tunnel

johann took this picture.  when i first saw this i was wondering what is it but when i saw the next pic, stand pala nung parking garage toy nya na kinalas nya.

may potential sya ha.

dog

johann drew this dog.  i was surprised when i saw this. he just told me “look mommy its a dog”.  so i immediately grabbed the camera before the aquadoodle dries up.  nakakatuwa lang kse i don’t think its his intention to draw a dog.

cab riders be warned

before i learned how to drive i usually rode the cab.  as in lagi akong cab wherever i go.  i even have phone numbers of some cab company stored in my phone.  when i get inside the cab i usually lock all the doors including the driver’s door then i text the plate num to rudney and my parents.

last tuesday night around 7:30pm on our way home from makati (my uncle was driving, we were with my mom’s friends), we just witnessed (as in right in front of us) 2 teenage boys opened the doors of the taxi.  one opened the passenger door wide then tried to open the back door (good thing that the girl passenger locked the door, she’s alone).  while the driver’s reaching to close the passenger door, the other boy slowly opened the driver’s door looking for something to grab like money or cellphone or bag.  we didn’t see him get anything.  they left the doors open then ran away.  my uncle told us that he also witnessed that before but on the other side naman, going to makati.  btw, this happened in the area of crossing ilalim.

so for those who usually take the cab always lock ALL the doors when you get in.  even those in private cars na rin, especially if you’re in that area.

**~this happened din pala sa amin ni rudney (as in long time ago) but we were in nlex/balintawak going up to edsa. (galing kami ng bulacan, i can’t remember where we hailed the cab)  both of us were texting,  when i looked at rudney to tell him something i noticed that there’s a guy on his side running, trying to catch up on us then before we reached edsa he tried to open rudney’s door.  then i looked on my side meron din pala nag-try mag-open ng door ko.  good thing that all the doors are locked.~**

coming home

rudney’s coming home for good!

we’ll fetch him on oct 8. yippeee!!!

big give

have you heard of oprah’s big give? i just watched some parts of today’s episode, ang galing! it’s overwhelming.  contestants were given $100,000 each to give away within 24 hrs.

only one of them was able to give it all away.  di ko alam lahat ng rules but some of them were: they can’t give away the money as cash it had to be another form like, gift cards or grocery items or school supplies etc, max of $10,000 for institutions and $500 per person.

if i was to give $100,000 or P4,800,000 away, i’ll probably give it to the ff:

• my in-laws
• relatives/friends who needs it badly
• child protection unit in pgh
• public hospitals
• charities
• settle the hospital bills of the patients who can’t get out of the hospital
• gawad kalinga
• school supplies for public schools
• dswd
• social workers

marami pa sana kso inaantok na ako kaya i can’t think of anything more.

i remembered while i was still pregnant with johann, i was able to watch an episode of oprah wherein she gave a brand new car to all her studio audience.  ang yaman nya!

priceless

“mommy, thank you for coming to kinderhaus”

i froze when he said that last week.  i was speechless.  out of the blue he just said that.  so i asked him to come over and i hugged him tight.  i don’t care if he’s not looking at me when he said that or whatever he means or thinking when he said that.  being a sahm and hearing your child say that, truly priceless…

pasyal

overdue post. lakwatsa namin sa US. bullets na lang.

• 2007.12.21 – we went to dominick’s agad after eating dinner. kakarating lang namin nito.
  
• 2007.12.22 – we went to old navy where we bought 1 polo shirt for johann (i find their clothes mahal pa rin kahit naka sale) but we went sa shoe carnival (walang pics) to buy shoes for me and johann (crocs lang kse dala namin pareho). then we went to north school park for their lights display sa arlington heights.
  
• 2007.12.23 – we attended mass sa st joseph parish. we stayed inside the children’s room where maraming books and papers and crayons. may speaker sa loob ng room kaya we can still hear the mass. sobrang lamig that time paglabas namin. then we went to gurnee mills. shopping galore sana kso wala pa ako sa mood mag-shop. daming layer kse ang suot ko kaya nakakatamad mag-fit. though i was able to buy 5 v-neck shirts for $20 ata and 2 jackets. buy 1 take 1 kse. tsaka pyjama’s pala for johann sa oshkosh. di ko na maalala kung may iba pa akong nabili.
  
• 2007.12.24 – we drove all the way to mitsuwa marketplace just to buy the mochi ice cream that rudney craves. we went na rin sa apartment nila rudney sa buffalo grove to get some things. walang tao dun that time nasa bakasyon. nakakatuwa dun sa apartment nila kse most of their furnitures were hand picked (read as pinulot). for noche buena i cooked spaghetti. our other handa were ham, roasted chicken, fruits, slice ng cake na sobrang tamis, bread and of course mochi. we celebrated early mga 10 pm ata. kse alam namin hirap gisingin si johann nun. nag start na kse nag-adjust body clock nya.
• 2007.12.25 – for christmas day, after eating lunch we went out. we went to michael jordan’s house pero hanggang gate lang. then sa ymca leaning tower and at mcdonald’s museum, sayang lang kse that time close sya kaya hanggang gate lang ulit kami. we had dinner at denny’s then we went home na.
• 2007.12.26 – went to westfield shoppingtown near us. bought some bath & body works lotion for $5 each.
  
• 2007.12.27 – went to winter wonderland. it’s a drive thru lights show. ang laki ng area nakakatuwa. after that we went to garden fresh para mag-grocery.
  
• 2007.12.28 – maaga pinauwi cla rudney kse they predicted a heavy snowfall kaya we got to play in the snow. yippee!
  
• 2007.12.29 – we went to downtown chicago. we got to visit wrigley field (covered in snow), united center, went up the sears tower, and shopping at westfield shopping town (ibang branch naman). bought bonnets for me and johann and bought bath & body works lotion, body wash and cologne again pero this time for 3 for $10.
  
• 2007.12.30 – balik ulit kmi ng downtown the next day to attend mass sa our lady of sorrows basilica. ganda ng church and we felt very welcome. the regular churchgoers there went around to shook hands with everybody instead of just nodding and saying “peace be with you”. even si johann naki-shake hands din. we had lunch sa chinatown, then we went to millennium park. there we saw the jay pritzker pavilion (tanaw lang namin, di na kami pumunta), cloud gate, crown fountain (walang fountain that time), ice skating rink, wrigley square and millennium monument (where i ran after johann, takasan ba naman ako, sa gitna pa ang field pumunta). then tambay naman kami sa northbrook court mall where i bought a small $4 bag.
• 2008.01.01 – we woke up johann ng 12 mn. ayun galit, wala sa mood nung una. tamad na kami magluto kya we bought microwaveable food na lang. we had lasagna, fetucini, pizza, kfc, cake, melon and of course mochi na naman. in the afternoon rudney brought us sa randhurst mall. there we shopped sa steve & barry’s (all items $8.98. dami ako nabili. hehehe), then sa victoria secret (5 for $25 ang panties) and bath and body works na naman. good thing may free play area for the kids kaya di naman nainip si johann. sad lang kse since new year maaga cla nag-close kaya bitin sa laro ang anak ko.
• 2008.01.02 – we went to tj maxx. na-addict ako dito kaya we visited 2 other branches. designer bags na very cheap. though not so high end bags pero for me ok na. mostly nabili ko nine west.

• 2008.01.06 – we went out of state. we attended mass at basilica of st. josaphat sa wisconsin. after the mass we drove around the city for pictures. then went to the milwaukee art museum. sa lobby lang kami. i don’t think johann would enjoy it sayang lang ibabayad namin. we had our lunch there na lang. then we went to betty brinn children’s museum. i thought this is just an ordinary museum designed lang for children. boy i was wrong. its a big play area but not like fun ranch dito sa atin ha. its more educational. sayang nga lang konti lang pics. johann was all over the place kse. he also met curious george there.
  
• 2008.01.08 – di ko maalala kung san kmi pumunta nito.
  
• 2008.01.09 – we did our grocery. we usually do it sa dominick’s. but this time we tried sa fresh farms kse mas maraming vegetables and fish dun. ang kaso wala naman dun yung ibang kailangan namin so we ended going to dominick’s din. after dun nag-side trip kami sa walgreens. parang mercury drug dito sa atin. ito yung client ni rudney sa US. sa office sya pero may times daw sinasama sya mag-store visit. we bought a $10 laptop bag, battery operated massager na buy 1 take 1, and eddy’s ice cream.
  
• 2008.01.10 – jewel-osco naman kmi. yup, grocery na naman pero nag-soli naman kami ng dvd this time.
  
• 2008.01.11 – tamad mag-luto ng dinner kaya i requested to eat out sa kfc. eat-all-you can! yummy!. tsaka nag-take out din kami para sa lunch namin the next day. long drive kse kami.
  
• 2008.01.12 – divided the pics to 4 albums. part 1 contains the start of our long drive kaya mostly ng pictures nasa car kami. part 2 we arrived na sa springfield. illinois pa rin sya pero more than 2 hr drive sya kaya mga 4am ata kmi umalis ng hotel. anyways, we went to lincoln tomb, vietnam veterans memorial, lincoln presidential library and national museum, sa park na malapit dun, old and new capitol, executive mansion na di kami nakapasok kse half day lang pala cla and lincoln’s home. part 3 naman we went to effingham to visit the cross. illinois pa rin pero more or less 1.5 hr drive from springfield. binaba lang namin sa hotel/motel yung bag, had lunch then byahe ulit. nakita na namin sya from express way kso mali pala yung location na nasa map kya mali kami ng exit. ikot kami ulit and we just followed road signs on how to get there. when we got there grabe iba yung feeling. can’t explain eh basta. tsaka sobrang laki nya para kaming langgam. si johann tuwang-tuwa. sayang we didn’t get to buy any souvenir kse sarado na yung office. part 4 naman eh dinner kami sa mcdo then check namin yung sports outlet, wala kming nabili, then bought spiderman shoes for $14 for johann sa payless shoe source. after dinner the scarriest part of the trip started. it deserves a separate post.
  
• 2008.01.13 – 3 albums naman to. part 1 contains pics nung byahe namin and stop over. we had breakfast sa white castle. first hamburger chain daw and na-feature sa food network kaya try namin. ayos lang, masarap naman. ang nakakatuwa ang liit ng burger, 1 order 3 pcs agad. part 2 and part 3 we were in st. louis, missouri na. attend kami ng mass sa cathedral basilica of saint louis. then went to busch stadium, went up the gateway arch and had late lunch at hardee’s.
  
• 2008.01.14 & 2008.01.15 – puro room pics lang pero alam ko lumabas kami nito. di ko lang maalala kung san kami pumunta.
  
• 2008.01.16 – nag-leave nito si rudney para pa-check ng mata nya. nagluluha kse tsaka mahapdi. after nya pa-check up and buy ng gamot we went to gurnee mills ulit and dinner sa bob chinn’s crab house where we paid almost $100 para sa food naming 3 pero sulit naman sobra. after dinner we went naman dun sa house ng officemate ni rudney to give yung gift para sa baby shower. di kse kami makaka-attend. ako nga pala nag-drive papunta dun. sobrang kabado ako. same nung nag-drive ako papuntang sm fairview for the first time na mag-isa lang. nung i-park ko na yung sasakyan tinatawanan ako ni rudney kse pa-aatras ako nag-park eh mostly dun paharap mag-park. oh well kanya-kanya yun.
• 2008.01.17 – had dinner at international house of pancakes and johann had grand time at chuckecheese after. para syang time zone/power station dito sa atin pero msa better kse may resto na and secured pa yung lugar. they would stamp the parents and the kids arm ng number upon entering pero parang invisible ink na kailangan pa nung purple light (ano nga ba tawag dun?) para makita yung number.
  
• 2008.01.18 – toy r us naman kami this time.
  
• 2008.01.19 – we were supposed to go to ohio to visit yoly and her family. dahil nga sa eyes ni rudney eh nag-cancel kami. 6-hr drive kse yun eh. we went na lang sa aurora, illinois. almost 1.5 hr drive ata yun. we visited sri venkateswara swami temple, walter payton’s roundhouse complex and ang talagang reason bakit kami nandun is yung chicago premium outlet. konti lang naman nabili ko promise. since tamad ako mag-sukat kse ilang patong ang suot ko wala akong nabiling damit except sa shirts lang from nike na di ko sinukat.
  
• 2008.01.20 – napagod si rudney dun sa drive namin sa aurora kse sakit ng ulo nya nung sunday (o baka dahil sa nagastos ko. ) kaya nag-attend kami ng mass dun sa malapit lang sa hotel, st. mary of vernon where we met a pinoy na nag-usher dun sa church. ako na nag-drive. after ng mass drive thru lang sa kfc then uwi na rin. need ni rudney mag-rest eh. pero nung afternoon oks na si rudney so we were able to go to circuit city to buy psp ni johann.
  
• 2008.01.21 – we went to marshalls naman. its like tjmaxx din. as usual bags na naman binili ko. we had dinner sa apartment nila rudney. nag-prepare kse yung mga housemates nya ng dinner for us.
  
• 2008.01.22 – ikea naman kmi. first time ko makapasok ng ikea though lagi kong naririnig yun. hay naku, inaway ko nga si rudney kse nun lang nya kami dinala dun tapos kulang pa time namin mag-ikot. pero gusto mag-work dun as cashier.
  
• 2008.01.23 – last hirit ng chuckecheese. uwi na kse kami ng weekend.
  
• 2008.01.24 – we went to staples naman to buy my electronic label maker. i also bought an embossing label maker which supposedly cost $5 but when they punched it it only costs almost $2. wanted to go back inside to buy more kso pinigil ako ni rudney. hmp!
  
• 2008.01.25 – last night na namin sa US. had dinner sa popeye’s then went to rudney’s apartment to return his office clothes and mga kitchen appliances na dinala nya dun sa hotel.
  
• 2008.01.26-27 – byahe na kami. hinatid kami ng mga housemates ni rudney since 3 luggages and 1 box kami, di kasya sa isang car. delayed flight namin from chicago to minnesota dahil sa weather. mostly yung mga kasabay namin dun eh kasabay din namin sa connecting flight to manila. kaya ni raise nila yung concern na baka maiwan kami. so kami ni rudney nag-prepare na sya magbuhat ng bags ako kay johann, tatakbo daw kami. so when we got to minnesota good thing at may mga nag-hintay na sasakyan na maghatid sa amin sa kabilang terminal. layo rin kse yung isang terminal ha. almost 10 mins walk din yun. konti lang passenger ng papuntang japan kaya we were able to transfer seat when we want to sleep. take turns na lang kami ni rudney. when we got to japan few minutes lang boarding na though ang tagal bago nag-take off. we arrived manila 11pm na.

marami kaming side trip sa best buy, circuit city, wal-mart, bath and body works, target and others na wala kaming pictures. almost everyday kami umaalis and almost everyday may pic din kami kahit nasa room lang.

nagluto naman ako dub pero mostly fried or pang breakfast lang. i cooked spaghetti, sinigang na hipon and baboy and tinola. yun lang naalala ko. very domesticated buhay ko dun. cook ng konti, ligpit ng kalat, wash ng dishes, laundry, iron our clothes at the same time looking after johann. those who know me would attest na di talaga ako gumagawa sa bahay. tamad ako promise. pero i survived naman doing all of that.

we enjoyed our stay dun kse lagi kaming namamasyal. hehehe. seriously, we had a grand time. we were able to celebrate christmas and new year together not via webcam.  though malaki nagastos namin pero ayos lang worth it naman. 

hey YOU!

you know who you are. i replied pa naman sa email add na binigay mo, eh di pala existing. i know you just want to create havoc to my family. just back-off na lang.

housewife?

i’m filling up a registration form from johann’s school.  i got stumped when i got to the part “Occupation:”  hmmm… what should i write?  housewife?  parang hindi fit sa akin ang term.  i remember filling up forms and answering questions, “what does your mother do?”.  without batting an eyelash i usually answer housewife.  now that i’m in that position, i can’t get my self to write it as my occupation.  then i tried to wiki it and found my answer.

Occupation: Stay-At-Home Mom

the trip

*~super duper overdue post~*

12/21/2007. we left the house around 4am. so i was awake at 3:30am to take a bath and to make final check on our bags. 7:55am flight namin via nwa. we have 2 stopovers, at narita and minnesota. we got to naia before 5am. haba na ng pila sa nwa. buti na lang johann was cooperating pa that time. di na nila ni-weigh yung bags namin. sira ata conveyor nila that time. i wasn’t worried naman kse i know na hindi kami overbaggage. so we stayed muna sa waiting area kung san may mga foodshops. buti na lang may malaking lego statue shaped like mario of mario bros to keep johann occupied. around 6:30 we went na sa boarding area. when the attendant overheard me telling johann na di pa kami sasakay ng plane eh pina board na kami agad. so naka-settle na kami nung nag-board na yung iba.

manila to narita – that time ang likot na ni johann. tumatayo sa upuan. bumababa ng upuan. hay naku, buti na lang window seat kinuha namin so nakakulong lang si johann dun. more than 4 hours flight namin. nung nakatulog na sya nakakain naman ako ng 2 set ng meals though tinira ko yung corned beef kay johann, i just finished the side dishes. at dahil clumsy ako natapon sa pants ko ang juice. di naman ako makatayo at makapunta sa cr kse tulog si johann sa lap ko. buti nga di sa kanya bumuhos yun eh. so i just put the lampin sa pants ko to soak the juice. susme ano ba naman to umpisa pa lang. buti na lang when we got to narita dry na sya. so pumila na naman kami sa para sa flight namin to minneapolis. before we got off the plane nakatali na sa akin si johann *~nga pala the whole time na nasa naia kami nakatali na sya, i just remove it pag sa plane na kmi~* so once na gusto lumayo sa akin ikot ko ng many times sa kamay ko yung tali para di sya makalayo or i-carry ko sya kahit na nagpupumiglas. imagine me carrying a backpack, a body bag and johann. parusa di ba. so we went agad kung san yung terminal ng next flight namin. nung nakita na namin we went muna sa cr to change his diaper then balik na kami dun. buti na lang pinahiram kami ni tajhing ng photo viewer/movie player so nanood kami ng mr bean while waiting for our flight. when it was almost time to board i noticed na di pa nila pinapaboard yung may mga dalang kids so sabi ko di ata dito priority we were at the back pa naman though may dumaan sa harap ko na attendant dun di man lang ako pinauna so i didn’t impose na kse baka nga di priority. then pinaboard na ang business class/first class then dumaan na naman yung same attendant sa harap ko ala deadma pa rin. then another pinoy and foreigner passenger told me na dapat pumila na rin ako sa business class kse priority ako dahil may dala ako bata sabi ko ilang beses na sya dumaan di man lang pinansin so i just waited na lang din sa line namin.

~*i confirmed this non priority to elders and with kids when we’re on our way home to manila. una nila pinapasok ang first class and business class, then the elders, then with kids, the rest kailangan arrange muna by seat number. ang gulo di ba!?*~

narita to minnesota – longest flight ever. 10hrs sa plane na puno ng passengers na may kasamang recharged na bata. parusa. hay. i took out all the toys na dala ko pero kulang pa rin. johann kept on bugging the 2 korean girls seated behind us. buti na lang cute ang anak ko. hehehe. akala ko makakatulog na ako ng diretso once nakatulog si johann hindi pala. every hour ata nagigising ako. i strained my neck watching the flight movie. when johann woke up na he played sandali then he stood up and told me “come mommy let’s go”. naiinip na rin. so we went sa cr then we stayed sa back ng plane then namasyal sa aisle then went back to our seat. finally we arrived na sa minnesota. sobrang haba ng line sa immigration. kami ang 2nd to the last sa pila ng visitors. hay, ang tagal kaya hirap na ako kay johann kse gusto mag-tatatakbo eh syempre bawal di ba. when it was our turn yung boss ng immigration officer with another officer nakatambay dun sa mag-interview sa amin. nag-observe lang cla. so start na mag-ask ng questions. what are we doing there, when did rudney last went back to philippines, and may isa pa na di ko maalala. then the boss asked for rudney’s documents. while i was answering them buhat ko si johann. tapos lahat ng gamit dun inaabot nya. then the immigration officer asked me to write the annotations in our passport dun sa form. buti na lang sabi ng boss nya na trabaho nya yun and besides may dala nga akong bata. he told his boss na sana habang sinusulat ko yung annotations eh accomodate na nya yung next na nakapila. well napagalitan pa sya. hehehe. so we waited while he wrote it. after that, we went na sa conveyor belt. ito yung hindi sinabi sa akin ni rudney, na we have to get our luggage para sa inspection. akala ko makikita ko yung luggage ko pagdating na namin ng chicago. hay. wala akong dalang coins. pinaka barya ko is $100. ang galing ko di ba!? yung cart cost $3. then one guy approached me if i needed help tapos may dala syang cart. so sa kanya tip naman ang bayad. eh ala nga ako barya so sabi ko, “yes i need help but i don’t have any money for tip”. he left then another guy approached me and asked me again if i need help. so inulit ko yung dialogue ko dun sa nauna. pero this time sabi ng guy oks lang. thank God talaga. i badly needed help kse eh. imagine kung wala akong cart, i have to pull two luggages while holding johann’s hand and carrying 2 handcarry bags. hay. so i told him na its our first time here and we’re going to meet my husband sa chicago pa. so hinatid nya kami dun sa luggage inspection. the officer there asked me what food or liquids do i have in my handcarry and luggage. so i told him, but i forgot to mention yung cans ng milk ni johann. and i think i forgot to declare it also. anyways, familiar na yung officer sa mga pagkaing pinoy. he asked me kung may dala ba ako longanisa, chicharon, tuyo. nakangiti nga ako nung sinasagot ko eh pero wala akong dalang ganun. tapos yung nauna sa akin hand inspection, sabi ko matatagalan na naman kami. tapos nakikita ko yung ibang dala nila tinatapon sa trash can. so daan sa scanner yung bags namin. then the officer told me na may dala pala akong formula. akala kong formula na sinasabi nya eh yung vitamins and medicines ni johann. he’s referring pala dun sa milk ni johann. nung nagkaintindihan na kami he asked kung ilang lata, sabi ko 5. ang dami naman daw. hindi na pina hand inspection yung luggage naman. buti naman. so hinatid na kami nung guy dun sa check in ng bags. nag thank you ako sa kanya. di ko nga nakuha yung pangalan eh. so off to another inspection na naman kami. this time pinatapon yung mga water ni johann tapos pinalabas lahat ng liquids sa bag. i forgot to remove sa bag yung benadryl syrup na may kasamang dropper. so pagdating sa scanner ang tagal dun sa isang bag namin. so kinuha ko na yung shoes, jackets and yung isang bag namin. then yung isang officer hawak yung isang bag ko and asked me kung may knife ba ako. sabi ko wala pero kinabahan na ako. sabi nya i-open nya yung bag ko at may hanapin daw sya. so habang sinusuotan ko si johann ng shoes and jacket isa-isa naman nilalabas yung gamit dun sa bag hanggang nakita nga nya yung benadryl. so i told him na i totally forgot about it. so okay lang daw pero next time wag ko na daw kakalimutan. so oks na. then hinanap ko muna kung saan ang gate namin and what time ang boarding. then i looked for distilled water for johann. i asked yung barista ng starbucks kung meron silang distilled wala daw. then yung guy na nag-ask ng favor na tingnan yung gamit nya nung nasa narita pa kmi nilapitan ako kung need ko ba ng water fountain. sabi ko hindi kailangan ko distilled water. he helped me maghanap by calling the hotline dun sa terminal to ask where may distilled water. sabi nya medyo malayo daw kse parang sa kabilang side ng terminal eh. so sabi ko sige i’ll just check out other stores kung ano yung water nila. so nag thank you na ko then johann and i looked around. since wala nga we just settled dun sa water dun sa isang store. i bought burger sa mcdonalds and ate it near the gate. delayed kse yung flight due to air traffic. after finishing the food start na ang kalbaryo. johann was so cranky na. as in. he’s so tired na rin kaya ganun. when he wanted something and di mo pinagbigyan as in nagwawala. ang lakas ng iyak nya dun sa terminal na pinagtitinginan na kami. so i just kept on following him na lang kung san nya gusto punta at the same time nagbabantay ng gamit. finally boarding na. i texted rudney then turned off my phone.

minnesota to chicago - di pa kami nakaka-take off tulog na si johann. hay salamat. nakapahinga rin ako. more than 30 mins bago nag-take off. when we got to chicago i had to wake johann kse i need to put on his jacket, bonnet and shoes. since bagong gising ayaw maglakad. so parusa na naman. eh ang layo pala nung gate to baggage claim where rudney’s waiting. so nung medyo oks na si johann and di ko na talaga kaya buhatin sya pinag-lakad ko na. wala pang 1 minute na naglalakad nagpa carry na naman. so carry naman ako afetr mga 10 steps binababa ko na naman. ilang beses paulit ulit yun. then we got to the escalator to baggage claim. habang pababa i saw rudney crying. i cried na rin. babaw luha ko eh. i felt all the pagod at the same time relief that we arrived safe. i asked johann kung sino yun. sabi nya “it’s daddy!”. when we got to rudney di pa rin tumigil umiyak. so nag-iiyakan kami dun. hehehe. we got our bags and went to the car. buti na lang nauto namin si johann na maupo sa car seat. 30-40 mins pa na byahe to get to our hotel. when we got there we ate dinner, rest ng konti then went to the grocery. kararating lang lakwatsa agad. hehehe.
