Two Years...

time. the mystical creature that could fly at lightning speeds, crawl to far flung corners, heal various injuries (especially injuries of the heart), and perform many other wonders. this enigmatic beast can be tamed by no one, and especially likes to move at undesirable speeds at all the wrong times.

its sometimes hard to believe how much time has ran by you, slipping away into the blackhole we call the past. only faint memories that escaped the deathgrips of time remind us of the long paths we have all taken to reach our present state of nature.

two years... its been two long(? short?) years since jas and i gave our commitments to each other, with the promise that we'll try - to make the almost-impossible happen, to stay true and fast together through the three years that we'll be apart, separated by 2566 miles of interstate freeways or 2245 miles of open airspace.

we really tried. tried hard, we did. the pains of being apart, the temptation of fun without the other, the loneliness that many college students felt, the ceaseless academic pressure, the rough edges of friends rubbing us sore. the bittersweet meetings of one week or three, rotting restlessly while the other studies or playing to the limit while breaking the bank. you've heard all this before, and so have we repeated this to ourselves time and again.

but still. the amount of time that have simply seeped through our sleeping fingers is simply shocking, to say the least. two years. neither here nor there, yet its still something long enough for us to be proud of ourselves.



thank you dear for the very nice anniversary present, a collage of photos of us travelling, hiking, skiing, kissing, and most imptly, loving.



the girl who never stops showing that she cares...

my belief never changed over this two years. long distance relationships are unhealthy and difficult. those are the facts. LDRs are not recommended for the faint of heart, or weak in love. but despite all this, all shld still hold hope in yourselves. if u believe that u truly love him/her, then u shld just try for it. some succeed, some don't. but who knows, u may be the lucky one.

and to my dear, the one girl who've been with me thru thick and thin and shared my laughters and pains...

there's nothing else to tell you, except that i love you.
and thank you.
