This is one of our main issues right now, our lack of jobs. We have been looking. Everywhere. And it’s so frustrating to send out resumes and not even getting a ‘Thanks, but no thanks’ reply back! We didn’t think it would be this difficult. Without jobs, we have no money. Without money, we can’t see each other in person (we can’t even send packages to each other!). And that’s eating us up from the inside. Not being able to look foward to a date, to hold the ticket in our hands (or the printout, at least) and be sure that we’ll be able to hold each other again. Lack of jobs also carry a lot of emotional baggage, it really makes you feel terrible, like nobody wants you. But we try to keep ourselves occupied with other things, to not just wait and wait and wait… It’s a different kind of waiting, waiting for a job than to wait for that meeting day to come. But mixing those two waiting feelings… it’s really taking a toll on us. So cross your fingers for us (and for all those couples in a similar economic situation), hoping that we get something soon! So we can be back to be ourselves again.

Sorry there haven’t been a lot of posts lately, I just haven’t had internet and the little net I could use here and there I’ve dedicated it to talk to the Boy. But we’ll be back to a regular updating schedule this week for sure. ♥

Girl.

Hello everyone once again! We have been pretty distracted lately… and it was all the World Cup’s fault. I get a little carried on… and got the Boy hooked up on it too. He even wore my country’s t-shirt and was online in every single match (even the really early ones) so we could watch it together (too bad that he had 5 seconds delay, so he already knew when there was a goal cause I was celebrating!). There was even a match during his birthday. Poor Boy, the things he does for me.

I love facial hair, don’t get me wrong. But I’ve nicknamed his moustache “the two bushy catterpillars”. Which is why he must shave.

Girl.

He found it! The Boy was so worried that he had lost his passport… the stamps of his first visit are an important memory for him, and it was heartbreaking to think that we lost that little piece of memorabillia. But luckily he found it…

Girl.

Music makes us feel closer.

A couple of posts ago someone recomended us a song (I did like the lyrics very much!), and it made me want to share our playlist on the site.

Daft Punk – Something About Us (Our song)

Daft Punk – Digital Love

Incubus – Stellar

Incubus – I Miss You (This one makes us both cry)

NIN – We’re In This Together

Daft Punk – Face To Face

John Denver – Leaving On A Jet Plane (To be honest I like this version, even if I’ve never watched Glee)

Incubus – Wish You Were Here

(All are random links on YouTube except for Something About Us… that’s the link he sent me when we first started talking.)

Girl.

The last few weeks have been really hard, and I haven’t been able to sleep much lately. I go to bed at 2 am just to wake back at at 4 and I don’t fall back asleep until almost 6. Part of it due to stress, the other part is due to the lack of knowing what will happen day to day. I have been trying like crazy to find a new job so I can save up to see Girl this Christmas like we want to, but I am running out of time and have been forced to apply to something I didn’t want to do. It’s all in an attempt to make as much as I can to see her as quick as possible….

Night after night, for weeks now, I say good night to her and go to bed only to wake back up a little bit latter. Thinking too much about what might happen if I don’t find some work soon..  Just when i think I’ve lost it, I look at a gift from her. An early birthday present and think to myself her saying “Everything will be OK, we will make the best of this”.  With that thought I snap out of the rut I am in and start thinking better thoughts. She is my compass through this ordeal, keeping me on the right path.

Its now 5 am. I am off to bed trying to get to some sleep. Man, I wish she was here with me. I don’t think i would have such an issue sleeping if my bed wasn’t so empty.

Boy.

There has been a change of pace in my life. I have recently been let go at my job so that kinda puts a damper on things. But the Girl and I see this as a way to move on with my life. Anyone who knows me knows that the last 4 years hadn’t been easy on me. The only saving grace is that I fell in love with her. She helps me in ways that no one else can. This is why I have decided not to let this get me down, and once again, “with her support I feel like I can do anything”.

I have found an interest loose leaf tea, and it gets me off my ass in the morning during this hunt for a new job. When I was visiting Girl I was introduced to this regional drink called Mate. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! I liked it so much I wasn’t going to go home without bringing some with me. Needless to say, getting 3 packages of Mate thought the airport was a fun trip *thumbs up to TSA*. I drink it all the time from the gourd I got when I was down there (I use my bombilla so much the coating is now tarnished). Mate is so much healthier for me than those damn energy drinks I used to drink all the time; it keeps me active for much longer time, as much kick as a cup of coffee without the jitters.

Back to loose leaf tea, I have found several stores that carry it here, and I’m amazed at the wide range of flavors they offer. I have a friend that used to work at a tea shop and he gave me an infuser with some samples of tea in exchange of some Mate. The green tea he gave is amazing, I liked it so much I went and found some samples online to try as well, as you can see from the picture. I am also cutting out most of the processed crap that was in my diet, trying to eat and drink better. This is all part of me trying to make better choices and live a healthier life for her.

Boy.

We both got sick at the same time, and spent a day in bed talking to each other on our netbooks. Conversations interrupted by coughing fits are no fun!

Girl.

The guy has been a bit obsessed recently with getting a tandem bicycle for us to ride together. The ugly truth is… I can’t ride a bicycle! I never really learned without the tiny wheels, haha. He says he’ll take care of everything but I bet I will crush us into obvilion (aka, a bush).
