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.

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…

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.)

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!

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).

Do you have sometimes that feeling that you’re just disconnected from the world? When something terrible happens, for example the loss of a person, and time just seems to stop and everything just feels like in a haze. In just a couple of years I had to deal with a lot of deaths, and it never gets easier to me. It happened recently, a persno I looked up to passed away, and I was (and still am) very sad. It’s sort of difficult that I’ve had so many experiences of this kind, but the Boy had none, so he doesn’t fully understand how hard it is for me. But that’s ok. I don’t wish something like this to happen to him.
We’ve gotten a couple of comments about a former post, and I think I should repost something I wrote in a comment before:

Because of my culture and personal opinion, I consider us to be still too young and too early into the relationship to live together (one of the first options for LDR couples if they don’t have much money to relocate). Luckily Boy agrees with my position. However, we are both exploring options to be able to spend more than a couple of weeks in each other’s country (be it work, education, etc). In the spirit of keeping this blog as anonymous as we can, we prefer to not give much insight of issues that are stopping us right now from throwing our arms to the air and just be together physically (e.g.: we mention money problems, but we don’t specify much behind that point.). All that being said, yes, it is one of our long term goals (if not, we don’t see much of a point on being LDR) and we hope that sooner or later it will become true.

We don’t think jumping into marriage is a good way to solve problems. We don’t believe in just doing it to have the possibility to be in the same country. We want to first overcome those obstacles, and then if time and the feeling is right, may be.

Okay I was gonna post about the sad stuff that has been going on but this is too much to ressist (I guess that’s a good sign).
The boy is a very messy person. VERY. And I’m the exact opposite. He leaves things on the floor, the only thing you’ll see on the floor with me are shoes if I haven’t got the time to put them in the closet. He leaves piles of clothes while I put them tidly in the hamper. Bags, dishes! Agh! Ever since we started talking, while we were just friends, I encouraged him to be more organized. What happens is that he’s organized when he’s in a good mood, but if he’s stressed out, his place starts to get messy. So I gave him a deadline: his room had to be Girl’s cleaning standards by Saturday. Right now I’m watching him on Skype vacuuming his floor, and it’s so hypnotic, lol. He’s proud of himself and I am too, for we can see his floor now.
One problem though. He can’t remember where he put his passport *facepalm*. We hope he didn’t lose it as it had the Customs stamps, and as people would agree, those have a lot of sentimental value!
I can say we have been working on the stress and arguments. We do wanna show that all couples have their good and bad times, there’s no point in denying that (in our opinion, saying otherwise is a delusion). The difference is how much effort they both put in fixing that. And we both put a lot because we’re very stubborn! On a side note, a comment from our last post left us a bit confused. “Sounds like you both need to make more of an effort to make this a permanent thing”. We weren’t quite sure what you meant by that, but if you mean being able to visit each other, we sure are doing a huge effort and sacrifices for that. It’s just not easy when each roundtrip could go for about 1,500-2,000 dollars… If only we would have safe teletransportation available!

DST and timezones are evil for LDR couples. It means that one of you is gonna lose sleep, and that once you get used to that pattern, DST changes are gonna throw you off again. IMO the best option is to get a laptop and talk in bed, weird conversations ensue. We have both been pretty stressed out and haven’t had the chance to do that in weeks, but I hope that once things settle down we’ll repeat it.

It was one of those weeks again, where the only solution would be just hiding from the world. The bad news weren’t directly related to our relationship, but they affectus being physically together.
-
The only good thing that happened in these past 3 days was that our Notebook didn’t get lost in the mail and he got it. We were worried about that.
We also thank you all for reading and commenting, we smile every time we see a new comment on the site. And some have been picking up some (not so hidden) clues. We’ll tell more of our story soon (as much as we can while still being anon), as some people have been asking for how long we’ve been together and stuff like that.
