4 Things I Hate About Long Distance Relationships After A Visit

Every couple going through long distance relationship will try to convince you that their long distance relationship (LDR) is valid. We're a legit relationship. We're real! I've had many conversations with friends and family that we are real. We try to see the good in our long distance relationship that we  tend to overlook the things we don't like or hate. Don was here recently to visit me after 5 months apart. We had a wonderful time together! The both of us spending this time together here in Malaysia, my hometown brought our relationship, a step closer to where want to be = being together (forevaaahhhh) in the same place. I was so used to looking forward to his visit the past 5 months.  Then being with him 24/7 for a few weeks. It's now back to long distance again. It effing sucks. 

I am going through the "I hate this stupid distance" phrase and below are the 4 things I really hate about long distance relationship after a visit.

Becoming A Morning Person

I often find myself wishing there were more hours to the day, so i can do more things. Things like hanging out with friends and family, finishing up my work, do different kinds of exercise, spend time with Don, etc. I would complain to people around me that I don't have time to do anything because the minute I wake up > shower > breakfast > go to work > lunch > go home > rest/play futsal > sleep > REPEAT. When in reality, I do have time! Work doesn't start until 1030am for me. I am blessed to work (for myself) with flexible time. I waste a whole morning by waking up at 9-930am and only give myself enough time to get ready for work. If I wake up slightly earlier, I can clock in a yoga class, a blog post, make an awesome breakfast or read a book and even have a long morning Facetime session with Don.

#LDRBN Challenge: 30 days of compliments

If you have been following my Blushingkay instagram account, you would have noticed that i am taking part in LDRBN Community #30daysofcompliments challenge. This whole month, Don and I will be giving each other compliments every day! It's definitely a challenge because we want to give sincere, honest compliments to each other. So when you know what that you have to compliment each other every day. You start thinking ahead! Every week we're given different themes. So, week 1 is physical appearance. 

Bangkok Round Up 1: Temple Selfies

As I mentioned many times in my previous posts, Don and I went to Bangkok for a short holiday! It was our first time traveling together. To be completely honest, i was really anxious to travel with Don. He is laid back, I am not. I like to have a travel itinerary, he likes to with the flow. Don and I don't fight, but we bicker like siblings. I was worried that something might go wrong during our travels and one (me) of us would get upset. 

To my delight, Don is such an easy guy to travel with. In fact, I think he is one of the easiest and most fun person to travel with. I've travelled with many different characters. Don is  #1 on my list to travel with. It's not because he is my boyfriend, but he is really a fun guy to travel with. Whatever i had planned to do in Bangkok, he was okay and up for it. He let me make all the decisions and he just followed me. He didn't mind getting ripped off by the locals, while i tried to bargain to the lowest we could go. The only time Don decided on something was when he wanted to have Pad Thai for lunch, so off we went to get him Pad Thai. 

Coffee at DR.inc

Dr.inc in Bangsar was one of the cafes I have been dying to check out. It was no surprise after a visit to Central Market and Petaling Street with Don, we stopped by the cafe for a refresher. I've always known that Don is a big coffee drinker, but i didn't know how much he LOVES coffee. After one and half cups of coffee, i would get a caffeine buzz and need to drink lots of water to kill the buzz. 

Before our visit to Dr.inc to chill and relax, I took him to Central Market and Petaling Street. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he enjoyed walking around Central Market and Petaling Street. Central Market is an emporium of stalls that sells traditional goods and local handicraft. It's also an historical landmark in Malaysia. It was an HOT hazy day, so it made a lot of sense to go a cafe to chill. Checking out cafes with Don is so much fun because of his coffee appreciation. Once he gets his coffee fix, he doesn't complain and entertains my photo taking antics.
