The Long Distance Thing... - Take 2

A couple of years back, I remember the excitement when we were buying stuff like the washing machine, the really huge fridge :) etc to fill in the house that we were going to share with my brother. Little did I know that 2 years from then, I would have had changed my job and had to get my butt kicked off to some foreign land...

But I am extremely thankful (and luckier than most boyfriends) that my baby is so supportive towards my change in career. What more can a guy ask? She was actually the pillars of my strength, steering captain of my fleet and without her support, I wouldn't have taken that plunge.

And now, I am here, in the midst of distant construction sounds, in an empty office taking a breather from work, doing this. What makes my heart ached most is how much I missed my baby - her company and her witty jokes, and the fact that she would have to do the things we used to do together on her own like getting the groceries, cooking dinner and eating it, going to the movies, doing the laundry, and if I go on with the list, this would sound too damn cheesy. But honestly, I didn't know it would be *this* tough - I wasn't prepared at all.

Well, I guess the only consolation I have is that she is also feeling the same way I do some few hundred miles and more away; and my only resolution - to immerse myself in my work 24/7 and earn my reputation in this line while counting the speeding days till I return to my baby again.

So to my baby who is now back in her hometown: always take care of yourself too and be alert wherever you are. You do realize that this overseas-posting for my work will be an on-going trend, even after surviving Dhaka, but forget not that I am here, solely for us, hoping to earn lots and lots, so that we may have a better future, and ooh ooh, that we may one day have lots of filthy cash to spend and travel the seven seas, and taste the glorious food around the globe, starting with Korea and UK :P.

Baby, this distance is nothing to me, for you are always with me in my heart. We need no formula to survive this, just the two of us. This absence, will only make our bond grows stronger :).
