Everyone has a unique love story about how they met “the one”. Let me tell you mine.
It all started in February 2009 when I had the urge to go and visit this local psychic that a couple of my girlfriends had been to. They swore by what he said and were shocked at how much was actually true. So, out of curiosity I went. I told myself I wasn’t gonna give him ANY hints, and I def wasn’t going to take anything he said too seriously. He said a lot of accurate things, detailed descriptions about people in my life and a lot of future possibilities for me. And one of those possibilities involved finding the man I was going to marry. But I wasn’t just going to find him on accident…he was going to be “introduced to me through a friend”.
Psychic: “You have a trip coming up. To California. LA in particular. Have you planned that yet?”
Me: “No.”
Psychic: “You will. That’s where you’ll meet him.”
At that point, I had NEVER been to the United States and I had nooo intentions of ever going. Canada was all I knew. So I kinda thought, “Mehhh, whatever. I’ll see if that even happens.” A few months later I got a text from my friends planning this LA/Vegas trip and asked if I wanted to go. *Insert big eyed shock emoji here*
WTF. The damn psychic was right!! About the trip anyways. Then I get to thinking about this man in shining armour I’m suppose to meet. I didn’t want to expect it and then it not happen, so I tossed the idea out of mind and didn’t think about it again.
So now it’s trip time, and we are on the way to LA. My girlfriend Vanessa mentions that she knows this YouTube guy who lives in LA and he’s gonna stop by and say what’s up. As we wait in the parking lot of this hotel this YouTube guy, Tim, (check out his channel here) and his friend Rick (also a YouTube guy…check out his channel here) show up. Tim, Rick and Vanessa greet each other, and she introduces them to our group of friends.
Now, let me backtrack.
Tim and Vanessa had been YouTube friends for a few years already. By YouTube friends I mean they both had channels and watched each others videos. So, they had a discussion about how cute Tim thought I was. I had nooo idea Tim even knew who I was, and I sure as hell didn’t know who he was. So when we met he had already creeped me on Facebook and I distinctly remember him saying hi to me for the first time and I was like “Oh, hey.” in an uninviting way LOL. In my mind, I was like,” Don’t talk to me, new boy, I have a boyfriend!” New girls are so cold sometimes, aren’t they?! Can’t a boy say hi without thinking they’re hitting on us?! NO. For some reason in our minds they can’t. And I was 20 at the time. Young and silly with no logic behind my thoughts.
To fast forward, after the LA trip, Tim and I became Facebook friends. Don’t ask me why he wanted to be friends with a snobby, terrible first impression girl. Well actually I did know. He thought I was CUTE, regardless if I was snobby or not.
After we became Facebook friends we exchanged a few messages (completely innocent), but that didn’t last long and died out quick. The relationship I was in at the time, ended a few weeks later and because I was single I now had freedom to message whoever I wanted. With saying that, I initiated a convo with Tim, which took him by surprise because the initial conversation ended as quick as it started. From that point on we kept messaging back and forth for weeks. Updating each other on what we were up to. He just started gaining popularity in the YouTube world and travelling for shows, so his life was more exciting than mine. I just kept him up to date with that TV shows I was currently watching. Prison Break to be exact. Tim started to become this funny online companion that I enjoyed talking to. Someone who was always there to message and help pass the time. So message after message I slowly started to think to myself, “Hey! I kinda like this guy.” And I was kinda hoping that he was starting to feel the same way.
After a YEAR of Facebook messaging, it just so happened that we were going to be in Toronto the same weekend (call it fate) and we made plans for me to come check out his show! I dragged my girlfriend with me and it just so happened that her boyfriend was hosting the event Tim was performing at. So, it all ended up working out quite nicely in the end. Tim invited us to the after party and we sipped on free alcohol and danced the night awaaaay (sounds cheesy, but it’s true). Toronto came to an end and I definitely thought, “I LIKE THIS GUY” and guess what?! The feeling was mutual… 😉
Now came the tricky part. I lived in Canada. Tim lived in LA. Neither of us ever had a long distance relationship before, but we were willing to put it to the test. So what did we do?! Said eff it and ignored all odds and hoped it wouldn’t be an issue down the road. We slowly, but surely became frequent flyers.
Eventually, Tim officially asked me to be his girlfriend in the cutest way. As I flew into LAX and came down the escalator to baggage claim, I found him standing there with a bouquet of roses and a sign that said “Chia Habte”. Like one of those drivers that pick you up, you know the kind. As I stared at him in awe he flipped the sign around and it said, “Will you be my girlfriend?” Isn’t that the CUTEST?! We’ve been a couple ever since.
We are now going on 4 years and our relationship consists of planned visits and many many flights. Let me make this very clear. Long distance is not for everybody. It’s a lot of work and it absolutely will test your relationship in ways it normally wouldn’t. We’ve come to appreciate the small things and not think twice about fighting over things that don’t matter. In my heart I knew I had found the one when all the miles in between didn’t mean a thing and realized distance really does make the heart grow fonder.

These are the flowers and sign Tim had for me when he asked me to be his girlfriend as he picked me up from LAX September 2, 2011. Cute, right?

You are very rare miss chia, long distance relationship are very challenging and not for the week hearted. The love you both share are rare and unique, it can and will withstand the test of time. Live, laugh, love.
Hi Chia! So I’ve been watching Timothy’s videos since forever ago! I love him! He’s so funny! He was with Iliana when I started watching him. It was weird seeing him with a new girlfriend at first. In your blog you said you guys were Facebook messaging for a year!? So he still with Iliana when he would message you? It seemed like he moved on fast from her to you in his vlogs.
He’s pretty great! Remember, vlogs aren’t in real life time. Thanks for reading!
Omg this is such a cute post & story. I love it??
Looks like you guys are made for each other. You seem like a gem so why wouldn’t he love you?!
Hey Chia I was thinking of visiting a psychic for love advice. I have currently been with my boyfriend for 2 years. Some days feel right some days don’t. What was your opinion on visiting a psychic? Would you recommend it? And how would I find a good, honest psychic not a fake?
I went into the session with no expectations and I didn’t go in looking for any answers. I was just curious to see what he would say. I would recommend it if you just want to entertain yourself, but certainly don’t go just because your seeking answers. Their readings may not be accurate, so you don’t want to take everything to heart. The way I found this psychic was a referral from a couple of friends. This psychic never advertises, which is a good indication that he works through word of mouth. Word of mouth is the best referral, in my opinion.
Perhaps you should break down why some days don’t feel right. If they are minor issues that can be worked through then you should be okay, but if it’s much larger than that you should look at the bigger picture.
Hope this helps a little. <3
Wow that’s crazy!! What was the psychic’s name? Anyways, goodluck to you and Tim, you guys are inspirational 🙂
Love you and Tim! I’m with tims parents you guys should have a baby already lol! I’m excited for you guys and wish you guys the best!
Haha, giiiirl! Too much pressure from everyone, so I’m going to intentionally not listen to any of you! 😉
Congratulations on your blog launch, cha cha! Love ya girl.
Love you more, bebe! Thanks for the support! <3
Cutest story! i love this so much <3
I LOVEDDDDD READING LOBE STORY. I mean i’ve heard before because Tim did told it a couple of times but not as good and detailed like you! You guys are awesome and best couple ever❤️
Awe! Thank you so much, I’m glad you liked it.
where is this psychic though? i need him
He lives in Saskatchewan!
Wow what a great story I don’t really like reading but this one made me read the whole thing ??
Yay, that means I succeeded!
i laughed at the part where you said “ew don’t talk to me i have a boyfriend” because that was the same thing i thought when my boyfriend tried to talk to me .. overall this is such a cute story thank you chia for taking your time to write this sweet love story ! God bless you and your love life Tim <3
Hey chia, thanks for sharing your adorable love story! I really enjoyed it! I am from saskatchewan and I am really interested in seeing a psychic. Where can I find him?
Send me an e-mail. 😉
I cried A little ? Jk Definelty will keep up with your Blogs tho .
Me too!
I loveeeeeee this blog Chia!!!! I’ve been following Tim on Youtube since day one loool! This blog is bookmarked in my phonee 🙂 ! #fan #from #montreal
Hey Chia! Thank you for sharing your love story with Tim! I totally get what you mean when you say it isn’t for everybody. I’m 3 months in to a NY->FL relationship, and I already know that I’m willing to make the effort to work this relationship- so does he. 🙂 but it is TOUGH. The problem is that we don’t have a lot of money to travel back and forth frequently. Also, I’m a grad student, and when the semester gets into full swing, I won’t really have that much time either.
When you and Tim aren’t able to see each other for a while, how do you deal (personally, and collectively) with it?
Thanks!!!
-Abby
Thanks for writing me! Honestly, Tim and I enjoy our time apart lol. We are such busy people in our own lives that the time apart goes by SO fast! Of course there are times that suck, but a Face Time goes along way.
Loved this! You can absolutely tell you guys are meant for each other! 🙂
Thank you so much!
Gosh, this story is super cute. Talk about fate and unexpected events. What is the name of the psychic?! Now I’m curious about my future??? Lol
Hey girl! Have you heard of any psychic’s in Toronto ??
Noo…I haven’t. I will keep my ears open, though!
Hi Chia! Great story! I’m so glad you decided to start a blog bc you seem like such a cool, down-to-earth person, who wouldn’t want to read about your life, right? Lol. Also you’re a great writer. And it’s time we finally get to know more about the girl in Tim’s videos, his better half! Much love and support xoxo, Lauren from Hawaii
Hello Lauren from Hawaii! Thank you for your kind words. You’re the best!
You’re so polite & nice! I never read blogs, but I’ve seen your guys videos & their super cute! You’re such a role model to everyone! Thanks for sharing!

C.H.I.A. is still one of the best love songs I’ve ever heard, you are both so lucky.
Ayee! Tim’s lady is dope! Congrats!
Thank You!
very loving story. i hope the best for you and your family.
Hey Chia! I’ve watched Tim’s videos from time to time and I think you two are just the cutest couple and so funny with the way y’all act with each other. Thanks for sharing your side of how you met. That’s really cute how he asked you to be his girl. Continue working on the relationship..definitely a lot to keep up with him but you definitely balance each other out. It’s inspiring, your love.
Cutest!!!

I’m glad to hear! Thank you so much!=)<3
You guys are the cutest! I look forward to following on your adventures and seeing your blog grow! <33
Thank you!
Such a great love story :).
I loved Tim videos for years and been supporting him for so long and it was nice to get the story from your point of view.!!? Haha such an inspiring couple much love guys.
Thanks Chia!
I remember following Tim’s life back then and seeing you pop up in a video and saying to myself “damn, what a nice (and pretty) girl!”.
Anyway, I really appreciate what you have to say about distance – no frequent flyer miles here, but racking up the odometer.
I’m glad to see you guys so well and happy (I stopped following Timmy when he started rolling in dough; not entirely sure what happened but I kind of just got off YouTube). I have him on Insta though so I do see his life, and you as well from time to time.
Anyway,
Happy new year, and stay peachy.
Lawd,
It’s interesting the reacting you get when speaking to new girls. Things are done so differently now, that meeting new people outside of an online application/social network is strange to most people. Your reaction initially towards Tim is all too familiar.
Good on him for persisting, and you to making it happen. I think you guys make a great couple and are both pretty damn entertaining.
-rj
Haha, thank you so much!
You told the story soooo much better than Tim! lol So cute. I wish you both the best.
Xoxo!!
Chia!!
I just wanted to say how much I admire you!!! I remember the moment I “fell in love” with you. I was watching one of Tim’s vlogs and you were taking off your makeup and he jokingly said “shitty face” and you were like “No. Shitty boyfriend.” That’s right girl!!! If your bf doesn’t like your face, you don’t change your face, you change your bf. And from that moment, I just became inspired by your confidence; whether that’s the fact that you do what you love, have your own business, or that you don’t need Tim to love yourself. Thanks for making this blog!!! I look forward to connecting with you.
PS: If you could email the name and contact of that psychic, I will FOREVER and EVER be grateful!!! Stay blessed!!!

Chia,
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year now. We are going to be high school seniors this coming fall which means soon enough we will be in college. I am extremely scared to potentially be in a long distance relationship and I was wondering how you ‘stay peachy’ without worrying if he might fall for someone else when we are far away.
Listen up, girly! No need to worry about the future. You’re in high school and still so young! Live for the moment and you can decide what you want to do when the time comes.
[…] my boyfriend, Tim, was in my hometown visiting me, and because I get a lot of questions about my long distance relationship, I thought I’d share a bit of our visit with you. Tim asks me a serious question, but really […]
Hey chia I just started reading your blogs today and as I’m reading this one in particular all I can say is “wow” that is an amazing way to meet someone and your story touched my heart and made me cry. You both are very strong people to have a long distance relationship, I don’t know if I can ever do that but that’s absolutely amazing that you both make it work.
AWE!! That is the sweetest comment! We’ve come a long way and it’s definitely not for everybody, but it’s worth it (in my eyes).
I appreciate your new love to Just Peachy, you are welcome back at any time!
Chia,
I love how you reply to so many of your readers. My question is how often do you and Tim see each other? Also are there any things/activities you recommend long distance couples do? I’m in an LDR and my BF and I are doing things like watching new shows together and playing chess through an app.
Thanks! Keep up the great blog 🙂
Hello!
I try to keep up with the comments, forsure! Tim and I probably see each other like…every…4-6 weeks or so. It helps that we are both self employed so we can both make our relationship a priority. I like that you guys play chess through an app, that’s cute! We use an app called “Couple” and you can draw together, thumb kiss (SO CUTE), play tic tac toe, and send audio notes. It’s a good app for couples in general, especially LDRs!
You guys should try it!
OMG how cute!! September 2nd is my birthday!!
Really?! Yaayy! It’s a day of celebration!
Chia you and Tim are the perfect couple
Lol, awwwww geeeeez. <3
[…] feels like it’s only been one year. You can find a super detailed story on how Tim and I met, here. I don’t want to get too lovey dovey (because it’s just annoying), but I of course want […]
If you think about it, he did want to hit on you ’cause he already thought you were cute. Lol. I love you guys’ story. 😊
Beautiful couple!!!
Thank you so much!
I live in canada too! do you mind if i got the name of your psychic?
I can’t hand his name out, sorry!
I love this story. It’s currently 2:22 AM. I couldn’t sleep so I thought about your blog then I saw the “our love story” on the right hand corner of popular posts. I laughed and smiled once I got to the part where Tim was holding the sign and the flowers. That was super cute!! How can you not say no?! So cute and such a smooth move on his part. (lol).. But, thank you for sharing your story. I am also seeing a friend who is long distance. It hasn’t gotten to that part of “dating” yet but we shall see.. =) Thanks for inspiring.
~ashlee.kay
Thank you for thinking of Just Peachy late at night when sleep is a struggle! Good luck with your long distance relationship, love is totally worth fighting for!
Xo,
Chia
Oh, I got a bit choked up.:) I’ve been a fan of Tim’s since his early YouTube days and it was cool to see him find an awesome girl like you. Happy for you guys! <3
AWE! Thank you babe. We appreciate your love and support!!

This is awesome! I love both of you.
