Los Angeles, January 2011
“I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands. To speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when they are not. To agree to disagree on red velvet cake, and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.”
God knows how badly I wish August to be here right now.
Happy 73rd. x
This is the kind of time when I really wished the our long distance relationship is over. Will it please get easier?
Three more months to go.

This year is the year I’ve been looking forward to after so long. After years of countless separations and reunions, we are at the last phase of our long distance relationship. In just a few months time, we’d be back in each other’s arms for good, slogging our hearts out together for the future we wanted. Together.
After all these years, and I still hold you as my biggest living pride. Why do I love you? I love how selfless you are. And it just makes me amaze at how humble one can be despite all that you have in life, even though there are times when you annoy me with your ego. It just makes me feel exceptionally blessed – blessed that everything about us have fallen in place so easily and perfectly, right from the very beginning. And it seemed like no obstacle was too difficult when we are both together. You’ve no idea how safe I feel when you are right beside me.
For the past few days, despite how crazy work has been flowing through my daily life, your morning calls to start my day and goodnight calls to round my night makes me feel nothing less than a bird flying through cloud nine. The chemistry we have for each other is something nobody can understand, and no words can explain. All we need to do is to keep our silence, and we’d see us laughing and smiling at each other.
Six years of happiness and hardship together, and many more to come. But that’s alright, because there is nothing stronger than my desire for you and our future together. Our future is nothing but bright. x
Last first monthsary of our entire long distance relationship, and I am so proud of us my sweetheart. All that we are working towards is right ahead of us. The fact that we are such an old couple, we no longer just call each other sweet names and whisper sweet nothings to each other. We’d step on each other’s foot, wrestle in bed, give each other silly names and do unglam acts on each other. Only because we are so comfortable with each other, and we just know that is probably what we love about us – nothing to hide. Just us being us.
I wish I could be a lot more than what I actually am. To learn how to cook up a proper Chinese meal to feed your hungry tummy after a long day from work. To give you a relaxing massage on your back while hearing you talk about your achievements and complains for the day. To put you in bed as you get tired from sharing. To make you a hearty breakfast to kick start your day right. And the cycle goes.
All these are all that I wish that I can be for you. For our future family. Only if my work gives me more time to learn these, I believe this would be the top priority.
On the contrary, you – as the man – cooks better, and have a much better home organization skills than I do. Which absolutely puts me to shame. But that is okay because I will work on that. The fact that how everyone actually agrees that you are such a keeper I feel absolutely undeserving of you. Humans are selfish in nature, and that explains why I am never gonna be letting you go anywhere away from me.
At least four more months till we meet again. Study hard baby, and I will see you really soon. I love you so much more than you’d know.
Happy 5 years and 11 months darling. ♡
We all know how comercialized Valentine’s Day actually is, and it was really just like any other day for Babs and I. No huge bouquet of flowers or bears for the other half; but the boy did get me a toy rose (which he calls the 百年玫瑰 – hundred year rose) then said that I wouldn’t be receiving any more flowers for the next hundred years. But I guess I would seriously be a lot happier to receive a bouquet of roses on any random day than on Valentine’s Day itself. I actually bought all the scrapbooking materials just one day before, because I was feeling diligent about making a handmade gift for Babs since I haven’t done so in quite a while. He was so happy when he saw the gift I made for him, he kept staring at it for a long time before the both of us decided to hit the sack that night. ☺
For the past few days Babs has been nothing less than the sweetest thing. Well not that he isn’t on usual days, but I can see that he has been putting in so much effort into his work. The job that he actually chose over what he could have been doing because he believes that this is what that can give both of us a better future. How I actually ache a little – like an overprotective mother to his toddler who is trying to learn how to walk - every time I see him only in the morning and would only return late at night. And when I actually asked him about it, he said he enjoys what he is doing because Hardwork equates Success. And apparently, I am the reason that motivates him to his success. ☺
Thank you Babs, for making me feel that all we have in our future is nothing but bright. x
