Long Distance Relationship Rescue

1. ASK THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. Once you and your sweetie have decided to pursue a long distance relationship, sit down and have a talk. Clarify everything; ask all the questions you have in mind. Set the rules, agree on them. This will definitely save you from a lot of pain if things don't work out in the end.
2. COMMUNICATE EVERYDAY. Keeping in touch is not so hard in this day and age. You can send each other short e-meals, even from work, or agree on a time when you can chat and talk about your day. Find ways to let each other know how you're doing.
3. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING SOME TIME FOR YOUR SELF. While some people don't think being in a long distance relationship has any advantages, they,re mistaken. This is the perfect time for you to spend time with your friends and family to have solo trips and explore on your own. This will truly help you become a better and stronger person.
4. PURSUE COMMON INTERESTS. Even though you're apart You can both play the same online game or watch the same movie and share your experiences with it. Read the same book, and share what you think about it. This will help lessen the pain of the distance. And if you're still having doubts, just remember what Leslie Karsner says: "Long distance romances can work; they just need a little extra effort and some planning."

Decisions

Sometimes we can make rush decisions without even thinking what could later on be the effect and outcome, even the small decisions we make in our daily lives could make changes little by little till it gets bigger. I say this in accordance to what I experienced awhile ago when I was invited to have a dinner in my close friend's house since she just moved to a new apartment. Well, I realized that I should have turned down her (ka live-in)partner's invite when he asked me to just go with him riding his motorcycle to Caryl's house instead of his (ka live-in)my close friend ~ since she's tired of going back and fort with him riding his motorcycle running errands. We'll it came to my mind right away not go since It seems and sounded not proper to me ~ well, I don't have anything against the person but I'm just trying to protect future happenings not only that I protect my family(my husband) but for myself as well, but I came to realized that almost all the time when in situations like this I get myself caught unguarded of the decisions I make due to my excitement and my outgoing persona that's why I can affirm to the invite. Now when I relate to my husband all the things happened awhile ago to the activity that I attended, I feel so guilty the part when I relate to him that I went riding with my close friend's partner(ka live-in) to go to Caryl's house and realized that this is not what he wanted, that this is not what I wanted and this is not what we expected to happen. I always found myself guilty after when I already decided and when the situation already happened. Every time when I get home from somewhere when me and some friends have this little socialization, I always remind myself that next time in some little or big gatherings I should be more extra careful with my decision making and actions in dealing each person in the circle of friends. I need to know more of myself and I need to know more things that could distract me, or be an exchange to this kind of situation without sabotaging my happiness, I really need to find this out deep within me. So help me God!

Nostalgic

I feel like a child now sobbing, as I'm currently listening to Henry Mancini's version of Moon River, it reminds me a lot of things on the past, remembering my Lola, I used to grow up with her, my mom and her late siblings. I used to remember that what I'm feeling now was just like before, my early childhood, before my grade school I cried at the middle of the night when I heard old and mellow songs while thingking that I don't want to live alone and I don't want the people around me gone, especially my mom especially time.. that would seem so long ago very long those times when my age was just like our youngest brother now. I'm thinking that time is so cruel, why do things have to end, why do people gone, why is it that they'll just stay? It hurts and is unacceptable to me, I can't bear the fact of life now...

Uplift Ourselves

Don't mind those people who easily judge, don't be bitter and just move on! We know ourselves better than them! =) Stay happy and strong!

If you're holding grudges based on "the principle of the matter." ha! I have to laugh @ that. Someone hurt u & now you're hurting yourself.

Above are things which encourages us. Life is not that easy, we want to live peacefully within ourselves and always ask God to bless us everyday, but there really are people who say negative things to us, sometimes we can't blame them just because we don't know what is really going on deep inside them that caused them to be like that, maybe due to social pressures or due to some rules of the society in which are applicable to others and to some do not, but in anyway, still there judgment to us affects us, and that is why we need to keep on reminding ourselves in the above quotes. So if there are those who judge you, don't take it by heart, because I guess the matter is within them and not within us, so there is nothing to worry about.
