Relationship in Harmony

Falling in love with the right person in God's perfect  timing. Never thought a single man and a single woman are destined to be together.

The couple grew up in the same place and attended same school. However,  during their childhood days, they were unacquainted.


The mysterious way of their love story unfold when I asked, "How did you meet?"

Nowadays, social media including online dating website is the most influential medium in terms of finding a lifetime partner, searching for your better-half, or just merely expanding your circle of friends.

 Indeed,  Adam and Faye are members of the famous online dating website. I will give you a hint. If there is music,  there is harmony.  Who knows you will find it there too, the man or woman you've been waiting for so long.


In fact, I am a member also on this dating website. But I was not that active or serious in searching because I thought, it is only a scam. 

I backed out, when a certain amount appeared on the screen to subscribe and have all the benefits as a member.

First, I feel embarrassed when I join. In the sense that, I don't know which photo shall I upload to catch attention (Hahaha).  I am not confident enough to post photos of myself  in the eyes  of other people whom I don't know. I feel  intimidated looking at others  photo who are like models in Television, Billboards and Magazines.  

But  with the inspirational message from the newlywed   Adam and Faye, time can only tell where and when am I going to meet my future better-half.


To those who are still single and long waiting for their partner, patiently wait and seek guidance to the Lord.

Below is the message from the couple to all members of dating website:

"Give it a go, you have nothing to lose, don't be embarrassed as the one is out there. Online dating increases the chances of you finding them!
We did it and couldn't be happier.  If  we hadn't we wouldn't have found our soulmate!"

Relationship stands the test of time

Love is a choice. Relationship is a mutual agreement that needs two people who are willing to weather it out in all the storms to come. Your partner should be your best friend, your lover and your partner for life.
I am back to face my laptop and tap the keyboard again. As I continue my journey in Langkawi, I met Mr. David and Ms. Berta whom I am going to feature on this article.
Happily married for three years and counting.  Both individuals have their own career with hectic schedules but still manage the time to spend holiday together.
The sparkle in their eyes when I popped the question, "How many years you've been together?"
I went through  reading and searching articles related on how to maintain  good relationship in a  long-term basis. I want to share the article of  The Love Queen which she pointed out the keys to make the relationship alive.
  1.  Be happy with who you are. 
  2.  Never brush of your partner
  3. Respect your partner
  4. Trust
  5. Make time for intimacy
  6. Surprise each other
  7. Never forget to be sweet
  8. Do not try to change your partner





11 years of long term relationship

Started dating since High School


Been married for 3 years



Long term relationship will only be successful if both work together with love and full trust. A good relationship is about navigating the numerous differences between you.

Building a home


Your family is most certainly a priority in your life, and learning to better provide for them is very important.



We meet various situations every day, and some of them may not contribute to happiness. However, we can choose to keep thinking about the unhappy events, and we can choose to refuse to think about them, and instead, think about and relish the happy moments.

All of us go through various situations and circumstances, but we do not have to let them influence our reactions and feelings.


If we let outer events influence our moods, we become their slaves. We lose our freedom. We let our happiness be determined by outer forces. On the other hand, we can free ourselves from outer influences. We can choose to be happy, and we can do a lot to add happiness to our lives.
Life has ups and downs. 



There are frustrations, embarrassment, grievances, and grudges. On the contrary, when positive vibes envelope us, there is satisfaction, joy, contentment  and peace of mind.











Smile in your heart


Relationship builds friendship for two hearts and souls with one goal.

A sharing with couple from Japan spending their holiday trip in Langkawi. It was a bright sunny day when I met Ms. Yoko and Mr. Takahiro. We had a short talk  that last for half an hour. The meeting of two different nationalities (I'm Filipino) considered to be a lifetime friendship.


Mingling with other people  with mutual trust, understanding and acceptance no matter who you are, what races or nationalities he/she may be is a genuine interaction.
Friendship is intangible gift. It is a two-way process of giving and receiving. As Ms. Yoko and Mr. Takahiro continue to their journey, I wish them both success, lifetime happiness and love being together.

You're Still the One

Nowadays few couples have lived a married life successful. The happily ever after story is no longer exists with today's generation. As the percentage of Divorce  and Annulment cases are increasing.

But I will consider the couple I met in Bali, who married at a very young age. They were blessed with two lovely grown-up daughters.
Despite of being married for 31 years,  the love, trust, sweetness and affection still present in their relationship.  

You're still the one, after 31 years
