I'm always the smiling one, without any cover up, completely transparent, pretty unsophisticated and naive but can be sagacious.

Practice makes perfect. But if nobody's perfect, why practice?

Future love does not exist. Love is a present activity only. The man who does not manifest love in the present has not love.

When you love someone, you should have the capacity to bring relief and help him to suffer less. This is an art. If you don’t understand the roots of his suffering, you can’t help, just as a doctor can’t help heal your illness if she doesn’t know the cause. You need to understand the cause of your loved one’s suffering in order to help bring relief.

Photos lie. I can't see the dark spots, blemishes and scars as well as the beauty in your life.

If you pour a handful of salt into a cup of water, the water becomes undrinkable. But if you pour the salt into a river, people can continue to draw the water to cook, wash, and drink. The river is immense, and it has the capacity to receive, embrace, and transform. When our hearts are small, our understanding and compassion are limited, and we suffer. We can’t accept or tolerate others and their shortcomings, and we demand that they change. But when our hearts expand, these same things don’t make us suffer anymore. We have a lot of understanding and compassion and can embrace others. We accept others as they are, and then they have a chance to transform.

In a deep relationship, there’s no longer a boundary between you and the other person. You are her and she is you. Your suffering is her suffering. Your understanding of your own suffering helps your loved one to suffer less. Suffering and happiness are no longer individual matters. What happens to your loved one happens to you. What happens to you happens to your loved one. In true love, there’s no more separation or discrimination. His happiness is your happiness. Your suffering is his suffering. You can no longer say, “That’s your problem.

To love without knowing how to love wounds the person we love. To know how to love someone, we have to understand them. To understand, we need to listen.

Understanding is love's other name. Thich Nhat Hanh

MATAKOT KA SA MADAMOT Gloria Diaz: “And follow up answer dun sa “financial etc..”… kahit financially stable ang lalaki kelangan hindi MAMOT (aka madamot)…di ba? kelangan sini-share…kasi even if you find a financially stable… sense of humor… etsetera, etsetera…ang pinaka-importante, sabi nga nila…“wag ka matakot daw sa multo, matakot ka sa madamot”. LOL! The same goes for women. there is a fine line between being frugal and being selfish or cheap. #selfish #frugal #giver #taker #selfish Chinese culture

As women we have the choice of how we want to look and how we want to feel, and that's the beauty of being a woman. We all have the option of how we want to express ourselves through our life, hair, style or whatever we decide.
