It started from an online-love to a long distance relationship + This is my life!

Just like the title of this post, that is how my relationship with my boyfriend started. I know that this is very different from my previous posts or posts that I've been known for, such as fashion & makeup posts. However, today, I just wanted to be open with you guys (my lovely readers) about this amazing and special story about my life & about how me and my boyfriend really met.

I've actually blogged about our love story the beginning of this year, when I didn't have that much followers. But, now, I actually want to share this special story and amazing journey with you guys.

So, if you're interested, please CLICK HERE to read how me and my boyfriend really met each other. 

Anyways, it's been almost 2 years since we met & it's been already 1 year and 1 month since we got together. It hasn't been the easiest, nor has it been the hardest, but I'm just incredibly thankful & blessed to have met and known someone like him. I've gone through some tough times within this lifetime, but not as tough as he's been through. 

He has been my rock, my best friend (for that matter, my only true friend that I can ever depend on) 

Some of you guys know me as this cheerful person who lives, breaths makeup and fashion. However, what you guys don't really know is who I really am deep inside. I am a person who is full of insecurities, but at the same time, a person who is filled with dreams and aspirations. I am a person who constantly struggles to make something of myself. I am someone who cries when nobody is looking just so people won't see that certain vulnerability. I am a person who never gives up and stands strong with my head held high, but at the same time, I do get easily knocked down & get hurt. 

After I met Jae (my BF), my life didn't drastically change, but the way I see things, now is much clearer than before. Sure, we still don't agree on a few things, but that's just how it is. We don't try to force each other to change, but there are circumstances where one has to step in and be that motivation for a good change. 

Honestly, I don't know why I'm sharing this to all of you guys. I don't even know if you guys can relate or can understand where I'm coming from, but I guess, I just really want you guys to know the real me. 

I also, want to dedicate this post to my boyfriend who has always been there with me every step of the way. He has helped me grown so much! He has never sugar coated things for me and by him doing that, I am able to learn how to cope with things a lot better. And even though, we are not physically together most of the time, his heart and my heart are and will forever be next to each other, always. 

I LOVE YOU, BABE!

Anyways, here are videos with the both of us:

BOYFRIEND TAG!!

SAY YOU LOVE ME!!

I Found Love, Online

the first time we met --may '09

This may sound insane, but others won’t really know how it feels like until they're there. So, here's a story about a guy and girl who falls madly in love after meeting at "Safeway" (as me & the BF call it) but it's really..after meeting at Cyworld >> it's like myspace for asians. lol!

Others might think, “oh it’s never going to last” or “it’s not going to work out” or “it’s impossible, it’s just infatuation and not love” or “how could you say you love them if you’ve never met them?” And sure, some of these statements or questions maybe true however, this I ask in return, “HOW COULD YOU BE SO SURE IT’S NOT GOING TO LAST OR WORK OUT? WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE IT’S JUST INFATUATION AND NOT LOVE? AND, WHAT ARE THE RULES IN ORDER TO LOVE SOMEONE? NONE!”

I personally believe that Love Conquers All. It doesn’t matter where you meet or what circumstances you go through in order for you to get where you are now. Love isn’t measured by a ruler, a measuring stick or by mileage. Love is measured by God’s perfect timing.

To me, I think that love is something much deeper than what people think of it as. Love isn’t based on how long you’ve known a person, because even if you’ve known someone for more than 5 years or over 50 years it doesn’t mean that love will just blossom just because of that certain aspect. Love hits people at the most unexpected times. With my own personal take on this…Honestly, I’m the kind of person whose guard is taller than the Great Wall of China. I never and I mean never let anyone too close to me to the point where they can figure me out or let alone me falling in love with them. I’m the kind of girl who can suppress my emotions and seem strong all the while being just that vulnerable.

People who know me well (which is only a handful) know me as a girl who never lets her guard down for anyone. I don’t just hold guys away with a yardstick; I hold them away at least a 100 miles. With the thought of never loving anyone again until the time is right. This is why I find it so crazy now, how I fell in love with this person.
So some might ask, “What makes him so different that made you fall in love again?” And to that I say, “EVERYTHING!”

He is different because even if we’re similar in a lot of ways, we still both believe on what we believe in and we stand up to those beliefs unwaveringly. He is someone I can have debates with regarding religion, abortion, homosexuality or what have you but even though our stands differ, we somehow reach a common ground and let each other be. He is someone who cares and loves me despite of my many imperfections. They say, God is Love and Love is God & how they say, all of us are made in the images of God. Well, I love him because I see a little piece of God in him. The way he cares for me even though it doesn’t show through words, I feel it! It’s as simple as that. Kind of like a scene in the movie “A Walk to Remember”, Mandy Moore’s character, Jaime tells Landon “God is like the Wind, you don’t see it but you feel it.” which also correlates our kind of love.

I love this person purely because of who he is. He is an amazing person inside and out, someone who in the past used to not be able to open his emotions to people but somehow was able to open up to me. I love him because I don’t have to try, I could just be myself (including my alter egos etc. lol) and he still loves me regardless. I love him because he believes in me. I love him because for the first time, I wasn’t so scared of loving because it is him who I’m loving this time around.

This may sound insanely out of this world, but truthfully, I don’t care about anyone’s opinions regarding this matter. I’m just saying coming from two people who used to be the biggest anti E– relationships (meeting online)

LOVE KNOWS NO DISTANCE, LOVE HAS NO BOUNDERIES, LOVE CAN CONQUER ALL.

I LOVE YOU JAE LEE <3

정말 사랑해

*PS. I wrote this in my Cyworld on April 7, 2009 & FYI for those who are curious, me & jae have met in person many times now (funny factoid is that, neither of us had ever met up with someone we just met online besides each other) anyways, even though we have a long distance relationship...it's still amazing, i just love him more and more each day & i can't wait to see him again in march :]
