Sometimes, Joel and I don't know what to do... We happen to be bored... Even when we are together! That is due, I believe, to the lack of possibilities to cuddle and stuff, since we are away from each other. In such moments, what to do??? We play Solitaire Showdown! (It's an MSN messenger game!) Now, why Solitaire Showdown you might ask? Personally I enjoy Solitaire because Joel

Hi. Well, yeah, Marie is another year older.But, she is also another year prettier. ^.^I wish I was there to celebrate her birthday with her. ^^But, when she comes here this summer, I'll be able to treat her as if it were her birthday for a whole month. :DSo, yeah, in a LDR, you can't always do things whenever you want. But sometimes, if you do those things when you do get a chance, it makes

Ways to keep in touch, part 2

2006-02-08T08:16:00.000-05:00

When you are in a long-distance relationship like Joel and I, you have to find a way to keep in touch. Of course, it isn't always easy, due to time difference and personal obligations... But at least you can get the technical things out of the way. Before Joel had his own laptop, he had to share his computer time with his brother, which made it very difficult for me to find a time when we were

What to do together when you're away from each other...

2006-02-06T16:32:00.000-05:00

One of the hardest things is to know what to do together when you're away from each other... There are lots of things you CANNOT do, like going out together, having lunch together at a nice restaurant, and so on and so forth... So now, the question is, how not to get bored? Well, there are many things you can do! You can play online games, talk, do your homework together, watch CNN videos and

Joel is so cute!

2006-02-05T18:41:00.000-05:00

Joel and I were talking, as always on mic and cam, when suddenly Joel gets up and goes: "omg I had a pen 2 minutes ago, where did it go? I had it just now...!" So he looks around and tries to find it but he doesn't! So I go: "err, your ear?" and yes the pen was there! Joel usually puts his pen behind his ear when he is studying, and he sometimes forgets about it! It's kinda like on TV I guess,

Second lunaversary!!

2006-02-03T21:07:00.000-05:00

Today (4 feb my time, it's past midnight here) is our "first kiss" lunaversary lol!! So every month I wish Joel a happy anniversary! We have been doing that for more than 2 years!!! I feels good to have somebody to bother like that! But what really feels good, is the real anniversary, when you know it is another year together that you are counting! So honey, happy anniversary lol :D ^.^

Anniversary

2006-01-28T16:08:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was our anniversary. Well, not the real yearly one, just the monthly one! We called it lunaversary lol. So we got together in october 2003, I was 20 and he had just turned 18. It feels like we have been together for much longer than 2 years... It is strange, it passed by so fast, we have done a lot and not much at the same time. I wish we had more opportunities to do more things

Life is one fool thing after another where as love is two fool things after each other.Death can not stop true love, it can only delay it for a little while. Love is not a matter of counting the years --it's making the years count. Love is like pi -- natural, irrational, and very important.

ways to keep in touch

2006-01-22T18:52:00.000-05:00

An important element of a long-distance relationship is how you are going to keep in touch. Some people might write snail mail, if they live in the same country i guess it is ok. Some people might prefer using a phone, I like it, but in my situation it is expensive. Some people might use the internet! In my humble opinion, the Internet is the way to go, for severla reasons! first, you pay

Joel is going to join my other blog I think. It's cool to have a common blog, although he doesn't post much... Well anyway! that's all for today folks!

Moving or not... does it make a difference?

2006-01-19T20:40:00.000-05:00

Some people will argue that being in a LDR from the start is different from being in a LDR after some time (for instance, one of the partners moves to another city). It is true that it does make a difference in that a LDR-only couple is used to being separated, while a LDR-to be couple is used to being in each other's presence and has to get accustomed to the separation. I tend to believe

COMMON FUTURE

2006-01-19T18:52:00.000-05:00

Joel and I are seriously planning to live together later on. After we finish our studies, we want to buy a house and move in together. Right now, I wish I was studying in the US, but I can't because it's too expensive... I don't think I would be granted a scholarship, and starting out with a loan to pay for college would be a bad idea methinks... Well at least I could see him more often...

Can you believe Joel's luck???????????

2006-01-16T15:59:00.000-05:00

2006-01-13T20:06:00.000-05:00

Hi, everyone.I decided to share a funny story. ^^When I went to France to visit Marie, I didn't know much French.Marie wanted to help me practice by telling me that I should try to order a crepe from thecrepe stand. So, Marie kept telling me that all I had to say to him was:"Je voudrais deux crêpes au sucre." So, this being the only thing I had to say, according to Marie, I practiced this

Writing stories

2006-01-13T18:27:00.000-05:00

When Joel and I are bored and don't know what to do or what to talk about, we either read books together, or write stories!! Today we wrote a story about a little plant that meets 4 deer. lolWell what gave me the idea to write a story was a blog that I found at random on blogger: 250k.blogspot.comBasically, for the people who want to write stories, (I mean seriously, not just a short 3 page story

2006-01-12T23:54:00.000-05:00

Well, today me and Marie talked about plans for her to come to the US.It would be cool if she could visit me at my dorm, but that would cost around $600 to $700.Someone reading our blog may think that we must have a lot of money if I was able to go to France and Marie was able to come to the US. However, this is not true. We have no money. XDI was able to go t France because my dad thought it

When I think about it, sometimes I just wanna hop on a plane and go see Joel! No luggage, no heavy suitcase, no bag, just me with my plane ticket in my purse, ready to go to the United States to spend some time with Joel! Of course, I can't do that without planning as plane tickets are expensive and I don't wanna get a travel deal just to travel cheap if security isn't assured on the plane.So I

Joel's opinion on LDRs

2006-01-11T14:06:00.000-05:00

Well, Marie is right. If you are in or planning on having a long distance relationship, then yes, PREPARE TO SUFFER!!! But do not forget that ALL couples suffer, LDR or not!However, like Marie said, if the partners are open with each other, then it will be easier for the couple to enjoy a smooth relationship. This doesn't mean their won't be hard times, but the communication will help you

2006-01-11T11:21:00.000-05:00

When he’s away, you can’t cuddle as much as you want, you can’t run to him when you’re depressed. If like us, you have to put up with time difference, it makes it even worse. Add to that the phone bills if you can’t see each other online and still wanna hear his/her voice.When it is sunny outside and you wanna hang out you have to choose between hanging out with friends (outside, u can see the

1. Joel is a very nice guy, probably the nicest guy in town, not to say in the country. But if he loved another girl I would feel very lonely...2. Joel always pays attention to you and tries not to hurt your feelings. If he loved another girl, I wouldn't be as happy as now with my loving boyfriend...3. When Joel hurts your feelings he says sorry. He even says sorry if he didn't do anythign wrong

Marie called me today when she got out of class, but I didn't get to the phone in time. ^^I called her from my cell, but she didn't pick up either, lol.Luckily, she though her cell rang and she called me back. lol.She sounded very happy, so I guess she was either glad to hear from me, or she did well on her exam, or both. ^^. I love it when her voice is full of happiness and cuteness.I love Marie

Well, I guess you see how sweet Joel can be (if you can't read French, paste it in Babelfish, I am sure you'll get the meaning). If you are not convinced, here is a little convo we had on MSN last Saturday:Marie: well, me sometimes i just feel like buddies and sometimes i feel like jumping on you >.< Joel: no, you're just a girl ^^ sometimes girls need buddies, and sometimes girls need romance. ^
