Hello Everyone....Actually i'm not new here ...

[yam]

Hello good day....

Actually I'm not new here. I was a member here long time because my friend Iain and Louella were recommending me to sign up here but i didn't come online here often. I'm from Cebu Philippines I'm working as an ESL teacher to Korean students. Three months ago my friends Iain and Louella who are living in the UK had introduced a guy to me named Simon .Who's living in the Isle of Man.Simon had experienced problem with the relationship with a filipina he met in hongkong . My friend told me that he gave him advices about his problem and ended up introducing me to him. I told my friend that it's okay for me and interested to know him as well. My friend gave him my YM ID and after that we exchanged phone numbers each others and we had a constant messaging everyday,at that time i knew that he's still experiencing heartaches about the former GF and so i gave him advices as well and we became good friends.Before i slept and woke up in the morning he's the person i always talked to.I got used to see his message it made me smile.He told me that time that he'd like to go for a holiday here in the Philippines .Supposedly he would come to the Philippines to meet the woman that i mentioned above but eventually he changed his mind he came to the Philippines to see me and no one else.He told me that he ended up his relationship with the woman and he wanted to see me instead. I was glad about it because i was eager to see him as well.He came here 2 weeks ago April 27. For two weeks we spent time together 24 hours a day, I toured him here in Cebu City, to the south of Cebu as well and went for a trip to another island called Bohol my uncles place and most of all he celebrated his birthday May1 here and met my family, friends and relatives. He enjoyed his birthday and i was happy also to see him that he's happy during that day after the great troubles he had experienced before and i was so touch when he told me that it was the best birthday he had experienced.Actually i planned that birthday party the day when he told me that he would come to see me because even though i didn't meet him yet at that time i felt that he's really a nice guy even if we just texted each other. I could sense he's a nice person.

The sad day came when he needs to leave. I was feeling hard at that time and this times i felt a little okay but still i miss him alot. We both cried when he left. U know in my mind and in my heart i didn't want him to leave but he needs to.I really miss Simon now very much. I feel that i fell in loved with him.I knew he felt the same thing as what i'm feeling now . He said he would come to see me again this December and that I'm looking forward to see him again. He arrived in his place yesterday and these times we have a pretty good communication. At this moment I'm trying to get a personal computer so that we can chat and see each other often when we want to. I really miss him and want to be with him...................I know this distance relationship that we have now is just a trial of our relationship. I trusted him that he'll come back to see me this year as what he told me. All i am feeling at this moment is that i really miss him alot..........

Hi! Well, ok my username on here is DaveUK (long story!), I'm the Simon Yam talks about! For those that might recognise my name from a few months ago, you'll have probably figured out that the former GF Yam mentioned was the very one that spawned my very first posting on this forum.

That period of my life was pretty bad, and the advice and encouragement from everyone on this site helped a lot! Luckily for me, as Yam has said, Iain e-mailed me and told me about her. The rest of what happened is as she has said! :-)

I had a great 2 weeks in the Philippines and my birthday was the best I'd ever had! It was the first time anyone I know had specially made me a birthday cake instead of paying someone else to do it! That meant a LOT to me! Although if my Mum is reading this, please don't take offence Mum! :-)

[Louella]

to both of you, Miriam & Simon, all the best of luck! Long distance relationship is not easy but true love will endure. Take care!

Louella & Iain

[IainBusby]

[sweet_cookie08]

Hi Yam,

Welcome to this forum :)

Long distance relationship is really hard to deal with and painful, but your relationship will surely succeed if you truly love each other. My hubby and I thought we won't be able to make it because it is our first time to have long distance relationship like this. But you know if you are truly meant for each other, no hurdles or obstacles that you two couldn't overcome. You two just need to TRUST each other.. that is the main ingredient to make your relationship work even if you are 10,000 miles apart. Keep the love burning always. :) :) :)

[LEAHnew]

[aposhark]

I was starting to wonder if most Brit-Fil relationships were full of problems :icon_lol:
Nice to know that two people are making each other happy.
It is so easy to be negative and skeptical and it is great to see some happiness. Well done both of you :BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy:

[KeithD]

Folk here generally publish long posts if they have a problem, same goes for complaints on the internet about products. All you do is divide the number of folk active on here, by the number of those who have published a problem, and it gives you the relationship of happy couples....and it's very high.

Buy an iPod, it breaks, call customer service, no answer, you are straight on the internet to publich a bad review, put up a forum post complaining.....however, buy an iPod, works as it should, you don't rush on to praise the company do you?

[paulgee]

Welcome to the forum both of you, best wishes to you.

I do praise where its due and moan like hell when needed.

Feedback is the ony way people and companies know how and where to improve.

[andypaul]
