A LDR built on Trust...FTW!

Again, I would like to reiterate that our long distance relationship is so not perfect. We also do get the usual LDR squabbles, especially since I am quite the jealous type. Yes I can get very jealous. Hehehe. I do have my issue which I attribute to a trauma in the past.

And so my loving the distance dream # 3 is for all LDR couples to establish trust, meaning a whole lot of honesty and just being conscious about keeping the relationship status by buzzing away temptations. This gets pretty sticky.

Don't you think this is one of the most difficult LDR challenge of the all? Is this true for the guys or for the girls as well?

Pls take good care of me...

I've realized this loving the distance dream during my regular walks up the hill ALONE at night under the blanket of stars. A romantic moment but then again I am ALONE. I do feel SO alone. And I realize that at the end of the day, I just want to be taken cared of…which is quite the challenge with the distance.

I want Dodong to pick me up and bring me home during late nights at work (or at leisure). I want Dodong to cook me chicken noodle soup (or any soup for that matter) when I am sick. I want Dodong to hold my hand when I am scared. I want Dodong to truly be able to take care of me…even if he is far, far away. And, of course, I do want to take care of him too.

How can you take care of somebody far, far away???

Love the distance,

I can't believe that I am almost at my 100th post (my 99th to be exact!) and it's been almost 2 years since Dodong left the country for greener pastures in the Dubai sands. Sometimes I do feel like a broken record going on and on about our long distance relationship: how much I miss Dodong, how much I want to be with him, how much I want to kill the loneliness. But still here I am sharing my innermost feelings with you guys (whoever you are out there).

Because I do have dreams, I do have Loving the distance dreams. And the very first one is this: For all couples in long distance relationships to see the light in LOVE. I do believe that this will help all of us get through. Yes, it is lonely, but, at the end of it all, someone, hundreds and even thousands of miles away from us, loves us through and through.

Are you guys with me on this?

P.S. I'm just so happy because I was able to upload my photos using my Flickr account Success!

Can't I have my cake and eat it too?

Dodong has been up and about since last Thursday as the Formula 1 Yas Marina race in Abu Dhabi has started. It's been his dream to witness a Formula 1 race ever since and this is it! His dream come true!

While has been experiencing living his dream the past few days and I've been feeling left out. Another one of those bouts of loneliness…or alone-ness perhaps?

Dodong says I should not be feeling these feelings at all because of the fact that he is coming home very soon (in 20 days to be exact). But I still feel left out. I've always wanted to be there to experience major things like dreams coming true with him. But the distance does not allow us that.

I'm happy for him, but, at the same time, sad. He says he understands me, but I think and feel that he doesn't.

Don't you want to be by his side when HIS dreams come true?

Love the distance,
