Getting To Know Someone Better..
No one knows anyone 100% well, even between wives and husbands, parents and kids, let alone girl friends and boy friends. And that includes my Giant and I. Although we have spent time to get to know each other for almost three years now, we still don't know each other well 100%.However in order to get to know each other better (much bigger than just 25%
), I will keep trying to ask him questions or to ask him to do something for me, or simply to just say something and then see how he would react.So the other day, when he was having breakfast, I asked him about happiness.. his happiness.
Me : Hey Hans darling?
Him : Yes my Princess..
Me : What makes you happy?
Him : Eating Apple Fritters and talking to my girl!
We both smiled
and then burst into laughter. 
Hmm.. I guess I know him quite well when it comes to his happiness.. our happiness!
Yesss.. it's just a smile and a laughter away.

Me : Honey, I told you how much my Saudi friend trusted me, right?
Him : Yesss.. and?
Me : Well, how much do you trust me?
Him : Hmm.. let me think.
Me : Don't take too long as I may fall asleep.
Him : Hahaha.. Ok. How about I trust you close to 100%
Me : So you don't trust me 100%?
Him : I can explain, Kal.
Me : Hey, no worries. Although to me, either you trust me 100% or you don't trust me, I can understand why you don't. In fact, I can see how sensible you are. Now what sort of things you don't trust me with?
Him : For now I could only think of 2 things.. using hammers and driving..!
We both burst out laughing as we both knew that he was right...
We might trust some people with some things but not with others,
and so there is no such thing as "I trust you 100%" without knowing "what with?"
Me : In that situation, what makes you happy, my Hans?
Him : Eating Pizza and talking to my Girl..!
We both laughed..
Hmm.. I was so happy to see him laughing.
You need to report Loopy
I really loved your blog Getting to know somebone better was really an education for me. I do ask questions in a relationship but I would want to know more
good to see youhapy and in love!
about to join a meeting here, catch up later!
nevermind the delusional banana...glad you are happy...
But thank you much for your kind words, Merc!.
You're an intriguing storyteller of ordinary things.
Hi Kal, my Mom rang me, asking how you are.
She heard the news about the earthquake in Indonesia.
Me
Ooohh.. such a lovely lady your Mom is.
Please do tell her that I am fine and thank her for the concern
I felt the tremor, but a little.
So nothing bad happened. Alhamdulillah..
Him
I will tell her.
She asked me to have something with you.
Can she have your phone number?
Me
Ooh she sure can, honey!
Hmm.. Isn't it nice to know that I was in her heart..?
You're an intriguing storyteller of ordinary things.
Sometimes, when a good funny thing happened, I wanted to share it. At the same time, I kinda "recorded" it as my CS diary. I know some might find it stupid, but it's ok with me.
When we watched movies, we chose whom we would be if we're in the movies or "If I were x, whom you would be?" thingy. For example, when we watched the STAR WARS, my Giant chose to be "Hansolo" (he knows well that the Actor has been my favorite). Ofcourse laaah I would choose to be "Princess Leia"
Last time we watched "The Conductor".
So I asked him: "If I were Antonia Brico, whom would you be?"
I was completely surprised when he told me his choice..
He said: "I would be Eleanor Roosevelt, the First Lady!"
My Giant is so very amazing, eh?!
Self-actualization is the complete realization of one’s potential, and the full development of one’s abilities and appreciation for life. This concept is at the top of the Maslow hierarchy of needs, so not every human being reaches it.
While self-actualizers hail from a variety of backgrounds and a diversity of occupations, they share notable characteristics in common, such as the ability to cultivate deep and loving relationships with others.
Ok, I'll rephrase it..
Because that compliment is from someone who doesn't say nice things to please someone in order to gain a personal advantage
Naahh.. it's too long.
/\/\/\/\/\/\ And generosity of spirit.
On November 27th (my time), my Giant had to put his beloved Sparta to sleep.

Season's Greetings to you and your family, Mercedes,

His Son : Why?
My Giant : Just asking, to know your opinion.
His Son : Well.. whatever makes you happy, Dad!
My Giant : Did you hear that, Kal?
Me : Yess .. yeeehhhhaaaaww!
PS
His Mom, his Brother, his youngest Son, and his Aunt have already given our relationship their blessings.
His eldest Son and his Sister are the ones I have to hear from. (finger crossed)

If there is no more travel restriction due to covid,
then my Giant will be here to meet me and my family on April 2023.
Then I will fly there to meet his family.

I hope all goes according to plan.
Here in SA all restrictions have been lifted so long ago that I actually forgot that there are still countries that have restrictions on covid.
I have missed his smiles, his laughter, his jokes.. and I almost couldn't hide my tears when I saw him on skype video. Oh I so wish I am there for him and doing something real to help.
Some people would rather to be left alone when they are sick in order to give them more time to rest. So I asked my Giant.
Me : Honey, when I live with you there, what do want me to do when you're sick?
Him : I want you to stay away and keep yourself healthy.
I was like.. wwhhaattt..??!
Hmm.. don't call me Kalpataru if I just listen and say yes.
So I left him a WA message.
and showed him one of comments I got.
Kal-de-Frog, two fried eggs?
However, to avoid "inconveniences", I deleted that blog.
Anyway, my Giant said:
"Tell that man that I love my Kal's two fried eggs very much!"
And I was like.. yeeehaaaww!!
Hmm.. from the way my Giant has treated me,
how can I not want him so badly ..
But the question remains unanswered as to what was the similarity alluded to in the 2nd pic?

The new plan is.. I will fly to the USA to visit my Giant and his family.
The vaccine certificate is still required to enter and leave the airport.
Why?
I am sure just to prevent and to protect.
Nope. He is in a very good condition.
Yes..
Just posted the update.
Where is the update?
Giant might have a single cousin
Your country is doing the right thing
PS
I'll be back to respond your other comments.
Real tough time tend to bring out either the best in you or the worst.

Personal opinion
However, someone's true character can also be brought out through 'good times' too.
There are maaaany rich people have affairs.
So knowing someone better is a never ending process.. a life time journey.. in every situation.
And thaaaat, my friend, is my personal opinion.
