The past few weeks have been a little rough on me.. Getting trodden all over by Pathology and ravaged by developmental osteology and athrology. My only salvation is to indulge in my little rambles through the events of life..
These days, I have been thinking about the actions we could take to keep or maintain relationships from a faraway distance. I did ask around and here is my2 cents worth..
The following are what were on my list; (some are funny but I assure you these are real...)
1) Chat with them every night. Make sure to include an account regarding every move or event. Be as complete as possible.. Include the description of one's breakfast, lunch and dinner. Remember that this is a thorough account and so, details of the surroundings needed to be included too. Especially regarding the company one was with for a particular event. Looking at this, made my memories of reporting my duties to my drill sergeant less traumatic.. =)
2) Watch a movie together! Surprising as it may sound.. It is possible.. Even though both parties are like a miles away, you can be together in 'spirit' or 'mind' by doing the same thing at exactly the same moment. Both parties could rent/download a movie and synchronously watch the movie together by hitting the play button at the same time.
3) Put the webcam on 24hrs 7 days a week. The idea would be something similar to the concept in the movie 'The trueman show" acted by Jim Carey or the more locally acclaimed - "Big Brother". One could talk and see each other anytime of the day and the best thing of them all is that you could see each other sleeping at night.. How Romantic!! Make sure to get a good ISP for this one.. =)
After it all, it got me thinking...
Man.. No wonder I couldn't maintain a relationship if its being tested by distance.
I don't think I could ever do any one of those things.. Hahaha..
For those who actually did those things as I listed above.. I hope you don't get offended alright.. I intend it to be a harmless fun.. In fact, KUDOS to you.. I admire your unflagging efforts and the commendable commitment to a relationship..
=)

Sorry but this entry sounds like a bad case of sour grapes to me. Just because your distance relationship didn't work out who is to say that others' won't?
Isn't a relationship about trust, understand, support and commitment? What better way to test your commitment, trust, understanding and support for each other than when you are apart?
There are couples who are in the same country and yet their relationship still didn't work out.
It's just a matter of how much "trouble" or effort you want to take to maintain the relationship that's all. If you are committed and care for the person you will. If you do not want to be "bothered" with the effort than that just goes to show how little commitment and care you have for that person in the first place and how little you value the relationship. So if that is the case, even if you live next door to the person, your relationship will not work out long term anyway...
Anyway don't live life in such pessimism okay. :D
