We met in game called LMS Perfect World somewhere around in 2009.. I was a GM on that particular private server, my GM name was Cayo. Though, I was an ordinary player, too. He was an ordinary player by that time. There were times we stopped talking because I was a bit busy with university works by that time, but I was always awake at times he was ( I'm living in GMT +7 area and He lives in England ) because of my architecture works. haha. Talk about being a nocturnal here. We never played that game together to be honest, but we met because our mutual friends were in a skype call and someone invited me to the group call and he was kind of strucked by my voice (?) because I'm Asian and he is too..
He had problems before and he tried to find me just to chat and be there for him, to cheer him up and all.. then time goes by I had not known that he was trying to get my attention but I guess I let it passed by because what he did was just talk about this girl and that girl so I thought we were just friends. xD He was kind of friend-zoned by me.. (sorry, baby) He kept on trying to find ways to start a convo with me on MSN.. Because I was hardly on skype, so many people bugging me about the GM thing. Hence why I didn't bother to log in anymore.. Then I told him that I had a facebook, he said he didn't have one, BUT he finally made it I don't know why. (He said it was for stalking purposes, and yes he did stalk most of my recent photos LOL )
Then he went to Hong Kong with his family and he posted some pictures of him, and it was just like a normal thing, I liked his posts and we commented at each other's posts. We talked a lot by late 2011, he gave me a Magicka game gift on steam for my halloween gift? I think.. Then we played together with 2 of our friends.
He asked for my number, then we texted a lot through whatsapp, although the conversation was just like a normal friend conversation xD
Time passes and there goes my a day before my birthday, I stayed up for a bit and we talked through skype.. then I told him that in my culture, guys need to tell the girl whether they want a relationship or not. Whilst, by his culture, it doesn't have to be like that, "just go with the flow", he said.. He told me that it wasn't love yet, but he liked me and he's willing to know me better, so we kind of gotten steady by that time.. It was January 19th 2012.
He sent me birthday gifts, valentine gifts, I made him a book, written and drawn by me and he showers me everyday with sweet words as we go through days and we planned for our first real life meeting. I had never met someone from an online game or whatsoever in real life, so it was kind of new to me. but even before I met him, I already know that I really do care and love him dearly..
Though, his friends keeps on telling him, "What if it doesn't work??", "What if..", "What if.." and He did ask me about that, and we came to an agreement that if things don't go well, we'll just have a good vacation like best friends in Hong Kong. Though, it would probably break my heart into farts and pieces. --"
We finally met in Hong Kong for 3 weeks started from September 1st, and it was amazing. We connected right away, and the moment I saw him in the airport, I knew that he was the love of my life, he was the one.
He was my first on everything I got and I love him with all my heart <3 I hope he's aware that he is special to me, nothing compares to him and I would want to spend the rest of my life with him.
He wrote on his blog (for him not to forget about it)
"but yes, she noticed me first and waved. im like OMFG thats lena, i got so red and nervous and OMFG. went around the fence bar things and we both dropped our luggage and hugged for a good few minutes. she cried and which made me tear up a bit too. at that moment i knew this was the best choice i ever made in my life and to say she really is my girlfriend and she is mine and i really love her deeply. after a the hug, i just kept staring at her. we were both walking, and i jsut kept looking at her which she looks ahead. and shes like “what?” in a cute way, and i’m like, your just really beautiful. lol
All i can say is that, the moment we saw each other, we just knew it worked. The next day, waking up next to her seeing her face and able to cuddle her was just indescribable and to tell the truth, just writing this part really gives me the heart ache.
the whole 3 weeks we were there was EXACTLY the way we imagined and DREAMED of.
I can honestly say i am one of the few to say, i have made my dream come true. Whether the dream is big or not is only an opinion of others. for me it was the best thing in my life. now it’s just working on other dreams and reality.
seeing her next year and hope for the best it works out during between."
I love you, Manhing. I really really do. Happy Valentine's Day, sweetheart.
I'm so happy for you two, Lenahun. <3
