He thought I wore a weave when he first met me
Yeah he did.
Just running to the park in France
you can't go anywhere without ten million guys
propositioning you and persistently
like jogging beside you on their way to work
being like - no but really
pon du faire?
Real hair like this
Is this real, baby? No, never mind
I think Russians are more passionate
Really?
They are more adventurous
What's your new one? Go ahead
I always say that
I remember sending him a text saying 'Are you home?'
and he responded 'Sure'
And I was like 'Does that mean yes?'
'Are you home?' and then he didn't respond
and I was kinda worried like..
I still don't understand.. why wasn't it good?
Sure is not an affirmation
Sure is like *shruggs*
Soy sauce goes with everything. Everything!
If your food is bad, you put soy sauce on it
That's it. Problem solved
For example, in my culture, we don't use to take out your shoes inside out of the house
When we started kind of living together
A couple of times she told me "Why you don't take out your shoes?"
Especially when we just cleaned the floors
You are walking with your shoes
He eats rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner
I swear
Breakfast! That was new for me
Yeah, we have had stupid arguments about cultural things for sure
Yeah for sure. We have a lot of arguments
That's another French thing
and a lot of arguments are stupid
Every now and again I still ask him
when he searches his little stuff on the internet
and I see the history
I'm not looking for it. It's just there
I see that he is looking at these Filipino girls
and girls of different races
and every now and again I ask you
Am I enough?
We'd be sitting around the table and they would be like
Why is Lauren smiling all the time?
Why is she so smiley?
And I don't realize that but Thomas has the opposite
Oftentimes, his neutral face looks kinda pissed off
and so oftentimes, he would be at work
and it's caused a lot of problems actually
or out with my friends
They'd be like 'what's wrong with Thomas?'
and I'd be like 'no that's just his neutral...'
but it is
he has a pissed off neutral face and a lot of people in France do
How do I go about this, Chanelle?
I said - what do you mean?
That's my mom
I want to adopt you. Can you live here?
Now they love her for who she is
but in the beginning for them it was fantastic
because they were tired of me bringing a different girl every two weeks
They don't think I was instilled the same morals and values as they are in the Philipines
Exactly
Especially being that I'm not exactly religious
She might hurt me
That's what they are scared of
I was like - nah
What I would suggest is talk a lot
and even if there is language difference, it doesn't matter
because the communication comes with
it's the effort
it's not what you say, what you say you will forget
it's the effort
Your relationship is your own
You have to get your bearings, you have to learn about each other
and you have to want that
there shouldn't be any advice for you
If you want it, you'll find the means to get it
You ever heard the saying
Once the student is ready, the master appears?
I'm always a die-hard bachelor
never believed in marriage, love or anything of the sort
and it was clearly love at first sight
