How to Survive Falling in Love
Without Getting Hurt*
1. Draw the line first. Know where you stand and how far you could go.
2. Never expect. It’s bad for you.
3. Never assume. It’s bad for everyone.
Yun lang.

On May 31, 1985, tragedy struck when 41 tornadoes hit Canada and the US, leaving 76 people dead. At the same time, a doomed couple in the Philippines were having the best orgasms of their lives. Nine months (280 days) later, a healthy baby boy was brought into this world by normal delivery. That was exactly a week before Microsoft had its initial public offering.
Today, Yoshke Dimen resides independently in Mandaluyong City. He got a degree in Film from an overrated university in Diliman but is now pursuing a career in Social Media.

Precise…. straight to the point… and true.
“The secret to a happy (love)life is to keep your expectations low.”
yun lang din. hehehe
I have to agree with the first point, but the other two are the hardest [to follow?].
One will always assume and expect. Those two things are unavoidable.
Besides, when you love it’s implied that you’re ready to risk getting hurt as well.
That’s BS. Hahaha!
uu nga BS
hehehe
KEN, gagu. haha.
i love it. however, almost always, even the most cautious of persons still do the expecting and assuming. human mind is designed to perceive, categorize, form reactions and generalize kasi (from the point of view of a psychologist).
so hayun, ergo, nobody falls in love unscathed (kasi nga, you fall diba?!). hehe.
i totally agree. especially at #2. the more you expect, the more you get disappointed, the more you get hurt.
My ex-girlfriend would agree on number 2. LOLOL I kid.
Have to agree with Maki. You “fall” in love, so there’s no point of not being injured. Hmmmm?
but we can minimize the pain, you see. hahaha
love never expects… it’s hope…
hope is far more deeper than expectations.
expectations destroy relationships.
hope nurtures trust
yun lang
TREW! natumbok mo! Hope. Don’t expect. hihi.
ahahaahaha.. homaygas…. anu bang nakain ko at napacomment ako d2? ahahahhahaha… well its my first tym kea im confident (Janina?!).. well, i have to agree with this shit.. ive been down everytime kc maxado akong nageexpect in return.. but it was wrong.. well thats lyf… u’ll never learn until youre nabagok.. ahahhahaa.. kita nlng kame sa next lyf.. awoo! awoo!

hehehe.
Eto lang masasabi ko:
“You did your best, but I guess your best wasn’t good enough.”
simple lang. pero tama ka.
