NATUWA ang mga netizens sa post ni KC Concepcion, na kasama ang boyfriend na si Pierre Plassart habang namimili ng prutas sa Tagaytay on their way back to Manila.

Nag-promote pa si KC sa caption niya: “Anyone want some fresh fruits? Got some from Tagaytay fruit stands along the way. Persimmon, pineapples, steamed peanuts or ‘nilagang mani’ and papaya.”

Pero sa sumunod na post ni KC, na nasa Taal Volcano sila ni Pierre, nagtanong na siya ng tungkol sa LDR (long distance relationship). Seven years ago pa nang unang magkakilala sina KC at Pierre, pero matagal silang ‘di nagkita at middle of last year lang muli sila nagkasama.

“This long distance relationship isn’t the easiest but somehow with you I know I’m safe. Had a lovely time with you always, mon amour!

“Is anyone here in an #LDR atm (at the moment)? How do you keep your love alive?”

Napakaraming sumagot at nagbigay ng experiences nila for having a long distance relationship.

Ilan sa mga sagot nila: “@coastal_ marketingmanager Been LDR for 6 years and got married in 2018 and LDR again for a year, but here we are now together and enjoying life. One best thing is putting God first and in the center of your relationship. That makes the relationship successful and strong amids distance and trials.”

Sabi ni @dinhs_pinay: “I was on LDR for five years before I married my French husband last summer. We would see each other every six months for a month long of quality time exploring new places. It was a commitment for sure. And I believe that when you’re in an LDR relationship, you should have an end goal of where & when it’s going to end up eventually. I was the one who compromised to move to France with him but we weighed a lot of the decisions based on what will be best for our future. Best of luck! You can do it guys!”

Marami sa advices kina KC at Pierre ay to put God in the midst of their relationship, constant communication and a lot of prayers, be honest and be faithful, piliin ang pagmamahalan dahil ang pinakamahalaga, pag-ibig.

Hindi raw problema ngayon ang LDR dahil sa social media na naroon ang lahat ng tools and ways to communicate, like Facetime, text and Skype.

May balak na bang magpakasal si KC? Lalo na at gustung-gusto na ng Mama Sharon (Cuneta) niya na magkaroon ng apo sa kanya, at love nito si Pierre para sa kanyang panganay.
