about that Yspeak episode

yeah, yeah i know this is almost a week delayed but hey, better late than never, yes? ;p

Yspeak had "love and relationship" as topic for their first year anniversary. ryan and bianca weren't the hosts, but rather the panelists that day. it was definitely a good watch, 'coz now i'm gonna hear a lot of sense from ryan and bianca.

funny as it seems, i took down notes on some points they made. (actually, jenny told me to kasi di sya nakapanood. hehe). some of the points are as follows:

1. a relationship shouldn't be based on NEED.
- correct. one should be a complete person before entering a relationship. you don't (and shouldn't) enter a relationship because you're needy. in relationships, what matters is what you give, not what you can get from it. makes me think about that "finding a person who will complete you" thing. it sounds like crap now.

2. if something good is happening, value it.
- correct. good things are gifts from God. sometimes we are too often precautious and afraid that "one good thing today" would mean "one bad thing tomorrow". often times we tend to over-analyze, or on the opposite end - take it for granted. i would sound like a happy-go-lucky bastard, but enjoying things as they come and not worrying too much about it is one way of being happy. it also scares away bad dreams. hehe.

3. expectations are the worst accessories in a relationship.
- correct. i sometimes wonder if one has the right to expect anything from someone close to him/her. perhaps people do have that right, but it doesn't mean they have to use that right to expect anything from anyone. when the expectation isn't met, it would only lead to disappointment, and could potentially damage whatever it is you have. expecting less would make one happier.

4. there are noe accidents in God's plan.
- correct. though its really hard to trust that God has great plans for you, still you have to believe that there are reasons for everything. God wants the best for all of us, and our plans couldn't be any grander than wha He has in store for us. you just have to have faith...

5. pressure will only lead to undesirable results.
- except maybe in the formation of diamonds. hehe. being single isn't a sin nor a crime. its alright. love finds you, not the other way around. you just have to wait for it to hit you, and while you wait, enjoy the time of waiting.

there. i would post my ym conversation with jenny, but i figured i'd do that some other time...
