Everybody wants to find their soulmate and live happily ever after. However, some problems may appear already during the first weeks or months of their relationships. Why does it happen and what should the partners do in order to build a healthy relationship? Consider the following tips prepared by the dating experts from uabrides.com to avoid possible relationship mistakes.

Basic Tips

If nothing goes right from the start, have a closer look at your partner. Perhaps, you are not compatible because you have different temperaments, upbringing, characters, etc. Or, maybe, there is simply no connection between you? Don’t be obsessed with a particular person: if you realize that you are not meant to be, there is no point in dating only to escape loneliness.

As a relationship develops, partners gradually get used to each other and start taking many things for granted. It’s very important to notice and appreciate even small details.

It’s essential to trust your partner. It’s easier said than done but you need to confide in each other. Remember that jealousy and suspicions ruin love. Both partners want to know that they play a special part in each other’s life.

Understanding and patience are also the pillars of any long-lasting relationship. Nobody is perfect so you should be ready to accept your sweethearts as they are. If you can’t stand people who are always late and your date happens to be one of them, you have two options: you should either start looking for another partner or turn a blind eye to his or her bad time management skills.

The Philippine Marketing Association (PMA) will kick off the start of the summer season with the 3rd PMA Summer Expo in Makati! This year’s Summer Expo is a one-stop destination for products, ideas and things to do under the hot, hot sun.

Last year, the PMA Summer Expo featured thirty-nine (39) brands from the food, technology, health and wellness industries in a showcase of products and ideas that can be done during the summer season – this year, more than 40 brands from those industries will be showcasing their latest products and deals for everyone to see, taste, and experience.

There are a lot of activities in store at the Summer Expo – first up is the Summer Dance Craze competition, where more than 30 groups will show their best moves on stage. This year’s Summer Dance Craze takes up the first two days of the Expo (Tuesday, March 29 and Wednesday, March 30), and is by far the biggest competition the Summer Expo had.

Third day of the Expo (Thursday, March 31) will be filled with discussions on how to make the best out of the season as various people and businesses will share their knowledge and ideas to the audience, including travel blogger Apple Allison of Sole Searching Soul and lifestyle blogger Earth Rullan of Earthling Gorgeous.

The Pretentious Leaders of the Philippines

With the concluded 2nd round of the Presidential Debate we know as PiliPinas Debates, it was very obvious who emerged as the candidate that is believable. The leads were convincingly visible, composed with style; and sensible. All had their moment to shine but all also failed to answer with enough substance about the issues. Fact checks revealed erroneous statements from the presidential candidates indicating they are not fully aware of the law and their previous acts. 

Rodrigo Duterte's questioning on what Grace Poe would do when China attacks the Philippines was the only time during the debate brought attention to Grace Poe's lack of experience. If you will only consider the debates, she might be the best example of what a pretentious leader really is. Her excellence as a speaker that always came well-prepared for the debates was not enough to save her apparent ignorance of a concrete action plan.

The hour and a half long delay caused by Jejomar Binay's camp is actually something to be worried about. It should not be taken lightly as it reflects how Jejomar Binay would rule the country. He would be someone who would try to insist his own needs even when there's a law that needs to be followed. Regardless of the mistake of TV5 network's Luchi Cruz-Valdez, he should have not insisted on having his "notes," rather his documents, with him during the actual debate.

Though everyone got their fair share of accusations and name-calling as they were allowed to react to the answers of their fellow candidates, the debate felt more like a slug fest starting with Grace Poe and Jejomar Binay arguing about how Grace Poe was shameful of her citizenship while she swore to become an American citizen. Rodrigo Duterte had to literally set himself back to let the two quarrel it out between themselves. Grace Poe came back with a vengeance citing it was better to have a dual citizenship rather than becoming a corrupt politician who steals from the Filipino people. Jejomar Binay kept hiding behind the absence of a conviction by the court. The Vice President has not even faced the Senate hearings and has continued to accuse parties behind his so-called character assassination plots.
