All of those methods are mentioned above, comunicating by phone is the best choice, coz we both can hear our beloved one’s voice. But the problem is my fiance curring living in the country where the condition of communication on phone is not good, it is very expensive for him to give me a ring by direct call whereas it is cheaper for him to call me by using card, but you know the quality is not good, i can’t get all what he says to me due to bad connection of that card. So i, myself choose the way to stay in touch with each others is to email and chat each others.

When fiance was still in Iraq for his military duty, they were not allowed to use YM or any downloadable messenger online. So I discovered this gmail chat. Twas just a pop-up window or just a small box located in gmail window itself.. In short, we were just sneaking out that chance of chatting. Hee.. There were many times he was caught back in Iraq.. Heehee. He used to call me like twice or thrice a week to consume the 100USD worth of call card (expensive eh?).. Btw, they were not allowed to use cellphone, I believe.

When he got back to USA, he had his cellphone and laptop back so we talk via cellphone like 10times per day and exchanging 30 text messages a day too.. Whheeww! When he got his bill, hee hee, he wanted to cancel his trip to manila.. Haha.. Plus if there is a promo for empty text/call cards here in the Philippines, I could have won coz I have tons of call and text card I used for him.. We were so excited for each other.. Hee

But now, now that we both already have internet, cellphone, etc way of communicating, we often talk. I guess, we were both busy with our obligations. Besides, we'll be together soon (by faith).. And, its curiosity that kills the cat.. Hee.. He realized he loves me more now coz Im not demanding for his time.. :)

You were never a mistake. You were my realization.

text messege since neither of us can afford huge phone bills, and calling cards are not always that good with reception with him being stuck at the meantime in a romanian villiage, and texting for us is only 5cents per msg, and we get alot said.

We use internet when he can get to it, when hes in his city, we talk daily online, but there are those rare occations where texting is the thing, oh and once in awhile his grandmother would let him use her phone to make surprise calls to me. :)

Marlon and I text message more too. It's like 15 cents per text message which beats $1.09 per minute from my cell phone. Calling cards are a waste of time and money. He has no internet where he is and it is expensive to call each other but we do the snail mail thing too.

I personally like to talk to him on the phone...so I can hear his voice, hear him laughing, etc. But my Man can not stay on the phone for a long time... it'll irritate him after some time...especially when we started to run out of topics haha... These days, we prefer chatting on Yahoo Messenger. With that, we could chat for more than an hour.
