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.

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.

Some things, on the other hand, are best done ALONE.
Although there are a lot of activities I do miss doing with Dodong, I'm super blessed to have more time to do things that I enjoy on my own. Aminin! I'm sure you also have stuff to do that your partner doesn't exactly enjoy 100%. For me, these included:
