Treat Every Relationship As If It’s The Last One

From the very beginning, girl’s family objected strongly on her
dating this guy, saying that it has got to do with family
background, & that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she
were to be with him.

Due to family’s pressure, the couple quarreled very often. Though
the girl loved the guy deeply, she always asked him: “How deep is your
love for me?” As the guy is not good with his words, this often caused
the girl to be very upset. With that & the family’s pressure, the girl
often vents her anger on him. As for him, he only endured it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to
further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl:

“I’m not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you.
If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As
for your family, I’ll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry
me?” The girl agreed, & with the guy’s determination, the family finally
gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he left, they
got engaged. The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy
was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through
emails & phone calls. Though it was hard, but both never thought of giving up.

One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked
down by a car that lost control. when she woke up, she saw her parents
beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her
mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all
that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. she had lost her voice….

The doctor says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose
her voice. Listening to her parents’ comfort, but with nothing
coming out from her, she broke down. During the stay in hospital, besides
silence cry,..it’s still just silence cry that accompanied her.

Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the
ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart every-time it rang.

She does not wish to let the guy know & not wanting to be a burden to
him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any
longer.

With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent
millions & millions of reply, countless of phone calls,. . all the
girl could do, besides crying, is still crying…. The parents decided
to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy.

With a new environment, the girl learns sign language & started a
new life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One
day, her friend came & told her that he’s back. She asked her friend not
to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn’t anymore news of him.

A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing a
invitation card for the guy’s wedding. The girl was shattered. When
she open the letter, she saw her name in it instead. When she was
about to ask her friend what’s going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her.

He used sign language to tell her “I’ve spent a year to learn sign
language. Just to let you know that I’ve not forgotten our promise.
Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You.” With that, he
slipped the ring back into her finger. The girl finally smiled.

Treat every relationship as if it’s the last one, then you’ll know
how to Give. Treat every moment as is it’s the last day, then you’ll
know how to treasure.

Treasure what you have right now, or else you will
regret one day…

Relationship Drivers:10 ways to make HER brag about YOU.

No.10 Lunch

If she’s the type to brown bag it, this won’t be as effective. But if her go-to lunch is the deli buffet, a fancy meal delivered from a five-star restaurant will make her day. Peruse Yelp or MenuPages to see what restaurants are near her office. You can also check out Seamless to place an order online and have it delivered to her office with ease.

No.9 A Book

If she spends a lot of time commuting on public transport, a book she’s been dying to read will make her trip much easier. Take a peek at her Amazon wish list or see what’s already on her bookshelf to get a clue of what she may like. The New York Times best-seller list is always a good bet too. With an Amazon Prime account, you can have a book ordered and sent to her office in two days flat.


No.8 Cupcakes

Cupcakes are cute, sweet and the ideal afternoon treat. When she hits that 3 o’clock slump, a cupcake will hit the spot. You can look for bakeries near you and have them deliver or for a company that delivers nationwide (check out Edibles Incredibles).

No.7 A Coupon For A Surprise Getaway

Everyone likes to escape for the weekend and it’s even better when it’s a surprise. Research local getaways by browsing your city newspaper’s travel section. If you're still stumped, check out Tablet Hotels or New York Magazine's "Weekend Escapes" section for ideas. Go old-school and create the coupon yourself with construction paper. Tuck it in an envelope and have it delivered to her office.

No.6 Flowers

When in doubt, send her flowers. Flowers always signify love and romance and they can spruce up the dullest of cubicles. Plus they’re a constant reminder of how you feel about her. Just make sure you choose something appropriate and not a funeral arrangement. H.Bloom is a new service that is rolling out flower delivery services across the country from New York to L.A. to DC. But if you don’t live near a major city, don’t fret, there’s always FTD. They have a range of collections including ones created by fashion designer Vera Wang.


No.5 Chocolates

It’s pretty hard not to like chocolate -- it’s like hating puppies or sunshine. Sending chocolate is almost a no-brainer. But don’t settle for something boring and common. Let her know you really put some effort into her gift with a high-end brand like Vosges. With flavors like Woolloomooloo (Australian macadamia nuts and coconut) and Funk + Disco (banana pudding and vanilla powder), her mouth will be in heaven once she takes a bite


No.4 Wine For EOD

If her job is like most other people’s, she’ll enjoy taking the edge off with a little vino at the end of the day. A nice bottle will give her something to look forward to when she gets home and kicks off her heels. Check out Gold Medal Wine Club for individual bottles and gift sets. But if you really want to surprise her, show up at her office with a basket full of fruit, crackers and cheese to go with the wine. Take her to a local park and enjoy a nice picnic.


No.3 Magazine Subscription

Send her a print or digital subscription to her favorite trashy magazine. On breaks or during lunch, an easy to read mag can offer a welcome mental reprise from work.Unless of course being brainy is her way of blowing off steam. Zinio offers digital subscriptions on a host of magazines while Magazines.com offers the print versions


No.2 A Personal Coffee Maker

Java lovers will go crazy over their very own personal coffee maker. Not only will she no longer have to drag herself to Starbucks, she can now brew a cup of Joe whenever her heart desires. Keurig makes mini coffee makers utilizing disposable coffee cups that are perfect for the office. Throw in some coffee to go with and you have the perfect gift for a java junkie.


No.1 Fancy Stationary

Writing on plain stationary is boring. Penning (or printing) a note on fancy monogrammed stationary is infinitely more fun and aesthetically appealing. Nice stationary will put a little pep in her business correspondence. Order something beautiful and tasteful from the Paper Source. For something more unique try a mom-and-pop letterpress like Pepper Press.
