Three Things a Couple Should Never Fight About | Relationship Advice
relationship advice with Renzie Baluyut.
A friend and I were having coffee the other night, and she was opening up the fact that, while her relationship with her current boyfriend is generally alright, they usually end up quarreling. This usually happens when she has to go out of town, attend to some clients, or work on a photo shoot.
Now, as far as relationships go, I think I have a fairly good idea of what works and what doesn’t. While I am enjoying a very happy eight-year love affair with my girlfriend/fiancee, my current view on relationships has been shaped by a number of ex-girlfriends, numerous dates both successful and disastrous, as well as stories from other friends.
So here’s what I think: if there’s anything you, as a couple, shouldn’t be fighting about, it would have to be these three things:
1. Work,
2. Friends,

Living Solo: 10 Essential Food Items For the Bachelor Lifestyle
Living Solo Tips with Renzie Baluyut.
Cooking is great, and so is eating out and taking out. But when you live on your own, sometimes you just don’t feel like going through all the trouble to just feed yourself. Particularly so coming home after a busy day, or just staying in on a lazy weekend.
Cooking entails so much prep work, and so much to wash for just an audience of one: yourself. Eating out means having to get dressed, finding a place to eat, and usually spending more than you should. And take out makes sense pretty much when you’re ordering a lot- but sometimes a large box of pizza is just too much, even for yourself.
Which is why, as someone living solo, you should always have some convenient food items handy in your apartment:
1. Bread.
2. An assortment of sandwich meat.
3. An assortment of spreads and condiments.
4. Cereal.
5. Fruit.
6. Tuna and sardines.
7. Veggies.
8. Instant noodles.
9. Cookies and crackers.
10. Rice.
