My partner's not perfect. He has flaws, imperfections--just like I do. He does some things sometimes na I don't like. I do some things that he doesn't like too. We're not perfect and we've accepted each other just the way we are--two imperfect human beings who love each other genuinely :)

Whenever may pagtatalo kami, I don't just focus on what he did wrong or what kind of injustice and emotions I feel. Instead, I try to focus on how he feels, why things happened, and what we can do to be better together :) Syempre, I too have moments na sobrang emotional ko, nagtatampo ko. Pero one should not fix their eyes on that. What we fix our eyes on is how blessed we are to have each other. Some people--a lot, actually--pray and plead to get what we have: love--beautiful, genuine, unconditional love. And thinking about that, nawawala unti unti and then all at once lahat ng selfish thoughts namin. We forgive, we learn, we love each other more.

Remember na when you have arguments, it's not you against each other. It's the two of you (together, of course) against the problem :) Arguments are made to resolve things, not to make things worse.

Love is not perfect. We are not perfect. But we are made perfect by God's love and his agape--His unconditional love. So when you focus on how blessed you are, you tend to let go of all selfishness and anger. You'll come to realize na yung bawat tampo, little arguments and misunderstandings...those can never compare to the blessing God has given you. In our case, God gave us each other :)

When I look at my partner (we are to marry soon), when I think about how we met, how he treats me, kinikilig ako like it's the first time :D Dati pag nanonood ako ng kdrama noon, kinikilig ako sa ma bida, but now...di mapapantayan ng kdrama kilig ko sa partner ko kahit matagal na kami :D

I think nothing compares sa pagmamahal ng magulang.

When I look at my parents and all of the things they've done for me, the values they've instilled in me, I see love in its finest, most humanly infinite form. I see courage, I see selflessness, I see strength despite imperfections. And I don't think that my words can ever be enough to express how truly grateful I am to have my parents.

Skl kasi parang lately, ang daming talks about romance ng kabataan, nasa spotlight madalas yung pagkakaroon ng jowa, ng good career, ng self love. And that's totally okay. Pero parang people don't hear enough about parental love lately. I know walang perfect na parents. Wala ring perfect na anak. But through every flaw, may we keep in mind and in spirit, the love that we ought to have for our parents--the overflowing love they deserve like the love they give to us nang walang hinahangad na kapalit.

My partner has no idea how much I look up to him and how truly remarkable he is to me.

I try to plunge myself into his work, his field paminsan, trying to know more about it. And each time I do, narereiterate sakin how excellent he is as a man, as a person, and how much hard work it takes to be in his shoes. Pero despite that, he makes time for me, makes sacrifices for me, and he loves me for all that I am and ever will be.

Pag napapagod ako sa work, iniisip ko lang how much more pa sya sa trabaho nya, pero sya, may oras sya sakin, at ginagawa nya lahat ng loving things that he can for me in his own little ways. Doon palang, narerecharge na ko :) It encourages me and makes me happy :)

I met my other half at a time when I least expected it but prayed for it the most :)

Dati, I didn't like it when people said "hintay ka lang, bata ka pa, dadating din yun". That sounded so lazy for me and for my perspective. I always thought people had to work for things.

When I met my husband-to-be, I found na those aren't the words women need to hear.

It sounds like something you'd say just because it's what everybody says and I feel like people need to explain it further and not just to brush it off. Afterall, one of the biggest decisions a person has to make is choosing a spouse.

I think what people seeking true love need to hear is something along the lines of this:

God's timing is always perfect. I know it feels like you're running out of time, but you are on your own timeline and God has big plans for you. And sometimes, you have to get yourself ready to receive His blessings too. In your season of waiting, you have to prepare yourself for the person that God will bless you with :D Baka you need a moment din to really check what "love" means to you, what God wants it to be. Through it all, may you keep your eyes on Him and continue to walk with Jesus :) May you praise Him in each season of your life :)

Remember, you can't rush a moment...something worth it isn't gonna come by too easily. It will take time--but trust that God's timing is always perfect :)
