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
Polaroids taken over the years
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. ♡
Nobody ever makes me feel this comfortable existing the way I am; even if I didn’t have any make up on, with me putting on my ugliest temper, or even doing the most disgusting thing. It just feels… right. And only because it is you, I get to see this side of me.
Thank you for making long distance relationship so much easier despite the rough times we had while being physically away. Thank you for studying hard because you want to secure a good future for the both of us. Thank you for being practical > romantic in times of need – afterall, you are looking at the bigger picture of our future in years to come. Thank you for the multiple trips that made us explore so much about the world together. Thank you for holding on to us so fervently even though I feel that things might not work between us (how silly was I to even think of that)?
Thank you for being the stronger of us two, for keeping us together till this date.
If there’s something that defines me, it’ll be nothing but you, us, and our love.
Happy 67th month, babylove.
We’ve came such a long way together.

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.”
The best relationship is when you two can act like lovers and best friends. It’s when you have more playful moments than serious moments. It’s when you can joke around, let each other have piggy backs, have unexpected hugs and random kisses. It’s when you two give each other that specific stare and just smile. It’s when you’ll rather stay in to watch movies, eat junk food and cuddle, than go out all the time. It’s when you’ll stay up all night just to settle your arguments and problems. It’s when you can completely act yourself and they can still love you for who you are.
Happy 63rd xx
