			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A subscriber of our blog sent me this comment and question:</p>
<blockquote><p>Brother, Thank you for writing article that contains good advices.  I agree that we should follow the will of God because He is the founder of <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/category/society/marriage/">marriage</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;Til death do us part&#8221;. I really agree with that.</p>
<p>But friend, we are human and we are not perfect. Life is like a race and there would winners and there would be losers too.</p>
<p>My question is: If your partner in life (wife) has engaged with extra-marital affair  and you forgive her many times for the sake of the children, but still she couldn&#8217;t change. Should you leave her and marry again?</p></blockquote>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if what he told us on this email is based on his experience or is he just making a scenario just to hear our thoughts about the problem. But whatever is true, here&#8217;s my thought about it:</p>
<h2>Be Truthful</h2>
<p>My wife and I had agreed a lot of things even before we get married. And one of our agreements is that we should be truthful to each other. Being truthful doesn&#8217;t mean that we should devout our selves to each other.</p>
<p>When we say truthful, it means that we should tell each other what we feel and what we think about our relationship. If one of us felt that he or she need to stop the relationship because his or her love is already with the third party, then he or she should tell his or her partner about this for them to decide whether to continue the relationship or to break it off.</p>
<p>In our 4 and 1/2 years (Today, December 24, 2008 is our relationship&#8217;s 5th year anniversary) of engaging with <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/12/24/long-distance-relationship-4th-anniversary/">long distance relationship</a>, we followed what we had agreed.</p>
<p>When I learned that my gf accepted new suitor, I immediately talked to her and told her that it was the right time to stop our <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/12/28/the-secrets-to-successful-relationship/">relationship</a>. I told her that what she did simply told me that she&#8217;s not already contented with our relationship and that sh&#8217;e already looking for someone other then me.</p>
<p>However, she told me that she&#8217;s sorry for what she did and that she&#8217;d never do that again. So, I forgave her and went on with our relationship.</p>
<h2>Avoid the Entrance of the Third Party</h2>
<p>Usually, a relationship breaks because of the third party. I meet lots of people and talk to them about their relationship and most of them agreed with that.</p>
<p>It might be true that the husband made a lot of failures in his life but this failures actually can&#8217;t break a marriage as long as each of the couple avoided the entrance of the third party into their relationship. Once the wife or the husband allowed the entrance of the third party into their relationship, then that will be the time that their marriage will start to be ruined.</p>
<p>Please read my article, &#8220;<a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/12/29/how-to-avoid-the-entrance-of-the-third-party-into-your-relationship/">How to avoid the entrance of the third party into your relationship</a>.&#8221;</p>
<h2>The Third Party is IN Already?</h2>
<p>Now, you already missed something and the third party is in your relationship already. So, what should you do?</p>
<p>Okay. You need to talk. If your wife is responsible in letting the third party in then ask her if she&#8217;s still interested to continue your relationship. If she really wants to go with the third party then let her be. Your family will suffer the misery that will be brought into by the relationship of your wife to the third party.</p>
<p>However, you need to tell her that your family really needs her as the mother of your children and as your wife. If you&#8217;ve done things that led her to what she&#8217;s in now, then you still have the chance to change, promised her that you&#8217;ll change, and show her that you are changing.</p>
<h2>Should I Marry Again?</h2>
<p>I know that you are Christian. So instead of directly answering this question with my thoughts, I rather share you the advice of Apostle Paul:</p>
<blockquote><p>10 Now to the Married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.</p>
<p>11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife. (I Corinthians 7:10-11, New Kings James Version)</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>December 2, 2008 Maasin City &#8211; Yesterday, I was asked several questons by my wife&#8217;s friends which are related to relationship and personality. I was so very serious in answering their questions but then I realized that they found my answers funny and interesting. That&#8217;s the reason why I decided to share them to you.</p>
<h2>Maintain Your Personal Hygiene</h2>
<p>I knew few ladies who are conscious on their looks. But most of them are not conscious on their smell. </p>
<p>They asked me my idea about it.</p>
<p>So, I told them that, ladies should not only conscious of how they look at but should also be careful of their smell. I am very much observant on the smell of my former girlfriend and I found out that ladies who have bad underarm smell also have bad under leg (I don&#8217;t know what the English term for &#8220;Singit&#8221; so I just called it &#8220;under leg&#8221; similar to &#8220;under arm&#8221;) smell. And I found it always true that ladies who don&#8217;t care of their smell usually have bad vagina smell. </p>
<p>When I say &#8220;bad vagina smell&#8221; it means that the vagina has the unnatural smell which is fishy or a kind of smell that will turn our appetite down. In other words, if I will mention &#8220;good vagina smell&#8221; then it means the natural smell of vagina that naturally causes the arousal of men&#8217;s sexuality.</p>
<h2>Don&#8217;t ever show your private parts via Web Cam</h2>
<p>There were times that I spent my time surfing the internet looking for available scandalous video. And in a particular porn site, I found lots of nude video taken during the online show time.</p>
<p>The online-show-time that I mentioned is the act of showing the girls&#8217; private parts through the webcam according to the request of the girls&#8217; chatmates. The chatmates of these girls often times are their husbands, boyfriends, or online show customers.</p>
<p>Most of these girls didn&#8217;t realized that while they were showing their private parts through the web cam, their chatmates were recording the show. These girls would finally realized about it when some of their friends would tell them that they found those scandalous video in a porn websites.</p>
<p>So, the lesson here is: never show your private parts on the web cam even if the one you are chatting with is your husband. Don&#8217;t ever record your nude body, even when you and your partner is having sex. This is to avoid any scandal through those video.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Jason said something not good against <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/category/technology/seo/">SEO</a>, I learned to hate him (but I still followed him through his blog). Now with <a href="http://www.calacanis.com/2008/03/07/how-to-save-money-running-a-startup-17-really-good-tips/">his tips on how to save money</a> running the start-up, I think, I loved him already. No! I am not gay. I just love his ideas.</p>
<p>He listed lots of things but I like few of them:</p>
<ul>
<li>Buy everyone lunch four days a week and establish a no-meetings policy. Going out for food or ording in takes at least 20-60 minutes more than walking up to the buffet and eating. If you do meetings over lunch you also save that time. So, 30 minutes a day across say four days a week is two hours a week&#8230; which is 100 hours a year. You get the idea.</li>
<li> Buy cheap tables and expensive chairs. Tables are a complete rip off. We buy stainless steel restaurant tables that are $100 and $600 Areon chairs. Total cost per workstation? $700. Compare that to buying a $500-$1,500 cube/designer workstation. The chair is the only thing that matters&#8230; invest in it.</li>
<li>Go to each of your vendors every 6-9 months and ask for 10-30% off. If half of them say yes you&#8217;ll save 5-15% on fixed costs. People will give you a discount if they think they are going to lose the business.</li>
</ul>
<p>I am a direct opposite to Jason if we&#8217;re talking about start-up and business. But Jason like me is a very much wise in spending money. Jasons Calacanis is &#8220;kuripot&#8221; guy (lol).  And read his tip below:</p>
<ul>
<li> Get an expensive, automatic espresso machine at the office. Going to starbucks twice a day cost $4 each time, but more importantly it costs 20 minutes. Buy a $3-5,000 Jura industrial, get the good beans, and supply the coffee room with soy, low fat, etc. 50 people making one trip a day is 20 hours of wasted time for the company, and $150 in coffee costs for the employees. Makes no sense.</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s the wisest thing you should do. This tip simply tells us to teach your employees to save time&#8230; and earn extra income for your company by selling them coffee and other drinks.</p>
<p>And one more thing: Set-up now your Linkln and <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2008/05/20/facbookcom/">Facbook</a> account, Jason Calacanis is using these 2 sites for hunting applicants.</p>
<ul>
<li>Don&#8217;t waste money on recruiters. Get inside of linkedin and Facebook and start looking for people&#8211;it works better anyway.</li>
</ul>
<p>Here&#8217;s my write-ups against, I mean about Jason Calacanis:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/02/09/jason-calacanis-a-bull-too/">Jason Calacanis, A Bull too</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/04/25/jason-calacanis-vs-wired-on-phone-interview/">Jason Calacanis vs Wired on Phone Interview</a></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As of writing this post, my watch told me that it&#8217;s now 2:00AM (Philippine Time). I just can&#8217;t wait for the sun to rise before writing this post because I want to share you another lesson I learned from managing my blogs and websites.</p>
<p>This evening, I was editing my &#8220;<a href="http://www.narutoshippuudenfan.com/">Naruto Shippuuden Fan blog</a>&#8220;.  I removed some useless ads, edited grammatical errors in some of my posts, deactivated some useless plugins and finally edited its theme.</p>
<p>The last job that I did really gave me headache, made me nervous and probably caused my blood pressure to raise. I said probably because I didn&#8217;t bother checking the blood pressure and I took medicine immediately when I felt few of its symptoms.</p>
<p>I thought at first the problem  was on the CPANEL installed in my account. It&#8217;s because everytime I saved the edited file, what was being saved was just a blank file. The file that was affected by this is the SINGLE.PHP of <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/08/05/sel-clean-v2-wordpress-theme-naruto-shippuuden-fan-blog/">SEL-Clean theme</a> that my blog uses. Since the newly saved file was blank, so if you&#8217;ll view a particular post of my blog, you&#8217;ll found nothing but a blank page.</p>
<p>I immediately contacted <a href="http://yugatech.com/blog">Yuga</a> through his GMail account. I was glad he&#8217;s fast to response. He immediately checked my account and immediately found the problem. (<em>By the way, Yuga is the owner of the hosting company, <a href="http://ploghost.com">PlogHost</a>, that hosts my account.</em> )</p>
<p>Do you know what the problem is? Well, the problem is not the CPANEL of my account but it&#8217;s me.</p>
<p>Yes! The problem is in me. In my carelessness.</p>
<p>Yesterday, the said blog was suspended because it reached its bandwidth limit. This blog (Naruto Shippuuden Fan) is an account under my selaplana.com reseller hosting. After learning that it&#8217;s already suspended, I immediately created new hosting package. After that, I upgraded this blog using the new hosting package.</p>
<p>The blog runs smoothly again but I couldn&#8217;t edit all the files on this account, couldn&#8217;t even use my FTP client. It is actually because I entered a very small amount of Disk Space to the newly created hosting package. The Disk Space is only 1MB while the www.narutoshippuudenfan.com site contains 30MB.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the reason why every time I edit files, what will be saved is just a blank file.</p>
<p>Now, what if Yuga responded very late? Well, that also means that my Naruto Shippuuden Fan blog will be dead for a long time, thus lost few of visitors coming from the search engines.</p>
<p>I am very much thankful to Yuga for his help. I am also thankful to this incident for it reminds me of my carelessness and the effect of my carelessness to me and my properties.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This article, &#8220;<strong>Cry for Help</strong>&#8221; is written and sent to us by our feed-email subscriber, Resena Bantang, as part of our blog&#8217;s program &#8220;<a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/12/21/write-article-send-it-to-me-earn-money/">Write Article, Send It to Me, Earn Money</a>&#8220;.</em></p>
<p>Nowadays, a lot of people have several alternatives on how to overcome anxieties, depression or frustrations especially young adults, knowing that they are in the critical stage of handling those stressors. But not all the time we can manage it on our own, sometimes we need someone to turn to and verbalize what’s bugging in our hearts. It gains a lot of comfort when they listen to you in a therapeutic way, they help you learn from your mistakes and reflect from your strengths to motivate yourself in dealing with it.</p>
<p>A friend is the answer, it is true that nobody is an island, that we’re all part of extraordinary human beings, that there’s no room as perfect at both sides, we’re prone to the killer emotions called “fears” that all we need is someone who cares. We cannot control our emotions, only the master of our brain can do it which is our hypothalamus that has the power to send a signal in our hearts what to feel, when to cry and what to be afraid of.. There’s a rational element in knowing that if we are in pain all we need to do is take a break and chill up with our friends then it will runaway just like a rain. But sometimes think about the people somewhere in the streets walking barefooted, do you ever wonder how it is going to be when there are no tears left to cry for pains? There’s no voice left to shout for help? And there are no ears to listen for their sorrows? How do they survive from that? I could say that they are amazing people who live life with all the powers to block the storm as far as they could. Sensitively, we’re not so brilliant of knowing exactly what our destiny wants us to be but somehow in someway we find to realize by time that the flow of living directs us the way we wanted.</p>
<p>We ought to know that we are facing a lot of risk factors from social phenomenal influences that corrupts our mind from getting into the effect of unwanted consequences. Media is the number one cause why most people are getting worst when they tend to abuse of watching porno graphical movies especially at a young age. Parents should be aware of taking their child into the nature of safe and proper way of bringing them up. They should give their child much attention beyond their innocent eyes of being involved into the acts of adult world. X &#8211; Rated action movies and love scenes on television should take parental guidance and shouldn’t be exposed from that because it adds up a risk of raising their subconscious level by being addicted on it. Teenagers are more complicated and they are more prone to a disease like HIV or AIDS at early age and a heart disease because of the tolerance to the other vices like drinking alcohol and smoking which is the second factor to ruin everything. The third one is the wrong way of putting up defense mechanism in young adults. They torture themselves and get absurd out of it by attempting to commit a suicide which is the weakest part of every individual who fails to cope up. They have a lot of reasons why they get abused in doing it, they’ve always think that they can be save from their hopeless thoughts or anxieties.</p>
<p>In reality, we’re particular on the same situation like runaway crisis the fourth factor that instead of solving it they will just let other negative thoughts get in and suffer the effects with their kids. Some kids most particularly as early as preschooler get involve that big crisis in their family and most parents are very insensitive to their actions because they don’t realize the needs of their child. Sometimes they should learn a smart way of giving a value for their kids’ sake and they must be responsible enough to touch their innocent mind without ignoring them. They have to be there to offer all the support that the child needs whether they are in crisis or not.</p>
<p>There is a true story of Helen Keller, a child who is deaf and blind has terrible tantrums and really needs a serious and immediate attention. She is at a young age and was shouting and crying for help, her mother really wanted to help the condition of her child until she found a private teacher who has a miracle will of improving her and gives her hope to live a normal and fair life like other kids had. Thanks for Miss Ann Sullivan who teaches her the meaning of everything on earth that has value by using her initiative to learn, to feel and feed her through the help of alphabet in her hands. But the most important part in learning is to know the meaning of good and bad things which they must have to know first. Helen Keller feels the air that she breath, water that she drinks and it adds color to appreciate the beauty of life by learning to recognize the people around her with all the respect and kind attitude until she discover something and found out that “she knows”. The main key to reach the success in life is that you should be patient, determined, passionate, and dedicated. You must have a strong faith in your heart, like Miss Ann Sullivan did. She became a miracle worker and ready to give her life for Helen Keller.</p>
<p>God is the master from all the rest and he’s the only one can do the right and perfect plan for everybody because as we begin to open our eyes he’s got already finished the plan to orient us how beautiful the things he made that we could see and should not miss out before we sleep. God is like a wind that in every struggle that goes beyond our silence has always got a connection with him, whatever it takes he’s ready to send us a signal by an angel to protect and guide us.</p>
<p>God’s message is so powerful but some people didn’t recognize him yet, so I wonder that if there’s a chance of being one of an angel I would do anything to make the rest of them believe that every thunderstorm happened t them has a reason. God made it for us, so I will give all my heart for that tough responsibility. Life is beautiful and it has rhythm that if we just only realize how it affects our personal intentions, we will do be thankful for it more than we couldn’t imagine that will happen to us. People should have to learn that miracles are in our hearts and not just in our mind. The key is purely the precious faith in God that might help our mind to block the evil side of things that we couldn’t see, your second power is your will to overcome weaknesses, the last is your passion and determination as your best ticket on the road of success and journey.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I gave you already my thoughts about the comment posted at my post, &#8220;<a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/12/03/let-2007-passers-oath-taking-prc-board-exam-results/">LET 2007 Passers, Oath Taking &#8211; PRC Board Exam Results</a>,&#8221; wondering why <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/12/16/idiots-excelled-the-professional-licensure-examination/">idiots excelled during the Licensure Examination for Teachers</a>.  Now, I will share the answers to the said comment by other visitors of our blog:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.selaplana.com/?p=3156&amp;cp=1#comment-136543">Rita Babag</a> advised exam takers who failed to pass the licensure examination for teachers to take the April 2008 examination and keep the strong determination to pass. But of course they need to review their notes to refresh what they&#8217;ve learned:</p>
<blockquote><p>Well, even me I can not deny that some education graduates who took the LET exam can passed it even though they did not do their part when they are still studying. But let`us not blamed the PRC or question the machine that check the answer sheet. I know it is hard to accept if you did your part and still you did not passed the exam. My only massage for those who did not passed the LET exam last August 2007 is think positive that you pass the exam this coming 2008 and have the determination at the same time keep on reading. Thank you and God Bless You All….</p></blockquote>
<p>If you are one of those who failed to pass the exam, Matt advised you to look at your selves and reflect why is it that good grades in school can&#8217;t be the assurance to pass the licensure examination. We should realize that passing the licensure examination is just a matter of comprehension.</p>
<blockquote><p>With due respect to you miss Gina, I understand your dismay. It might be disappointing not see your name as one of the passers for LET but It is also unfair to blame everything on PRC. You know what, excellent academic grades printed on a piece of paper like TOR’s and certificates don’t give you an assurance of passing any tests. Have you tried taking an IQ test? Upon taking the test, were you able to answer it by recalling what you have memorized for the past years? How, about recalling on how did you make your project? Of course not.. That’s the bottomline my dear. It’s actually a matter of comprehension and on how wide your knowledge is on variety of aspects. Who knows those people you mention might have better comprehension and better understanding of the course. It’s just that the are lazy when it comes to academic tests. And I strong believe on that. To tell you honestly, I never got a grade more than 2.0 because mostly I get 3.0.. I even had a lot of take 2 subjects or even take 3.. I never tried passing any projects and sometimes don’t take major exams. It took me 6 years to finish my bachelor degree, But you know what? I got a very excellent grade on LET. A stunning 85%. Don’t blame others if you happen not to get what you want and stop comparing yourself with others’ capacity, it doesn’t help. Instead compare yourself with the test, on how far can you go.. That is a piece of advice for you. I hope it doesn’t offend you. Good luck to your next test.</p></blockquote>
<p>So, just like what I&#8217;ve said before, never blame anything whenever you fail to succeed. Look at your self and think what you can do to succeed by checking your weaknesses and do something to strengthen those weaknesses that you have.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your comments, suggestions and criticism really helps me.</p>
<p>Other bloggers and visitors of this blog called me &#8220;idiot&#8221; just because most of my posts have errors in grammar. I mentioned a lot of times about this before in my posts like:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/08/18/even-idiot-can-be-an-expert-be-and-expert-like-carl-ocab/">Even Idiot can be an Expert, Be an Expert Like Carl Ocab<br />
</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/06/25/even-idiots-can-blog-better-than-smart-bloggers/">Even Idiots Can Blog Better Than Smart Bloggers<br />
</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/07/29/my-writing-style-and-my-success-in-blogging/">My Writing Style and My Success in Blogging</a></li>
<li>and tons of other posts</li>
</ul>
<p>Just like what I said before, I really tried hard to write posts with correct grammar, but my knowledge in English is very limited. But at least by <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/03/06/blogging-improves-my-writing-skills/">blogging I gained a little progress</a> on the way I write articles in English, with the help of your criticism.</p>
<p>So, with this, I want to thank you for telling me all my weaknesses in writing. I really appreciate if you will tell me more about it.</p>
<p>Just recently, I received an email from G.S. which goes:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230; Kindly double check if not, triple check your usage of the English grammar before posting your blog. And your choices of words too. Since you tend to write in English all your thoughts (and experiences) in Filipino thereby translating a concept, an idea, a phrase too literally to a point.</p>
<p>Moreover, it has been increasingly annoying and to a point disgusting, your excessive lapses in the use of the English grammar. One or two lapses every now and then but not too often is very much acceptable these days. But to have noticeable grammar mistakes all over your blogs every time, just like the copy that has been posted and sent to me below, is already bordering on throwing all English grammar books out of the window.</p>
<p>In addition, your topics are great although it lacks a sort of sequence. Since you obviously post any topic that comes up to your head without really giving it a serious thought before you even start writing about it. Toward this, may I suggest that you draft a long list of topics that you wish to write (blog) about and try to organize it into a theme or at least a sequence. That way, your readers can have a feel of what your next topic will be and hopefully, interact with you or wait with much anticipation your next blog. Targeting a particular &#8220;demographics&#8221; of readers may also help you choose the topics to blog about and the manner, tone and style by which your blog is to be carried out. &#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>I posted part of the email here because there&#8217;re tons of points that you&#8217;ll learn from this like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Read, read, read your article for several times before publishing them.</li>
<li>Check your grammar and usage of words</li>
<li>If your blog has no particular niche then try to draft the long list of topics and organize them into a theme or sequence of related topics.</li>
</ul>
<p>However, I want to remind you too not to be embarrassed or offended if you are the ones who receive email like this, but be thankful. That&#8217;s how I trait it, that&#8217;s why I am still here blogging. Read my post, &#8220;<a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/10/30/be-positive-on-the-negative-things-they-throw-at-you/">Be Positive on the Negative Things They Throw at You</a>&#8220;.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was 16-year old, choosing a woman to be my life-time partner or wife based on preferences was not really on my mind. What I was thinking is that, any woman who would love me, whom I loved, and would want to become my wife, can really be my wife.</p>
<p>But now, I am a little bit strict in <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/12/24/long-distance-relationship-4th-anniversary/">choosing a woman</a>. This is because I want to build a family that can be considered as the role-model in the place where we&#8217;ll settle. And before wooing a woman, I first ask my self questions like:</p>
<p><strong>Is she a member of the Church of Christ?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, I am looking for a wife only inside the Church of Christ. There are a lot of beautiful ladies out there, but I never consider them as candidates to be my wife.</p>
<p>Now, why I am doing this? Well, it&#8217;s because religion can be the cause of the couple&#8217;s conflict with their relationship. Just imagine a couple of different religions go on their own and separate ways to attend religious activities. The wife attends Catholic Mass while the husband attends another congregation&#8217;s worship service. Now, what if they already have children; I&#8217;m sure children will be confused where to go with. Will they go with their father or with their mother?</p>
<p>Besides, it&#8217;s one of the teachings of the Holy Bible that the believers should not marry with non-believers.</p>
<p><strong>Is she an active member of the Church of Christ?</strong></p>
<p>Her membership to the Church of Christ is really important to me. However, it doesn&#8217;t mean that when a woman is already a member of the Church of Christ then she&#8217;s already qualified. I am actually considering her activeness with the Church of Christ.</p>
<p>You know, I consider those inactive as fake members of the Church of Christ. Because for me, the true members of the Church of Christ are those who follow the teachings taught to them even if no one is watching them.</p>
<p><strong>Am I her first boyfriend?</strong></p>
<p>Whether I am the 20th boyfriend that she has, it doesn&#8217;t actually matter as long as during the time that we engaged in a relationship I am alone in her life. But I will be glad and be proud of if I am her first boyfriend. However, it&#8217;s really hard to find a woman who doesn&#8217;t have boyfriend before my entrance to her life because I observed that even those who are still in the elementary grade have boyfriends already.</p>
<p><strong>Is she a virgin?</strong></p>
<p>Marrying a virgin is really what I dream of. How nice and wonderful thinking that your wife experience her first sexual intercourse with me. I&#8217;m sure her minds and heart while playing sex are focused on me. She can&#8217;t think of other guys while I am on top of her. She&#8217;ll never even compare me and how I play sex with her to the other guys.</p>
<p>But on these days that we tend to adopt the western culture, I don&#8217;t how many of the women I saw are still virgin.</p>
<p><strong>Who are her friends?</strong></p>
<p>There is a saying that says: &#8220;Birds of the same feather flock together.&#8221; And the other saying says: &#8220;Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are.&#8221;</p>
<p>I think, from the two sayings above, the reason why I am considering their friends in choosing a woman is already clear. Remember that you can&#8217;t immediately notice who really she is by just looking at her. You need to know her friends and barkadas too to finally tell who she is.</p>
<p><strong>More&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>I consider a lot of things, and I will tell you more on my next post about it.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Third party is most common cause why couples broke their relationship down and parted their ways. I talked few of the couples whose relationships were broken because of the third party and I learned few reasons why it happened.</p>
<p>I want to make it clear first that on this post we’ll be talking about the reasons why married couples parted their ways so that we’ll learn how to avoid having the third party enter your relationship. Again these reasons I learned are from the experience of married couple not of non-married couple.</p>
<h2>Personal Hygiene</h2>
<p>There are women who take good care of their body and maintain its cleanliness when they are still young and not yet married. But when they’re married and bear children they tend to neglect their personal hygiene.</p>
<p>Some husbands complain about this on the early days. But after a long time they decided to be silent about it and keep their complaint within their hearts. Now, when time came that these husbands find other women, they’re tempted to engage a relationship with them. Thus, starts the problem with the couples’ relationship.</p>
<h2>Wife’s Treatment to Her Husband or vice versa</h2>
<p>There are men or women who don’t know how to handle their anger. There are even those who felt over-jealousy to their partners which most of the times resulted to beating or harsh treatment.</p>
<h2>Don’t Enjoy Their Sexual Activities</h2>
<p>Those men who are ignorant about sex don’t know how to make their partner happy during their sexual activities. The wives of these ignorant men were tempted to play sex with someone who courted them and who know a lot of ways in making them contented with sex.</p>
<h2>Material Needs</h2>
<p>There are husbands or wives who find their relationship miserable because they don’t have and even provide for their material needs. They sometimes are tempted to engage a relationship with others who are wealthy.</p>
<h2>Feel In Love with a Friend</h2>
<p>There are also other husbands or wives who tried to keep their <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/12/28/the-secrets-to-successful-relationship/">relationship</a> up, but in the end resulted to breaking their relationship down just because of the third party. If they’ll asked them why, they’ll just told us that they just feel in love with the third party and lost love with their husbands or wives.</p>
<h2>So, how can you avoid the entrance of the third party into your relationship?</h2>
<p>The answers to this question are just the realization of the reasons we talked above.</p>
<ol>
<li>Maintain your personal hygiene, especially when both of you will play sex.</li>
<li>Treat your husband or wife the way you treat your own body. Don’t embarrass him or her in front of other people. Don’t ever hit her or him nor hurt him or her with your insulting words. Trust him or her for you to avoid over-jealousy.</li>
<li>If you are a husband who is ignorant about sex and making your wife happy with sex, then why not ask experts about this or buy and read books about sex. But if you are a wife who is already experienced in sex, then guide your husband on what to do. I’m sure he’s mature enough to learn techniques from you.</li>
<li>Be contented on what your family got and what can you afford to buy with. But you need to work hard and help each other earn money for your family.</li>
<li>Follow the <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/12/28/the-secrets-to-successful-relationship/">5 points I shared to you on my previous post</a>. And avoid making close to the opposite sex who is not your wife or husband. Impose limitations on making friends with them and avoid comparing your wife or husband to other man or woman. Learn to be contented on what your husband or wife is and learn to understand him or her.</li>
<li>But the most important thing to do is: Always perform a devotional prayer to God along with your family. Remember that God is almighty so ask Him anything for your family and I believe that God will give you what you need.</li>
</ol>
<p>Just like what I said above, these tips are just few of the ways you need to know. I will be sharing you more on my future posts. However, if you know more on how to handle relationship, you can send me your comment by replying this or posting your comment on this post.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those who knew about the real situation of our relationship think that it will only end up into nothing. Actually, we don’t have problems to each other or problems with our relationship to the future in-laws. It just happened that we are in a long distance relationship. Yes! And just like what I told you on my <a href="http://www.selaplana.com/2007/12/22/2007-blog-juice/">previous post</a>, we are already on our 4th year already.</p>
<p>I can’t say yet that we are already successful in our relationship because we are not yet married and we are still on the process of getting the success we aimed. Even those who are here married with or without children can’t be considered successful. It might be true that they already got the early stages of their success but it’s not yet the real success of their relationship because they still have the chance to break it up. Only those who died with their relationship to their husbands or wives intact are those who can be considered successful in bringing up their relationship.</p>
<p><strong>So, what are the secrets that a couple should do to attain the success of their relationship?</strong></p>
<p>If you’ll ask the experts about this, they will tell you a lot of things… a lot of advices… a lot of stories to hear. And I generalized them into five (5) points, but these five points are equivalent to one, and that is LOVE:</p>
<p><strong>Faith in God</strong></p>
<p>To let you know, before I wooed my girlfriend, I first performed my devotional prayer to God asking him the wife I need in my life. It is because I really believe that good wife is coming from God as written in the Holy Bible, Proverbs 19:14:</p>
<blockquote><p><span id="en-NIV-16940" class="sup">14</span> Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,<br />
but a prudent wife is from the LORD. (New International Version)</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, actually until now I am always doing my devotional prayer to God. This is the only thing that I can do to make sure everything will be alright.</p>
<p>And by looking at her and by considering her personality and devotion to the service of God, I can say that she’s really the answer to the prayers I did to the Father and I am firm about this. That’s the reason why I tried to keep our relationship up.</p>
<p>We are just human, isn’t it? And we are subject to temptation and faults. In others words there were times that we quarreled over something, or just felt jealous to something and someone. But every time these things happen, we immediately close our eyes and pray to God and confess what happened, then ask His forgiveness and guidance. After we did this, we felt again the strength of our relationship.</p>
<p><strong>Honesty to the agreement</strong></p>
<p>We, even if we are not yet married, have agreement on many things especially those related to our relationship. It serves us our guidelines to avoid anything that can ruin our relationship.</p>
<p>Whatever that have been agreed, we tried to be honest to it. Remember that honesty to your agreement means honesty to your partner.</p>
<p><strong>Communication</strong></p>
<p>If you are into relationship, you need to have a good communication. You need to express what you feel, what you need, and what you want so that your partner will know about them and can immediately think of ways to resolve any problems. However, expressing something should be done in a way that your partner can understand what you really want to tell him or her.</p>
<p>To let you know, I spend a lot of money for our communication. Remember that we are in a long distance relationship. I understand how important our communication is. That is why I bought her cellphones and provided her cellphones load. Everyday we send messages to each other telling each other what we feel, what are we doing and where are we going to.</p>
<p>You might think that what we did is too much, but actually is not. On this way, at least, we feel like we’re together even if we’re too far away from each other.</p>
<p><strong>Trust to each other</strong></p>
<p>Trust to each other will make you confident and feel positive towards your relationship. It is also the one that will reminds you of what to do to avoid the involvement of the third party.</p>
<p>Remember that once you don’t have trust to your partner, you also tend to be dishonest to him or her and the result is that you made the third party enter into your relationship. And you already know what will happen if there are three or more parties in just one relationship.</p>
<p>In order for you to attain trust to each other, you need to practice the first three (3) points I mentioned above: Faith in God, Honesty to the Agreement and Communication.</p>
<p><strong>Memories</strong></p>
<p>Well of course you need to create beautiful memories in your relationship. These memories will strengthen your feeling towards each other.</p>
<p>There are of course a lot of ways to create beautiful memories but I will only mention few of these things:</p>
<ol>
<li>For married couple, make your sexual activities memorable, enjoyable and fantastic. Helping each other reach orgasm is the best thing to do during sex.</li>
<li>Show your care to your partner.</li>
<li>Help her or him cope her or his own problems.</li>
<li>Give him or her memorable items.</li>
</ol>
<p>…. And some other things that can become a beautiful memories to remember.</p>
<p><strong>Some suggestions?</strong></p>
<p>Do you have more tips and suggestions in bringing up a relationship? Well, if you’re our subscribers via email, then reply this with your tips and suggestions.
