Iam not sure if there is already a topic about this..but anyway, I just want to share mine.

A long distance relationship is really hard and a constant communication with my fiance really helps me to survive for 6 years.

1. We talk every weekend/holidays on chat (I always make sure I dont have a schedule in the afternoon).

2. I call him everyday to wake him up. We chat on phone while he`s driving to work.

3. He calls me everyday after he leaves work and while driving on his way home.

4. We send each other text messages in the evening before he goes to bed or when I/he is out of the house (party, malls, school, etc.)

5. For 4 years we sent each other emails tons. We stop now because we prefer communications on phone.

6. I even communicate with him even while he`s sleeping. He just leaves his webcam open so I can watch/hear (love to hear his snores, makes me fall asleep) him while he`s sleeping and he does the same thing while I`m sleeping.

He`s always telling me that he talks to me more than he does with his family. Haha. I believe him. I know it is so expensive to make all the calls but hearing each other`s voice helps us to feel that there`s not much distance between us. It shouldn`t be talking about different/new topics because we usually run out of those, but we`re always reminding how much we love/miss and care for each other. What really matters is the happiness that we feel every time we hear/see (webcam) each other for as often as we can.

Well, hope to hear from you guys. :)

Hmmmm...lemme see...

Yahoo Messenger

***we talk over YM everyday...im alwasy online 24/7, he can send me messages and I can receive it on my phone and we can chat while im out.

***we don't leave our webcam open if we are sleeping, but we do open it when he or me is taking a bath (LOL)

***sometimes we don't want to chat, and we just don't feel like typing...we just leave our webcam open and I can see him doing his thing and I doing my own business.

EMAILS

***I send him Love Letters or Video of myself thru emails every freaking day (I'm already on my Love Letter# 587, guess his inbox is full of emails of his wifey..hehehe)

***he sends me emails when he feels writing one (too lazy) especially when he's mad at me or when he did something wrong..hehehe

TEXT MESSAGES

***I don't text him everyday, just when I want him to know that I miss him and that I love him or when I'm asking something. (charges in US is expensive)

CALL

***this is the reason I'm broke..since charges in the US is very expensive I volunteer that I will be the one calling him, I'm on Post-Paid Plan on Sun (only 4/per minute) sometimes when they cut it off because of credit limit (lol) I use Globe TipIDD card (nag-endorse pa e...hehehe)

PACKAGES

***Every month I do a sort of a Music Video with our pictures and songs that we both love. Sometimes I send it thru courier, but most of the time I ask his friends from the army who is living in the Philippines and visiting the PI to just give it to him. or my friends from the states, coz its much cheaper if they send it to him..some of them never let me pay for the courier fee...(good thing I have friends there...hehe)

We are both so busy with our works that we only talk during weekends.

Even though we go to different countries for business trip, we would try to schedule our business trip at same time. We would find common country to meet and spend long weekends together.

During his business trips to asia, he would drop by in the philippines just to see me.

:devil: about the webcam open while....

yup! I registered my phone too through YM. It`s cheaper than directly on phone. We too just sometimes do whatever we want (he play games with his Iphone and read forums here, etc) and leave the cam open. Before I do use purely pre-paid cards for call and it is sooo pricey to call to the US but now I use either Skype or YM but only limitation is I can only call him when Iam home. But he`s using a cell phone card that is cheaper...like 5 or 7 cents a minute..not sure what though. For packages, it is a bit expensive because I use FedEx to get in the US faster. Most of the time, I buy gifts just a week before bday, xmas, etc.

Hmmmm...lemme see...

Yes. He did the same thing when he had a business trip in Japan. It`s only four-hour flight from here so he decided to see me for 9 days even though it`s not really planned. :)

We are both so busy with our works that we only talk during weekends.

Even though we go to different countries for business trip, we would try to schedule our business trip at same time. We would find common country to meet and spend long weekends together.

long distance relationship is really hard and a constant communication with my fiance really helps me to survive for 6 years.

excuse me, may I ask? why in the hell it took for 6 years for you to communicate before you reunited?... plenty of time wasted. :unsure:

. I call him everyday to wake him up. We chat on phone while he`s driving to work.

Tell your fiance he should be careful, talking on the phone while driving is a dangerous thing to do. just be sure he is safe. ;)

Nothing much I can share..I'm sure every one here has the same story while in LDR. waiting for the process will be done, long distance calls,chatting on the computer, missing each other terribly, etc etc etc.. nothing much going on, or nothing new. :whistle:
