10 Quotes From Maja Salvador And Rambo Nuñez To Make You Believe In Love's Second Chances
It's take two for these two, and they couldn't be happier about it
When Maja Salvador and Rambo Nuñez broke up a decade ago, they figured they were done for good.
It happens, they both thought; you fall in love in your 20s and think you've found the one to grow old and gray with, but thanks to the currents of life that pull you apart instead of push you together, splitting up might soon become the only thing left to do, even for the couples whose bonds are deeper than the ocean itself.
But in the words of Rambo himself, when you're meant to be, you're meant to be—even if it takes 10 years for love to come knocking again.
It's better later than never, after all, and for this happy couple who has just celebrated their first anniversary since getting back together, it was all certainly worth the wait.
We sat down with Maja and Rambo and asked them about what's changed, what's better, and what's happier in their relationship's second take. See what they have to say in the gallery below!
Quotes from Maja and Rambo
Quotes from Maja and Rambo
Maja on what she appreciates about Rambo:
"Malambing 'yun eh. 'Pag work, work. Pero 'pag time sa'kin, kahit busy siya, may text 'yan... And, mahilig siya mag-surprise. Sobrang happy ako 'pag kumakain so 'pag nagta-travel kami, siya talaga naghahanap ng restaurants. Siya 'yung planner talaga. Siya 'yung gumagawa ng itinerary and all. Kaya masarap 'yung life ko!"
Maja on challenges in their relationship:
"Pinaka-challenging [na part] is siguro 'yung nahihiya ako na hindi ko kayang ibalanse 'yung oras ko with him. Kasi siya, kayang-kaya i-balance eh, kayang-kaya niya akong bigyan ng oras. Parang sana mapantayan ko 'yun kung paano siya mag-effort."
Maja on advising couples about break-ups:
"Intindihin nang maigi 'yung isa’t-isa and hindi break-up ang kailangan ng lahat para ma- solve ang problems. Every time na papasok ka sa relationship, ginusto mo. So, kung mag-e-end man, you should respect each other pa rin. Pero kung hindi, mas lalong hindi dapat mawala 'yung respect sa isa’t-isa."
Maja on what a great date is like:
"Hindi lang 'yung nasa cellphones [kayong dalawa]. Sana nag-Whatsapp na lang kayo, 'diba? 'Yun din kasi nangyayari minsan; you date, tapos nasa cellphones lang kayo lagi. Maganda 'yung may conversation tapos marami kayong pagkukwentuhan."
Maja on what she sees in Rambo:
"Sobrang na-appreciate ko siya noong naging kami ulit. Kasi nag-end 'yung relationship namin na may problem because of my work. Tapos siya rin naman, kailangan mag-focus sa business nila. So sobrang na-appreciate ko, na alam kong importante talaga ako sa kanya para maintindihan 'yung work ko and 'yung pinagdaanan namin 10 years ago."
Rambo on love being sweeter the second time around:
"Yes, for us, it applies. But again, I think it depends on the situation or the circumstances; it’s more of if it’s really for you, it doesn’t matter if it’s the first, second, or third time around if you’re really meant for each other."
Rambo on what makes their relationship now better than before:
"We've already achieved something individually, so if we prioritize our relationship, we’re not going to compromise anything because we’re at a level wherein we’re secured with what we do in terms of what we have established, what we have accomplished... So if we prioritize our relationship and we make it good for our relationship, then the rest will just follow. Even work becomes better because you become inspired so we can already balance it. Before, it would be a lot of sacrificing, but now it's really more of balancing."
Rambo on what Maja has taught him about relationships:
"Being responsible in terms of being in a relationship, the clear distinction of being single and being in a relationship. I’ve been in relationships before, but it wasn’t long-term… But a lot of times, if I didn't see it working out, ayoko na rin. I don’t push through with it, so siguro ‘yung what she taught me is really the difference between a real relationship from dating or being single."
Rambo on bonding with Maja:
"A perfect date for us would be going somewhere and probably like dining out in a place where we both haven’t eaten yet. I think it’s more of, we’ll be having a very interesting conversation while we’re dining, but also discovering new things. Since we like to travel, we’ve been to a lot of places both individually and together. So I guess, what’s perfect is that when we go on a date, we go somewhere where we both haven’t been to, dining there and just experiencing something that we can only experience there."
Rambo on how he treats Maja's celebrity status:
"I’m still myself but I have to be more cautious about certain things, knowing that it can affect her or that she’s under the microscope. That’s a challenge. It’s not like I’m going to pretend to be someone else, but there are certain filters she’s bound by, so many things because of her work and because of where she is. It’s a welcome challenge because she’s a part of it and it makes me realize that nothing is perfect. There will always be challenges, regardless of who your partner is; so it’s more of embracing that challenge and being happy and being a part of that environment as well."
