Go for it! Just do it!
Both Dodong and I have been quite busy nowadays. I have my hands full with a new job, sidelines, friends and a long distance relationship, while Dodong is juggling his new responsibilities at work, paying the bills and saving up for the future plus keeping healthy through diet and exercise.
Obviously, with my sched, exercise still isn't in the equation. That's why I decided (on impulse!) to join 360 Fitness in Ortigas Center, which is a hop and a skip away from the office. As I was on my 2nd work out yesterday, I realized that keeping my body fit and healthy is the same thing as keeping our long distance relationship healthy too. How? Read more after the jump

The gates to loneliness are empty.
When one (or rather two since a couple is involved) is in a long distance relationship, both must expect fairly regular dealings with the sickness of LDR loneliness. One sickness that I am going through at this very moment. One sickness that I loathe to the core because it's so hard to get out of…plus it is regular in long distance relationships.
Do you have your bouts of LDR loneliness too?

Unlocking the computer genius in me…
Since yesterday late afternoon, I have been experiencing problems with the internet connection, rather the lack of an internet connection. The modem was blinking properly and so was the router. Or so I thought. Usually, in problems like these, I do get to be a damsel in distress with Dodong.
I am a Marketing person. I am not techie (even though I do blog). But really, if I still have a report card today, the computer subject would be one of the lowest grades on it. On the other hand, Dodong is a Computer Science graduate and definitely has more techie know-how than I do. So in times of technical support, he is always there to rescue me.
But since I was on my own, without an internet signal for me to call on him for rescue, I did have to figure this out by myself…

Missing the empty space beside me…
We have been married for 18 years and I have gotten used to waking up with a warm body beside me.

Long distance relationships are different from couple to couple and we would want to cover as much ground as we can to be able to help support each other through these times. I am in a relationship with an OFW, while Penelope is in a relationship with a foreigner. We're both single. I meant, not yet married (yes, hoping to be married naman…SOON! Hehehe!) plus without kids. So we don't have any experience with marriage and family life. Obviously. Plus I think given my trauma, I do need some support to strengthen my belief that long distance marriages do work.
