Long-distance relationships have always been a challenge to maintain, even before the pandemic. With covid now firmly sutured into our day-to-day life, long-distance couples are now forced to add yet another reason that they need to keep their distance; even when there are plenty of chances to unite :(

Before covid, there wasn't much restriction when it comes to planning a trip or orchestrating a romantic surprise visit. Sadly, now it is simply unattainable.

Despite the world continuing to force ourselves away from our beloved, we can still continue to find ways to be together; albeit virtually. In a world where video calls are possible, we can try to make sure that our communication with one another is always maintained regardless of the distance. Although the circumstances may sometimes get the best of us, still, we try.

At this point, we're all dead tired of seeing "poor connection" plastered across our screen whenever we're in the middle of a video call. It's just so frustrating, especially during the bad days. This is where we need to thank Maxis for their fast, reliable internet service that conveniently meets the needs of long-distance communication. Uninterrupted video calls wherever you are? That alone is a big enough blessing for LDR couples, thanks to Maxis. 

This short film by DanKhoo Productions depicts the highs and lows of long-distance relationships that will be guaranteed to get you all in your feels, especially if you can relate. Watch these celebrities' heartfelt reactions to this video if you don't believe us!

This video demonstrates just how emotionally demanding long-distance relationships can be, even more so in a pandemic. But with a little self-motivation (and a good internet service!), you can achieve all that you set your mind to.
