(Jo’s summer)
It was March and Jo was one of the graduates. Jo finished a 2 year course and was very proud of his achievement. His mom was as his graduation but the rest of the family couldn’t be there cause they are busy attending a family reunion his aunts prepared that day. Jo didn’t really mind much cause this is his day. His mom was crying out of Jo’s achievement and because she was very proud of what his son has accomplished. After the graduation Jo and his mom went home and prepared to travel.
They traveled by bus going to the reunion but didn’t arrive in time. Jo’s dad and his two sisters waited for them at the bus stop and they rode the family vehicle to the reunion site where they’re going to spend the night. They arrived at the site and saw some of his cousins and uncles having a drink. They invited Jo to drink but he wasn’t a “drink to be happy” guy so he passed on it. His aunts saw Jo and congratulated him. They then decided to bring Jo to a near by casino as a gift for Jo’s success. They traveled for 20min until they reached the casino. It was Jo’s first time to enter a casino and was nervous at first. He wanted to play poker before he entered the casino but unluckily poker wasn’t one of the card games in the casino so he tried other games. Jo’s didn’t have any luck in casino games so he stopped and watch his aunts instead. Jo’s two aunts won a good amount of money and called it a night. They traveled back to the place they rented and had a good night sleep.
In the morning they all returned home and they all rested the whole day. Jo’s aunt then planned to go for a trip and Jo’s went with them. After four days they all went back home they all rested for a day, tired due to all the traveling and heat in the lowlands. When Jo’s aunt went back to the Hawaii Jo went back to his OJT to finish it. He only needed a week with eight hours a day to finish it and he did. After his OJT he was absorbed by the Internet Café he was having an OJT in. He worked in the night, but he didn’t care because he enjoyed it anyway. He enjoyed playing games on the computer, chatting and surfing the net.
On one occasion he was chatting and was teasing a girl. When he was teasing the girl he sent a personalize message to her and they chatted for five hours until the girl decided to sleep. The following day Jo couldn’t keep still and didn’t know the reason why. Until the girl he was chatting with went online and Jo sent a private message saying “welcome back”. They chatted all night long until 4-5am and the girl decided to sleep. Jo then was so excited to chat with the girl every night and waited for her to go online and he always sent a personalize message to the girl every time she went online. Jo then decided to ask the real name of the girl and she said it was Ella. Ella was 5 years younger that Jo but Jo didn’t care because he was so inlove with Ella. Jo then added Ella in a social site and they continued to chat and Jo courted the girl online until they decided to have a mutual relationship. At first Jo and Ella didn’t mind being in a long distance relationship but as time passed by they felt more and more sad because of the distance.
Until one day Jo found a way for them to meet. The first time they met Jo didn’t really talk much because he was so shy and Ella did all the talking. Although Jo was a shy guy he decided to take pictures of them with his phone and he even got the chance to hold Ella’s hand. They only had a short time to spent together since Jo needed to back home. It took a very long while until Jo and Ella got to meet each other again. Jo went to a trip with his aunt once and they both used this as a way for them to meet each other. They met again and Jo treated Ella for lunch. Jo didn’t order for himself because he was already full but Ella couldn’t finish her food so Jo has to help her finish it. After lunch Jo and Ella went to the train station and spent a little time to take pictures of them being together again. Jo and Ella had a nice time together and they both were sad that it didn’t take so long. Ella then had to leave because they had an activity in school although Jo didn’t want her to go, Jo decided to let her ride the train and go to school. Jo ask for a kiss and hug before Ella went and they both said there goodbye’s. It was both a very nice and sad day for them and they both wished the next time would take days and not just hours. Jo then went back to his town.
After 2 months Ella was becoming more and more tense and she almost broke out with Jo because of this. Ella then decided that they have a time off but Jo didn’t like the idea. But Ella told Jo it was over. The whole night Jo couldn’t sleep and started crying because he loved Ella so much. The following day Jo made himself busy trying to forget what had happened. Before lunch Ella called and she talked to Jo saying that she made a mistake in her decision and wanted Jo back. Ella asks if it would be ok and Jo said of course. Jo was happy that moment but he also knows the risk of being in that relationship again. He knows it would take him a longer time to see her but Jo didn’t care. Jo and Ella had lots of bumps in the relationship they are in. They are always bothered by the distance and by sadness. Jo didn’t show much of his emotions because he wanted to keep strong but Ella didn’t and Jo understands her. He always says “sorry, I wish I could….” and wished he could just travel without his parents getting mad at him. Jo is jobless and is applying for a job so he could go to Ella and visit her often, while Ella is busy with her studies. That’s the end of the story. Being in a long distance relationship is really hard. Some people don’t even try this because the chance of success is only 20%. Those who tried and failed never lost anything but those who persevered and got to all the troubles had a very wonderful relationship and a happy ending to their story.~2nd revision
I wish I could be there with you always. I hate making you sad. I hate making you feel that I didn’t care and wish I could be there for you always in times of trouble. I’m asking you to wait. I know its taking so long. Give me more time so I can make this work. That’s all I’m asking from you. I love you always please be strong.~Jo
Love is the condition to being closely tied to another by affection and/or faith ~ROGET’S II(THE NEW THESAURUS)
Long distance relationship is the condition of being in love but being able to ignore, endure and conquer distance in time. ~Jo
