the wacky wombat weblog

I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t had time to just sit down, and sort through my own thoughts.

Time just flew past after my shoot, I hardly had time to think: “hey, my darling’s finally flying back this Saturday!” It’s there in my thoughts all the time, but unlike previous trips, I hadn’t gone and done stuff like countdowns everyday, and planning out all the activities for the days when he arrives.

I guess I’ve just been swamped. Freelance work, tape logging, plus running erands and chasing after my MacMac. Guess that really didn’t leave me much time to even rest properly, now I feel even more tired that I had felt right after the shoot had ended. So that leaves even less time for me to float in my own thoughts I suppose.

But yes, I am so glad. It’s been over 4 months since we last met during my trip over to Japan in the summer. Now I’m just sitting here, waiting for my hair to dry, blogging to kill the time (and rest my feet) before I go over to the airport later.

It was our 2-year anniversary several weeks ago. Just the words “2-year” makes it sounds so loooong! I mean, it really wasn’t that long ago when we first got together. But I guess, yeah, 2 years. I’m nearing the end of my formal education, and I guess that’s something I hadn’t even imagine 2 years ago, that I’d be here done with a film shoot, that I’d be here with a serious relationship.

I’m never a planning sort of person. Just take whatever comes my way. So I guess to get where I am today is really a pleasant surprise. It’s good to have something so settled in my life right now. I suppose you can say it’s reassuring and comforting.

Sometimes I get a bit tired of this whole long distance thing. But after 2 years, I guess you can call us veterans now, haha. 2 years is heck of a long time, but it finally helped me to really get settled into the physical distance issue. I don’t get bogged down by the distance as much and as frequently anymore. And I suppose we’ve also really gotten a rhythm going, weaving each other’s very separate lives into one another and accommodate for each other.

All I can really say is that, despite some of the not-so-great moments, I’m glad we stuck to it and with time, I think we finally got the hang of the game.

And I suppose knowing that the long distance phase will eventually be over soon does help. Gives it a goal to work forward to. So that I can say to myself: ‘this time next year, we can start to make moving-back plans.’

I guess Christmas is a good time to reflect and be thankful for the many things in your life. Well, I don’t celebrate it religiously, but I like its symbolism.

I’d say I’m thankful for this relationship. What I have now is something that I’d never have expected at the beginning.

I guess I should also say that I’m thankful for all the things that have gone well in my life. My family, my schooling, everything. It’s been a good year.

So here’s a little Merry Christmas shout-out to everyone out there who’s reading this. Hope you have a meaningful Christmas this year.
