Happy New Year
Dear Vicky,
Happy New Year! Can you believe how quickly the last one went by? It really fills my heart with joy, thinking back on all the happy months I spent with you. There is so much I am grateful for, you give me companionship and love that makes me truly happy. I have lived more in these past 10 months than I ever did before, and it is all because of you. Darling, I have never been so in love. ♥
I wonder what 2009 has in store for us. Nothing makes me happier than the thought of yet another semester with each other, yet I know my graduation hangs over us like a gloomy specter. Don’t let this get you down, after all, the past year was not without its own trials and tribulations. Some things could have gone better, but darling, just think, things could just as easily have been much, much worse. I am lucky to be alive, and grateful for the chance to be with you.
Hopefully my graduate schools applications will turn out favorably, and I will not end up too far from you. Whatever happens, I am going to visit as often as I can. -hugs- I want you to know that I will always be there for you, to support you and love you. There are rough patches ahead of us, my love, but we will persevere, I promise you that.
So Happy New Year darling, and always be happy. 
Love and many kisses
Eric
P.S. Roo sends his love too! ♥ <- he says it is covered in chocolate.

Merry Christmas
Classes are out for the Winter Break, Vicky is back in Brooklyn with her family. After the finals people packed up and say goodbye, full of joy and cheer, excited to be going home again. It’s a beautiful time, snow covers the ground in a blanket of white, icicles form and hang from the awnings. Song and laughter issue from every home, and lights decorate houses by the thousands. Yes, Christmas is in the air.
Living alone on campus, I don’t get any of that. Winter time for me is a sad time, it’s beauty both cold and bleak. The days are short, and the nights terribly long. When a cold wind blows it chills you, right down to the very bone. It is depressing, coming back every evening to an empty house, and I do so hate cooking for one. I miss the sound of people around the house, I miss the conversations around the kitchen table, and most of all, most painfully of all, I miss my girlfriend.
I won’t lie. I am feeling a little distant from her at the moment. She’s reading the Twilight books I got her for Christmas, and is immersed in a fantasy world I feel a little left out of. When we talk online, she gushes about how beautiful is the love between Bella and Edward, and I can’t help but feel a little jealous. I guess I’m just afraid that, reading about this perfect love, she’s going to feel unsatisfied with me, that she’ll want something more… fulfilling. Sigh, being away from her is so difficult. I miss Vicky so, so much. It’s funny to realize just how much I depend on her for conversation and companionship.
Still, I know she loves me, and that privilege is one I ought to be more grateful for. As we count down the days until we’re together again, I know I’ve never been so in love before. I look forward to, some day, spending many a happy Christmas with her.
So Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy time with friends and family, sing carols and give presents, and do enjoy some Christmas pudding with brandy butter. Let us all be thankful for the love that we receive.

Eric & Victoria Reunited
- Victoria just forcefed Eric some tea candy.. it took quite an effort
- Eric’s been making Victoria seem like SUCH a bad daughter.. doing all the dishes immediately after each meal and all D; and it’s only day 2. Her parents have been nagging at how lazy she is, especially compared to Eric.
- Eric and Victoria have been watching the Olympics with Victoria’s parents.
- Victoria has taken Eric’s mom’s job in rubbing aloe vera gel on his wound
- Eric just scratched out another piece of glass today from his head.
- Eric’s probably really sick of listening to Victoria cheer for certain Olympic teams.
… and squeal when the volleyball is about to drop or when certain swimmers are catching up with others. - Eric’s itching
- She read him bedtime stories !!
- Victoria bought Eric a new wallet!
- …and then Eric paid her back and more by buying her a Coach bag o.o
- They went to the best toy store on earth — FAO ! and got each other a 44″ Penelope&Patrick.
- Eric is always fascinated by the father-daughter interaction, especially the way Victoria always seems to be bullying her dad.
- Victoria does NOT bully her dad. HE bullies HER. ….
- Eric tried his hand (or… well… feet) at DDR-ing under Victoria’s expert tutelage. (He’s very very good for a beginner ;O)
- Eric has to get used to the dry air again, his lips are starting to crack a lil.
- Victoria has been piano-ing.
- Victoria’s mom makes good food, but neither Victoria nor Eric can eat much because of their diet.
- Poor Eric darling is sleepy but refuses to sleep ;(
- Eric has nothing more to say. Both of them are too absorbed with men’s gymnastics.
- Eric just corrected Victoria’s grammar.
- Now they will watch more Olympics.
- Victoria shall end this with.. Victoria loves Eric very much so. <3

5 More Days!
Well, the last few days have certainly been interesting. Cathay Pacific called on Monday to inform me that a flight to the US was available on the 11th. Having been my chief worry over the past two weeks, this news brought great relief to my parents, who were *this* close to buying me a Malaysian Airline ticket.
Victoria was ecstatic at the news, we have been so looking forward to seeing each other again. 3 months is a long, long time to be apart, especially if that 3 months make up half the time you’ve been together! It amazes me, just how difficult the summer has been, how much we have had to go through together. I am glad, so glad, that we are at the end of our long separation.
And better still, after a couple days’ concern about accommodations, it has been decided that I will be staying at Victoria’s house until I return to campus on the 23rd. It is so nice of her parents to put me up for the week-and-a-half. I really must find a way to thank them.
So I shall be flying from Kuala Lumpur at 1.45pm this coming Monday. Will have a 1-hour transit in Hong Kong, and then arrive in New York at 10pm the same day. A long journey, but not overly difficult, my one concern is that I might be held up at the security lines during my short Hong Kong transit.
5 more days until we are reunited. Yes, it will be good to see her again, my heart sings with joy at the thought. ♥ I can’t wait!!

Sleep Well, My Darling
Dear Victoria,
I hope you’re getting lots of good sleep and rest after your long exhausting day out. Really wish I could be there with you… to tuck you in, watch you as you lay peacefully sleeping, making you soup for breakfast….
It really has been a long crummy summer huh? Neither of us really managed to do anything worthwhile. I hate this separation that keeps us apart, and you have no idea how much comfort I derive from just… getting to talk to you everyday, hearing how you’ve been, worrying ourselves over every ache and pain, and doing so much together, even while so far apart.
Thank you baby, for being there for me so much and so often. Can’t wait till I get back, to show you how much I’ve really really miss you. We have so many plans and ideas and little scenes to act out huh. Rawr. You really are the best.
Really wish, that we could put all our cares and worries down, leave everything behind and just live a happy, carefree existence together somewhere far far away. Just you and I, forever and ever and ever. -Sigh- It’s such a beautiful dream. Maybe someday, someday we’ll travel the world in a sailing boat huh?
I love you.
-nuzzle nuzzle-
Can’t wait till Wes… it’s almost like, a promise, that all our little ails and worries will disappear once we get back. But whatever happens, whatever challenges await us still, at least we’ll be facing it together. -hugs-
Love,
The loverboy,
Eric

I Miss You
Dear Eric,
It’s been exactly 70 days..
Sometimes I have this uncontrollable overwhelming helpless feeling
..of just missing you.
Sometimes it gets incredibly hard to bear but thankfully you help ease the longing.
I’ve done almost nothing this summer but pathetically pine away for you each and every single day and night.
Yet we still have to wait… another 36-37 more days until we’re finally reunited again.
I admire those who have to wait a year or two. ..or more.
It’s amazing how love can pull them through, huh?
It’s amazing how love can pull us through 
especially when we’re both so bad at long distance relationships..
But however much longer I’ve to wait, I’ll still do it just for you.
I just can’t wait until you come back..
Then we can finally do everything we said we’d do..
And maybe, just maybe, my physical state of being will return to normalcy.
Heh. I suppose it’s reflecting my emotions for the past two months, eh? :3
Can’t wait till Wes. Maybe.. hopefully.. everything will go back to the way it was.
Rawr. I love you darling.
And I’m missing you more than ever.
Love,
The Emo PMSing Gf,
Victoria

Our 5th Month
So 5 months have gone by since we’ve been together. Kind of interesting to think that almost half of the 5 months have been spent just talking to each other over MSN/gtalk and sometimes over webcam/phone. Though we’re no longer a couple joined at the hip for the summer ;D, our relationship is still as strong as ever.
This month that passed has been so fraught with obstacles. Chief among them being my accident, distressing dear Victoria greatly, delaying my trip back into the US, throwing a wrench into our happy plans. It is as if fate wanted to test us, to see if our love could stand and persevere through a separation lasting as long again as the time we’ve spent together. Yet love will see us through, new plans will be made, and even as I heal we share a promise that ere long we shall be reunited.
Unfortunately, we have to postpone our oh-so-exciting monthiversary date to Aug 17th, when we will most likely be reunited again. Hopefully Eric’s wound will have fully healed and then we could hop all around NYC and stuff ourselves in the most delectable restaurants. =9 We have some fun exciting stuff planned out for the day and then a relaxing romantic walk along the sea at night. Yum. =)
It will be good to celebrate our 6th month together, and we dearly wish that it would be so. Yet that is for the future, and for now we give simple thanks that we found each other, and have held fast in the months past. Never had I thought I’d find true love, it seemed like something that exists only in fairytales and myth. Yet here we are, day by day, living our own little dream-come-true. It is more than I could ever have wished for. ♥
Way to end a sappy note, Eric 
hahaa I love you dear. Happy 5th month! <3

I’m Sorry
My love,
You are my everything, Victoria. I am so very sorry, that these pooey things had to happen and ruin all our happy plans together. OMG it makes me so mad to think that the countdown was getting so low… and then I had to go make a stupid mistake like that and blow it all.
Sigh.
I seem to do nothing but make stupid mistakes.
I really really wish I could be there right now, with you, hugging you as you sleep. I miss that so so much. And I worry about you, I worry that you’re not eating enough, I worry that you’ll fall sick, I worry that I won’t get back soon enough, and it’d break your heart. I worry so much.
You have to be strong for me, darling. Please? I will come back to you as soon as I can, and you can make me drink all the pooey tonic you want. Ok?
I love you, with all my heart.
I really do.
-nuzzle-
Your babyroo,
Eric
