ON LOVE and RELATIONSHIPS
1. Long distance relationship is founded on trust and love. And it will not work when either one of you is unsure of what you are getting into or even not emotionally prepared. When Louie is your guy, a pail-full of patience will definitely help you.
2. Long distance relationship doesn't work for everyone. I have heard of relationships not working when they finally have the distance and time difference. These two factors are the main reasons of broken relationships.
3. LDR will teach you how to live on your own. Its an advantage - that despite you having a significant other, you still have time for yourself.
4. If you belong to a circle of friends that are attached, do not get jealous. Instead, think of it as an advantage. You get to see a movie anytime you want, you do not have to ask for permission when you go out with a bunch of boys, you don't hurry going home because somebody's waiting for you.
5. When you are at war with a friend, it's not a matter of pride. Instead, it is a matter of accepting one another, no matter how different your personalities are. Friendships are far cries from love relationships. In love, you can break up with your boyfriend/ girlfriend. In friendship, there is no concept such as that. Its either you become acquaintances (again) or foreign to one another.
6. As the years passed, your friendship circle will not grow bigger, instead they will become smaller. Those who have been with you through rough times will eventually stay. Those who can smack you right at your face will always be there to give you a bump. Those who shout at you, those you curse you in front of everybody else will definitely be there to curse you and shout at you when you have problems.
7. No matter what happens, whether you once shout at your mom or never had the deep conversation with your dad, your family is the very first one to back you up. They will be there to pick you up, support you and simply, cook you your favorite food after a bad day.
8. Despite you tell yourself that you are a daddy's girl, your mom will understand you more than how you are understood by your dad. Its women's attraction to one another that causes it.
9. Make sure that your family approves your significant other. Though they will never be in direct contact with your man/ woman when you get married and have the family of your own, just keep in mind that its your family that you can run too when you have a problem.
10. Find somebody that complements and supplements you. Love is not a one-way street, you don't always give nor take. Love is not measured how similar your facial features are, nor how different you are from each other. Love is like, err, magic.
ON WORK AND PROFESSION
11. Take the first opportunity that knocks on your door, but keep your windows open should there be more to come over.
12. Make the most out of your first job. This will make your foundation in the professional world. Understand each problem that you encounter. Clients are there to test you, professionally and emotionally.
13. When its time to go, do not burn bridges. The industry is too small and you might bump to each other days after you changed your job. Exit gracefully.
14. Your officemates are next to your family when it comes to relationship hierarchy. Try to know them and understand them. The work environment is so diverse that you will have a hard time looking for somebody like you.
15. It is true, that when you finally landed a job and are preparing to transfer to it, another job that you have been waiting for will come knocking. Do not fret, just make sure that you make the most out of the new job, but try to maintain a connection with the company once in while.
ON LIFE, IN GENERAL.
16. It is okay to cry once in a while. Strength is not measured by how often you cry, or walk out of the issue. Instead, it is measured how graceful you handle each situation, without driving over somebody. You may miss somebody and think that crying is the only way that you can connect to them. It will clear your mind and your emotions as well.
17. It is okay that you are still childish, that you remember how you spend you weekends before, that you miss your elementary and highschool notebooks, that you missed how you played under the rain, become sick and be absent in school. Enjoy reminiscing them, if you are crazy enough, you can relive them.
18. You can frown anytime you want, but make sure there is a right reason why you did this. Just make sure that for every frown you give, have a ten fold of laughs after.
19. Imagine. imagine. imagine. This will enhance your adaptive and creative skills. Imagine how will you look like after 10 years, what family will you be having, what car will you be driving and home where you will be living in. Visit an appliance store and discuss where would you like to see the fridge, that 42 inch televesion, the front load washing machine, the intercom, the coffeemaker.
20. Treat each day as another day for adventure. You will meet somebody that doesn't respect your privacy, or talks to you when she/he can clearly see you neon green earphones, or say bad things behind your back, simply because they have a bad start of the day. This will exercise you on how to treat each situation.
21. If you have encountered a complainant (those who are overflowing of negativities at 7 in the morning), smile it out, or better yet, smile at them. Say thank you when they let you pass despite you hearing their complaints because they have to get out of the FX. Nod when a fast driving vehicle let you pass when you cross the street. Or even smile when you see somebody who cut the line in front of you, and yet she is not ready to get her bags inspected.
Life is too short to miss out the greatest, finest things in life. You may have a crazy, makulit and corny boyfriend like me, or a single one with attached friends, always look at the brighter side.
