How I met my boyfriend

Hello my dear readers! ♥ As I said in my last post, this time I'm gonna write about how I met Peter. As you guys must know by now, Peter is my boyfriend and my other half! We've been dating for a year and a half now, and we're proud of how our LDR (Long Distance Relationship) is working so far. I want to share my happiness with you guys, so... Hope you guys enjoy my love story! Here we go...!



It all started the 28th October 2011. I was on my way to Jihyeon's birthday party, a Korean friend of mine living in the city. She had invited us to a party in her apartment, so I told my best friend Esther and I convinced her to go together. Sunjung (another friend) had said to me: "Yeah don't worry, I'll invite an American friend of mine so you don't get bored", and I thought "Great! Someone to practice English with!". When we get there our Korean friends had prepared some yummy food and we started eating ^_^

(I'm sorrounded by Koreans, lol!)

1h later (when I had forgotten that American friend of Sun) someone joined the party. He was an average-size Asian, brown skin and slanted eyes... People seemed to know him, so all I did was staring him from the distance (yes... Love at first sight, my readers! ♥) . Once he recovered himself after 1h and a half walking and finding the way to Jihyeon's apartment (lol) he kind of saw I was looking at him... I can't remember how, and when... But we ended up talking that night.

(I have proof! My bestfriend was c*ckblocking me in this shot though, haha).

Two days later we had a Halloween Party, and well... We had our first date 4 days later ^_^ ♥♥

"My crush is kind of derp looking, but I don't care c:"

He was an exchange student in the city and he was going to stay until December (and November had just started! Q_Q)! I just said to myself "There's no way he falls for me in a month and a half... I should give up..." but he seemed interested in getting to know me more, so I didn't say no *giggles*

Everyone teased us all the time, they were all like "Aww you guys are so meant to be!" but I kept denying it all. But you see this picture? You see my right hand and his left hand...? We were holding hands under the table ^//////^

He went back to the US, but I couldn't stop thinking about him. So we decided to start a long distance relationship. I started saving up so I could visit him in July 2012 :)

Writing his name in snow, Paris (Feb 2012).

We started swapping packages with sweets and small stuff <: That was my first package from him! He sent me tons of Skittles, Doritos... And Mameshiba: Our beloved green pea-dog^_^

And finally... We met again in Baltimore, the 27th June 2012 :)

This year it's been his turn to come over, so we've waited a whole year to see each other again. We swapped packages in special occasions too (Birthdays, Valentine's, Christmas...), some love letters as well... And well, as you should've seen in my last posts, we're had the best summer ever! (:

Now we just made this video about our long distance relationship. He was supposed to leave home on Thursday but his flight got cancelled, so I thought... "Now that we have the chance, why not working on a video about us and our relationship?" So there you go, dearies! Hope you like it, and thanks for watching! ^_^

(PS. Sorry for the low quality video, but right now I didn't have either my DLSR and/or my laptop with me >_<)

(PS2. FYI he's not shorter than me lol he was sitting in a matress while recording the video... XD)

See you in a year ;) ♥

CL ♥ Pete

Last days with my loved one

Peter is going back home in a week, awww D': That's why I don't stop taking pictures of us and the places we visit. I use his iPhone of course since the quality is way better than my shitty Galaxy I'm going to get rid of once I arrive to Korea lol Yesterday we went to a very special spot in the city, a place I talked about in another post . This place is super special to us, as it's the place I took Peter to in our first date. Well, we were friends by that time so I don't know if it should be considered a date XD Also it was the day when we both realised there was something special between us, that we had good chemistry :) Well, 2 years later we visited the place again.

We mainly took selfies tbh haha (We've both been to the place before, and well... We're not going to see each other in a year, so >_<) 

OH HERRO PEE TUH.

Hehehehehe <3

We ate out most of the days as well, since we don't feel like cooking in summer hahahaha.  We went back to my campsite in the weekend, we had a great time with my friends and family again ^^ This time we had the special company of Daniela, my cousin's 2 year-old daughter! We all played with bubbles and tried to teach her how to blow them. She always blew too hard and she got mad every time though >.<

My uncle (&her grandpa!) 

Peter and I tried to teach her too, but she was way too focused on doodling the road with chalk haha

Fly, fly to the sky...!

We joined her later and we drew a "swaggy zone" on the road... She seemed to like it haha

I tried to get in too lol

I'm an artist (?)

*sigh* My Petey! 

That night we have a special meal for dinner... Grilled sardines and mussels, yumyum! My uncle is a BBQ master, so he made sure we all enjoy them :B

We also had  a special sauce made of olive oil, garlic and parsley...

 Our beloved "gazpacho"...

 Fresh sardines...

...and mussels! ♥ ♥ ♥

Peter's finally going back home on Thursday. I have to confess these days I've been very moody, due to obvious reasons. Being in a long distance relationship isn't easy at all, but well... No one said it was easy! He had a great time in Spain, and I'm happy we spend those five weeks together. I'm happy we both invest so much on our relationship, and that's what it matters. It's gonna be difficult going back to our Skype&mails routine, but we have no choice! As I said, we both have things to do :) I think I've never written about my relationship with Peter, so I'll write a post about us very very soon.

Hope everyone's enjoying summer! Once again, thanks for reading! Hope you all have a lovely August ^_^

Love,

CL  ♥

Oh Paris, oh Paris...

Sorry for this super late post! Yes, I know it's been a long time I don't update this, and I blme myself for not doing it! But honestly I'm living in a fairytale right now haha, so I barely step into my place anymore. My boyfriend Peter came to visit two weeks ago and we're always going up and down, visiting places, eating out and such... I'm having a great time with him, I don't want to imagine howit's gonna be my life without him again! He lives in my place at the moment, so it's going to be tough going back to my routine :\ 

Back to fairytales and rainbows (haha), last week I visited Paris with him :) We both had visited the city before, but separately, so this time we bought a cheap flight  fromanairlineIdon'treccomend (ahem ahem) and we spent 3 days there ^_^ 

(I dipdyed my hair by the way! ^_^ Can you guys tell? Haha)

Louvre museum

We had Indian food our first night! Curry frog legs for sharing, curry lamb with basmati rice for Pete and lamb biryani for me!

The next day we went to the famous shopping mall Lafayette. It's rather a luxury mall just like Harrods, but it's way more impressive in the inside *0* Isn't that crystal dome beautiful?

I was a simple Spanish peasant there lol, but Pete took a picture of me with a CHANEL bag, hahaha XD (He bought perfumes for his family).

Later that day we decided to spend the money in a real & fancy French dinner. So we went to Île-Saint-Louis, an island in the middle of the Seine to have a good meal. Before that we walked around the tiny island, known for its beautiful tiny shops & bars.

We ate some super-duper delicious ice creams before dinner ^_^ Paris is definitely not an ice-cream country but omg, those were definitely worth it! <3 I picked peach and Pete picked praliné.amaretto

Our fancy French dinner: Salad as a starter,Beef bourguignon for Pete and salmon in champagne sauce for me.

Then we walked around for a little bit more, and we shared a sugar crÊpe :)

Beautiful sunset from the island <3 *sigh*

The third day was also our last day, awww :( We got up early because we wanted to see many things before leaving to the airport. We started with a fancy French breakfast ^_^ I bought a "croque monsieur" and Pete bought the most creamy and delicious "quiche lorraine" we have ever had *-*

You see how thick and creamy it is?wergthyjukjhgfreds

His quiche was utterly delicious but I picked something lighter for breakfast ^-^

Then we went straight to the must of Paris... The worldwide-known Eiffel Tower ^_^

There was a very quite and beautiful park in the sorroundings of the monument,  with security guards walking around the area (unlike the way to the metro, which was full of scammers and trickers playing threee-card monte and stuff like that :\

 Finally we said goodbye to Paris eating the most delicious foreign food in the city... Vietnamese food! :) Since Vietnam was (obviously) a French colony in the old times, there are many Viet inmigrants in the city, so you can find a wide variety of food from the country, no matter if it's Tonkinese or Saigonese!

The first day we had phở for lunch, so this time we went for "Bún riêu cua" <3 I really missed GOOD Vietnamese food! 

The visit overall was amazing: Last time I went it was for a concert, so I barely had time to visit the whole city. Fortunately this time I visited with my loved one, and we had more time to do sightseeing and wander around :) We had a trouble with a guy on the metro though, he was disguised as part of the metro stuff and he sold us a one-way ticket thinking we were buying a 3-day travelcard... But well! I guess it's one of the bad parts of being a tourist, right? Next time we'll be more careful :)

It was a pleasure travelling with my boyfriend. We had a great time together and we didn't have a restricted schedule (we just improvised the whole time). I'm proud to say we make a great team, hehe ^_^ He's going to be here for 3 weeks more, so I'll keep updating this with our adventures around Europe! Next stop... Madrid!

Love,

CL
