Ahhh! it's a lengthy blog that makes sense...First, I thank God, I do not belong to a culture where I need to be "pre-arranged" to live the rest of my life with someone. Secondly, even if that is the case, I'll probably break the rule. Third, yeah, movie stars get involved with each other when they've the same projects and say buhbye when the movies flop......But honestly, I will "listen" to my family as to who and what qualities of a man I should be with, and really pay attention to details...but, in the end, I will "decide" if that person, indeed, is someone I deserve to love and cherish..Hayz!

Janey,

so true in the showbiz world. Pairing one after the other to make money. Like a contract to the stars.

Elz,

Enjoy and have a great time!!!

Greatest feelings in the world when two souls profess a love for each other...

I'm on my own when I decide on personal matters especially when it comes to my love life. Magandang araw, Janey.

Janey,

...and the answer is NO. It's my heart, my life, therefore I'll choose who to love and to live with. If it didn't turn out right, I only have myself to blame. So far, I haven't come to that point yet - blaming and regretting. For everything of my past mistakes, there's also part learning and growing, which makes me a 'wise' woman in my own standard.

Happy weekend sis

Thanks very much Ate Elz. eheheh what others would think is lengthy. I find it short reading. I'm used to reading broadsheet papers and novels. reading.

heheheh Not sure how I'd be to live in a culture where my partner and path in life is chosen for me. Maybe I'd crack up from the lack of freedom. But then again I'm used to being a free spirit. It might be different if I was brought up more restricted. Who knows?

hehehe I do take in consideration what other people share whether it's positive or negative and more likely to listen to, be convinced and influenced by someone who frequently gives a sound advice and is a good judge of character.

But as you said, it's us who ultimately have to live with the result and consequences, so we might as well have a say in the matter. Hence, why I quit my first long-term relationship. Couldn't take it any more.

heheeh it happened to me previously. Wouldn't listen to them again for certain matters. I pay attention to the little details now from the supposedly insignificant details such as the way the man treats others, the manner he drives etc.

Those stars can do whatever money can buy.

Have a lovely weekend to you all!

Dunno about KStew and RPatz relationship if they're meant to be.

But at least the writer intended their characters to be together.

Which team do you root for Tinks or is it a silly question??

Magandang gabi Ace. Hope you aren't completely alone in the matter. There's always someone out there willing to lend a hand and listen sensitively.

True sis Theta. Admirable trait to read.

....'For everything of my past mistakes, there's also part learning and growing, which makes me a 'wise' woman in my own standard.'

Better to blame ourselves than pass on the blame to someone else.

I've felt regret before, but I'm coming to terms with life in different ways such as becoming more tolerant.

Very cool sis. You and your family are certainly jewels. It's wonderful that you share the same taste and values.

Thankfully, my parents mainly just want me to be happy, successful and mom wants a grandchild. If they had anything in particular that they'd choose, they'd like the guy to be financially stable and better still, wealthy. I've the former, but not the latter.

Since 13 year old, I got my freedom already. I married my ex. w/o my siblings or family`s approval, I only invited them for wedding party not common in Filipino culture I know...But I do respect those bound to culture arrangements, just pity as the basis mostly is not love

Really sis Grace? Wow, you're very privileged to have such freedom and open minded family.

Brave woman to respect the convention of marriage and go beyond the convention. Kudos sis.

Arrangements aren't what they always appear. Some work and most don't. Guess like any other marriage.
