HOW TO KEEP A RELATIONSHIP.... FROM ACROSS THE MILES
1. Buy a good phone. or have him/her ship you a good phone. Communication is key and on a price. An SMS costs 15pesos so write whatever lovelorn feeling or daily triviality that you feel. Keypads must be soft enough. Don't go for that Nokia 1100 phone unless you want a stigmata peering your cuticle. Before, i had the first Nokia colored phone and my ring tone was The Locomotion by Kylie Minogue. He gave me a phone with bursting lights at the sides and softer keypads. My ringtone now is the Rococo, it sounds like a Twilight Zone effect you hear when the twist of the story has unfolded. Keep a regular schedule of texts and sweet whatevers. But it should be sincere and should come from the heart not from the template messages. i discovered there is a template message on my phone that says "I love you too" Oh and don't ask " Kumain ka na ba? or Tulog na me. Tulog na u? Please... our partners have lives... of course they eat and sleep.
2. Schedule a chat on webcam. Usually chats are from 11pm to 2am. Be ready. Sleep before you chat. And look good naman. Tilt the webcam to your most desired angle. Test the webcam. Look at yourself first. Pwede na bang pumasa sa Regal? Regal Shocker! Hek-hek. Going back, Find a comfortable place to chat. A big swivel chair will do minus the surot ha. I recommend Sation 168 in T. Morato. I recommend the comforts of chatting but not the rate they charge. Pricey honey. I went to this internet shop along Timog with swivel chairs from the attic of the Cryptkeeper. I was bitten on my back and it swelled up to the size of an old piso. Beware of surot. It can cause utter paranoia lalo na't di mo alam kung ano yung surot. Akala mo signs of leprosy na.
Of course those are the technicalites.
I cannot teach how to learn patience, compromise and waiting. I cannot teach how to purge cold lonely nights. I cannot teach coping mechanisms on fits of depression. I cannot teach what words to say to secure the partner. I think i have yet to learn them myself.
