Hey There! In this blog We intend to tell the details and news of the path and progress of our own love story to our friends, family and whoever you are :P. Together since 03/10/2011: Me: Jessica 18, living in Brazil. He: Kenny 23, living in Belgium. He came to brazil on 31/10/2012 After spending almost every second together, we found in each other soulmates and the perfect love.
We didn't post that many after my travel to Brazil....
And I can hear you all thinking we should write more.
So you all are going to be sad, since this will be the last post we'll do...and here is why....
From the moment my princess got to Belgium we aren't longer in a long distance relationship.
She decided to stay here in Belgium with me (making me extremely happy :d as you all can imagine :d)
So here we are...together.
Looking back to all we did for having this, all looks like a fairy tale that became reality.
We are really happy having eachother and are enjoying our time.
She is going to school to study Dutch and French ( I have to work so she is busy during the day, and it's great for her future aswell)
Learning very fast I'm sure she'll speak great Dutch in little time ( have to start doing portuguese else she'll be better than me:p), so maybe after that she can even go to college or university here..depending on what she likes to do.
I have to say she adapted so easy...not complaining about anything. Making the best of everything (even the cold isn't a problem)
Looking forward to travel back to Brazil with her for vacation.
Not really much more to write...
Just that everything is going great...
Both feeling we found the love we always wanted, and planning on making it last a lifetime.
Hope our story was an inspiration for people that are in the same situation.
Good luck to you all, and don't give up when it gets little harder...true love wins and is worth the wait
and all remember...true love is something beautifull, feeling you found your second half.
She is my girl, my best friend, my future wife, my love, my world, my all
All feels great until now in Belgium ... what is a surprise for me ... I've read about Belgium before coming and I was already desperate, losing nights of sleep thinking it would be such a hard time. Some Brazilian woman has a Blog saying that she spent the worse years of her life here ... what made me scared as hell.
The truth is that I shouldn't have read. She had a bad experience maybe because she had to give up on an stable life ( she isn't that young ).
I'm glad i'm here and I can experience myself.
What did I find here? A lovely family in a country where people are whiter than i'm used to.
People are little more cold but never rude as I thought, sometimes in the street they talk to me but I don't answer ... sometimes because i'm not sure if they are really talking to me, or because I have no idea what they talk about, so I think i'm the rude one :p . Sometimes they say things like veel plezier but sounds like f#ck off, that's why I almost never answer if someone say something in dutch for me.
The cold is pretty OK, I almost don't feel, because almost never we're outside a building.
I miss home yes, but Kenny , mom Rita , dad Benny and broer Michel are always doing their best to make me feel comfortable.
So I feel great here. I'm grateful for having a chance like that and for being so blessed in having such a lovely family here taking great care of me.
Is better than I could ever imagine in my best dreams :D
Knowing all I know now I would have told to myself in the past to do not worry that much.
If someone had some bad experience in something does not mean you're going to have the same ...
Hey guys ...
long time you don't hear from us. We were busy planning to be together again ... and guess what ... we did it.
the month we spent apart was really hard for us... actually horrible, but from the moment we started feeling he would have to leave and we would be apart again we started the plan ...
Wasn't easy ... to a Brazilian travel to Europe is very expensive ... passport , health insurance , tickets , invitation letter , the money you have to have in Euro, warm clothes ... really hard ... couldn't do in so little time without the help from Kenny and his sweet parents ...
After the planning month finally the day came 28/12/2012 my travel started , taking a plane to Portugal all alone without knowing what I would find in the other part of the world ... I was soooooo lucky , the girl that were besides me was going to meet her boyfriend that she met on Internet as well ... so many common things, so the time passed really fast with the nice movies and music they had on plane ... ( just the food was little weird) ... soon we were in Lisbon ... such a big airport, enjoying to do girl stuff ... trying things and buying make up :p time to say goodbye to Danielle and take my plane to Brussels ... 2:50h flying but I slept all flight ( even missed the food :P ) but then they gave me a little chocolate and I knew I was in Belgium :p ...
It was really sux at Brussels' airport where everyone couldn't understand what i was asking (pff i just wanted to know where the exit was) and they answered parler français?
Totally lost ... not knowing where my suitcases were or the exit :p but in the end all went fine :p
Dad Benny , Mom Rita and Kenny were patiently waiting for me and they received me warmly
My time has being great in Belgium... couldn't be more happy ...
well ... I will let you see how is it.
After people asking us to write something more about how all is going, guess it's time to do.
What can I say...back to the old, time spending on computer talking to each other.
Always remembering the month we shared together, seeing the pictures we made, the videos we did.
Knowing what I have waiting for me and thinking about all that is possible for us in the future makes everything easier to handle...still the missing and longing to be with her again is hard.
I miss Brazil, wishing every day I was still there with her, but I'm not
Even rice and beans :p that first looked like a strange combination,but is nice, same as coxinha :o the crazy busrides the crazy hot sun that makes me look like a lagosta frita :d
I miss all
It's hard to get back to reality here, too cold, being without her again..isn't nice.
But all will be solved soon.
My visit to her, spending the month together, made everything intenser.
Not much more to write about for now...
Just I've never been so sure about anything as about all I'm doing with her...
I'm sure she's the one, wanting a lifetime together with her.
It just takes little time to make it all true
I'm back in Belgium :'( cold as hell here, missing my girl like crazy and Brazil too.
I remember the day going to the airport, not sleeping before because of being excited.(and scared of the flying :p).
All new, since I never was in an airport before. Finding my way to the gate :d
waiting there untill it was boarding time.
So there I went..entering the plane. Looking at my seat, at the window ( great place to be).
Driving slow to the run way, my heart already bouncing like crazy...the plane stopping getting ready to give everything it has to get us in the air...
Engines making noise, impressed by the acceleration of the thing (even it doesn't look like it was meant to leave the ground :p)
actually was great to experience (nothing to be scared of actually).
Before even realizing we left, it was already time to land in Madrid ( 2 hours so not that long).
Time for the long flight...was little afraid of that, is really long to do 9-10h. Good I was able to sleep most of the time..
Last flight...1 hour to get to my girl, already feeling very nervous, but happy at the same time.
Touching the ground time to collect my suitcase..passing the exit..I saw mom waving and holding a paper, even the little monkey (pedro being little brother) holding paper too.
Then I saw my girl, hiding a little behind the people that were infront of her.
Couldn't go there yet even I wanted but had to go get my suitcase.
Having them, time to go to her and the family.
Barely left the door she came ran up to me and hugged and kissed me...
Actually it felt great having her in my arms and feeling her lips against mine...it all felt so euhm natural like I was just coming back after a long time apart.
From that moment on we have been together every minute ( no no toilet visits I did alone)
Enjoying every second...going out to the mall, going to porto seguro,bakery actually everything...even doing nothing never felt so good with her by my side just hugging and kissing.
That's how it is when being in love like we are..enjoying everything aslong as we're together.
She's everything I want, beautifull,smart,sweet,funny and I love the way she looks at me with those pretty eyes.
Being with her in real only made things intenser for us, like we feeling the love even harder than we already did when talking online.
So as great as the time was, as fast it went by :(
before really realizing the day came closer that I had to get back.
Like she wrote that day felt horrible :(
Feels so bad knowing the time is ticking by, wishing you could stop it.
saying bye to the family was already hard enough.
and thinking I had to leave my girl there already was breaking my heart:'(
going to the airport having her in my arms,not saying much, just wanting to hold and kiss her.
the moment came closer and closer.
Was so hard leaving everything there.
After huging and kissing her I had to check in...but we saw a window earlier where we could still see each other for the time I had to enter the plane.
I went there and seeing her...touching the glass oh pff breaking my heart in so many pieces :'( knowing it was really the last time I would see her in real.
feeling so bad and having to do such big travel is really bad..not able to sleep in the plane or anything ( even because the woman behind me was a bitch kicking and pulling my chair too much)
So with that short review of the things I can say I have the best girl in the world..she's the one for me
(strange how that one person can be so far away but alright we'll find our way).
How about Brazil? well it's a great country.
Always warm ( even hot being like 39°), I find out it's easier to adapt to the heat than to the cold in belgium..really hating it here right now.
People are friendly, and contrary what people here think...I never felt any danger or treath even we went out at night all the time.
People are happy with the little things..things that here in europe are taken for granted.
Nothing looks the same what for me really has its charms...
Everything is opened untill very late ( going to the mall 8pm isn't something we can do here)
Public transport is pretty cheap but they are crazy and crowded as hell.
Roads aren't that nice( but hey isn't easy to make great roads when you're in a country where the landscape isn't as flat as here in belgium...think if we have the same here the roads would be even worse than in Brazil.
Loving the music ( we went to a show and I even dance so figure out) and the nice things is most of the people enjoy the music.
The food in general is great...rice and beans is easy to get used to ( even it's healthy so)
Life isn't easy there, but I'm sure people there are a lot happier than here in belgium because they don't care that much about what other people think of them...they just feel happy or find their way to be happy appreciating the little things in life, different than the material things most europeans like.
So having the love of my life, a great family in Brazil, me loving brazil what else I want?
right...having her with me all the time..something that we'll solve soon.
Today the
day started very strange, everyone with that face that was about to cry, and knowing that Kenny was leaving made all be a shit. I
knew this day would come but I wasn’t ready
.
You know
when you have to let your most precious thing go? you feel a huge emptiness
inside and nothing seems to be ok. :s
We woke up
earlier than usual (12:00) (usually we
do like 16:00) And the day went by so fast … we barely had time to enjoy each
other's presence ... actually everything went fast,
In the way
to the airport today I remembered when I was going to pick him up for the first
time (I felt so much things at the time, butterflies in my stomach, my hands
were sweaty, dizzy, head spinning and a crazy desire to pee every 2 minutes ...
When I saw him I heard a buzzing sound
in my ear and nothing else but my own heart, I was hypnotized while trying to
process the information to know if I was
really living it ... And then everything came back and it was clear he was
really there ... 10 meters separated what was someday over 9000 km)
All the
time holding his hand, feeling so wronged with the facts I had the best month
of my life and suddenly it was over :s... I didn’t want to go back to real
life, I wanted to keep that feeling for life, seeing him going through that gate
made my heart break into 1 million pieces ...
I've never
felt so loved, so wanted, so understood as I felt with him. I had everything I could ever
want from a man ... He made me to experience a part of life that I thought that could never
happen in the real , or at least that
only existed in movies ...
We went
together to the movies, and for the first time and I didn’t feel aversion of
the love between the characters, I honestly felt that what I was living was
better than any love story that I've ever seen ...
You know
when you are free to be exactly who you are without fear of disappointing the
other person because that person loves you just the way you are?!
Because that's how I felt with Kenny, I could be myself all the time, with all
my faults, and yet I was loved and felt the only one for
him.
I never
expected that this would be so intense ... Kenny went out of his comfort zone
to get in a third world country where he didn't know a shit, not even the language and he accepted everything with simplicity and
serenity. He made my culture his culture, my family his family, my tastes
his tastes , my life as our life. He
accepted my so different way to live without complaining, he shared all the good
things he had with us, he brought
happiness to my home, my family and my life,
I thank God
for everything that happened to me and for have met a person with a so beautiful soul as Kenny. I was happy like I never was in my life and I tell you
with my heart : DO NOT GIVE UP no matter what people say or what they think, keep patient
because if the love is real there’s no stopping for you.
Hey there!!!
I haven't post as much as I'd like but spending the time Kenny is surely my priority at the moment.
Everyday is a better day, still everything has been perfect. We traveled last weekend to the city where some of my relatives live and part of them met Kenny ... useless to say that they all liked him ...
We went to some concert too, it was very nice ... nice music, nice people and nice to see Kenny doing his best dancing with me :D
We spent almost all the time with my cousin Carol, she's a nice girl ( besides people hating when we're together, we laugh of everything , acting like stupid little girls)
Kenny had a haircut lol now he's 98745633114485755 times hotter (still i miss that soft long hair :'( )
That's all ... not much to say ... at this time my heart is already broken :( ...tomorrow is our last night together before he leaves :(:(:( yeaah, but soon we'll be together again ... that's the life
Hey there ...
Today we'd like to share with you all the story of our newest friends, that are really nice people and have a lot in common with us ...
One more prove to the sceptics that true love wins (:
so here it is :D
Our story is a matter of being lucky …
-Moving from Belgium to Brasil-
One
day me ( bram ) was sitting home being bored as hell till a friend
told me to check out Omegle where you talk to strangers so If I
would have logged on omegle 1 second later I maybe would have never met
my wife …( www.omegle.com ) . so I thought sure why not … after
talking to a lot of people I found that one person , who actually
said as first thing ( will you marry me …) so I just answered ( sure
but only if you have children with me ) … but we never meant it
serious … but still we were talking about a lot of crap after all so
after some hours the person had to leave and I asked her for her Msn (
that moment I still didn’t know if the person was male / female or
the age of the person .
After that we kept talking with
each other for some months then we decided to meet each other and
after long thinking we felt like marrying , we used to talk +-
18 hours a day with each other every day using skype , msn and all that
. then once I had all the money to go buy my flight ticket ( after a
lot of help from family and friends ) I just gone straight to the
airport and just bought my ticket to come to brasil - 19 august
was my flight ( first time on a plane and alone ) . before coming
here I had a lot of trouble to get all the paper work done and so on ,
once I arrived here I had again trouble because I couldn’t enter
Brasil because brasil has those nice people working in the airport who
don’t speak English …( and that after a 18 hour flight is really
annoying .. ) so I arrived in the morning at 5:30 and and finally got
to see my girlfriend at 7:30 where she was waiting for me with her
younger sister and her father...
I had 90 days to
decide If I really wanted to stay here and marry or go back to my home
country ( Belgium ) so I really felt that she was the one love for me
so then I decided to marry her … took a lot of paper work AGAIN but
after all we are happy together so that’s all what matters . now
nearly 3 year later we're still married and we have a 8 month old
daughter ( Ashley )
That’s our story written fast without too much details
Today is our last day in Porto seguro...
Have to say these 10 days were amazing.
My girl experiencing some new things like her first flight...diving...vacation without parents.
Like from the moment I got to Brasil, we're enjoying every second together.
Even it doesn't feel like we're together for the first time....feels like we have been together long time already, everything feeling so natural.
So day one in this place...we didn't do that much. Walking around seeing what way we have to go and so on.
Second day, well we wanted to check out what bus we had to take to go to a nice beach.
But yes here taxis' stop like crazy asking where you want to go, people sharing so everything will be cheaper..(oh and my girl is great saying they should do as cheap as a normal bus:d) so day beach without protection giving me a nice sunburn that I'm still enjoying :d ( not red anymore but well...the skin comes off)
Rest of the time we spend like going to the beach...walking around.
The streetmarketthing at night here is nice...had a coconutdrink ( didn't taste like I was expecting but ok:d had the experience) Tonight we'll try some strange cake thing with beans and shrimps inside.
Then of course there was the diving...a really nice moment we both enjoyed.
People here don't seem to notice I'm not from Brasil. So the instructions for diving were in portugese...the taxi drivers thinking the same so they start talking to me (I don't understand anything so I'm just sitting still and smiling, then look to Jessica and ask what he was saying :d)
Enjoying to be a gringo here.Don't understand a thing and still people keep trying :d
Anyway we went bowling aswell. A little place. We enjoyed it, since the hour we asked for was feeling like 15 minutes (actually is like this all the time....time seems to fly, even I wish it would stop)
Oh yes...I like coxinha:d and Guarana antarctica and kuat(something like that)
Today, being our last day...we went to another beach that I forgot the name(since all the names are too hard to speak for my I don't even remember:d)
But I do know we went to visit the indians :d relaxing with the real locals.
Little museum with really 2 cute girls...very little, showing the visitors around.
Like always I didn't understand a thing but ok :d
Now we're watching little tv before we go eat and go to the nightmarketstreetthing again to buy some things for the family.
Tomorrow we'll be going back home (Mom cooking again,eating the food she makes,diong allt he things we did before we got hre...will be great)
Actually doesn't matter where we are....when we're together we enjoy every second.
Take care boys and girls:d

Hey ...
Not much to do so I will write a post.
He's right here besides me sleeping ... and I still have the same feelings of the first day.
Every time he touches me, or when he smile , or even when he is being a pain in my ass ( yes , he does but actually I like ;D ) I feel that he is the best choice I ever made, every single day waiting for something that I didn't know if would happen was worth it.
We're having such a nice time together and feels like we're together for ages.
We're still traveling and all going so well (but honestly I miss my mom already) we're going to back to my place in some days with lots of stories to tel, lots of lessons learnt ( going to a place where you know shit and your parents aren't around is like beingforced to grow up20 yearsin a few days, and we've been doing that like a boss :D) Even if I try hard i couldn't describe at all how Kenny treats me ... he's really a gentleman, so sweet , so funny, so cute , so full of good things , willing to live my culture ( he eats rice everyday #poor thing,going to betraumatized.#).
We do something new everyday, like diving , bowling , beach, a new restaurant , a new kind of food, cinema , and even if not, it is never boring to do nothing with him, he always have something nice to tell, to show , to teach , same way as we always did by internet.
We met a couple that have almost the same story , she's from Brazil and he's from Belgium, met by internet, he came to visit her 2 years ago and he's still here, they married and have a beautiful daughter. They are really brave and one more example that true love wins ( I will ask them to write their story here).
Well , that's it , time to stop ...
Hope to hear from you all soon!!!!
