rudney arrived last october 1. we were busy. bonding time and everything. while i was at the office he met with friends. dinners here and there. elite’s november rain became october fest because of him. we celebrated it in munting buhangin in batangas. johann didn’t like beach because of the waves. we had a great time though even when our van brokedown in tagaytay on our way home. we had to wait for my parents to arrive together with our mekaniko friend. since our van brokedown rudney didn’t get a chance to go home to their province. we just rented an auv for her lola so that she can go to the province. we went again to tagaytay the next saturday this time with cora’s family. had guisadong misua (courtesy of cora) for breakfast at mcdo mrt quezon ave. had lunch at leslies. instead of going to picnic grove we just transfered to one of the kubo at leslies and ordered fruits. we just let johann and cianna run freely. we took turns in looking after them. we had fun. come sunday we’re off to bohol via cebu pacific. just the 3 of us. we stayed at dumaluan beach resort (its beside bohol beach club). went swimming at the beach in the afternoon. it was low tide then. johann still remembered the waves in batangas. he doesn’t want to swim/play alone even if the water is knee high (his knees) and very calm. rudney was a bit diasppointed. we transfered to their swimming pool. we stayed first at the kiddie pool. johann can’t reach the pool floor so we put on his arm floaters. we let him get comfortable with the water first while rudney was holding him. then finally he just let go. thank God he’s not afraid anymore. the next day we toured the city. we saw the blood compact monument, cholcolate hills, man made forest, hanging bridge, loboc river (had lunch there), tarsiers and the baclayon church. before going back to the resort and since its our 2nd wedding anniversary we decided to have a feast. we had pasta, chicken, fish and beef. all from jollibee. the next day we just stayed at the resort. had breakfast then went swimming at the beach. this time johann’s not afraid anymore. before the sun got too hot we went back to our room to rest. after our siesta we went swimming again sa pool naman. after dinner i packed our handcarry bag while rudney and johann are sleeping. we still went swimming sa beach and sa pool the next morning. after swimming while johann and i watched backyardigans rudney packed our things. had an early lunch because manong will fetch us before 12. by 3pm we’re in manila na. mamang and my uncle fetched us. we met papang in robinsons pioneer for an early dinner. went home unpacked our bags then went to sm fairview. while rudney had his hair cut, i went to the grocery to buy things he”ll be bringing to US. the next day we went to citibank libis to sign some papers. then we went to mall of asia. we showed rudney around. had lunch at lamesa grill and dessert/merienda at cafe breton. after fetching mamang from ministop cybergate we went to cubao to get some padala. the next day we went to cubao again to get some last minute padala. then went to glorietta to meet some of his officemates. had lunch at mangan. after lunch went to sm makati to buy last minute habilin. then went to project 8 to visit rudney’s family. his mom and sister were crying before we left. on oct 21 we left the house before 6am. his flight is around 9am. we got there before 7am. we didn’t cry on our goodbyes but we know we’ll miss each other terribly. johann just watched him walk away. he didn’t cry. told him to say “bye-bye daddy” but he didn’t. he just watched him. which is weird because everytime somebody gets out of the car or is left behind when the car moves he always say “wawa ____”. rudney texted me around 3am on sunday to inform me that he’s already waiting for a cab at the airport.
that’s about it. he won’t be with us on christmas, new year, my birhday, johann’s birthday and his birthday. kalungkot but its okay. we’ll get through this. now, i don’t know if we’ll have a party for johann on his 2nd birthday or just dinner/day out with our family. when i asked rudney about this he told me to ask johann. hmmm…
