Being in a relationship is not always easy. It takes work to keep your love growing and flourishing. So if you’ve ever been in a long distance relationship, you know that this is even truer. I’m not gonna lie—it can be really difficult to sustain a long distance relationship. It’s easier to weather the storm when you know it’s a temporary separation. But what do you do when you want to maintain your relationship from afar?

Make sure to define the terms of your relationship. Are you allowed to see other people? Is the relationship going to remain casual while you’re apart? It’s best to know these types of things before you’re separated.

Also, know that if you want to sustain this relationship in the long run, one of you is going to have to move. You might hold off of this conversation until you’re both sure that the relationship is truly going to survive the test of time (and miles).

Be thoughtful while you’re apart. Make sure you still surprise him or her with loving gestures, such as a handwritten letter or a flower delivery. Stay connected with frequent phone conversations. And, in order to actually see each other while apart, get a Skype account so you can speak face-to-face. Don’t rely too heavily on email because it’s really difficult to get tone and inflection just right.

Share the load. Take turns traveling back and forth so that one person isn’t doing all the work. And when you are together, make sure to just relax and enjoy each other’s company. You don’t have to taint your precious time together by having a ton of heavy conversations.

If you’re in a relationship that you want to keep but live thousands of miles apart, it’s important that you know it will definitely take a lot of work, but remember that love is always worth the effort!

Last week, I bought accessories at GSpot Online Shop.   I’ll be having a review about the shop anytime soon. Instead of paying for the shipping fee, we just decided to meet at Gateway Mall (2pm onward) since we are both near there.   Since I was buy last week, I told them to meet today.   Before going to our meeting place, we took pictures in our house together with the cute teddy bear. Hihi.

After our “pictorial’, we go to Gateway Mall Cubao.  1 jeepney ride then Lrt line 2.   Donna , Dianne and I met at foudcourt.  We don’t eat. We had our chit-chat and took pictures.  Another pictorial. LOL.  These two sister are really cool.  There are no “shy” moments. Thank you pretty girls! Even though it was just a short meeting, I really had fun.  Hope to see you again soon.

After the meeting with them, I called my brother and asked him what he like for “pasalubong”.  He said “Caramel Frapp – Venti.”  I knew he will answered that. Haha. I also ordered Pearl Milk Tea for me. I’m obsessed with Milk Tea now.

When I got home, there’s a parcel waiting for me. Yay! 

Cutey Bracelets

That was my favorite line of Incredible Hulk from the movie The Avengers.  I didn’t expected that boyfriend and I will watch this movie on its first day of showing. I really don’t like watching movie in cinema   on it’s first day of showing. I just don’t like being with crowded people and since it’s the first day of showing maybe the tickets are already sold out.  Boyfriend texted me during his lunch break that we will watched The Avengers at Gateway Mall. When got there 7 in the evening, we went to the ticket booth and the line was crazy long! Well, I was expecting it. We just picked the last full show – 10pm. The ticket cost 560 php ~ 290 per ticket. It’s already 3D and there is a free popcorn and drink. 

Since it just pm, we decided to make a stroll.   We wen to Clippers and I bought this cute Rillakuma cellphone bag/pouch. It only cost 99pesos. 

I also bought some candies from Candy Corner.

I also bought Pearl Mill Tea from Chatime.

By the way here is the picture of Hello Kitty items I just bought.

NEW YORK, April 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — A month ago, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) published a piece of news about purchasing eyeglasses online; a month later, this news has already been commented on by thousands of people. With the rise of purchasing eyeglasses online, more and more eyeglass wearers have begun to focus their attention on it. However, with regard to buying eyewear online, some support it while others still have doubts about it. What has turned numerous eyeglass wearers from traditional brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores to online ones? Firmoo’s slogan tells you everything: Vision and Fashion the Frugal Way.

Most eyeglasses wearers have purchased eyeglasses at traditional eyeglass stores. Nevertheless, due to the limited styles and unaffordable prices, consumers have had to regard eyeglasses as a medical tool used to correct vision instead of a fashion accessory. But now, with the emergence of online eyeglass shopping, we can get fashionable eyeglasses at reasonable prices. Among the many online eyeglass stores, Firmoo, which combines fashion and economy, is undoubtedly the most outstanding one.

As we all know, we usually have to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of glasses at brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores. Yet, you can get the same pair of glasses from online eyeglass stores at a fraction of the price. For this reason, buying glasses online is, so to speak, quite an economical way to get eyeglasses. Among the numerous online optical stores, Firmoo is the most economic one. Customers can usually get their beloved glasses at a price that is up to 90% lower than that in brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores. Furthermore, new customers can even get their first pair for FREE there. Some people may doubt the quality, safety, durability, etc. of eyeglasses purchased online, but there is no need to worry when purchasing from Firmoo. Firstly, all glasses provided by Firmoo are carefully manufactured by skilled workers and are strictly inspected by professional opticians before shipment, thus ensuring the quality and safety of glasses; secondly, Firmoo has developed a try-on tool for customers to try their beloved eyeglasses on so as to see how they look on them; thirdly, Firmoo has a customer service team that has always been committed to offering their valued customers the best service; lastly, all glasses available at Firmoo are provided by their affiliated factory, which is why they can offer eyeglasses at such a low price.

“We have dozens of affiliated eyeglasses factories which enable us to provide our customers with the most affordable eyeglasses around because there are no middlemen in between. Meanwhile, we have devoted ourselves to providing our valued customers with fashionable and aesthetic eyeglasses,” said Patrick Li, Firmoo’s CEO.

Compared with purchasing eyeglasses at brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores, purchasing eyeglasses online is not only more economical but also enables customers to select from more fashion elements. This is due to Firmoo meticulously picking several hundred classic styles from thousands of eyeglass models.

Firmoo CEO Patrick Li also added, “Our team has selected hundreds of classical and fashionable styles in order to save time for our customers when they are picking eyeglasses.”

So what do online eyeglass stores bring to us? We believe the answer is fashion and frugality.

I’ve been a member of Odesk since March 06, 2011. But I’m not that active. Hahaha. I know lot of people who really earned from Odesk jobs. Most of them are my friends/online friends. I’m just too lazy to take the Odesk readiness test and edit my profile. Haha. But last friday (April 21, 2012),  I edited my profile and took the test. And I passed! I also applied for jobs (which I can tell here what it is) and they also accepted me. 2 out of 3 jobs I applied for hired me. Yahoooo! The third one is not yet replying on my application.   I just hope he/she will reply soon. Hihi. I also finished the assigned task just for 1 day.  Well, I really need a good reputation since I am new in this kind of job. Hire me on odesk okay? I promised that I will gave my 101% to finish the job as soon as possible.
