This is not my article. Just found these on several posts (Facebook Notes few years ago). I think it is an essential reminder to all lovers out there. ;)
1. "Ang mag-assume, TALO (kahit 2% pa yan)."
2. "Kung ayaw may DAHILAN, kung gusto may PARAAN."
3. "BACK OFF (as in back off) sa mga IN A RELATIONSHIP, kahit saan anggulo mo tingnan, ikaw pa rin ang mali."
4. "Maniwala sa IT'S COMPLICATED na status. Hindi lang chenes yan."
5. "Learn to LET GO kung alam mong wala na talaga."
6. "Keep your DIGNITY."
7. "If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay."
8. "Ang QT (quality time), at least 5 hours lang per week."
9. "Hindi dahilan ang TIME."
10. "Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Kadalasan tama ito mga girls."
11. "If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve, then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. At some case this is applicable."
12. "Hindi balakid kung magkaiba ang RELIGION niyong dalawa."
13. "Kung kayang i-workout, i-WORKOUT!". Kalokohan ang reason na "IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME."
14. "All men are NOT dogs. You should not be the one doing all the bending... compromise is a two way street."
15. "Learn to forgive para magkaroon ka ng peace of mind."
16. "Some can forgive but can't forget."
17. "OPEN COMMUNICATION, TRUST AND HONESTY are the most important ingredients in a relationship."
18. "You need time to heal between relationships. There is nothing cute about baggage. Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship pag hindi kasi, it can affect or even ruin your relationship."
19. "Always have your own set of friends separate from his para may iba kang channels that is without him."
20. "Make him miss you sometimes. when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him, he takes it for granted."
21. "You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals. Look for someone complimentary. not supplementary."
22. "There's NO SUCH THING as COOL OFF/GRAY AREA. Kung white, white! Kung black, black! Walang GRAY AREA."
23."There's a possibility that a person can get attracted to another. It's human nature. It's not wrong. But that is why you're in a commitment, you discipline yourself. One may get attracted to numerous prospects and its ok. As long as, you don't nurse the feeling and do something about it. Borderline between cheating and faithfulness. Recognize reality that you already have the person that can give you more than what you get for the cheap thrill of attraction."
24. "If you felt it, then it was true. Getting hurt doesn't always mean you suffered, it also means you loved sincerely. Don't frown because it's over. SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED."
25. "Everything will fall into place."
26. A man won't let go if he really loves you. Do not hold on to someone who has let go of you. He does not love you and does not value having you. Believe me, he will not let go if he really loves you. There is another reason he is not willing to tell.
27. Do not look for reasons why he ended the relationship. There is only one reason why he ended your relationship. He just does not love you. Do not waste your time thinking of reasons or what you should have done. Move on and be open to a man who will truly love you.
28. There is a guy who will value you. There is a guy out there who can make you feel valued, appreciated, and loved. And I mean, not just during your first few weeks together. So don't lose hope.
29. Do not believe him when he says it's just the way he really is. He's not the sweet or expressive-type. Remember during your first few weeks together? Where has that sweet guy gone? He simply is not that into you anymore.
30. He must respect you. No matter how long the relationship has been, he should always show respect towards you.
31. If he fooled you, end it. Philandering once is enough. You can never trust nor respect the person again.
32. Never start a relationship the wrong way. Do not steal another girl's man, for whatever reason. Nor should you enter a relationship for the wrong reasons (loneliness, on the rebound, getting back at your ex, man-dependency, etc.) it is bound not to last. You will only end up wasting more years of your life.
33. Don't be afraid to be single. It's fun to be single, try it. You can go out whenever and wherever you want. You are free. You can date whomever you want and you get to go out for free! Do not get a boyfriend just for the sake of having one. Do not settle.
34. You will get over him. Love is over-stated. Love eventually ends and you are free to love another.
35. Be the one. Act like you are the one. Don't be a nagger. Don't hinder his gimmicks. Don't give in to him too easily. Make him treat you as important. Don't be easy. Don't be like every other girl he had in his life.
