Keeping Things Private :)

I've been talking about love and marriage because I still have that hangover from the Heart To Heart Conference. And besides, it's the Love Month! :)

Today, I saw the beautiful pre-nup photos of Drew and Iya. And this is my most favorite:

Such a beautiful couple! :) (Photo Credit: Mango Red)

I just love Drew and Iya. They are popular celebrities but they know how to keep their relationship private. I guess that's what made them strong as a couple. I admire them for staying faithful to each other amidst the many temptations around them. They weren't a "can't live without each other" type of couple (just like us :D), and despite working for two warring networks, they stayed in love. And just last Friday, they finally tied the knot and officially became Mr. and Mrs. Arellano. And may I just say that it was indeed a perfect private wedding! ♥

See, I'm really a fan of love stories. I find them beautiful and inspiring. However, I don't like it when couples don't know how to use the Private Messaging facility of Facebook and other social media platforms. It's really annoying how "people in love" use social media to publicly display their affection. I mean can't they just tell it directly to each other? Yes, it's good to witness love online once in a while. Pero utang na loob, huwag naman minu-minuto, oras-oras, araw-araw!

I didn't get to catch yesterday's episode of Ang Pinaka but I managed to get their list of Ang Pinaka KSP na Paandar ng Lovers Online! Thanks to their Twitter account. :D (Photos taken from their Facebook account.)

Here's the list:

10. Engaging in Cyber Affairs

“Cyber affair” is having a relationship with another person over the internet, whether you're single, in a relationship, or already married.

9. Stalking Your Lover's Account

Haha. This. :D

8. Sharing a Couple's Account

Couples also share an online account that even bears both of their names such as "Brangelina", Rodamelyn" or "Julielmo."

I repeat: Konting privacy naman!

7. Sharing Too Much Information

Some couples think they are in a reality show, they share and post every single detail of their lives on their wall posts.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Feeling celebrity much?

6. Liking/Sharing/Reposting Every Single Post of Your Ex

5. Flooding Your Status with Love Quotes

Sometimes our wall posts are flooded with love quotes and intriguing love messages you'd think it's Valentine's Day!

4. Using Kilometric Love Hashtags

2 hashtags lang kailangan ang gagamitin mo, ayon sa "How To Use Hashtags." Get it?

3. Fighting-Breaking-Up-Making-Up Online

@sam_yg: "Your personal quarrels should be kept as private as you can. Don't make social media your public arena."

Enough said.

2. Flooding your Wall with Public Display of Affection

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

1. Changing Your Relationship Status Everytime You Have an LQ!

@sam_yg: “Kalokohan iyan. It’s a sign of immaturity."

Enough said (again).

As mentioned in one of the sessions during the conference last weekend, an important element in building healthy relationships is privacy. I was discussing about it with a sister and we both agreed that you don't need to post every little thing you share with your partner. What for? To let everybody know that you're happy and you're having a great relationship? If you really are, a Facebook status is not necessary. Sabi nga, "the thing about TRUTH is, it will eventually come to the surface." If you are happily married, then people will know you are, even without the everyday photos of you and your spouse. I don't know who said this first but I couldn't agree more:

Yeah, baby. :D

If I haven't stressed it well enough, I'd say it again: Learn to keep things private, please. :)

Understanding Lupang Hinirang

Every Filipino knows Lupang Hinirang (though some know it better as " Bayang Magiliw "). How can you not know it when it is the national anthem of the Philippines? But do we really mean the lyrics that we sing? Do we understand it in the first place? Photo Credit: http://diazi.ism-online.org This video has gone viral weeks ago. This afternoon, I shared it to my teammates, and one commented, "Yun pala yun . Ngayon ko lang naintindihan." He immediately downloaded it and converted to MP3. So for those who have not seen it, once again, here is Joey Ayala's version of Lupang Hinirang. And I agree, you would never want to sing it in another way. (But that's just me. :D) This rendition is simply beautiful. Truly Filipino. :) Of course that doesn't mean we need to revise our national anthem but maybe we can consider about correcting the way we sing it (read: proper pronunciation).

Jesus Week 2015: A Time To HEAL ♥

I had the best, most meaningful HOLY WEEK ever, so far (the best is yet to come!). :) Thanks to Joy who shared the Jesus Week poster on Facebook. It was God's personal invitation, and I couldn't thank Him enough for the grace that He also gave me to respond. Everything is grace. It was not just my personal decision to join. It was God's grace that allowed me to. So how did it go? Well, as what I have told my friends, it was amazingly beautiful! The experience was priceless! On Holy Monday, I posted Fr. Jerry Orbos' acronym for HOLY WEEK . I experienced all of that and more! :) I won't be able to share everything as there is just a lot of personal, intimate encounters with the Lord. But if I were to summarize, it was a time for me to HEAL. :) H alt . Indeed, I was able to stop and just rest in the Lord. Before leaving Manila, I have already told myself that this retreat will be all about Jesus ( Jesus Week nga e :D ). No emails, no texts, no calls. I...

Thank You, Lord! :)

It has been a long and stressful day (the past three days have been lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng and stressssssssssssssssssssssssssssssful), but You are just so amazing, Lord that I couldn't sleep without telling You how grateful I am. :) Thank You, Lord for the miracle that You did yesterday. Break even and more. :) Thank You, Lord for the laughter and stories shared during the post-mission meeting with Team Thailand. :) Team Thailand - Princesses from SFC Metro Manila :) Thank You, Lord for Lawrence. He is just the (almost) perfect man. He has his flaws, but they are acceptable; he makes mistakes, but they are all forgivable. There are a lot of men but there can never be anyone else. He's really the one. And You know it very well. :) ♥ Nemo. Love. ♥ Thank You, Lord for giving me strength and endurance each day. :) Thank You, Lord for the short but restful sleeps. :) Thank You, Lord for every waking moment and every opportunity that You give ...

The Holy Spirit*

*Cluster 4 Household Topic Reflections from John 15:26-16:4 True friendship is strengthened in adversity. Jesus offers His disciples the best and truest of friends. Who is this promised friend? Jesus calls the Holy Spirit our Counselor and Advocate (also translated Paraclete or Helper). Counselor is a legal term for the one who will defend someone against an adversary and who guides that person during the ordeal of trial. The Holy Spirit is our Advocate and Helper who brings us safely through the challenges and adversities we must face in this life. As Jesus approaches the hour that He was to be glorified - through His death on the cross and His resurrection - He revealed more fully to His disciples the person and the role of the Holy Spirit. What does Jesus tell us about the Holy Spirit? First, the Holy Spirit is inseparably one with the Father and the Son. It is the Holy Spirit who gives life - the very life of God - and who kindles faith in hearts r...
