I have been using this blog to be my spiritual reflection, some other times, to write out my distress. For this blog post, I want to do something different. I want to make a special dedication to my boyfriend. While running back from my morning practice today, I realize I wouldn’t be here today, enjoying my everyday life if it wasn’t for him.

Dear my beloved Boyfriend Choong,

As soon as I met you on that little bar corner talking about Whisky, I knew you that were something truly special. You were bragging, kind, and charismatic, and I couldn’t help but be drawn to you. I thought I would dislike you a lot, yet I found myself thinking of you. ( Or maybe because I dislike you, I thought of you ? who knows ) But, never in a million years would I have guessed that now, after all this time, you would mean so much to me.

The funny thing is, I wasn’t looking for you, you just found me. Out of total coincidence, one in a million chance.

As arrogant and as blind as I was, I’m extremely glad that you stumbled into my weird little life and that you became such a big part of it. There are so many wonderful things to thank you for that I don’t even know where to begin. Words will never do it justice, but I will try my best.

1. Thank you for laughing together with me – we have played and had so much fun together. It’s so easy to laugh with you, even through the screen chat, I still find you extra funny that I would laugh at the screen for awhile.
2. Thank you for knowing how to handle me– or at least for pretending like you know how to, and doing an excellent job of it. I know I’m hardest person to deal with, but you settle me down and make me smile in a way that no one else can.
3. Thank you for supporting my personal dream – You have never once complained about my crazy pursuit in life. Dropping everything and start over again. I know no one on earth will feel comfortable if their partners choose to move around so much. Yet, you never stop me. For that I truly appreciated.
4. Thank you for knowing me well – at times, I feel like for some aspect, you know me better than myself. As my ego will stop me from truly objectively looking at myself. Thank you for pointing that out to me.
5. I admired many of your skills – I love how even if you already finished the TV shows, yet you kept on researching about it. I love how thorough you are. I have learned a lot from this, I have learned to support my statements with facts rather just “I feel like so ”
6. Thank you for understand my sense of humor – And laugh generously with me. I know my teasing sometimes makes you uncomfortable, yet you laugh with me and let me continue to do so.
7. Thank you for always holding my hand – You have always keep my fingers warm when it’s cold out. I love it whenever we sat on the car together, you have always show your hand ready for hand.
8. You have forgiven me – Not once but many times, and you never repeated my fault with me. I know I might be the most faulty person on earth, yet you still find your way to forgive me. Thank you!
9. I appreciate the fact that you are not a snob – Because I am a snob – big time! And if you are also a snob, we would find our life very difficult together. I don’t know how and where you found the strength to deal with my Snobbiness and my Chíu-khọ ness. For I, at times, even I cannot accept myself and my ridiculous requirements.
10. We share the love of mountains – I love that I can talk endlessly about how much I love the Himalaya with you. And I love that you have the same love as me.
11. Thank you for at times, you have really listened to me – When I ask you to, or when I tell a story or when I explain my opinion and cannot find the words to describe it. I want to give up. Yet, you were really patient, guide me through again, tell me to calm down to try to explain my thoughts. I have always had difficulties translating my thoughts into words, and I appreciate for guiding me and patiently waiting for me till I form the right word for it.
