1. The poor guy needs to get up at 5:30am for work tomorrow and he is also sick. Packed lunch for him and hopefully this will make his day.

     

  2. Once again, this is why my man @robby1moore is the best in the whole wide world #love #relationship #couple #sweet

     

  3. I was added to Robby’s family group on Facebook yesterday so I thought I should make a card to wish everyone a Merry Christmas on our behalf. It seems such a big step for them to include me in their family group just because I have never met them in person yet everyone is so welcoming and nice. I honestly can’t wait to meet them in North Carolina next summer!

    Christmas is very special for us. In a magical way, God brought us together through Tumblr last Christmas. And here I am, in Hawaii, waiting for my man to return from sea. Ever since, the most important lesson I have learnt about love is faith. Without knowing what will happen exactly in the future, because I love this person so much, out of no where I got this faith believing everything will work out. And our relationship has been going way better than I could have ever imagined. So here is a post to love, my dearest Robby and many more christmas to come.

     


  4. Big relief

    I told my mother about my man finally. It was something that I was nervous about because I didn’t want her to freak out. 

    But tonight, I told her about his job, his family and how nice he has been to me. Just not where he is stationed.

    My dearest mother sounded happy about it, or at least she approved.

    Big step achieved.

    Trish: Love? Yes. To be in love? No.

     


  6. Tonight is gonna be a long night

    In between chapters of how to teach grammar to non-native speakers, I am reading different things about being the other half of a submariner. It turns out the Internet has a lot of offer. 

    Although I am not his spouse yet, it feels like military spouse 101 really. It tells you everything you need to keep yourself together while your man is away. 

    Some important notes to myself:

    1) No news is good news - do not freak yourself out. 

    I tend to do this a lot when I have been on my own for more than 24 hours. This can be super stressful and cause mood swing. So instead, I read something from the Bible and pray.

    2) Be more than just “OK” when you are on your own.

    Even though I don’t know a lot about the submarine, I do know he works in a cramp and stressful environment. That’s why I need to keep my head up to send him every positive and interesting thing happened around me. 

    3) Learn to appreciate the value of absence

    I think I have been doing a pretty good job on this one. Yes, he will be gone, sometimes for a long time. But the good news is, HE WILL BE BACK. When he is gone, I forget every flaw about him (wait, he has flaws?!) and just remember how amazing he is. When he is back, I do everything to cheer him up so he has something to think of and look forward to whenever he is away. 

    There are more than these on the Internet. But that’s what I got for the night. 

     


  7. You know you have found a good man when all of your friends question you nothing but simply congratulate you.

     


  8. Sure, now that I’m with someone else, now that I’m leaving, it’s all different.

  9. Thoughts on relationship

    “Don’t choose the better man, choose the man that will make you better.” - Chelsea Handler in This Means War.

    I should remember this well to a point I can recite it backwards. This is so true. In the times when I am so hopeless with life and need guidance, I see who are the better ones that will make me stronger.

     


  10. Read this on Facebook today…mhmmmmm….

    When she stares at your mouth
    Kiss her

    When she pushes you or hits you like a dummy cause she
    thinks shes stronger than you
    Grab her and don’t let go

    When she starts cursing at you trying to act all tough
    Kiss her and tell her you love her

    When she’s quiet
    Ask her whats wrong

    When she ignores you
    Give her your attention

    When she pulls away
    Pull her back

    When you see her at her worst
    Tell her she’s beautiful

    When you see her start crying
    Just hold her and don’t say a word

    When you see her walking
    Sneak up and hug her waist from behind

    When she’s scared
    Protect her

    When she steals your favorite hoodie
    Let her keep it and sleep with it for a night

    When she teases you
    Tease her back and make her laugh

    When she doesn’t answer for a long time
    reassure her that everything is okay

    When she looks at you with doubt
    Back yourself up

    When she says that she loves you
    she really does more than you can understand

    When she grabs at your hands
    Hold her’s and play with her fingers

    When she bumps into you;
    bump into her back and make her laugh

    When she tells you a secret
    keep it safe and untold

    When she looks at you in your eyes
    dont look away until she does

    When she says it’s over
    she still wants you to be hers

    When she reposts this bulletin
    she wants you to read it

    - Stay on the phone with her even if she’s not saying anything
    - When she’s mad hug her tight and don’t let go
    - When she says she’s ok don’t believe it, talk with her because 10 yrs later she’ll remember you
    - Call her at 12:00am on her birthday to tell her you love her
    -Treat her like she’s all that matters to you
    - Stay up all night with her when she’s sick
    - Watch her favorite movie with her or her favorite show even if you think it’s stupid
    - Give her the world.
    - Let her wear your clothes
    -When she’s bored and sad, hang out with her
    -Let her know she’s important.
    - Don’t talk about other girls around her
    - Kiss her in the pouring rain
    - When she runs up to you crying, the first thing you say is:
    “Whose ass am i kicking baby?”
