You know, if we’ve learned ANYthing from watching “Ally McBeal,” it’s that true love is rare enough that, if the chance for it comes along, you MUST take whatever risk necessary to pursue it.
Sorry if that sounds glib.
I’m a sentimental slob when talking about MY woman, so I’m not going to criticize anyone who is crazy for a lover/soulmate/significant other.
Congrats on getting back together again and finding that the flame is still there! I hope it all works out for you two.

Thank you for such hope and well-wishes. It’s nice to see a T-Man who holds such a value on his relationship…your lady must be so happy! And likewise, best of luck with you and yours!

I love reading these threads. Everyone’s intelligent and stupid comments help me take my mind off the b.s. I have to deal with daily here in Kuwait. I wish the best for Chinadoll and her man. May you live prosperous lives together.
I think it’s absolutely ok for HPD_Iron to write about his feelings. While I don’t really care if some couple found love through some obstacles, I do appreciate the story. However like all things and topics, it’s not just what you’re expressing but how you express it. I think if HPD_Iron had simply left out comments like “we’re beautiful couple that people are jealous of”, there would be a lot less negative comments from others. But one would still have to deal with silly comments that this is a “gay thread”. Whatever. Few others have posted threads that’s similar to what I’m writing here, but what’s interesting is that in ChinaDoll and HPD_Iron’s replies to this thread, they never once acknowledge a big part of the negative comments stem from the “beautiful couple” comment. For any one decides to post sappy stories, exercise some reservations.
Okay, you’re right. The “beautiful couple” comment is self-indulgent and over the top. However, the comment was made not as an exercise in vanity but more as a way to demonstrate the prospect of idealism our former relationship offered and was indeed perceived by those that knew us. Unfortunately the context in which I presented it here did not convey my intended meaning. For that I apologize.
Can’t wait for a pic of you two in an issue of M&F along side a different BB celeb…that’ll be a good one for the “locals only” scrapbook I got.
Good morning…I’m kinda giddy just getting off of night shift working in the ER, so please don’t mind if my sentences are a bit choppy.
OK, I will comment on the “beautiful couple” comment made by HPD…I don’t want to burst HPD’s bubble…but hunny, we’re not that great looking, we just have stars in our eyes and think that of one another because of the LOVE. Everyone feels that way about their partner when they’re all starry-eyed, and that’s so wonderful. My coworkers would say “awwwww” to us because HPD’s such a big huge teddy bear and always professing his love to me in front of the world and everyone, and how uncharacteristic it is for a 6’5.5" huge bodybuilding policeman to be all ya-ya like that for a 5’3" asian critical care nurse nerd like me.
HPD is not new to such public professions of love. He’s done stuff like in crowded public places, across the room shout to me that he loves me, bring red roses to my work place, buy all my coworkers Starbuck’s coffee and tell his friends how much he loves me and that I’m his princess/boss/queen/center of the universe. Being asian, I used to be extremely embarassed by these public displays, but by now, I am accustomed to it and can only appreciate the sweet, sensitive side of a guy with a reputation for being a scary, tough guy who’s “bigger than the door”. And after our breakup and separation and overwhelming reunion, I even more now than ever appreciate everything about him.
Thank you everyone who wishes us well. And likewise in your relationships too.
I love you HPD…Your hunny girl…
I live in Lawai, which is near Poipu, where all the hotels stay. I got choke family on Oahu. So I am thinkng of moving there, and do some training and massage type of jobs.
Hey Inu!
Keep us posted about your moving over here. Lots of great places to train here, and lots of BB shows here…
Love and Aloha,
china
just reading over China’s post above…China look like a very attractive hapa girl and HPD looks like the average hansum portagee-local/hawaiian. Which to me isn’t bad at all. but then again B-U-T is in the eye of the beholder yah?
BTW not to get too personal, but you work critical care? which one? Queens? Just asking cuz my sis works Queens, and usually nightshift aka graveyard.
I might be envious of the situation, but that’s because someone’s a winner.

Glad that you can find company and entertainment from us T-Maggers while you are there in Kuwait! Are you a soldier there? My coworker’s husband is there right now with the Marines…his last name is Parks. If you are a soldier, you are a true hero. God Bless!
Love and Aloha,

Hey Chubs!
With you, Inu, HPD and I, hey looks like we got our own little Hawaii-T-Mag community here! Hehe…
I work as a full time charge nurse in that Kailua hospital ER…and a staff ER nurse on call at the women and childrens’ hospital in Pearl City. I may know your sister as three of my friends work at Queen’s ICU- one each in Neuro, Medical and Trauma. HPD_Iron is currently at the Main Station…he trains at the Main Station and I train at 24 in Kaneohe.
Where are you stationed and where do you train?? I have many friends in HFD, it would be funny if you and I know one another by face from working in the EMS field, huh?!
Thanx for saying that we’re winners. It really means a lot as both HPD and I went through hell the last two years in our separation, and had many losses. Love is many things, and sometimes love is a decision.
Anyway, take care and train hard!
Love and Aloha,
chinadoll
