Uhmmm.. Im no Relationship counselor, but I know how to run a relationship.. Not just keep it running.. Keep it awesome! ( haha really now? lols ) We all want a perfect kind of relationship but you know for sure that perfect relationships dont exist. We all grew up with the whole fairy tale-like BS, the Prince – Princess sort of love? Anyone? but in real life, stories like that hardly exist. You see a lot of people completely happy and in love with each other , but the real situation is, they do have conflicts some times. There are just a few things though that a couple can do to make it almost perfect and keep the relationship at bay.

Its true that when you are in a relationship, you learn a lot of stuff.. and these are things Ive learned along the way. And guess what.. Im soooo in the mood to write them down, like right now… Ü

Let me start..

Dont ever make your partner feel that you are NEEDY – its a turn off. This usually happens to girls, but this could happen to a lot of guys too. A little jealousy over somethin or someone is cute, but if its causing too much conflict between you guys, or your boyfriend thinks youre an instant total freak when he mentions a name of an opposite sex.. is ofcourse . NOT healthy.. ( On top of that.. NOT sexy.. )

Wouldnt hurt to acknowledge? – is somethin I always do. And it works. Im not sayin you make “bola” with your bf/gf. Im just sayin if you have the opportunity to tell him/her how great he/she is, go say it. Its natural for humans to want to be recognized for somethin they did, they wear or whatever ( I want to recognized? I mean… like who doesnt? ). And the best person who should notice the good stuff is YOU. Like when my bf wore somethin and looks really neat on him I’d tease him, say ” Babe, you look reaally hot on that shirt “. ( Well I kinda exaggerate it .. nahh kidding! haha ) but seriously that simple phrase could go a loooong way. :)

Also my advise to ladies , this is as per my observation. Guys love girls who are strong willed and independent . Nothin beats a girl who draws attention with her charm, but you also have to understand that guys, regardless of how independent of a girl you are still wants to feel stronger over you, and that’s what they are supposed to be in the first place, to be stronger than women. ( That’s part of a man’s composition as well, some ego, be the alpha ). You can maintain that strong personality, but you dont need to outshine the guy , make him feel that he can take care of you, besides, that is all that we gals wanted right? I guess Im lucky enough, I found a guy who wants to take charge of everythin. Although there are things that I’d rather do on my own, but as long as he is there I cant really expect to do it my way , because he would want to make sure first that everythin will be alright ( well, aside from the fact that he knows I am clumsy.. so there, I guess thats pretty much one reason too lol ) But what Im tryin to say is, if the guy truly cares for you, let him do it.

Nagging is dangerous to your health and to the love of your life- well yea?like literally. Nagging makes your stress level up and thats not a good thing. But if you have a bf/gf that really sucks and you cant help but really nag to your soul’s content, well I’d say… Im sorry Hon. Give your self a break and look at the bigger picture instead of pickin on petty details ( e.g, bf/gf failed to text or call you and you went wild like Godzilla ). Whatever the situation is, whatever the reason for getting mad is, look at it as an adult and move on from there. Nagging is a serious thing and Ive seen soo many of my couple friends break apart because of this.

So there.. Ive remembered them one by one so I thought of sharing them all to you. Atleast, if you realized you have one of those mistakes , you could fix them all together and keep a great relationship last. :)

Joan’s Playlist of Long-distance Relationship Songs

Posted in Love, Sex and Dating, Personal, Rants on February 7th, 2011 by Joan Mae – 2 Comments

Hey.. Are you and your loved one so in lovee??..

And yet so apart??.. ( Yays, uhh yea.. I know.. thats uberrr frustrating .. Exactly how Im feelin right now *_* )

Hey..  ahhh I dont mean to be cheezy right now seriously, but I just thought you guys might benefit from this list, incase you and your partner’s in a long-long-distance-love-affair. Coz believe me, its really hard enduring the loneliness when your desperately missing someone and you need some nice soundtracks to back you up in times when youre kind of feelin’  emo or somethin. Like some of the songs below, Ive like  raped the repeat button coz Ive frequently played some of it.

I came up with a list of songs Ive been playin before and checked out the lyrics, thought these might be pretty perfect for lovers-in-between-the-miles. Ü

  • Meet me Halfway – Black eyed peas
(I guess this have been my bf and I's official LDR song,
I love the beat, it doesnt make you that sad 
but the thought is still there )

I spent my time just thinkin thinkin thinkin bout you
Every single day yes, i’m really missin’ missin’ you
And all those things we use to use to use to do
Hey girl, wuz up, it use to be just me and you

  • So Far Away – Carole King
( I kinda like Bamboo's rendition of this song
but classic's way much better) 

But you’re so far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn’t help to know you’re so far away

  • Faraway – Nickelback

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go

  • Islands in the Stream - Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me, to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
From one lover to another, uh huh

  • A Thousand Miles – Vanessa Carlton

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
‘Cause you know I’d walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

  • Promise me- Beverly Craven

Promise me you’ll wait for me
’cos I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon

  • Against all Odds – Mariah Carey

So take a look at me now
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
There’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So Take a look at me now
Cause there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
And that’s what I’ve got to face.

  • Need to be next to you- Leigh Nash
(just an fyi, this btw is one of my favorite songs ever) 

But I need to be next to you
Oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath of you
Oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see you smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night for the rest of my life
Here with you, near with you, oh I
I need to be next to you

Fun Facts about Men and Women ( a compilation )

Posted in Love, Sex and Dating, Personal, Rants on September 7th, 2010 by Joan Mae – 4 Comments

For those in constant dilemma on which sex  is better : Male or Female. Or for those incessantly wondrin why they couldnt understand their Boyfriends or Girlfriends, wonder no more.. Men and Women alike are weird in some way or another.

( *_* I was playin catch-up )  Read this stuff. I got em’ from different sites.. Crazy shit, got me laughin’ on the women part hahahha.

On Men :

  • Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved -
  • Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.
  • All men hate to hear “We need to talk.” No matter what the subject is, these seven words strike fear in the heart of even General Norman Schwarzkopf.
  • Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with superheroes. Women have bad self images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.
  • If a man says, “I’ll call you,” and he doesn’t, he didn’t forget… he didn’t lose your number… he didn’t die. He just didn’t want to call you.
  • Most men hate to shop. That’s why the men’s department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.
  • Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. “Get out” and “I never want to see you again” might sound like a challenge. If you really want to get rid of a man, say “I love you, I want to marry you, I want to have your children.” Sometimes they leave skid marks.

On Women :

  • Women love to shop. It is the one area of the world where they feel like they’re actually in control
  • Women especially love a bargain. The question of ‘need’ is irrelevant, so don’t bother pointing it out. Anything on sale is fair game.
  • Women need to feel like there are people worse off than they are. That’s why soap operas and Oprah Winfrey-type shows are so successful.
  • Women always go to public restrooms in groups. It gives them a chance to gossip
  • Women keep three different shampoos and two different conditioners in the shower. After a woman showers, the bathroom will smell like a tropical rain forest.
  • Women love to talk on the phone. A woman can visit her girlfriend for two weeks, and upon returning home, she will call the same friend and they will talk for three hours.
  • It’s okay for women to dance with each other and not be gay, You don’t see straight men dancing together.
