extra ko lang, para sa newsletter ko hehe

hello my lovely crews!! I feel sad that i dont get to see u guys today :( well to start off, our lesson for today involves concepts of character, that each of us have of course, and what does it means to have "lack of character". Showing a good and bad character to us by other people can really affect us. It can be inspiring, if someone shows a good character. Or can be damaging, especially if that someone dont show trustworthiness, simply by lying to us. I hope this lesson can be helpful to you, see u on next lesson! Miss u :)

What do I think of relationship when i was a freshman.

During freshman year, I didnt think about being in a relationship. I got used to this belief that its okay to have a relationship but you have to study first. Seeing PDAs around made me think of it as very intimate, but without comittment. But as i grow up, I've seen good relationship that can last a long time. They have a very healthy relationship. What i learned about relationship from my friends and other people around me who went through it. When you finally decide to get into a relationship, that you don't have to be perfect ( because no could ever be) but you have to find someone who is compatible with you. Also, be ready for heartache that comes with it. You can also remain friends with them and theres nothing wrong with that. You will never know what a good friendship it can bring. :)

Healthy Relationship, what can be better than this??They believe that any relationship that you have in your teens years will affect your relationships later in life. So it's important to recognize what a healthy relationship is.These are the list of Charcateristics of a healthy relationship that I got from the internet:

Mutual respectRespect means that each person values who the other is and understands the other person's boundaries.TrustWithout trust, there's no way to have a healthy relationship. Choose to trust in each other and give each other the benefit of the doubt.HonestyIf you have ever caught your friend or dating partner in a huge lie, you know that it takes time to rebuild your trust in him or her. Always be honest. It builds trust and strengthens the relationship.CompromiseYou won't always get your way. Acknowledge different points of view and be willing to give and take. It's a bad sign when the relationship becomes a power struggle.IndividualityYou shouldn't compromise who you are, and your identity should not be based on your boyfriend or girlfriend. Continue seeing your friends or doing the things that you love. Be supportive if your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to pursue new hobbies or make new friends.Good communicationSpeak honestly and openly to avoid miscommunication. If you need to sort out your feelings first, your boyfriend or girlfriend should respect your wishes and wait until you're ready to talk.Anger controlWe all get angry, but how we express it can affect our relationships with others. Anger can be handled in healthy ways such as taking a deep breath, counting to 10, or talking it out.Problem solvingYou can learn to solve problems and identify new solutions by breaking a problem into small parts or by talking through the situation.Fighting fairEveryone will argue at some point, but those who are fair, stick to the subject, and avoid insults are more likely to come up with a possible solution. Take a short break if the discussion gets too heated.UnderstandingTake a minute to understand what others might be feeling-put yourself in their shoes. It can improve your communication skills, too.Self-confidenceHaving confidence in yourself can help your relationships with others. It shows that you are calm and comfortable enough to allow others to express their opinions without forcing your opinions on others to win an argument.Being a role modelBy modeling what respect means, you will inspire your boyfriend or girlfriend, your friends, and your family to model respect, too. Take every opportunity to give respect.

Doris MedinaA very inspirational, and important conversation made me know her even more. I see Doris as a very caring and enthusiastic person. She is an achiever by simply doing well in school and treasure every inch of the moment of her life. Although she is quite quiet when we do discussions, i know in my heart that she can be more bolder. She taught my heart that everything that you have worked for will bring u so many good things in return!

Dating do's and don'tI found this great article in the internet that talks bout dating do's and dont's for teens, and my job is to make the it simple:

Its a compressed article about Sean Covey's book called The Six Most Important Decisions You Will Ever Make: A Guide for Teens. He included 4 dos and donts:

1.) Don't date too young- yes, its right. Love can wait, and we do not have to rush things right now. Other than that, dating too soon can cause problems such as being physical early, abusive relationship, or just by not knowing how to end it.

2.) Date someone who have same age as you- just like Mr. Covey said, dating someone who's older than you is not healthy.

3.) Do meet a lot of people- dating too soon and getting seriously involve with it can cause you to be cut off in other relationship. Its no hurry time, so date a lot of people and have fun!

4.)Set bounderies- think about things such as: who is the person you are going to go out with, setting up off limits, and dont let nobody change your mind.
