FRUSTRATED ROCKSTAR NO MORE!!!

I'm back! After the Holiday break and a very long time of not caring to post, I think It's high time and the right time to share some of the blessings I got and "have"...

As most married couples experience, the husband or the wife usually has problems dealing with their Father or Mother-in-Law(Or so I hear.. Is this True?). The spouse needs time to get-to-know the parents of their partner.. And the cliche "First Impressions" really do hold true.. Sometimes you "click"(get along)-(for those who are slow) with both of them or none at all, or sometimes you click with one of them.. And to be honest(it's the new year after all)(start the new year right-so they say) I clicked with both of them..

But (hehehe here we go with the "buts")due to First Impressions and what we hear from other mouths, I clicked with one of my In-Laws immediately but ultimately clicked with the other when the dust settled.. And I could never thank her enough for the support she has given us(Me & Wifey). (hmmm her? she? well I guess it's no secret now heheheeheh). Thanks again Mom... And of course, thanks Dad.. You made me feel at home and made me feel welcomed.. "This is one of the greatest blessings that I realized this year".. And of course, how could I forget Wifey's Aunt(Mom-in-law's sis) and Uncle and their family, which I literally got close too..

GOING BACK TO MY TITLE... (*EXCITED MODE*)

Guess what my favorite In Law just gave me?

TANTANAAAAANNNNNN!(*suspense mode*)(drum roll please)

Heheheeh prolonging the agony...

If you could remember my previous post Frustrated Rockstar If ever you read it... well I may not be frustrated no more...

Here goes!!!!A brand new electric guitar! Complete with amps and the "works"...
This would be my second electric guitar, the first which I disposed off was a secondhand unit that I bought with my saved college allowance.. Now I have two (2) guitars. this new one and a ProMartin Acoustic guitar. ROCK ON!!!!
Frustrated Rockstar no more indeed!!!!
Being a Rockstar is just a state of mind! I may not have the other benefits that come with it (fame, fortune, "groupies" boss?) heheeh but deep inside I still feel Like One!!!

SO ROCK ON!!!!!!!!

SCAREDY CAT!

I'm not in a posting mood right now... with the effects of alcohol still lurking in my veins and in my hypothalamus.. but I'm pretty bored with wifey far away so I would like to share this picture I took with my phone.. this post is just outside the window of wifey's house and whooahhh is that a cat? heheheh Shine, Sly and Raven chased this cat up this post the night before.. and when I woke up the cat was still there with the dogs still watching her below.. I'm pretty sure the cat did'nt sleep a wink heheheh but if you look at the picture more closely you'd see a bird on the electrical wire looking on at the cat... you could only guess what is on the mind of this bird... not to mention the cat... hahahah

Happy Birthday Pyertubs

I don't know how to say this especially since quite a few might read this entry. I'm sorry for not being there with you right now. Sometimes, life isn't fair at all but at times, it cannot be avoided. I know you understand what I mean.

Where do we go from here? I've thought about that constantly since the time that I left. After every thing that we have been through it seems that fate takes cruel pleasure in tearing us apart. I think you know what I mean. But despite all the heartache and struggle, fate was kind to us, albeit for only a few months.

Perhaps there is a purpose for this separation. I know the first time we were apart made us closer than we were before. It made us see our relationship in a different light and strengthened our love for each other.

I am not surprised to see that despite the distance, our love is still as strong as ever; maybe even stronger. It might seem like such an insignificant thing right now, but all our short talks almost daily is the highlight of my day. Your short messages, a ray of light to my somewhat dreary life.

I know I may sound so melodramatic but that's exactly how I feel. I sometimes stop and think about how I got so lucky to meet you. It seems like yesterday when we first went out together and yet it seems like I've known you for ages. You might not know it but I am proud to stand by you as your wife.

Our life may not be as perfect as what we would have wanted it to be but I know we can make it perfect. Sooner or later, we would be blessed and get what we deserve and I hope that it would be more than what we hoped for.

I may be melodramatic boss, but hey, we complement each other. I love you boss. Happy Birthday.

You and no other, the heart conquers all.

Long Distance Relationships

Long. Distance. Relationship. Those are three words that couples dread hearing. Picture this: person 1 is in the Philippines while person 2 is somewhere on the other side of the world. Mind boggling, I know but this phenomena is occurring to a lot of couples. Reasons for having LDRs (Long Distance Relationship) may vary but one thing remains a common denominator: it is difficult.

A lot of couples these days are forced to live apart to secure a better future for their family. Philippine economy has taken a drastic fall these days and prices have gone sky high. Families need to struggle to make ends meet and find other forms of sideline or work on the side just to get through the month: just like living from paycheck to paycheck. Other people are even selling off bodyparts and/or organs (and heaven knows what else!) just to have a quick fix to their current problems.

Maintaining a relationship is difficult enough and adding distance to the equation makes it even more difficult. I may not know statistics (they're just numbers anyway) regarding this phenomena but I know a lot of people who are going through this predicament right at this moment. Heck, I am one of those who is trying to make a long distance relationship work.

For some, LDRs are convenient. I mean, who doesn't want to have a stable relationship (of some sort) and still claim that he/she is single? It's complicated but many have been doing this for a long time. Some are married but when they leave their town, city, or even country; they start using their "single" persona. Scary, isn't it? We never know if a person we meet on the street is married or not! Heck, some might even date them, or worse, marry them! Not everyone wants to shout out loud that they aren't available. Although, I am not saying that everyone wants to have an illusion of being single.

Some even think that LDR fights are a breeze. You don't hear the nagging voice of a wife or the angry yells of a husband all night long. You can just turn off your cellphone, be invisible on your YM, yank the cord of your landline phone and you're all set. No one can reach you at all: especially your partner! Unfortunately, these antics can give you a one-way ticked to splitsville. Honestly, this isn't a good way to solve fights.

My hubby and I have been apart for almost three months now. That's even longer than we have lived as a married couple! True, we have been dating for almost seven years before we went ahead and tied the knot, but that is not the same as being married. Sure, we seldome have fights and we call each other everyday but it's still not the same.

Undoubtedly, modern technology has made our relationship work out fine so far. It is also quite easy to send a text message to my hubby just to tell him that I am thinking of him; he does the same as well. True, it can never compare to the real thing but we have to find other ways to show that we care.

Why am I blabbing about my marital problems? all over the blogosphere? No, I am not asking for your pity but I just want to let you know that this blogger, is trying to make a long distance relationship work.

I also want to share this article How to Make a Long Distance Relationship Work. Just hop over there and read.
