I've been in and out of it quite a number of times. I've seen people who flew and flopped falling in love. I've watched too many tear-jerkers on tv. Here are my love lessons from all of them.

When you feel like going into an illicit affair, don't. If you walk on an anthill, ants will bite you.

If you fall in love, leave some love for yourself.

If you fall in love, expect the fall but rise afterwards.

All the time, when we're in a relationship, we always see 'the one for us' -- THAT RIGHT ONE. Don't be fooled. Take it from Vilma Santos, Junjun. When you're in love, your heart will always play tricks on you. Whoever you're with now is the right one.

Be faithful. Be loyal. It's difficult but it normally pays off.

Lust is not love. Always, lust leaves you with a bitter aftertaste. Love is sweeter.

When you're hot and horny, take a bath. Sud. And then take a bath again. Rinse well.

Don't mess with someone else's love affair. Don't let others mess with yours. Unless it's the legal authorities.

Wash well everyday. Change your underwear everyday. You won't know where you'll end up tonight.

Take time to be sweet. But not much.

Lover's quarrel is part of a good relationship. Treat it like adding a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to your food. Too much is never good.

When you're angry, be still. Some good relationships are ruined because we say words we didn't mean.

Give. Learn to give. When a relationship ends, it's the giver who feels stronger.

When you're in a relationship, don't do things separately. Do it together. Eat together, sleep together, walk together.
