The Official I Am Strong-
I Keep Love Real Website
On the week of February 8, 2010 my Theo 131 groupmates and I had a mission. It was to give out as many “chastity bands” as possible and get as many “commitments” in our website as we could. My group was assigned to promote awareness about the Catholic Church’s stand on pre-marital sex and artificial birth control and WHY this was the Church’s stand.
To do this we set up a promo board in school with our website’s name and link. Then we placed standees on the tables in the cafeteria, again with a link to our website. However the real work was just about to begin.
Armed with a bag full of homemade chastity bands, my 5 group mates and I set off into the campus and started approaching people. “Hi would you like to be chaste?”, “It’s Pro-Life month! Want a wristband?”, “Don’t chase, be chaste! Free chastity bands!” were some of the more common statements one would hear from us. We spent most of our free time in school handing out wristbands and encouraging people to visit our website.
At home we would make our status messages on YM the link to our website. On facebook we posted the same link on all our friends’ walls. We even sent out group messages to our yahoo groups inviting people to visit our website.
By the end of the week we had given out all of the chastity wristbands that we made and in turn received a considerable number of replies from our commitment page in our website. No one refused a chastity band but some persons sent us negative remarks from our website. However it was very heartwarming to discover that the positive comments far outnumbered the negative ones. Also a lot of people sent in their commitments to stay chaste until marriage and to not use artificial birth control methods.
When we were first assigned this project my group and I thought it would be an impossible task or at the very least a really big hassle. How were we supposed to tell our peers not to have sex until they were married? Well the project turned out to be a success and the response we got was overwhelmingly positive. On top of that my group and I really had a lot of fun setting up a website and making chastity bands and posters. At the end of the day I would say mission accomplished. Don’t you think?

Tagpuan by Abby Asistio
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Tagpuan is a song about waiting for God's perfect timing when it comes to finding true love. I wrote it as a love letter to my future boyfriend, and hopefully husband, knowing that it's just a matter of time before he actually comes into my life. In the song, I tell him that I'm certain that while I am patiently waiting and praying to God for him, I know that he is also doing the same thing while he is searching for me. I assure him that I am being faithful to him and am loving him even while I'm single by living in purity and having a vision of how I would want our future love life to be.
Also, this song serves as a reminder for singles like myself that it is possible to have peace and joy in one's heart even while we're alone. Because though the waiting could take awhile, and though it could get really hard sometimes, once we're finally with God's best, all the waiting would be worth it.
"Naghihintay, naniniwala, Ang puso ay maligaya at payapa, Panatag and loob kahit ngayo'y nag-iisa Pagdating ng araw, kapiling na kita..."
Here's the lyrics. Hope you enjoy :)

I've always thought women to be the stronger sex. Of course, this did not arise from any provocation that men were in fact the ones stronger, but a belief I've held ever since. We go through so much in life, from the awkward changes in puberty, to being hypersensitive about the world around us as we grow older. There's just so much to deal with, that our minds remain imprinted with vivid memories of what was, and an endless introspection of what is yet to happen.
To be born in today's world is to be anything you want to be, because you are granted the liberty of the times. And yet, a reason for the misery women feel at the hands of men..is their very selves. They allow for the pain to come, if only to receive a fraction of the affection they so crave for so much from the people they love.
In interviewing Mrs. Lora Tan-Garcia, author of the inspirational book "I Keep Love Real", she imparts insights as to what girls really want from relationships: to love and be loved. Pleasure is not derived from a night's satisfaction of love-making, but the feeling of acceptance and security from the person you share your self, your world, to. The heart of this relationship is built on a different kind of experience altogether, one that surpasses physical intimacy.
Jason Evert, a Catholic public speaker who annually speaks to students in the US about keeping chaste, has this to say about girls today:“Sometimes, girls are so busy trying to turn a guy’s head that they forget they have the ability to turn a guy’s heart.”
We compromise ourselves, giving up our best years to receive half-baked effort from the other end of the line. We make ourselves so available that we allow them to treat us less than what is expected. Despite our efforts, we arouse only desire, and not evoke feelings of real love.
As the line goes, what makes you different makes you beautiful. Be different, say 'no'! Don't give yourself right away, let him work for it because YOU ARE WORTH IT. You'll find that through waiting for the right person, you'll be building up a relationship as solid as the church you'll get married in. Now, what could be more beautiful than that?
Let me tell you that my internship at I Keep Love Real has been, in the simplest words, a really cool experience. Knowing even a fraction of the gravity of love through this campaign has opened my mind to how much of it is such a great, great force in this world. Love is a mystery worth pursuing, yet you never want to uncover its depths because what makes it impossible to understand is what makes it worth pursuing in the first place. We can never really have a universal definition for love, but we can understand what it brings us.
And this is done through the IKLR campaign. Love, while subjective to each of us, becomes concretized through the relationships which bind and keep us afloat in this world. With the relationships we have, we begin to understand what love means to us, personally. Essentially, the kind of love IKLR wants for us to experience is the driving force that keeps us going in the right direction until we meet our other half, that person we're to spend the rest of our lives with.
I invite you to be part of the I Keep Love Real Team. Share your insights to teens everywhere and make a difference in their lives.
As John Lennon said, "Love is real, real is love." :)
We yearn for long and lasting love. It seems to be in our nature, to be on the look-out for The One - that one person with whom we'd share real love. We go on numerous dates, trying to figure out which of those would work out. Give it more or less six dates and you're probably ready to venture into a deeper relationship with your significant other. Emotions get stronger and desires are amplified.
"If you love me, you'll do this for me. You'll have sex with me." Love? Are you sure it's real love? You're young. Breaking up, these days, isn't something new. We hear of break-ups everywhere -- from our own friends, and even in our own lives. What if, by chance, you and your significant other encounters a terrible problem that leads to tremendous amounts of fighting and misunderstanding. What probably seemed like "real" love then, appears like a total lie now.
Ms. Lora Garcia's book, I Keep Love Real, emphasizes the concept of chastity in our lives. Imagine having giving your body to the person who broke your heart, to the person who didn't fight for your relationship to survive, and to the person who has taken full advantage of your susceptibility to do anything for the sake of love. Then here comes this completely wonderful person, who simply sweeps you off your feet and shares with you, real and genuine love. This person, obviously different from all the others you've dated, proposes to marry you and vows to live forever and ever with you.
Won't you have this guilt feeling in your gut, stubborn and solid, haunting you like crazy?
Before you go into pre-marital sex, think of your future husband or wife. According to Ms. Lora, it's like cheating in advance. Sure, you might say you're too young to be thinking about marriage, but don't you think you're also too young to be cheating on your life-partner? What would you feel if your future husband or wife has been taken advantage of, by some jerk or slut? Wouldn't you feel helpless and weak, that you weren't able to do anything to protect him or her in that situation?
Let this be a helpful reminder, every time the call for sex comes. You have a choice and no one has to force you to do anything. Your decisions today would be reflected on whatever would happen tomorrow, and even in the future.
Allow me to wrap this entry up by inviting YOU to become a future blogger for I Keep Love Real. This experience has been simply amazing, and I'm extremely glad for having accepted this duty. Personal experiences and experiences from my friends have been my inspiration in doing this. As I typed in entries, I imagined talking to my own kabarkadas, giving them advice as I pat their backs for comfort. All of us are sick and tired of crying and aching, but we must never give up. Love surpasses everything. Though imperfect, the power of real love succeeds every problem, every heartbreak and every heart ache. I invite you to become a future blogger for IKLR. I invite you to share your insights, your thoughts, in the hope of lifting the spirits of teens everywhere.
Join us in spreading the real love revolution! :)

Marching out, marching into
Wednesday, March 11, 2009
I came across my old high school stuff the other day. Beneath my bookshelf, I found back issues of the school paper, prized essays, scrapbook projects, and dilapidated notebooks crammed with colorful post-its, old photos, letters, and whatnot. It was a nostalgic experience seeing even a fraction of the things which reminded me about pre-college life.
Call me the anti-drama queen, but I wasn't hit by an overwhelming sense of sadness. It wasn't as if I hated high school and wanted to forget it the moment I marched out of the auditorium, but it was just one of those moments wherein you find something you've totally forgotten about (maybe an old movie you haven't watched in ages) and find that it still has that fascinating quality which charmed you the first time you saw it.
In retrospect, I was pretty happy come graduation day. There were no tears, save for the ones from laughing too much with my friends during the ceremony. For my 17-year-old self, it was the paradigm of liberation, the front exit to oppressive homework and sadistic teachers! Surely it wasn't the end of the line, but the beginning of a whole new chapter of my life.
Graduation doesn't mean goodbye, but a mere 'goodbye for now'. For some, graduation is dreaded for it equates to a slowdown in relationships, such that they become victims of the high school fix. Here, they trap themselves in a replay of memories continuously played even after everyone has left the theatre.
Don't be afraid to let go of high school, because I assure you--there is a much bigger world out there, and you'll discover that there will be much to see and learn from it. It's a whole new life--a whole new adventure! You'll know more about yourself and meet a lot of new people, consequently forming new relationships. Just be ready for the changes that will come your way, because these will help you mature and be a better version of yourself.
As mentioned, graduation isn't goodbye or the end.. It's only the beginning of greater experiences in life! Good luck and congratulations, graduates of 2009! :)
The book, I Keep Love Real, by Lora Garcia invites to be true ourselves and really understand the essence of sex through the form of chastity and purity. She says, chastity and purity isn’t an archaic idea, it actually is something that is cool. It can be cool again, because the benefits of it are cool. And before you starting switching blog sites since sex is so taboo and we treat it as something private and not necessarily open for discussion – you thought wrong. Because of this notion, sex becomes such a mystery that most of us fall trap to the many consequences it fails to mention when you’re in that moment. That moment, that I must say, could truly be escapable, if we only knew…
But considering we don’t – chastity isn’t about what we give or what we don’t give but who we give it to and meaning we attach to the idea of sex when we regard it. Lora says that we, the teens of today, aren’t so different from the teens of yesteryear. We are, however, suffering from a “vision problem”. And she sums it up with this: “I don’t think we understand what we are waiting for. What are the benefits if we wait? What is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Teens have the capacity to wait. Present it to them in a reasonable and non-threatening way. These reasons are weak, lacking in water, those “Wag kang magssex kasi mabubuntis ka” reasons. We have access to more information nowadays. We are not a generation of people that will take everything sitting down, that we will just accept things. We have to be creative in trying to send the message across. The message is good. It’s true. That has never changed…but what has to change is the method.”
And we’ve heard it over and OVER again that it gets so sick we learn to tune it out. “Sex – everyone does it – so why can’t I?” – we keep telling ourselves. The book doesn’t close the idea that it won’t be able to touch on every audience or to inspire them to think of chastity in a new light. But it will directly or indirectly make us think, which the focal aim of Lora Garcia – to think about sex and what we’re really waiting for. What we’re waiting for? You’ll find out when you truly understand and respect yourself and your sexuality.
Let us not sell ourselves short. We are possibly led to wrong perspectives but at the end of the day, we all want respect. Chastity and purity in its greater essence gives justice to that. It allows us to experience the guilt-free pleasure of loving.
As I bid farewell to writing weekly blogs *sobs*… I must say this has been a great experience. I invite you to become future bloggers of the new love revolution! There is so much to learn with topics we talk about weekly and the videos we watch just so we can make sense of the lessons we impart to you guys. If there’s one thing I learned and have reasserted to myself is that I respect life and respect love. I see it as something so precious that when I find that great love, it will be divine. I hope you realize the beauty of love and why you guys, people capable of love, are truly so lucky to experience such a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’ve said it a million times and I will say it again… NEVER rely on fairytale-sweeping love but a love that is truly sustainable and sincere of its intention. Keeping love real is not about the physical appearance as I discussed in the Twilight saga, but understanding and accepting the entirety of ourselves and the person we’re with.
Kudos to love and the beauty it brings because what is life without it? We are always yearning for this because it never fails to deliver. Hurt, joy, pain – whatever it is, it’s amazing and we only grow to know so much. Everyday is day for love, may you cherish it as I do. When I’m with my friends, family or whoever, I think about love and how it encompasses my life.
Cheers, everyone. Remember: Love in a form of pain is still beauty in disguise ;)

"Promise me that nothing will change. Promise me that nothing will change between us."
As the school year halts to an end, numerous emotions engulf students. Indeed, the graduation season brings about heaps of excitement, as well as tons of worries and tears. For most, graduation is the time to rejoice as they welcome a new phase in their lives; whereas for others, graduation may mean separating from their significant other for a long time -- or forever.
Let's face it: graduation means moving on to a new life, a new college, and a new environment. As much as we would want our high school life (and love life) to remain intact, things would indeed change as a person enters and grows in college. Different paths lead people to varied directions, and sometimes it becomes extremely complicated to force those to meet. But you know what? It's not impossible.
While it is true that changes happen, relationships could still work beyond high school . The key here is a constant communication, honesty, and trust with your significant other. You don't have to go to the same school, nor would you have to hold him or her by the neck so as to keep his or her loyalty to you. Be fair to your partner and let him or her grow as an individual. If what you have for each other is indeed real love, you'd constantly want the best for one another.
Here are some common problems graduating couples face: 1. "We're not going to the same university together." You know what? It might even be better that way. I personally don't go to the same university as my boyfriend but our relationship's going really well. We get to see each other only on weekends and we're in constant communication through texting and YM. Sometimes, we surprise each other through impromptu visits and the like. What's good about studying in different colleges is that you get to develop your sense of independence and social skills. When you're always with your significant other, people would be quite reluctant to be close with you especially if they see that the two of you are all over each other. One major tip for this issue is a strong sense of trust and honesty between the two of you. If you really love each other, you'd remain loyal to one another and solve your problems together -- no matter what.
2. "He / She would be studying in a different country." Ah, long distance relationships. Sometimes it just leaves you completely helpless with your relationship. With all honesty, I believe that long distance relationships are hard to maintain and I commend people who are able to survive such situations. But you know, surviving the distance and time difference isn't impossible, especially in an era in which we are exposed to numerous communications paraphernalia like the Skype, YM and Facebook. Don't think that because you and your partner would be living in different countries, you'd be forever separated -- because it doesn't have to be like that. Let me ask you this, do you think the relationship's worth keeping? Do you want a happily ever after for the two of you? If you said yes, then it could happen. The answer lies in the two of you. It lies in how well you'd make the relationship work. Be realistic with yourselves and don't give one another false hopes. Remember that real love could surpass anything, no matter what happens between the two of you. Things won't always be perfect, but the two of your could make it work. Believe in the power of love.
Whatever happens between the two of you, have faith with one another. If it's real love, then the feeling would be mutual. Both of you, no matter what happens, should act in order to make the relationship work. This is a new phase in your life and you should welcome it with a big smile on your face and your arms widespread. Let the both of you grow and develop individually, without sacrificing your relationship. You can make this work! You can do it! :)
This is your time to shine. Congratulations on your graduation! Enjoy your college life!

Weekly Dose of Poems: Edmund Spenser
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
One day I wrote her name upon the strand
One day I wrote her name upon the strand, But came the waves and washed it away: Again I wrote it with a second hand, But came the tide, and made my pains his prey. Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay A mortal thing so to immortalize! For I myself shall like to this decay, And eek my name be wiped out likewise. Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise To die in dust, but you shall live by fame: My verse your virtues rare shall eternize, And in the heavens write your glorious name; Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue, Our love shall live, and later life renew.
Summer flings come and go. You might never have one in your life, but if you do, here are a few things to keep in mind before you give in to the summer breeze of love.
We all want a summer romance, the feeling where this moment can’t get any better or that crushing trulymadlydeeply has never felt this good. But get this, did it ever occur to your love-bugged mind that this fling of yours could be a true stalker, sex addict or a 55-year-old man pretending to be your age (cause he’s an in-denial pedophile)? Whatever, right? But there are too many cases of missing people after a date of blissful beginnings that you just have to keep guard.
Don’t fall too fast or you might fall into a trap you just can’t get out of. Yes, nothing is too good to be true.
Tip #1: Say your name but NOT your whole being. Do not give all too personal information that will put you doomed if he really was a stalker. He might have hawked you down and just pretended to meet you accidentally in lover’s paradise.
Tip #2: If he seems like all he wants for you guys is to go intimate. Well honey, it’s easy to decode – he wants you in bed – and that’s it. Sex addict alert! Hate to break it to you; love is always misinterpreted as lust. Don’t look like a damsel in distress eager to fall fast in love, because 1. Fairytales seldom exist and 2. If he’s pleasing you too much, it’s because he can’t wait for you to give in to his fantasy of exploiting women to give him a much needed ego boost.
Tip #3: Be wary of wrinkles and white hair. If he says he’s just your age (considering you’re 13-19) and seems like he’s such a big fat liar, more often that not, he really is what his physical characteristics suggest him to be. Sadly, there are no Benjamin Button’s in the world – so don’t get your hopes high. He is most likely, a pedophile eager to date someone three to four decades younger than him. My advice: stay away, stay FAR FAR FAR away. Just imagine: summer flings are supposed to sweep you of your feet… not to gross you till you gag.
This may sound all too humorous and almost impossible to happen to you. And yeah, not all summer flings go down this tragic – but it pays to be wary, it pays to be cautious and smart with people you mingle with. People who live in 21st century seem to be more jaded, screwed, and complicated to please. Don’t be a victim – we want to fall in love not be robbed of our sanity.
IKeepLoveReal.Blogspot.com is an unofficial site of IKeepLoveReal.com
I Keep Love Real (IKLR) is a campaign for a deeper understanding of the
meaning of love, relationships, and sexuality.
KEEP is respecting the nobility of affection and love.
LOVE refers to courtship, romance, and relationships between men and women with eyes towards friendship and marriage.
REAL is a quality of love that leads to respecting the dignity of the other person, waiting for marriage for love’s full expression,
and making it last despite trials.
The first person pronoun "i" makes keeping love real a personal decision not an imposition from the outside.
We think that… The campaign vision is realized through the projects of IAS-iKLR and the iKLR International network.
Projects
Talk
Interactive talks given by ates and kuyas to high school and college students,

Using camera-enabled mobile phones, participants of the competition are to capture creative, appropriate, and meaningful images that best portray the message of iKLR.
Scriptwriting Competition and TV Special
Similar to the Photography Competition, iKLR hopes to engage the youth in discovering and promoting a kind of love that respects and nurtures, by means of a scriptwriting competition. The winning story will be presented to interested media partners for portrayal in appropriate television shows, to be launched the following year.

Publications
Keep Love Real
Authored by Lora Tan-Garcia, Keep Love Real is a spritely read on love and chastity.
In Lora’s words, “Chastity isn’t about what you can’t have and can’t do. It’s so much
bigger and more triumphant than that. It’s actually having the life you’ve always wanted
but perhaps didn’t think you could achieve through chastity...”
Congress Executive Report with Research
The 2nd International Congress on Education in Love, Sex, and Life produced rich resource
materials on character education: from experts worldwide and from a research study involving
4,000 Filipino colleges.
Modules
Based on experiences and data gathered from seminars, I Am S.T.R.O.N.G. and
I Keep Love Real syllabi, modules, lesson plans, and other materials have been
written to help the Department of Education, teachers, and administrators replicate
the same program in their schools and classrooms. As they have been written in straightforward
language, using a clear, logical format, these works have also been distributed to selected students
and seminar participants.
