Why m I writing this blog?


I have none to talk about my secret love. I love him so much, but m I doing the right thing? Is my mind clouded by love? I m doing all these things behind the back of my family, who is strict, but they love me with all their heart. M I betraying them? Should I continue this relationship?

Please be my listening ear, help me with advice and help me keeping him by my side. Thank you.

Elemental invasion (2)

Just 2 more quests, 1 starting in ironforge 1 in stormwind. When is the real event starting???

Been too busy these couple of days to really update my blog. So many things have happened. Maybe this weekend.

What's with the elementals invasion?

I know it must have something to do with the opening event of the expansion. I did the questline of the darksayers in Stormwind. But it ended so suddenly.

When will the rest start? In 3 weeks the expansion hits, so it must be next maintenance. I wunder if it will be fun.

Open up

Yesterday I had a long talk with my hunny. He noticed that I m sad and tired lately and is very worried. Normally I m a person that keeps all my troubles for myself and I want to solve all my problems by myself. But this is the thing that put a relationship in danger.

If you keep everything to yourself, eventually you are gonna burst and your partner wouldn't understand it, because you have never talked about your problem. So it comes for him like a storm on a clear day.

I told my hunny everything that bugged me, the stress at work, the stress to earn more money and the stress to make this relationship works out. He got mad at me, I should have told him earlier about all the stress I m having. I shouldn't forget that he loves me more then anything in the world, I m the reason why he left his family and friends behind to move to a foreign country. Seeing me like this makes him mad at himself. Because he is the source of all my troubles. He is going to help me with finding ways to earn more money.

We made an agreement that when we have problem or troubles, we will tell eachother everything. The talk really made me feel relieved and happy.

Halloween event WoW

Finally got some time to do the Halloween event in WoW, but no luck at all, I really really want the headless horseman mount, but I guess maybe next year. I wunder what the drop chance is for it.

After my hunny got hacked twice 2 weeks ago, I decided to buy him an authenticator. It really makes your account saver, though a little bit more annoying to log on. But that better then getting your account hacked over and over. I m wundering how long it takes before it runs out of codes, what happens then? Or what happens when it runs out of battery?

So tired

Lately I have been so tired, my work, my family and my secret love. Every day I'm spinning between them. Wake up at 6 to go to work. Work 9 hours, goto my hunny, after 1 hour go home and have dinner with my parents. After dinner, do homework for work, then bed.

Currently the Halloween event is running in WoW. I really want to get the headless horsemen mount, but I don't even have the time to log in for the few minutes kill. Luckily I have gotten all the world events archievements last year, this year it really is a mess with work and everything.

I need to give a presentation next week and I still haven't prepared it. I hate presentations, because i get nervous so easily, any tips?

23 October 2010

Am I being abused?

My swedish lover and I are together 1.5 years now. He is studying hard at the local university and doing quite well. Though I wish he would help out with the money troubles. I did asked him, if he could try to get a part time job. But he says he wouldn't have enough time for studies then.

Am I too kind to him? I'm working more then 10 hours a day to keep him here. But he ain't helping out at all. But it is hard for him to live in a totaly different country and leave all his family behind.

But I can't shake the thought of him abusing me. If he ever ditches me, I'll be left behind with lonely and with alot of debts. I know that I must trust him, but dark thoughts comes up sometimes, I worry too much.

The 1 day we spend together is getting boring lately, I can't seem to be able to entertain him, we need to save money so we can't have fun outside and because of all the working I m way too tired in the weekend to be active. I want to rest most of the time, but he wants to do different stuff. Will I loose him this way?

I told my parents I have a non Chinese boyfriend. They weren't too happy with it, but at least they didn't demand me to break up with him, though they want to see him. Now I have a new problem, how can I show them that I have 5 years younger, unemployed, non educated, non native boyfriend?

They also told me that I shouldn't consider marrying him, because a western marriage won't last forever, after a few years I'll be ditched with 2 kids which I need to raise alone, because no other man would ever want me then. Should I be worried?

I just need to hold on to the thought that he loves me as much as I love him.

Is it possible to get your hacked hotmail account back?

It has been 1.5 week now and my hunny still couldn't get his hacked hotmail back. He delivered all the proof he got. But then he gets an automated reply from hotmail, saying that he didn't proof enough and if he doesn't deliver more proof, then his claim will be ended and bye bye account.

Anyone has some tips?

Lately I have been doing alot of overtime to get more money, it is getting cold outside and the heaters are turned on, that means a high bill soon. I really need to find some ways to earn more money. Anyone has some tips?

Besides alot of work, account got hacked too

These few days have been terrible for me, I had so much work to do, I had to work 14 hours a day and I couldn't visit my hunny and when I finally took some time off. A spammail arrived in my e-mail, my hunnies e-mail got hacked...

I immediatly phoned him and told him to change his hotmail accounts password. But when I arrived to visit him, he didn't change it, because he didn't notice anything weird. Then another e-mail came in from Battlenet. His World of Warcraft account got hacked. Because his World of Warcraft account is linked to the hacked hotmail account, the hacker could retrieve the password. He stole all his gold, vendored all the gear, everything in his bank and stole all the gold (150k) and mats from our guildbank.

After we received the e-mail, we immediatly filled in the online web form at battlenet to retrieve his WoW account. I must say that I admire Blizzards quick response of their customer support. 1 hour later he could change the log in e-mail, he got his account back and he got all his gold and items and the items in the guildbank restored. Thank you Blizzard!

The weird thing was that my hunnies account was frozen, he didn't pay to play for 3 months already, because he is focussing on his new college year. The hacker actually bought a gamecard online and activated his account! And what did he get with it? Nothing, because everything got restored.

Good ending you think?

No, the next day, we've found out that his e-mails password got changed and the retrieve password doesn't work too, because his account is now linked to an email that looks like 3xxx3333@qq.com. (the x's were hidden by hotmail) And the other e-mail (also hotmail) where his WoW account is newly linked to is also hacked. So his WoW account got hacked again *wah!*. His other e-mail also got linked to an email that looks like 3xxx3333@qq.com. So now everything got more complicated, we don't have access to his emails, no way to retrieve his WoW account. Of everything, the most annoying thing is that he lost his hotmail that he was using for a lot of years and got a lot of things registered too. And we do not know how he got all the log-ins. My hunny said he cleaned his pc, but he didn't change his first e-mails password and that was so stupid, I got really mad, but I didnt't scold him, should I have done that? The weird thing is how he got the other e-mails password, that account we only used for some stuff we do together and it was a totaly unrelated password.  

Blizzard was great again and after 1 hour, his account + everything got restored again, we now used another pc to get accounts back. And we now use a gmail account.

But the biggest problem now is. How to retrieve your hacked hotmail account? We tried everything to retrieve password, but everything sends an email to the secundairy mail and that is the hackers email. The hacker seems to be from China, because qq is a chinese mailprovider, something like hotmail. We then filled in the live account retrieval form. Hotmail (Live) promiss to give us a reply within 24 hours if we can proof that the account is his. We filled in the form for both accounts and hope for the best.

But then I googled on 'hotmail account got hacked' and the hits weren't encouraging. Hotmail (Live) doesn't seem to respond on those forms at all, people have been waiting for weeks and no reply (where is the 24 hour promiss???) and didn't get their accounts back.

We also changed all the password to every thing that was registered on that e-mail account and changed all the passwords of accounts that were logged on to on that pc, but I still don't feel safe.

I used Spybot, CCleaner, McAfee Antivirus, Hijackhis and Trendmicro housecall to clean his pc, but it still doesn't feel safe, I want him to clean his drives and reinstall Windows, he doesn't want to do that, since it is so much work, That makes me so mad, the whole day I was doing my best to retrieve everything for him and help him change all the passwords, but he doesn't seem to care at all, why not? It is all his personal information and accounts that has been stolen. It makes me so sad too. What should I do?

How to divide time between love and work

I cried today. I have a lot of work that I need to finish in private time. I m doing these extra work because I want to impress my boss and get a promotion and thus a raise.

But my hunny wants more time of us together, nothing makes him happier then me spending all my time with him. He is waiting for me all day in his appartment, till I go visit him after work. He doesn't want me to work so much.

How can I make him understand that I m doing all these extra work for him? I need to get a promotion and a raise to be able to keep him here with me. I guess he doesn't know how much money it costs me to keep him here. I guess I should tell him.

I want to make him happy but I also need to work hard to keep him here. Everything feels so hopeless today, I cry but there is none to comfort me.

Perfect couples

What are perfect couples? Couples who never fight? Couples who completes eachother? Couples who enjoys eachother?

I wunder what kind of couple I and Raemon are. We never fight, we like the same things and we have the same ideas about things. I m so afraid that we are going to be a boring couple. What if after a couple of years, he decides that I m just a boring woman and leaves me? There is nothing special about me, I like a happy hard working life and to travel around alot. M I a boring person?

If he leaves me, all the things I m doing now are for nothing. But I love him so much and he loves me so much, I m so scared.

What is long distance WoW love like?

Today, someone sended me an email to ask what a long distance WoW love is like. Well...

It ain't alot different from normal love, besides the fact that you never seen eachother in real life nor ever touched eachother.

It starts with normal chatting with eachother, you talk about what you like, how you are, your family, your interests and more. After a while chatting in text ain't enough, you want to voicechat with Skype or MSN and in my case on Ventrillo (VT). You start exchanging pictures of eachother. And in the end you start chatting with webcam. You will notice you like him/her more and more.

The urge to see and touch eachother in real life start to grow stronger and stronger. So you will end up visiting eachother, which actually could be very dangerous in the way I did it. I advice people never to go alone to visit someone you have met online. Tell your friends/ parents where and why you are going.

In my case I couldn't have done that, because my parents would never ever had let me do that and a non Chinese guy is a big NO.

After meeting eachother in real life it can go 2 ways:
1. In real life he/she ain't like the person he/she was online, so the relationship ends there
2. In real life he/she is at least at great or better then he/she was online and you want to go on with the relationship.

But what will be the next step? Either one of the two has to move to another country and that is really not an easy decision to make, you leave family, friends and the country you know behind.

Think well before you start a relationship like this, because it will have big effects on either one of your lives.

Friday's

Friday's are great days. It is the day before the weekend, which means more time for my hunny. Though I have some extra unpaid work to do for my work. But what to do in the weekend? It is raining heavily, so going outside is not a good idea.

We have been watching alot of movies and series, I need a change. Play an online game together? My boyfriend quitted WoW to focus on his studies and since he ain't online, I kinda stopped playing WoW too.

What else can you do inside that is a lot of fun, but doesn't cost alot?

Work and a relationship

How to combine it? I need to work up to 9 hours a day, then I go visit my hunny and I have to be home before 19:00 (yes..although I m 28 I need to follow my parents rules)

Yes, I see my hunny every day. I go to his appartment every day after work. Luckily at the moment I m working close to the appartment. It is going to be horrible when I have a new assignment further away. The best would be ofcause an appartment close to my parents house. But the line to rent a house I can afford closeby is 3+ years. A more expensive house would be easier to get, but then I need to find a way to earn more money.

But I m glad already, that he is here rather then in Sweden. I just have to do my best and hope for the best.

Life ain't easy, but with a lot of love it is at least bearable.

World of Warcraft expansion

As a previous addicted WoW player, I m still playing it casually. But lately with all the announcements on the upcoming expansion. I ain't really motivated to play. Everything you do now is in vain, because even blue level 83 gear rocks the best epics in the game now. Why go through all the trouble to get it now in annoying pugs?

I m waiting anciously on official announcement of the release date, maybe they will announce it during Blizzcon. I get all my information from http://www.mmo-champion.com it is a really great site.

For the rest, I m just trying to clean up my bank for new stuff while leveling up, I tend to save up alot of crap, but for some weird reason, all those crap sell for nice amounts of gold.

So I started searching for another mmorpg to play till the expansion. I've come by Guildwars, but since guildwars 2 is upcoming too, I ain't really tempted to try Guildwars 1. There are loads of free to play games around nowadays. You can play for free, but if you want special items, you will need to use real money to buy ingame currency to buy it. Not too bad of an idea. At the moment I m trying Runes of Magic. At first it seemed like a WoW rip-off, but it is actually a nice game. Anyone tried it and liked it?

Happy day

Due to some family stuff and my hunny needed to study for a test, we haven't seen eachother for 3 days. We have been phoning and texting eachother every day. But nothing beats being able to hug him tight and kiss him.

And it is not like we are in our 'honeymoon' weeks, we are together for 2 years now. 1 year online and 1 year really together. Our love is just growing and not diminishing. I hope that won't ever happen.

But I guess nothing is certain in life. My parents always warned me about non-chinese. 'You can't trust them, they will divorce you within 5 years and leave you behind with kids'. Is that true? I have the feeling that chinese people divorce as easily. What do you think?

My purity

My hunny always have honored my wishes. I told him that I m not allowed to have sex before marriage and he respects that. But I m afraid that without this, our relationship will end. Love isn't complete without that sign of affection. It will till take 3 years before he graduates and finds a job. Then he can marry me, but can a man not have sex with his girlfriend for that long?

I just don't want to feel sorry about it, I m putting all my effort into this relationship and I don't want this great relationship to end because of my parents wishes.

What should I do?

28 September 2010

Together now what?

Being together is great, having the person you love at your side is greater. But what do you do when you are together?

Go out? Goto movies? Go out dining? Go bowling? Go to amusement parks? These are all fun, but they cost money and with the rent of the apartment I can't afford to do a lot outside. It was better during the summer, then we could goto the park and enjoy ourselfs, but now it is rainy and getting colder. Due to the lack of money, we are condemned to stay inside. Will this have a negative effect on our relationship?

I need more ideas on how to make more money, any suggestions?

Meeting your love through World of Warcraft

Is it weird to find your love through an online mmorpg? I don't think that we r an unique case, I have heard from a lot of online friends from WoW that they had similar cases. But most of the time it is the woman moving to the man rather than the man moving to the woman. But I haven't found a couple that lasted longer then a year. This fact worries me.

Is it pathetic to meet someone online and date that person?

Before Raemon I already had my share of online love already, but it never turned into something serious like this. Think of it, you are playing a game every day for hours and chatting with the same people for hours. Most of these people are from the same guild as yours. And with your guild you put alot of time and effort into killing raidbosses, you share disappointments and happiness. You learn about their backgrounds, family,  problems and eventually you will turn into friends.

Are the people that play online games geeks? No, in WoW I've met managers, accountants, controllers, paramedics, soldiers, students, college kids and many more. WoW is played by a large variety of people and that is what makes it alot of fun besides the gameplay.

I knew Raemon from my hardcore raiding time. My first impression of him was that he is a very sweet and gentle guy, he likes to help people out and doesn't give up easily, but I wasn't impressed of him by the fact that he doesn't have any future plans, he just stays home and plays WoW.

When I came back from my long break from WoW, he was still playing and he still remembered me, which made me very happy, so I chatted with him. The chatting became longer and longer, I learned more about his background, his sad childhood, his ideas and more. I started to realize that we had alot in common and that it feels really really great to chat with him. I could chat with him about all my problems, my thoughts and my idea's. He became my closest friend. Is it because you can talk to people easier when you can't see them? Chatting with him made me so happy.

This feeling of hapiness is it love?

How it started (4)

Then one day we finally took the big step, he moved to my country. I was so happy when he arrived, but also very worried, what if this doesn't work out? I'm putting alot of effort and money into this. What if he doesn't graduate? What if he can't find a job after his graduation? What if my parents won't accept him? So many questions, so many doubts.

This step is very unlike me, since I never liked to take risks. But he is the love of my life and I have the feeling that I won't find anyone like him anymore. My mind and my heart were fighting a battle. And as always the heart wins over the mind. I'll just do it, enjoy it and hope for the best.

So now he lives in my country, will our love last? Will everything work out? This is the start of my virtual love becomes real.

Help me keep my hunny here

Please help me with donations, I need all the help I can get to pay the rent of the appartment. We love eachother deeply and don't want to be seperated again. I m working 10 hours a day already, but it is still not enough. What can I do?

You can donate with the button on the top right navigation bar. That is the easiest way, but Paypal charges costs on donations made this way. Of every dollar/euro, around 0,65 cents is left for me. Donating personally on my email maylin243@gmail.com would mean that I receive the full dollar.

How it started (3)

In the end we decided that he moved to my country. I had a job, a steady income and it would be very hard for me to leave my family, they would have thrown me out of the family for doing something like this.

This decision leads to new problems. Where was he going to live? He can't live with me and my parents, so I had to find a place for him to stay. In the end I rented a little appartment for him and I visit him every day. But the rent of this appartment is killing me, it is taking half of my income. So I have to find a way to earn more money, but that is easier said then done. I have a full time job already, so how can I earn more money?

Putting that aside, our main focus is to make my parents accept him when I finally introduce him to them. So he enrolled in a local university in a study Economics and business. He is doing great and passed the first year without problems, I hope that the second year will be as good. After his graduation, he hopes to find a job here. With an university grade and a job, I hope that I can finally introduce him to my parents and that they will accept him as my partner, though he is still 5 years younger then me, but there is no way to change that.

Is my hopes based on stupidity? Is everything I try to archieve in vain? How can I earn more money? Please advise me.

My dilemma

My parents always had high standards for their children, we needed to be the top off the class, we needed to go to university. We can't go out till late. We weren't allowed to play outside with other children, we weren't allowed to sleep over. We need to live in our parents house till we are married.

But my biggest dilemma is the fact that I m only allowed to marry a Chinese guy that older then me, has an academic grade and earns enough money to support me.

The problem is... I fell deeply in love with a Swedish guy that is 5 years younger then me, hasn't finish his studies and has no job.

Should I give up this love or should I give it a chance?

How it started (2)

When I landed at the airport, my heart was beating like crazy, my legs felt numb. I didn't dare to go out the gate. After I finally calmed myself down, I went out the gate and saw him sitting there quietly waiting for me. He was so cute, I walked up to him and said 'Hi'. He got startled, stood up nervously and said: 'You look different'... Well, there goes the romantic first time meeting. He didn't ment it bad, he wanted to say that I look better then online, but he was so nervous haha.

I had a great time there. He is just the guy I've met online, just abit more nervous. But that just makes him cuter. He treated me as a real gentlemen and didn't do anything inappropriate to me. After this trip, I realized I do love him and I became his girlfriend.

After this trip we visited eachother every 2 months. Long distance love is really hard, because if you really love someone, it is hard to be seperated from eachother. But visiting eachother is very expensive, we couldn't keep this up for a long time. We needed a better and definate solution.

And the only solution we could only think of is to move to eachother. Either me moving to him or him moving to me. Either way one of us had to leave our family, friends and birthcountry behind and move to a strange country. And that is a really really hard decision.

How it started (1)

Everything start with the basics, people are lonely, people try to connect with other people, trying to form relations and we weren't different from that, the only different thing was, that we connected through an online game called WoW.

How does an online relationship start? It started with chatting, chatting and more chatting, first through text, later through webcam, you get attached to eachother and before you knew it, you think that you are in love. I delayed it as much as possible, he lives in Sweden for god sake, and who says that he is who he seems he is? Besides that, my biggest problem is that my family wouldn't ever allow a relationship like this. He is not a Chinese and he has no job and no education.

But I was lonely and he was lonely, we have alot common and it felt so great to talk with him, so being with him might be even greater.

After half a year of chatting, he asked me if I wanted to go visit him in Sweden, I can stay over in his appartment. In my heart I knew this can be dangerous, going there all alone, staying over in a 'strangers' house, what if he was a rapist of something like that. But love clouded my mind and I decided to take the chance, I told my family that I went on vacation with some friends ( I got a friend to cover for me) and went to Sweden. Up till now, I never told him that I loved him, nor was I his girlfriend, I went to visit him as a friend.

Was this stupid of me?

About him

When we met 2 years ago:
He is a Swedish guy, 21 years old  living in Sweden, no job, not studying.

His family:
His family is very open minded, sweet and warm. He was raised free and without much restriction

Now:
He is 23 years old now, living in England (not together with me), studying Economics at a local university.

About me

When we met 2 years ago:
I m Chinese woman, 26 years old from England. Just started working as an advisor financial systems.

My family:
My family is very traditional, my dad is the head of the family, we celebrate all the traditional Chinese holidays and follow traditional Chinese rules. That means that I m not allow to go out clubbing, I need to be home before 22:00, I need to live in the familyhouse till I m married, I need to stay pure before marriage and above all I m only allowed to marry a chinese man.

Now:
I m 28 years old now and still working as an advisr financial systems. Happily and deeply in love with my boyfriend Raemon.

How we've met

I would describe myself as an average girl, there is nothing outstanding about me and I don't like to get too much attention. I grew up with social problems due to my timid nature and my family circumstances.

What i liked the most is playing games, roll playing games (rpg's) are my favorite type of games. It didn't took long after the release of World of Warcraft (WoW) before I totaly lost myself in it. I became a hardcore player. But this blog ain't about the dark part of my life as a hardcore gamer, it is about the love of my life I've met during that period.

I've met the love of my life 5 years ago, he joined the guild  (group of people you play together with to kill bosses in WoW) I was in, but it took 3 years before we really 'met'.

After 3 years of  hardcore WoW I finally noticed that I was wasting my life. I quitted WoW and started to put my life back on tracks again:

I started to work on my body, since childhood I always were a chubby girl, but due to long hours of gaming, I got really really fat. I weighted 80 kg's with a length of 1,63m. Now I m weighting 63 kg's and I m working to get my weight to around 56 kg's

I've found a job, it is a nice decent job and far better then sitting at home gaming.

But even with all the changed I've made in my life, I still couldn't change my timid nature, I had problems making friends and don't even talk about boyfriends, I m the kind that no man wants or so I thought.

So my days after work and weekends were just tv, tv and more tv. After a while tv gets boring and once a gamer, always a gamer, so I started playing WoW again. Though I have learned my lession, I just play it casually.

There we 'met' again.
