ganito lang kami dito sa Saudi. ang lungkot ay kaya namin itago sa gitna ng tawanan, halakhakan at kalokohan.

Earthy Taurus is my zodiac sign. My strengths: cautious, committed, eduring, faithful, persistent, realistic, reliable, responsible, sensual, stable and tender. I show great capacity for affection as well as appreciation for beauty and art. My weaknesses: conservative, naive, overindulgent, possessive and procrastinating.

I am friendly and accommodating type of person. Listening to good music and watching TV programs, movies are my hobbies including reading books, newspapers and tabloids. I also loved to write about anything that includes blogging and poetry writing.

I like people who are committed, faithful, responsible - who keep promises, practical and not a jealous one, not materialistic and possessive and is cahracterized by endurance and sensuality. He/she must be friendly too, and should show great capacity for affection as well as appreciation for beauty and art. Age and education do not matter for as long he/she honest, simply and understanding - who cares herself/himself with strong determination and objectives.

I like people who love the nature and who care their surroundings.

My idea for a perfect first date should it happens in places where people are

coming in and go such as, inside malls, movie houses, karaoke bars and in the parks with surprises, excitements and challenges. 

We will be together with those busy shoppers, with those disturbing sounds of vehicles engine passing by on the road nearby, with those musical tones of rock en roll, jazz, and pops at karaoke bars. Then we would walk to a nearby barbecue stall and we would enjoy eating the grilled chicken, beef and the long hot dog. 

My perception of an ideal relationship should begin with give and take, trust and understanding to each other. The quarrel and misunderstanding are just normal to happen, but they should not ignored and unsettled for a day or couple of days. Instead,  they should work an extra effort to determine immediately about what caused of the conflict.

Both would calm down, accept their weaknesses, discuss the problem and forget all their differences. Both should be honest to tell him/her that  he/she is important. Let compassion and love always live in the heart - they are the vital ingredients to prosper an ideal relationship.

There are many things I learned from past relationships such as, don’t think about yourself that you’re  god, a king, a prince and a lovely princess being loved and being cared by your partner, his/her shining star, life  and love. this is a wrong perception for me that a person must consider to change.

Your partner is your beloved and he/she needs your special care, compassion and love. He/she is not your slave. This is a give and take relationship that both of you would respect.  You should accept his/her weaknesses. Give her/him your time and attention!
