We are on our second part of our month-long 13th anniversary feature and we get to dig deeper with our Guy this March. We get to the more intimate side of Miggy Morales in this feature as we touch in with his romantic side.
Our guy, Miggy, could pass off as a bachelor, but he isn’t currently available as he is in a long distance relationship for six years (turning 7 this year), For him the best way to keep a relationship strong despite the distance is through good communication,
Quiet, that’s how Miggy describes himself as a partner that others might think that he’s not that expressive of his love, but he make sure that he makes amends of it through his actions and not just through words
Despite being in a relationship, settling down is still far from his agendas in life as Miggy wants to enjoy his bachelorhood more by reaching his goals in life whether it is financial or with regards to his career.
When people tell him that he is already left behind when it comes to building his own family he just shrugs them off as he believes that he is in control of his life and he’s the one that should be deciding on the things that he will be doing.
Get to read more of our conversation with Miggy Morales below:
Are you single or taken?
I’m taken.
How long have you been taken?
Six years.
What’s the secret in keeping a relationship long?
May different phases itong relationship na ito eh, may part na we were both here in the Philippines, and currently long distance ito. I guess for both phases the secret talaga is communication, it's not a secret actually it’s a known fact that a key to a good relationship is good communication with each other, you missed the person you communicate it, you’re angry with the person you communicate it in such a way na hindi naman magcocause ng mas malaking away.
Communication and how well you communicate things to the other person that’s the key to a good relationship I would say.
How do you manage this long distance relationship?
Well first of all, I guess you should manage yourself first haha, since magkalayo kayo sa isa’t isa iba iba ang oras niyo if you are able to manage your self, your state of being, your mood throughout the day then pag nag usap kayo when your schedules meet, you are in a good mood, and you are able to talk to each other without arguing kasi parehas kayong good mood eh.so you have to manage yourself first, your mood before you talk to her.
How would you describe yourself as a partner?
Not only as a partner , but generally sobrang tahimik akong tao and others might mistake that as I am not that much of a demonstrative person, lagi akong tahimik lang, poker face ganyan, yung love pinapakita ko through actions not through words or facial reactions.
Yung ginagawa ko para dun sa tao, the sacrifices, time, and effort. Yung pagbisita kahit na busy, making time to visit her or when she visits talagang itututok ko yung oras ko.
Most romantic thing you’ve ever done so far?
I am not sure if it’s the most romantic, but it’s what I remember now maybe the most romantic for the past months, years, my partner she recently took a training for this company and when she graduated and I couldn’t go so nag prepare ako ng something sa house nya dun, may nag surprise sa kanya na mga regalo.
Yung pag coordinate nun is the romantic thing i guess, kasi yun yung effort eh it’s a different country.
Craziest thing you’ve ever done so far?
Siguro nagtravel ako sa ibang bansa three times in one month haha.
What’s your biggest turn on and what turns you off big time?
Biggest turn on, anong klaseng turn on? hahaha, the biggest turn on talaga is yung maturity and humility combined, I would look up to the person who has it.
Turn off? Arrogance.
Would you ever be friends with an Ex?
Lagi, sa buhay ko ang kinoconsider ko lang talaga na ex, yung official, konti lang sila eh haha. I maintain a diplomatic relationship with everyone, walang bad break up, bad break up sa akin.
Best thing about being a bachelor?
You get to focus more on other things, your goals. I guess you have more time to focus on them eh, which means that you also have to make the most of it, it doesn’t mean na maging relaxed ka.
You get to spend more time achieving your goals in life whether financially, career wise, or yung sa sports mo if you want to grow, having more time with your family as well, because when you are married it's’ going to shift one way or another, you can’t really control it kung tutok ka sa asawa mo or anak mo yung priorities mo mag iiba, basically you really have more time to spend para sa sarili mo and other people.
Have you ever felt pressured to settle down?
No, I have my own timeline, di ako nag kukumpara sa iba, naka focus lang ako sa sarili ko,
When other people tell me na huli na para sa ganito, late ka na para sa ganyan hindi ako nakikinig talaga, buhay ko kontrolado, so ko kung magrelax ako problema ko na yun kung ano yung magiging consequences niyan in the future I will deal with that, kung nagmamadali ako maaga ko ginawa ito whatever the consequences are problema ko din, basta oras ko ito ako bahala.
