day 73

in the middle of a long and busy day for me. i am packing my stuff because i will be moving to a new place nearer my office. it will be more convenient for me and i could save more (hopefully for my ticket to her) . lots of stuff still to sort into boxes but stopped in the middle of it to watch a basketball game "live"with ying ying :) yes, it would have been great if we would have watched the game together live, sitting next to each other and enjoying the game. but for now, i will be watching the game via live streaming on my laptop while she watches the game live from a suite in staples center :) it just so happened that the camera covering most of the game is right in front of the suite where she is in so we kind of have the same view of the game. i will just use the best of my imagination that we are on a real date watching the sport i love the most :) someday, i promise, we will watch an NBA live game together. not only once but i will be watching games with her as often as possible.

these are the things that you have settle for sometimes since this is the closest you can be to the real thing (although i don't consider this a date since i just decided to watch the game with her an didn't ask her out and i'm not paying for her ticket :p). haha. my list of things that i want to do with her when we see each other just keeps growing. i might have to make a list for real since making a mental note might not be enough. lol. 

one of the things i love about my baby is that she gets out of her way to learn the things i love doing. like basketball...she is so clueless about the game (this might be the point she will disagree if she knew about this blog) but she tries to be updated with the game so that we can talk about it. and i love every bits and pieces of her for that. but it's funny sometimes that she just can't hide her disinterest sometimes...we were talking about basketball while we were driving. i thought she was listening because she opened the conversation but when i looked at her, she was sleeping! LOL! and i love every bit and pieces of her the more for that! :)

in long distance relationships, you grab every opportunity that you can talk and update each other when it presents itself. may it be for a few minutes or for a few exchange of words but nevertheless, she/you got to talk or learn what she/me was doing. you may sometimes want more opportunities. it would always be understandable and a given truth when you miss each other but you have to force yourself to accept and make peace with the fact that not every time you or her would be available. be thankful for every opportunity that comes your way. and i am slowly but surely learning that :) 

as the game is ending, i will also be ending this blog (it was a blowout win for the lakers) and get back to packing my things. but i wish i could drive her home after the game, or better yet, go home to the same place with her. for now, i will just add that to the list of things i want to do with her when we are together. for now, live basketball games with her will have to wait. for now, i will look for more ways to be more patient and learn more about how we can improve our situation :)
