Ways to make Love to Last

Sometimes I ask myself, what does it take for love to last? It's only lately that I've realized that love doesn't thrive on words and actions alone. Sometimes, mere presence--yes, just being there for the one you love--could mean more than words can ever say. Sadly, we realize such things a little too late sometimes. 

So, how then, do we make love last? One, Be present. Be there for your loved one. Make him feel special because you chose to be with him than be somewhere else. Two, Follow up with words. Yes, while it is true that actions speak louder than words, it's nice to hear every now and then that you are being loved and treasured. Then, comes the action. Hold his/her hand. 👫 Kiss him/her. 😘 Give him/her a hug. 💑 Wink at him/her playfully. 😉

Do all that makes him or her feel extra special. 💮

But most of all, Love unconditionally. Give selflessly of yourself--no ifs and buts--expect nothing in return. 

The following poem is written for the special guy in my life. I wish you would be able to see my worth one day. I wish you could see how much you mean to me. Rest assured, there's no place else I'd want to be but right beside your arms. 

❤❤❤To You❤❤❤

I realized I love you

not when you were dressed

in your Sunday best

but instead when you wore

that old wrinkly white tee

you refuse to throw away

i realized i love you

not when you were freshly shaved

and wide awake

but instead when you hadn't

groomed yourself in days

and mumbled your words

as you rubbed sleep from your eyes

i realized i love you

not when you ate carefully

as others were around

but instead when you dropped

crumbs onto your legs and

had food stuck to your chin

i realized i love you

in those real moments

that made you

simply YOU.

HyC150 Holiday Special Tote Bag

Press release:

Filipinos are known for celebrating Christmas and New Year’s Eve lavishly, with relatives and friends coming over for the merrymaking. During these kinds of reunion, people are sure to notice who has become even more blooming and beautiful, inside and out. This holiday season, be camera-ready and face everyone with a glowing aura and a healthy body.

To achieve this, get enough rest, eat well and exercise. Aside from that, take health supplements that can aid you in achieving that youthful beauty, just in time for the holidays. Fine Japan Co. Ltd. has the perfect solution for you! HyC 150 is a supplemental drink that contains a combination of hyaluron, collagen and ubiquinol. 

Hyaluron is a gel-like substance that acts as the body’s moisturizer. It lubricates the joints and tissues so you will feel no stiffness and pain when moving. It keeps the skin hydrated, and makes the hair strong and silky at the same time.

Collagen, on the other hand, provides structure and holds the whole body together. Though the body naturally produces collagen, we lose it as we age, resulting to saggy skin. To compensate for the lack of collagen, HyC 150 can provide the much needed amount of collagen for body tissue repair.

The third ingredient that makes this drink powerful is ubiquinol. This ingredient boosts the body’s energy and protects the body from environmental toxins by strengthening the immune system. It also prevents hair loss.

But that is not all as HyC 150 is fortified with vitamin C, biotin, elastin and pearl coix. Be protected from several types of cancer with Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that aids in making the immune system strong. Elastin, a protein found in the body’s connective tissue, helps in maintaining skin springiness and elasticity, while Biotin makes hair shiny and scalp healthy. Meanwhile, pearl coix can make the skin fairer and supple.
