little by little

"... And one by one the nights between our separated cities join with the night which makes us one...."
-- The Captain Verses by Pablo Neruda

our wedding preps are currently at a snail's pace, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's going to pick up soon. of course it doesn't help that before i elicit a reaction from aldo about something wedding-related, it takes him 2 days thanks to the time difference.

there are days i get a tad bit envious of engaged couples who have the luxury of preparing for their wedding together - not relying on websites, digital photos or on e-mail - but visiting shops, feeling wedding stationery, and talking to suppliers in person.

on days like these, i find comfort in knowing that if the world was one big country, then it wouldn't be so irritating.

current mantra: if we've lasted as long as we have, then another year of paperwork, wedding preps, and travel schedules won't hurt.

*sigh* the consequences of being in a long distance relationship.

on the bright and chirpy side... looking at the calendar is now more exciting than it used to be. it is no longer a time-conversion exercise for me, but now a countdown. in exactly 2 months, aldo and i will be boarding different planes to one destination: manila (it'll take him 2 days, while it'll take me 3 hours).

then the real work begins.
