Our One Fine Day

My husband and I wrote poems and love letters to each other. I wanted to share one of our poems to each other before we met for the first time in May. It's how our relationship got stronger from being open and continuing our honesty and communicating with each other. We fell in love with just one kiss. He always said to me that how we met was an explosion and he is so happy that I wrote him when I return home from my first trip to Cuba.

One fine day....

Only few hours it only took for you to win my heart.
Your smile is what captivated me. My shyness is what lured you to want me.
Your passionate kiss is what weak in the knees and butterflies appeared within me.

You are a beautiful and intellectual man who claimed my heart and left me smiling that could be forever.
One fine day foresee my future of having you in my life forever.
Our one fine day is my happy place that I will never forget for the rest of my life. 
I love you so much!

Our First Date taken the day I was leaving.

Two months ago I met a special girl and my life was changed forever,
Because to my door the Love arrived; and my happiness flooded my heart.

Now, I think of her each seconds of the day;
I feel so lucky to find you in my way.
Just when I was alone and lost in the tunnel You come with your light to rescue me out of the darkness.

Each word of you fills my heart of happiness and Love,
So much Love that I only wait for you to share it with you.
I wait that you feel just the same as me.
I love you my Ella.

Bonita Sonresa

I am proud to say that a man such as him can express so much of his feelings to me and not hold back. He is an intellectual man, who is very proud but yet can show his softness in the words his used in his letters to me. I guess you can say we are lucky to have found one another. We came from different world, but the one thing that we have in common is that we love each other so much.

A Priceless Adventure


How did I get here? Let’s see, I had an affair with Mr. Bell Canada and Mr. Rogers Network, then I called it quits with Mr. Rogers because I am one of many who racked up the unlimited long distance call to Cuba and Rogers cancelled the promotion when I was only one month into it. But I continued the affair with Mr. Bell Canada until I discovered apps in my phone that provides better service and cheaper rate. Since, then I use many apps such as Keku and Rebtel; I decided to go on a Bell diet so I cut off my international access and no more using long distance using Mr. Bell. Wow the amount of money I gained in my pocket was astonishing!


My husband always says to me that he is like an Indian boy the technology is not on their side. Let’s see the first few months, he wrote to me every day when he can get a chance to use a computer at his school. There are times he would use a friends laptop just to send me a message because the computers are not available to be use because of bad Cuba cell connections. They only have eight computers available for thirty students. I never did understand it but I remind myself that my husband lives in a communist country and the Indian boy always come to my mind. How lucky we are to have an easier access keeping in touch with our family from different cities, towns and other countries. There are many ways such as face time, Skype, unlimited texting, Tango and I can go on and on. Then here I was, I get so excited when I receive one email from my Cuban boyfriend or whould I say my Indian boy. The entirety of my day is complete because of my one email. This man wrote to me from the heart, he expressed his feelings the way a woman should be courted. I mentioned I fell in love with him from a kiss; every day I fall in love with him from the words he expressed and how he felt for me. I responded to his e-mails every day and each words in my letter comes from my soul. I was never a romantic type and I cannot believe the expressions I used of how much I needed someone like him in my life. How he keeps me grounded. I went from all qbout designer a shopaholic to not caring about the materialistic thing in life. Don't get me wrong! I still shop but only for necessary things such as a durable set of suitcases, summer attires, fliflops and coconut oil.

My priceless adventures further down the road became more meaningful.  I needed to know him more. I needed to see his facial expression when he tells me how much he likes me. His letters were sincere but I want to see him despite of what the outcome will bring me. I had nothing to loose except the bitter sweet, memory of our back stage affair. 

For now, stay  tune as how my Cuban husband and I develop our Love with each other. My priceless adventures continues on as we learn more from one another.

To the Moon and Back


We all have seen romantic movies that always make us fall in love to feel the magic and the butterfly feeling. I never thought that falling IN LOVE with someone can happen this fast until my trip to Cuba of February 2013. I didn't expect my trip to change me in the duration of my vacation. It was the kiss that summed it up for me. The everlasting kiss that made me feel weak in the knees, my heart felt like it was awakened and my soul felt as the lighting had stroked between us. We paused at that same moment and he stated in his deep Cuban accent, “You are my lady and my princess!” right there and then I knew I loved him. I took with me on my return home the emotion of my heart that was shattered in pieces thinking I will never see him again. How many of you here have had the most wonderful kiss that left you weak in the knees? The man who kissed me is the man I married after six months of knowing him. It may be crazy but my story is been a true journey in finding myself again and the true soul within me. Eat Pray & Love is what I thought that happened to me except I didn't wait any longer. I followed my heart. There have been many cries, frustrations and sadness in the distance of what we have. The struggle of the communication from Canada to Cuba has been the trial in this distance between us but yet, I am able to get through it because of LOVE. Love is what I am in it for and what we fight for. The connection that my husband and I have is truly amazing because no matter how far apart we are; I feel it in my heart when he tells me "I love you to the moon and back".
 
I love you to the moon and  back
                                             

I have been in a few long relationships but this is my far the longest distance relationship/marriage that I am now experiencing. I am sharing my experiences by this to keep me focus and busy while I work full time and working on finishing filing for my husband’s sponsorship. My journey will leave you wanting for more of how we have kept loving each other when we are apart. Love is a gamble and Love is also beautiful and when two people are in love; you will do anything to keep that Love stronger.
