Be a smart gambler. Play your cards well. Know when it's time to cash in, and act decisively. Hindi como sumugal ka eh siguradong talo ka. (I hope I got my Tagalog verbs correct. :D )

Yes, I believe in the words you've shared. Really know when to cash in. Sadly, most of us don't. :)

Lose your heart - there's the gamble. BUT you can still use your head while gambling. You don't bet uniformly per round -- you use your head -- so you win some, lose some. But you gotta win enough to stay in the game. Keep using your head, you get to keep playing. Use your head, leave while you're ahead... Or just let things take it's course, fold when you've lost it all :(.
The thing with truly loving another... Even when you are using your head, is -- it is hard to leave the gambling table even if you have already lost and been forced to fold. So, when you decide to or you are forced to fold: Best you don't loiter around watching anymore, waiting for a winner's balato. Go, leave.
So kawawa naman tayo when we lose our hearts? Doesn't have to be that way... Love is a gamble, sure. But smart people do not bring everything they have to the gambling table. Bakit mo naman itataya or laro lahat eh alam mo na nga sugal yan? :).

PM me the site sis. tamang tama sa buhay ko. i gambled and i think natatalo na ko. umalis si bf nung january, 20 months na kami nun.. wala syang work since maging kami.. ngayong sya na may trabaho, nagbago na sya. akala ko ako naman ang sitting pretty at magiintay ng pagaalaga kahit LDR kami. it seems na ako pa rin ang todo bigay kahit na sa dami nyang napangako, wala pa syang natupad. hindi naman lahat in terms of material things, but yung mismong paglalambing, pagsusurprise, wala na.. mainitin pa ulo nya lagi sakin. ako tagasalo ng mga masasakit na salita. i am losing hope but i am still holding on.. :(

this is soooo true. when i am in a relationship, i have a tendency to give my all--time, money, and effort. it sometimes reaches to a point where i knowingly neglect other aspects of my life like my friends, family, even my own interests. being so into the relationship makes me feel that nothing else could be better. that all of it is worth it. and i expect the same treatment from him.
today we got into a fight. i can sense changes in his lifestyle which i think do not favor me. i do not believe in "give your love and do not expect anything in return." a relationship is not a charity work. it should be give and take. i have come across this thread before and although i liked the threadstarter's message, it did not struck me the way it does right now. it made me realize that i need to find that balance in myself again that i have tried to hard to achieve even before he came into the picture. i feel that i am investing so much of myself in this relationship and with the way our fight turned out earlier, i thought i should step back a little and think about "how to play my cards well," as what aquacharly so wisely pointed out. sure, i do love him, but.. i must also love myself. :-[
