Simula ng makilala ka, nagbago ang pananaw at saya. Pwede palang matulog na panatag at hindi mabigat ang puso. Pwede palang gumising na alam mong hindi ka niloloko at alam mong sayo lang yung taong mahal mo. Dahil alam mo sa sarili mo kung paano ka magmahal. Na yung nabibigay mo, naibabalik rin sayo ng walang effort at may kusa kasi deserve mo. Ganito pala magmahal. Ang sarap magmahal ng tamang tao. Proud sayo. Mahal ng pamilya mo. Taong marespeto at gagawin ang lahat mapasaya ka lang ng todo. Madalas kaya dumadating at umaalis yung mga taong hindi para satin para matuto tayo. Para pag dumating yung tama, mas malakas na tayo. Para mas matapang na tayo. Kaya wag ka titigil magmahal. Maloloka ka, masasaktan, madadapa pero darating yung taong aakayin ka paakyat, ipaparamdam sayo yung worth mo. At unang iiyak pag may narinig na hindi maganda tungkol sayo. At ipaglalaban at ipagtatanggol ka sa kahit na sino. Tomboy, bakla, babae man o lalaki, deserve natin mahalin ng totoo. Deserve natin mahalin ng tayo lang. deserve natin irespeto. Deserve natin sumaya. DESERVE NATIN NG KAGAYA NILA ❤️❤️❤️

“Simula nang makilala ka, nagbago ang pananaw at sa ‘yo,” she began her post.

Celis, who has since been more open about her relationship with her non-showbiz beau Stephan Estopia, shared what makes it different for her this time around.

“Pwede palang matulog na panatag at hindi mabigat ang puso. Pwede palang gumising na alam mong hindi ka niloloko at alam mong sa ‘yo lang yung taong mahal mo,” she wrote.

According to the 24-year-old actress, it feels good knowing she found the right person who makes an effort, is loved by her family, and shows how proud he is of her, among others.

“Dahil alam mo sa sarili mo kung paano ka magmahal. Na yung nabibigay mo, naibabalik rin sa ‘yo ng walang effort at may kusa kasi deserve mo. Ganito pala magmahal. Ang sarap magmahal ng tamang tao. Proud sa ‘yo. Mahal ng pamilya mo. Taong marespeto at gagawin ang lahat mapasaya ka lang ng todo,” she stated.

The former child star said her past experiences with love made her a stronger, braver person.

“Madalas kaya dumadating at umaalis yung mga taong hindi para satin para matuto tayo. Para pag dumating yung tama, mas malakas na tayo. Para mas matapang na tayo,” she shared.

Kiray also gave a piece of advice to those who lost hope in love to never stop believing that the right person will eventually come along.

You can be in a relationship for two years and feel nothing. You can be in a relationship for 2 months and feel everything. Time is not a measure of quality, of infatuation or of love.

“Kaya wag ka titigil magmahal. Maloloka ka, masasaktan, madadapa pero darating yung taong aakayin ka paakyat, ipaparamdam sa ;yo yung worth mo. At unang iiyak pag may narinig na hindi maganda tungkol sa ‘yo. At ipaglalaban at ipagtatanggol ka sa kahit na sino. Tomboy, bakla, babae man o lalaki, deserve natin mahalin ng totoo.
