long overdue post: i'm back home, finally

last august 10, after 90 days in ashburn, VA usa, i flew back home. it was a long journey but it was full of anticipation. i want to see my little gabriel so bad and i just want to kiss him all over. same with myCoco, of course. since dax and i became a couple (which was 1999), i think the longest time we were away from each other was 3 days or maybe 4. we usually see each other everyday since we came from the same university and still working on the same office. and during those years when we worked separately, he picked me up at the office to take me home almost everyday.

oh well, thanks to MSN Online and Yahoo! Messenger, i get to talk to them and see them online almost everyday so it was alright. however, seeing them but not being able to get real close was tough. especially on the first weeks and last few days.

august 9th, i was already checking in online at www.nwa.com. i was so excited that i've been packing for god knows how many days already. i have two 24x18x18 boxes with me to take home with shoes, bags, and a lot of other stuffs for pasalubongs. it was so hard to fit everything but it was fun. haha! i wish i had more money to get everything i want for myself and for my family. shopping heaven.

anyways, our flight (i went home with mark) was at 1240PM from Washington Dulles to Detroit. Then 355PM from Detroit to Nagoya, Japan. And finally, 730PM from Japan to Manila - that was august 11th already. thankfully, no delays. we even arrived ahead of schedule. dax, with gabriel and my tito boloy, tita charrie and cousin tinay picked me up at NAIA. gabriel was sleeping then but he woke up when i took him from dax. he looked at me for quite some time then he started jumping and shouting and smiling. he's got 4 teeth and 4 more that's starting to come out. he's a bit heavier and he sure is louder. when we reached home and i was unpacking, he was all over my luggage as if trying to see what i bought for him. he soooo loved mickey from ninang aida and he especially loves to bite the tail. the next day, mickey was smelling like promil gold. hahaha!

i am so happy to be back home.
