Missing the Boyfriend… But, Thank God for Work!
Posted on: 17th of May 2007 | Under: Life & Love

JR has finally settled down in Singapore. I flew there with him for 8 days to help him buy things and fix his room. It was also the perfect opportunity for us to spend quality time together.

Being in a long distance relationship is no doubt difficult. Having him so far away is something that I haven’t completely grasped yet. I was having coffee at our favorite Starbucks Monday afternoon, and it felt so different not having him around. I kept finding myself glancing towards the door, expecting him to appear any minute. I kept searching through the crowd for the semi-bald-headed guy that would always greet me with glimmering eyes and a wide smile. I miss him so much, that words cannot even describe how I’m feeling.

I have to thank my new work, though. I started the day after I arrived back from Singapore, and I must say that it has helped me deal with the distance thing. Being busy and preoccupied the whole day has somehow veered me away from sulking. I’m also enjoying the new environment, my new officemates included, so at least I still have something to look forward to everyday. =)

Here’s a couple of pictures of JR and I Singapore:

    Being busy does take away the loneliness because you are not facing a moment where you have nothing to do but think of how far away he is. But the good thing is that he is just a few hours away (not to mention, a few hundred dollars for a plane ticket, but still..). =) You guys will do fine I’m sure. =)
    Nice to have seen you again in Singapore, btw, even if it was only for a moment. Btw, do you have the photos that we took at Food Republic? Can you send it to me via email, if it isn’t asking too much? Thanks dear! =D

    i’m glad work is helping you divert yourself from all the loneliness. you must be enjoying your new job. seems like a happy place to work in. before you know it, the time will come very soon when either you or JR will visit one another. i know you both are part of a powerful relationship, so long distance can be handled. :)

    Groovy layout.

    I’m glad that JR’s all settled in Singapore, and you, congrats with the new job. Who knows, I might just bump into him along orchard road.

    Although it’s good to keep yourself busy, remember not to stress your self out too much! :-) Have a lovely weekend.
