Ever since I got here in Sydney I've been scouring flea markets, novelty and souvenir shops, and Chinese/ 2 dollar stores for a boomerang with a design that has stars on it for the boyfriend, to no avail. About a couple of weeks ago, I chanced upon a store that sells DIY boomerangs (ok, it was more of paint-it-yourself) and decided to personalise my gift instead. This is how it turned out. Wasn't professionally done but it came from the heart. (♥)
I love watching movies with fairytale endings, but movies like 500 days of Summer and Little Black Book are the real deal. They remind you that life will always get in the way of our perfect lovestory but if you're with the person you're supposed to be with... if your relationship is built on friendship, commitment, and those other LITTLE things that have nothing to do with love, you'll survive! ♥
"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment." — Sarah Dessen (The Truth About Forever)
The stars lean down to kiss you, And I lie awake I miss you. Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere. 'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly, But I'll miss your arms around me. I'd send a postcard to you dear, 'Cause I wish you were here.
I watch the night turn light blue. But it's not the same without you, Because it takes two to whisper quietly, The silence isn't so bad, Till I look at my hands and feel sad, 'Cause the spaces between my fingers Are right where yours fit perfectly.
I'll find repose in new ways, Though I haven't slept in two days, 'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone. But drenched in Vanilla twilight, I'll sit on the front porch all night, Waist deep in thought because when I think of you. I don't feel so alone. I don't feel so alone. I don't feel so alone.
As many times as I blink I'll think of you... tonight. I'll think of you tonight.
When violet eyes get brighter, And heavy wings grow lighter, I'll taste the sky and feel alive again. And I'll forget the world that I knew, But I swear I won't forget you, Oh if my voice could reach back through the past, I'd whisper in your ear, Oh darling I wish you were here.

The boyfriend and I silently celebrated the “1st year anniversary” of getting back together after a year long hiatus. So far we’ve managed to have 2 anniversaries, March 30th (the original and for the 2nd time we got back together) and September 16th (the most recent).
Our relationship, like any other, is a work in progress in spite of the fact that technically we’ve been “together” for a good 8 years already. I say “together” ‘coz we spent half of it apart due to personal circumstances (college, med school, work, quarter-life crisis, 7 year itch, immaturity, boredom, residency, Aus adventure, blah blah).
Eight years of highs and lows, joy and tears, happiness and heartaches – nearly a decade filled with a balanced mixture of emotions and experiences, shared with ONE person.
I may be getting ahead of myself but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I mean, we’ve outlasted about a hundred thousand marriages and relationships (the statistics is unfounded btw), in Hollywood alone, that’s gotta mean something right?
One thing's for sure, it is one of God’s sweetest blessings that I’ll cherish for a lifetime.
" Do not let your
fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the
not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your
soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have
never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists..
it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours." -- Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"
..and Y♥U! :)
