 
been but never will be. 

        "God allows us to experience pain to make us stronger and better persons. He will see us through 
the most trying and difficult times in our lives and only if we put our trust in Him can we learn to find 
joy in our tears and happiness in our sorrows." 

        In many failed relationships, separation comes as the inevitable choice but moving on always 
proves to be twice as difficult as letting go. Sometimes, the end of a relationship is emposed on us, 
but our choice to hold on is always beyond the control of circumstance. Letting go is a decision that 
can never be dictated on us. It is a resolve we make ourselves. Acceptance is the key to a new beginning 
and time is the healer of all wounds. Even if the storm casts its fearful shadow, there will always be 
light after our darkest and loneliest moments. There is always a hope for those who believe. There is 
always a chance for those who try. 

        "LOSING SOMEONE WE LOVE MAY NOT BE A LOSS AT ALL BUT A BLESSING BECAUSE 
SOMEONE EVEN MORE DESERVING IS YET TO COME." 

        There is nothing wrong in expressing our feelings to someone we love, but "WE MUST ALWAYS 
BE SENSITIVE TO THE SIGNALS THAT TELL US WHEN TO RATIONALIZE AND BE SENSIBLE." 

        There comes a time in our lives when we would fall for someone who wouldn't be as interested as we 
are because his attention is focused on someone else. There are many times when we love but don't get loved 
in return. 

        "THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE SIGN AHEAD SAYS STOP BUT WE STILL STUBBORNLY HEAD ON." 

        We would say our love is unconditional. But if it really is, then we should never feel bad. But why 
do we get frustrated when love turns sour? Because we still subconsciously seek acceptance and 
assurance from the people we care about. 

        "BEING IN LOVE CAN BE THE MOST WONDERFUL THING WE COULD EXPERIENCE BUT IF 
THE FEELING BEGINS TO CONSUME OUR WHOLE BEINGS, THEN WE HAVE TO STOP AND LET 
OUR MINDS AND NO TOUR HEARTS DICTATE OUR ACTIONS. ONLY WHEN WE LEARN TO ACCEPT 
OUR FATE AND UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF OUR FAILURES CAN WE TRULY GO ON WITH LIFE 
WITH OUT HAVING TO LOOK BACK AND CRY OVER THE THINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BUT 
WILL NEVER BE...."



CONSOLATION OF PHILISOPHY

	Life is a four-letter word that seems so easy but is too difficult to define. Try asking yourself this 
question, "What is life?", and you'll end up juggling with words. One could hardly find the right words to 
describe it or perhaps we never comprehend its real meaning.  Our mere existence in this world does not 
qualify us to be masters of our lives.  We may be existing for years but have we fully understand why we 
live and what's life in its real essence?

	Life is a game, as a gambler would describe it - sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.  Just like 
any game, the ultimate end depends on the Master of the Game. It's how you play your cards well and how you 
take risks.  However, we have our own shares of success and failures, and just like gambling, life is full 
of uncertainties. of inconstancies.

	Life is precious to medically inclined persons.  Every breathing of an individual is essential..every 
vital sign.  Time is a great factor for every delay would mean a minute near death's pitfall.  Mistakes have 
no place in this profession.  "You could never be wrong when you think of your patient," a doctor once said.  
The paradox is that nobody can save one's life and being in the medical field does not entitle one to be God.  
The essence is not in saving lives, rather it's mission points towards the alleviation of the patient's pain. 
Moreover when one dies, the immediate family mocks the doctors not thinking that there is somebody greater 
than anyone who takes life away from us, in His own time, in His perfect plan.

	An architect sees life a colorful, creative and complex masterpiece.  In life, we are all architects 
in our own ways.  We decide for its interior and exterior fixtures, which reflect our personality and character.  
We are the creators, ourselves.

	To an engineer, life is an infrastructure, a building that must be sturdy to withstand pressures and 
calamities.  Seemingly, our life's foundation must be anchored to a rock, which can hold onto and build our 
beams, so when the strong wind blows we will not fall down.  It must be a stronghold of faith, which we 
could grasp when the road seems steep and difficult to tead on; so will not be uprooted trees when the 
storms come.

	Life is more than the biggest book that one could ever find, a teacher would think.  It is a 
learning process where a curriculum and grades are not important.  It teaches lessons more than books could 
offer.  It is a learning experience. Path of these are the failures we make and mind you, they do more than 
teaching, they even leave scars that made us grow into beautiful individuals. The more wounds you possess, 
the more gorgeous you become.

	For us students, life could either be easy or difficult.  One could be serious or could be too relax 
perceiving life as a piece of cake where one would just expel when he doesn't like the taste anymore.  We 
could cheat as we do in exams or take it honestly and sincerely without fooling ourselves.

	Life's lessons could sometimes be harder to comprehend than solving mathematics problems.  
However, when we do more than frowning by opening our minds to life's unraveling mystery, we begin to learn 
other than confining ourselves to the four walls of our classrooms.  As students, we have our foretaste of 
bitterness and sweetness as we do our roles not for our parents but more importantly for ourselves... for 
our future..

	During our journey, we may have done our best or just take life as a game as if we own our entire 
life then resent at the end.  Then here we come, praying for the impossible to happen, blaming God if our 
wishes would not be granted. Whatever our methods were, what we become now is a fruit of our labors, our 
decisions, and of our own will.

	A year would soon be added in our lives as the days swiftly kiss the calendar away.  We could have 
been better or worst but this I have to say, we still have hope as we breathe God's mercy daily.  Let us 
not dwell on the past but rather, let's look forward for God designed a better "YOU".  It's just that we 
have gone astray and had followed our own tracks away from His guiding hand.  We have to let Him finish 
the work He has begun in us.  This is only possible if we submit ourselves in His sovereignty. 



DECEPTION
By Irma Diaz-Dolly
	Deception is not a game. It's a very hard price one must pay. Who gave the right to make deception 
a rule? Causing so much pain and leaving someone halfway insane.
	Why deceive, lie and cheat? Just be honest. Don't ruin one's life, you don't know if that person 
is strong or weak, or how much pain they can hold inside. Who made the rules to fall in love and be 
played for a fool? Who gave anyone the right to use and abuse, a pain that will forever live inside? Who 
gave someone the right to build himself at the expense of others? 
	Oh, 'tis all deception. Such a fool! A pain that one will try to hide, but so many of us can 
recognize the pain that lives inside. Why steal someone's pride for the name of love? All I ask is why? 
Oh why all this deception? Such a fool! 



THE ART OF LETTING GO
It's over. He's gone! 	Why do we have to part while the love is still there? Why do we have to suffer? Why do we have 
to cry when someone bids goodbye? Why do beginnings have an end? Why do we have to meet only to 
loose in the end? There are questions left unanswered, words left unsaid, letters left unread, poems left 
undone, songs left unsung, love left unexpressed, promises left unfulfilled. In a relationship, one of the 
hardest things to do is saying goodbye and letting go. It is as hard as breaking the crystal 'coz you never 
know when you will be able to pick up the pieces again. More often than not, they who go suffers not the 
pain of parting, it is they who stays behind that suffers because they are left with memories of the love 
that was meant to be-a love that was at the beginning and at the end of a relationship. We are embarrassed 
to find ourselves alone. Unfair as it may seem, but that's the way love goes. That's the drama, the bitter 
sweet and the risk of falling in love. Everything will eventually come to its end, without us knowing when, 
without us knowing how, without us even knowing why and we must forget not because we want to but 
because we have to. In letting go, sorrows come not in a single spy but in battalion. It seems that 
everywhere you go, everything you do, every turn of your head, every move of your body, every breath 
you take, every beat of your heart always remind you of him. It's like a stab of a knife, a torture in the night. 
Just imagine there are four billion people in the earth but it seems you feel empty without the others. I don't 
know if it is worth calling an art, but letting go entails a special skill that sparkles within considerate space 
and time.

	Time heals all wounds. Acceptance plays a part. Not all wishes come true, not every love story 
ends with "and they live happily ever after". It's over. He's gone! But life has to go on. Goodbye doesn't 
mean forever. There will always be a place and time where all questions will be answered, words will be said, 
letters will be read, poems will be recited in the night, songs will be sung in harmony, love will be expressed 
in solitude, promises will be fulfilled.  Somewhere. Somehow. Someday.



BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
	There may be days when you get up in the morning and the things aren't the way you had hoped 
they would be. That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better.
	There are times when people disappoint you and let you down. But those are the times when you 
must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing 
in yourself.
	There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to 
accept them. Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at 
times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense who you really are.
	So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, 
remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be. Because the challenges and changes 
will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come for you.

Keep believing in yourself.
