GT: Love Life Resolutions
Quick note: Hi dearies! I know I’m a few hours late in posting GT. Blame it on my recent sickness. I was still woozy yesterday when I scheduled this article for posting so instead of January 13, I scheduled it for the 14th instead. Sheesh. Well, anyways, I woke up to find that no one has submitted their entries yet, only to discover that it was all my fault. Yikes! There’s a resolution. Never get sick on the days before GT or you’ll end up scheduling it on the wrong date! Haha!
Hello everyone! It’s a Thursday again and you know what that means: another episode of Girls Talk! This week around it’s all about what we resolve to do to make our relationships better/stronger this year. I understand that some girls here are still blissfully single, but you can still join. Just post about what you intend to do should you find the love of your life this year. So. Let’s get straight to talking about that thing called lurve.
Last year has been pretty easy for both Paulie and I. We didn’t have a lot of huge fights, thankfully, and I think it must be that we’re getting more used to each other’s habits by now. We celebrated our five years last August, so we’re running on sixty five months of being together to date. The first two years was rocky, to say at the least, but it’s safe to say now that we’re pretty stabilized. So what are my 2011 New Year’s resolutions for this aspect of my life?
I will try to be more understanding of his needs to be alone sometime. I think guys need that break away from family once in a while more than women do, even if it’s just right outside the house, playing the guitar or taking a smoke (in Paulie’s case. I hope his resolution this year is to try to quit that habit. *sigh*). I rarely (if ever) feel that need for a break (maternal instincts?) so sometimes I feel so frustrated that he wants (in my mind) a lot of “me time” which means he doesn’t want to spend it with us. I know that’s selfish, and that’s one thing I’ll strive my best to adjust to better this year.
Two: more talking. Last year I felt like I have been awfully busy with work that talking hours for us have been lessened. Our relationship, even from the start, has been based on a lot of talking. I missed that. I resolve this year that I will take more time off work to not watch TV, but just talk. Come to think of it, we actually started doing that last night. We went to bed early because I was still faint and talked for a couple of hours while lying down, about our future, what we want to do this year for ourselves, and what our plans for are in the next few months. So definitely more talking time.
That’s all I can think of right now. I guess I’ll just have to make more resolutions along the way. Relationships are never simple things to deal with, aren’t they? Much more complicated than coding, methinks. LOL. But nevertheless, we take our chances in it because once you make it work, the mutual feeling you share with your special someone is worth all the pain and difficulties you experienced (and will experience) on your journey. Join in the GT fun! How? It’s simple! Just make a post, link up to the EXACT URL of your post and hop to other girls’ blog to see what other girls have to say on the week’s topic! That’s how you play Girls Talk!
This linky list is now closed.
Hi there! I guess you’re right…taking chance in love is worth all the pain and difficulties

kelan nga kya mauubos ang gumagawa ng yosi hanu para mwala na ang msamang bisyo na yan. nkkawindang!
best thing in our relationship is our “us time”, un bang kwentuhang walang wenta na ilang oras na pala ang lumipas e tipong bitin pa.
best regards.
naku malaki ata ang kita ng mga cigarette companies kaya malabong mawala yang mga yan. hihi.

Just like mine more understanding and patience hehehe. I’ll be back tomorrow for my comments to the other members. Happy GT to you!
I can definitely relate. We’re on our 2nd year of being husband/wife and there’s still a lot of adjusting to do. It’s tough at times but love, love is really what keeps us together.
I love your resolution #2! I call that talk time, “US time”… I love having those times with my husband too. ?
So, I’ll see you next week…

Happy New Year!!!
agree sis, men need that “me” time more often than we do. and yes, to have more time talking is a must. mas maganda kung makakapagdate kayo ulit ng kayong dalawa lang. iyan ang love life resolution namin…to go out once in a while, just the 2 of us.
happy GT!
naku sana nga rossel, we can do that this year. to bring back the sweetness. hehe
ang gandang quote naman nito “Relationships are never simple things to deal with, aren’t they? But nevertheless, we take our chances in it because once you make it work, the mutual feeling you share with your special someone is worth all the pain and difficulties you experienced (and will experience) on your journey.”
I also love the talking time resolution… we need that too… Parang mabibilang sa kamay kung ilan lang ang serious talks namin. I miss that… Thanks for the reminder… =)
talking is good, especially if it’s with your hubby. after all, ever after na ang relationship nyo and parang ampanget naman if you hardly know each other. talking creates that bond, makes you closer
hmmm… we didn’t have any problem regarding ‘talking’ because I talk a lot, lol!but seriously, maybe that’s what made us strong after all, we talk about everything..
that’s great to know kim!
