Love Languages are communication styles that people use to express and receive love. They are different from each other, but they have the same purpose. Some people like to receive gifts, while others like to hear words of affirmation. Others may prefer to be touched or hugged. Want to read more about the love languages?

We both have the same love language, which is Quality Time. This is why when we are out together, I make sure I give him my 100% attention, which means...no using of phones! His is also Physical Touch, so I give him massages all the time. Full attention and affection will make him the happiest.

Acts of Service. I want to give love and show some care to my loved ones, especially to my family.ย I make little efforts like running errands with my mother, cooking a meal, completing a household chore, and helping them on a daily basis and even on special events. Small acts of kindness and service can help light up someoneโs day!
- Name one thing you did recently that made your loved ones happy.
I made an effort to organize my Momโs birthday and brought my family to a certain place that they have never been to. Seeing them happy is really priceless!

Weโve built a really strong relationship despite this pandemic. We have tested how strong our faith and love are for each other because of the challenges that came to our lives.
- Whatโs your advice for other people who are in the same situation as you?
We must keep going! All the challenges coming in our lives are not permanent, and all these will pass. With our love for each other, we can make all things possible.

My love language is Acts of Service. They always say that actions speak louder than words. Indeed it does, especially through small things.
- How do you practice self-love?
Self-love, for me, doesnโt have to be grand. It can be as small as making tea for yourself or resting between work.
- What is the one thing you do for yourself that makes you the happiest?
Taking long hot showers after a long day makes me the happiest.
- How has the pandemic affected your love language and relationship with your loved ones?
In my case, the pandemic paved the way for me to show my love language to my loved ones. And because I have worked from home ever since the pandemic hit, I can now do things I couldnโt do before when I was still going to workโ cooking food for my family, bonding with my dogs, and most especially exploring endless new hobbies.
- Whatโs your advice for other people who are in the same situation as you?
Make the most out of your time. Have conversations with your family, explore yourself, learn new things.
- How did you celebrate Valentineโs Day?
My family and I had a nice Valentineโs Day lunch at home.
