Dear Diary I hope that you're enjoying the festive season. Little bits and pieces have been happening since my birthday. Boxing Day was Karate Kid's birthday. He spent the day with his family. In the afternoon he sent me a photo of his birthday cake that his family had surprised him with. It was really … Continue reading Karate Kid’s Birthday – Entry 174

Dear Diary There's a few things to report from the day of my actual birthday. Karate Kid was spending the day with me. I was doing some household chores outside when I came back inside and saw a gift bag next to the flowers that he gave me. He was at the kitchen table so … Continue reading My Actual Birthday Day – Entry 173

Dear Diary I did some reflection after the last entry. I was upset with Karate Kid, and justly so, but how I reacted was severe and a bit mean. I shouldn't have told him that I didn't want his help and I shouldn't have given him the cold shoulder at my party....that was taking things … Continue reading Seeing A Different Side – Entry 172

Dear Diary Please pardon me for not being able to write to you sooner. There's been a lot that I've wanted to share with you. Let's start with last Friday.... The last entry started with butterflies, rainbows and unicorns and was rudely interrupted by an unexpected surprise from Karate Kid - he had changed his … Continue reading My Birthday Party Weekend – Entry 171

Dear Diary I'm pleased to report that Karate Kid was in contact the day after I arrived overseas. His message read: "Testing 1 2 3...... not sure if you will get this message....." I was so happy to get this message. It meant that there was still hope for us. I replied soon after with: … Continue reading Can You Believe It? – Entry 170

Dear Diary I may have prematurely preempted things with Karate Kid......it took him another hour before he called me after my break up text. On the phone, he told me that he'd been playing video games. And hadn't received my messages until then. I told him that I didn't believe him and that I thought … Continue reading Until the Break of Dawn – Entry 169

Dear Diary I had time to reflect after my second last entry. Things just weren't sitting well for me with Karate Kid. I couldn't understand why it was so hard for him to date me. He clearly wasn't interested in me of he'd rather go to work than go exploring with me. During my time … Continue reading This Time I Think It’s For Real – Entry 168

Dear Diary I have a MAJOR update that I have to share with you right now! I replied to The Spaniard's message in the last entry....and he wrote back very soon after. The translated conversation unfolds as follows: "Hola Gorgeous. Haha he is Geko from the cartoon PJMARKS. How are you?" He must be on … Continue reading Holy Crapamoley! – Entry 167

Dear Diary The week has been unfolding in a frustrating fashion... and I think I'm finally at the point of not being able to care anymore. Monday morning I woke up and thought I'd try to be positive and cooperative. Karate Kid had said he'd take time off work and wanted to plan something nice … Continue reading Comparing Lemons with Apples and Oranges (Karate Kid being the Lemon) -Entry 166

Dear Diary Do you recall me worrying that there may be photos of Karate Kid with Plain Jane Peasant Maiden up on Facey the other night? You and I both know that there was no convincing reason to believe in my ludicrous fantasies. Karate Kid and I had discussed her and he made it clear … Continue reading Comparing Apples with Oranges (if Men were Fruits, that is) – Entry 165
