The next step Jenny and I have in the process of being together involves a lot of waiting. We’ve received our NOA2 and now we’re waiting on finding out the new case number from the National Visa Center. It’s not … Continue reading Three-Day Weekends Are Rough When You’re Waiting on the Government
Whenever I miss Jenny I’ll listen to songs that make me think of her. She’s a big fan of P!nk, a singer who should probably be called Blonde Man Back if we’re going to keep her up-to-date with her appearance. … Continue reading Beecation Soundtrack Playlist: Just Give Me A Reason by P!nk Featuring the Ugly Guy from fun
When was the time you laughed the hardest? I’m guessing you were standing in front of a mirror naked, you monster. Seriously. You call that a human body? For me, the hardest genuine laugh I ever had was with Jenny … Continue reading The Hardest I Have Ever Laughed
At the airport on our way to Jenny’s hometown we stopped at Starbucks for a place to sit and grab some food because damn it how can we resist munching? Jenny made it no secret from the start of our … Continue reading How to Eat Starbucks Tuna Pumpernickel Sandwiches
This isn’t going to turn into one of those typical rants you’ll read online or a list of all of the people in the world who deserve to walk out of a window. I’m going to keep it a lot … Continue reading People I Hate
For Christmas I sent Jenny a letter with 12 different folded pieces of paper inside. Each paper was marked with a different month. She’s allowed to open them when the corresponding month begins. When I visited in April she opened … Continue reading Wish Granting
In the Philippines one of the main forms of transportation is the jeepney. Basically, it’s like a jeep and a person’s knee mated; as the name suggests. Then the offspring looks like a jeep, but it’s the size of a … Continue reading A Review of Jeepneys from an American
I lied to my fiancée today. This is my confession. Each day when I get on the train for my commute she asks if I’m safe. Today I said I was when really I wasn’t. How could I know doom … Continue reading A Lie I Told My Fiancée This Morning
In all aspects of life we want approval. We want approval at work, from our family, from our classmates who we realize far too late in life are dicks, etc. Approval is great. Even better is approval on your I-129F … Continue reading Approval
Why do they call it a goodbye? When it’s someone you care about there’s nothing good about it. It should be a badbye or a shitbye. Anything but good. Jenny and I have now had two really hard goodbyes. I … Continue reading Saying Goodbye in a Long Distance Relationship Never Gets Easier
Lots of songs remind me of my time with Jenny. Here on the Bee Blog I’ll share with you which songs they are and why. Whether it’s because we heard it together, she sang it, or in this case because … Continue reading Beecation Soundtrack Playlist: Black Hole Sun (Piano Version)
Jenny and I love desserts. Sometimes Jenny says the worst thing in the world when eating a dessert, which of course is claiming the treat is too sweet. Absurd, I know. How is something too sweet? Is the sky too … Continue reading How Much Mango Float Do We Need for Our Wedding?
Last night Jenny and I watched Creed together. It was one of the movies available on my plane ride to visit her in March, but not one I ended up getting around to watching. Since Muhammad Ali died on Friday … Continue reading Am I Supposed to Like Adonis Creed?
Blue eyes, blonde hair, and skin as white as snow was the way I arrived into this world. Of course, this came after the blood was wiped from my body. My eyes have since grayed, hair has darkened, and skin … Continue reading Experiencing Racism in the Philippines
I put the Tim in optimism; at least based on the latest thing I found online last night. No it wasn’t the obituary of an enemy. I also didn’t discover that Nigerian Prince I helped out years ago was legit. … Continue reading Two Week Long Distance Relationship Optimism
Singing is something I have never done well. I don’t recall at any moment in my life where someone asked me to sing more. I do have a few times when they actually told me to shut up. I’m not … Continue reading Singing is Not My Specialty
The question most people will ask when they’re trying to get to know you and you’re all adults is what you do for a living. Unless it’s competitive gambler or mall Santa, the response is usually pretty lame. Let’s face … Continue reading So What Do You Do for a Living?
Back in March Jenny and I filed our I-129F petition. It’s the first step in being together on a permanent basis. This will make fighting with each other a lot easier as we’ll be under the same roof. Jenny and … Continue reading The Agony of Waiting for Petition Approval
