May 21 - BEST Valentine's Gift Ever

I can't believe I forgot to write this one out on the previous post:

HE IS COMING TO VISIT THIS SUMMER!

I am SUPER excited about this!

Ever since we got into the relationship, we just have been wanting to meet so badly (of course).

We hadn't talked about the time, but then I saw a WhatsApp status of my best friend Theresa that our graduation is on Aug 29. I just thought, I really, really want him to be there for the ceremony. And I told him that.

If university graduation is on Aug 29, that means my faculty graduation (we call it judicium) is on Aug 22 for it's always a week prior to the big graduation. I would love to have him attend both things. So we talked about the possibility of him being here to attend both.

Also in August is my birthday, which is on the 15. When I turned 21 and he baked me cupcakes from a far and sent the pic to me, he said he would bake me cupcakes for real when I'm turning 22 and all. Then he said, he would prolong the visit so he will also be here for my birthday.

And the best part of it all, guess what lies between Aug 15 and 29?
Our first anniversary!!!!!!!

But that was only a plan, right.

Until..

For Valentine's day, he paid for his ticket to Jakarta.

Confirmed: My boyfriend will come over to visit from Aug 6 to Sep 4!!!!

It's almost a month long. Think about all the activities we can do together as a couple, FINALLY!

I have so much already in my mind! He'll be in for a treat, that's for sure.

And no, non filthy things, hahahahaha.

He used to be sexually active but learning where I come from and how I would like to keep my virginity until the day I get married, we have been keeping things clean and just do other fun things in the meanwhile.

We text as much as we can (which is not that much considering our schedule) and are on the phone almost every night, so we enjoy talking to each other just about anything.

He's my best friend. I'm so lucky to have him, someone who I can tell everything to, and someone who makes me a top priority.

Will definitely remind myself to update again, cheerios!

May 21 - A Quick Update: Going Strong!

Hi, hi, hi!
Look who is updating after what feels like a year!

Our friends and families who know about this blog have been asking how things are between us mainly because they checked this blog and saw nothing, so they were kind of (well, should be present tense I guess) considering the possibility that the story ended or something.

I'm very pleased to tell you that it's not.

Yes, Luis and I are still pretty much together! :)
Three more days and we would have been dating for 9 months already. Nine months! Who would have thought, huh?

Over time now, as more people in our lives know about how we 'met', we have just never ceased to gain pessimistic comments and criticism, which sometimes are not exactly constructive. 

Being so far away from each other, sometimes things get a little harder to a point that I would just get a little sad and wish he were here with me for real. 

But then I turn to look at how happy he makes me and how positive this relationship is to our own selves. I would like to stress more on the latter, cause I didn't experience this in my previous relationships.

You know how there are many couples out there who get overly attached to each other, become so inseparable, and just let go of other people they usually spend time with?

That is not what is happening to us, thank goodness, as we give and provide each other with alone time and comfortable space to keep up with our personal lives. And this is what I love most about being with him: I still get to hangout with my friends (guy friends too, since the more friends of mine he knows, the less jealous he gets), he still gets to go on boys' nights with his best friends, we have plenty of time for our families, and the right amount of solo moments to enjoy our hobbies.

Just like any relationship, we do have problems too. We argue and sometimes fight, but it's almost never about the same thing over and over again, and with every disagreement, comes a better understanding about each other and what we want and need from each other.

I didn't plan on writing this much, but once I started typing, words just came thru my mind and made me want to write a lot.

There are so much to tell, unfortunately I haven't exactly found enough time to get on them, so looks like further updates are gonna have to wait a little longer. 

Until then, stay in love!

Oct 14 - Spy on a Mission

I always wanted to be a spy when I was little. (Okay, maybe sometimes the idea of applying to CIA after college still creeps into my mind sometimes.) But if there’s one thing that’s really torturing to be a spy, for me, is that you don’t get to share about your operations to anyone, even your significant other, because it’s just too risky. Your lover can’t even know what mission you’re on, what city you’re in and going to, what name you’re using for the specific task, etc.

But Luis is not a spy.

Apparently, he’s wanted to do a special mission all these years, and he just decided to tell me tonight, when the execution is tomorrow. After he explained about this mission and I got to ask him questions, he asked for something.

L: Baby, could you do me one favor? Uhm, to send me a message tomorrow morning that everything will be okay. (blushing) Just a sweet one like I send you at night.

V: I will do that, you don’t have to ask for it. You know what I don’t understand?

L: Tell me.

V: The fact that you never brought this up to me in our conversations. Not even once. I can’t help but feel little and unimportant..

L: No Honey, it’s not that. I mean I didn’t tell anyone about it ever. You are the first one to know, because you are important to me. And I already thought I would bring it up today but I really didn’t know they would say, “Okay, tomorrow.” I thought we’d have enough time to, you know, talk about it.

V: Okay, but no more keeping secrets from me, promise? This idea has been there for 3 long years, even you’ve saved up for this. Promise?

L: I promise, I never kept a secret, did I? It was just a personal thing that I would tell you anyway Baby. I promise, pinky promise. (heart)

I know he’s telling the truth. I just hope everything will come out right, as planned.
