I feel you Lindsy. You're right. As much as we do our best to hold on to the relationship in hopes that it would last, sometimes holding on is just worse than letting go.
Hello Vier Self awaeeness in examining ones own motives with regard to relationships and high self esteem is indeed the way to have a well balanced and no drama relationship.. I'd avoid drama as much as I could.
Hello PK. I wish I could be as spontaneous as you. However, I am different in my way of thinking. Whenever I am in a relationship, I really give my best to keep and nurture the relationship I have. I dont plan on how long its supposed to go on because my goal is to make it last. Unfortunately, it's not going to be the case in all relationships. The least is to learn from the lost ones I guess.
Thank you Chatillion. This blog though isn't about what my ex gave or didnt give. I've forgiven him and move on from the heartbreak. I'm just thankful now for all the things I learned from our 4 years of relationship.
Hi! I have accompanied my friend to the Philippine Embassy here in Riyadh and all she ever had to bring was a payment of around 65-70 usd (depending on the currency exchange at the moment) and her old passport and a pen. She filled out some papers, paid at the cashier, had her photo taken, and went to get the paper for claiming of the passport at a later time. It took us less than 30 minutes.
I wonder why you had to go thru such gruesome processes and channels.
Hi Unfayzed Yup that is true. As my ex told me I could be mean sometimes, I guess its alright for us to show our deeper emotions. But really, there's a kinder way of showing it. Hope to be able to remind myself of that always.
Hi Seaworthy This "Life is kind of like the food you eat, if it tastes real good and you can't get enough then it's probably not healthy for you.." is really good since I'm trying to watch my diet.. thank you!
Hello Lindsy Indeed we have our moments when we can't put our emotions and reactions in check. I bothers me too, and i forgive myself. And like you, I try harder the next time.
Hi again Witchy, thank you I know that I matter, however, if I chose 1 it would have ended in disaster. Option 3 is a way of imposing number 1 but in a calm and more reasonable manner. I guess, it should be like that towards everyone..
Hello wichy! Actually, the e conflict was more personal. But because we work together as a team, our fight or estrangement will affect our job. If i can solve it without thinking too deep, i do not know how. I'm hopelessly an overthinker..
At work, one doctor told me, "smoking is life!" and he smiled with his teeth so drenched in tartar. Like erm, please go see a dentist. Talk about a total turn off! So no! Smoking has no benefit at all.
Hello wenever Thanks! Yes, I'm sure my parents have the best intention and I realized not too long ago actually that it is more important to them that I am happy than me doing what they want.
And this "if you have to worry and wonder if something is right or wrong it's usually wrong.." i will try to remember during those times that I am in confusion.
Hello Virgo You are right, i know good things take time.. However, sometimes, if you know things are going good, you'd want it to happen right away... But thank you.. I will do my best...
Thank you Molly! Hi! Yes, i agree that's a better way to live life. To be less stressed and less worried and enjoying the here and now. But of course not being totally dumb with decisions. I hope.
Hi Dee I guess having no options is easier, yet it's going to be hard as well. I'm just gonna take things slow, as i usually do, so I don't miss anything out along the way. Thanks!
Thanks Mimi. I agree that I did the right thing. It's just a little sad because I really thought we had something good going on. But since he won't, I can't go on just wishing that he will someday. Thanks
Hi Mimi Yes, I agree, life is good and its meant to be enjoyed. However, this part of me makes me less fun than I wanted to be. I get jealous of people who can just ignore their doubts and go for it and trully enjoy the moment. But since Ive recognized it, ill be bettef at it..
Being in the same world, I can relate to this. On my first 2 years here, I was so disappointed and disillusioned that everyday that passed by took forever to end. I put my life on a standstill too, only dreaming og when I finally get to go home and resume my life. But really, its up to us to make the best of what's there.
Now Im back, ive decided to accept my circumstance and make the most of everything, I am less stressed, more tolerant, and just more happy with my life in this part of the world.
Hi Johnny. Ive done this with my ex. I went on with the relationship for too long thinking that he might improve. And he tried his best, however in the end, people just dont change.
Hi Sea.. Yes. Ive always wanted a marriage like that of my parents. I've hoped for my relationship with my then bf to be the same. But it wasn't. And now, I'm determined not to settle for less..

Hi SA4UYes indeed, Livin la vida loca! I'll do my best.
