If you have noticed, sitcoms about friendship have the most success. Who can forget FRIENDS? The group of six unique individuals who have their own identities and shortcomings. There is also Sex and the City. A story of four empowered women who share their thoughts about New York, love, life, relationships and sex. And then there is also How I Met Your Mother. It's about five friends, two of whom are married to each other. And finally there is New Girl, about a school teacher, a model best friend and three guy friends she met online after breaking up with her boyfriend. Friends intro: Why do stories about friendship work?  It works because many can relate to it. These shows depict what real people go through. The characters portrayed make mistakes, in the same way that real people do. They make bad choices and they face the consequences of their action. They deal with real, complex problems as well.

If you have ever been cheated, then you know how much the pain hurts. But, you need to face the pain and decide whether to say goodbye and leave everything behind, or forgive and start over again. The Pain: Being cheated is probably one of the worst feelings in the world. You do not only get cheated but you are also betrayed. What is worst is that the person who does that to you is the person you care so much about. How many times have we heard about a cheating spouse? When a spouse cheats, he does not only cheat his wife, but he also disrespects the life they share and the dreams they built. On top of that, he shows that he is not concerned about the emotions of the person who he promised to love, cherish and care for, for the rest of his life. Cheating does not end with the feeling of betrayal because the wound can go deeper. Such act can affect the person in many ways. This would make it difficult for the person to trust another being again. This can also lead him to quest...

When your body is tired, your mind cannot function well. This, I have proven after a few very tiring days. Being awake for 19 hours or catching only three hours sleep is not a great feeling. I wonder how others manage with even longer hours awake. Although those days where not wasted, it does not matter. The body can only take so much. And with that experience, I can say, that lack of sleep or rest can change your personality. I have to go to school after a tiring couple of days because my students await me. Before going to school, I already notice how irritable I am. I even warned my brother to back off. It is a good thing that my students were scheduled to have their quiz. This means that I don't have to do a lot of talking. There was a conscious effort for me not to talk, because I find the slightest noise annoying. And so the night ended without major casualty. Rest, according to wikipedia.com, may refer to human relaxation or sleep. But for me, it is is something you owe t...

Many of us have dealt with heartaches. It does not matter if you are in a relationship, ended a relationship, wishing to be in a relationship or envying a relationship. A heartache is a heartache. No one can tell you not to feel the pain because the person is not worth it. Others cannot stop your heart for the simple reason that the other person is not yours to begin with. Finally, no one can dictate you how to feel simply because they have been there. If you are hurt, you are hurt and you owe it to yourself to acknowledge the pain. So what, if you cry your heart out? So what, if you are miserable? The good thing about acknowledging it and reacting to it honestly is that you will eventually realize how to deal with the pain your way. You decide when and how to move on. You will decide when and how to mend your heart and at what pace. You don't want to go on pretending that it does not bother or affect you to please others. You don't want to lie to yourself either. Eventua...

'Never mind I'll find someone like you... If you have not heard this tune before, then maybe you have been in a place so remote that even music could not reach. This is the first line off of Adele's Someone Like You Hit . It has taken the world by storm, one tissue at a time. The song evoked a lot of feelings. There is pain, letting go, holding on, envy and more. With all these feelings, there's no surprise why people are relating to it.

So what is it about this song that is so mesmerizing and hypnotic that you would want to listen to it even if you feel good? Well, I may not be a musician but I know a beautiful voice when I hear one. And Adele's voice is one you want to listen to, over and over again. Aside from that, the melody of the song is just so soothing. You don't have to understand the lyrics to liste...

Long distance relationships seldom work. So I've heard. But it can work, like it has for me (so far so good). This will all depend on who you are with, and the type of person that you are. I think it worked for us because he is a busy man. He only has time to text or call. No time for cheating. If he has the time, he would rather sleep. Plus, he is madly in love with me (that's what I want to think!). I also think that it is working because I don't go out, party and socialize. I prefer to stay home, work and be with my limited circle of friends. These, I believe, are two perfect circumstances of long distance love. Don't get me wrong. If I had it my way, I would want him to be close so we can watch movies any time. Or have dinner here or at his place, or hang out with my folks or his. But I have to work with what I have. After all, being together is something wonderful to look forward to. 1. Communication: Thanks to the information age, it is not difficult to sta...
