00:00 It's not just a terrarium, but they also put a flower arrangement.
00:05 This concept was conceived by Michael Rafael Luis Manes, a terrarium artist, and his fiancée, Maria Lourdes Ilas.
00:14 We thought of putting it in a glass bowl. It's like a mini ecosystem.
00:18 We have decided to include preserved plants and flowers as a substitute to traditional flower cooking.
00:26 They call it the Eternal Series because it will last for many years.
00:32 We make sure that the memories will last long.
00:36 We can put it in our office desk, in our bedroom, it's handy.
00:42 And it can also serve as a lamp at night.
00:46 It gives light that it also symbolizes true love.
00:51 Bia is 38 years old and has been single for 4 years.
00:56 So when she found out about a potential date on a dating app, she was ready to mingle.
01:01 Within 7 months, they became more than friends.
01:04 It's a daily routine for us to meet up and greet each other.
01:10 And when she has free time, before she goes home, she will take me to work and then take me home.
01:16 But when she asked where their relationship was going,
01:20 she said she wanted to work out but she wasn't ready.
01:24 So I thought, I don't want to be a burden, so I ended it there.
01:29 Like Bia, it seems like Arlene is also hoping for nothing within 8 months of being a college student.
01:36 You have a spark and you always talk.
01:40 When I confessed, I wanted to make everything clear. That's when she said she didn't want anything.
01:45 Bia and Arlene experienced what is called a "situationship"
01:50 or what you do, things that lovers do but you don't have a label or commitment.
01:56 The problem here is it's not clear.
01:58 So usually what happens is the expectations are mismatched.
02:02 Because it's impossible that we don't have expectations whatsoever with a person that we're intimate with.
02:09 So it's like not going home to hurt feelings. According to the expert, it's better to talk from the start.
02:15 The other very important time to talk is before you get intimate.
02:20 Before you cross that line.
02:24 Because sometimes we thought we could do it, it was just for fun.
02:29 And then we get intimate and then there it is. We cannot separate our feelings anymore.
02:34 A "situationship" can also be ethical if you both like it.
02:39 And for singles who want to date,
02:41 Join group activities, events, clubs, classes, join recreational classes.
02:50 Because even if you don't meet that one person, if you don't get to meet a romantic partner,
02:56 you learned something, you enjoyed it.
