A love note and goals for tomorrow

Hi everyone!

How was your weekend? Mine was great; I saw my cousin, saw my friends, cooked with my mom, watched the winter olympics, and relaxed. It was neat.  I  hope you all had a wonderful Valentines day in company of your sweeties and/or friends. 

I want to leave a message in here for my Valentine. His name is Mauricio. As some of you may know, he lives in Peru ( I don't put many pictures of him here because he's one of those personal-life-privacy fanatics. I try to be obedient :P). He does visit my blog often. Next time he reads it, he'll find a little love note... 

Have you heard the saying "Absence is to love as wind to flame, it extinguishes the weak and feeds the strong"?

I believe in it. Just wanted to tell him I love him and that the sacrifice we've made for nearly 6 years, I feel, is going to be worth it. :)  I'm so thankful for having him in my life <3 even with 5000 miles between us.

Ok, and now I need to write something and make myself do it! For example, I've been skipping the gym lately since before the holidays using excuse after excuse, one of them being the cold weather.  Go back to the gym Marcela! Image above depicts it all very well... sweets, coffee, daydreaming, all except exercise. I also need to be a better e-mail responder. Let's just see what my short-term goals, more specifically tomorrow ones, are:

- going to the gym

- writing back to at least two people whom I owe e-mails to

- not get back into bed with the alarm clock (my cell phone) in my hands

- read more pages from my current book

- ignore the guy that passes everyday with his extremely loud motorcycle in front of my office 

That's all for now. :) I'll let you do if I improve in anything else!

See you tomorrow loves...

Far In Distance, Near At Heart

My boyfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for a little more than 5 years. And I'm not talking about a 2 hour drive (which a lot of people complaint about and I don't get it!), but about being 5000 miles apart. I am not sure how we do it; I think time has made us stronger and we are a bit used to it by now. I see him twice a year usually, and I was just with him in Venezuela for 9 days. Now I miss him again, but I think the day when we will be close to each other is coming soon. So what's a few more months, right? Almost there!

If you are in one, hang in there! It's a hard, but very special test to pass. I want to write more about it, so I'll try to come up with ideas on what to post. Hugs!

1st Post & A Note On Long Distance Love

After some thinking, I've decided to start a blog. I am not sure about the main topic yet, since I like many things. But to start off, I wanted to mention that long distance relationships will probably be something that I will talk about often. It has been something that I've experience for the past 5 years and I am willing to answer any questions to those who need some support or advice in the matter. I am not an expert, but I can certainly give some tips or help you find a website where there are even more people who will help you. If you'd rather just talk to one person though, write me a note! I will post phrases and other helpful links shortly. Thanks for stopping by!

If you have someone you love, enjoy what you have, even if it's far away... distance will be temporary, and once you 2 are back together, your love will be stronger :)
