Today is my husband’s flight back to Riyadh. Jeff and I took him to the airport, and an hour from now, Dario is boarding his plane. Of course, Jeff cried again and was holding tight his Papa’s arms. He doesn’t want him to go just yet. He was not even talking the second we went out of the house, and then just started crying when we got to the airport and held tight his father’s arms. It is always like this every year (Dario is on his 10th year working in Riyadh). Maybe you are asking now if I didn’t cry. Well, I did. Last night. I always cry the night before so our son won’t see. Dario always tells me to get use to it, but I can’t. I just miss him every day he’s not here. And so does our son. And looking around our quiet room now which was filled with laughter for the past few weeks, I feel sad. Two days ago, we went to the salon together for a haircut (him) and hot oil (me) and foot spa (both of us). Then yesterday, we went to the mall to buy a pair of hamsters for Jeff. He also bought me 2 pairs of pants. We had a great time though we forgot to buy our favorite choco frap from Starbucks. Anyway, we’ll see each other again tomorrow via webcam. And it will be like this again every day for ten months. Then Jeff and I will be able to hug him again when he gets back home next year. Haaayyyy! Being a wife of an OFW . . . . .
Btw, I chanced upon the blog of this lady who says ‘I need someone to review my blog‘. Jean is a fellow Filipina who lives in the US. And this lady has a lot to share. Go check her out, people! 
It’s Jeff’s first day in school and he’s now in 5th grade! My husband and I took him to school this morning and before we left, we heard Jeff and his friends talked about the NBA finals. Have a successful 5th grade, son!
I’ve been googling for a new theme for this blog and I want it to be perfect for the header I have in my file. I have picked some good themes; however, due to my very little knowledge with the codes, I can’t make the header and the theme look good together. This is why I need some help. Is there anyone out there who could make me a personalized design for free? A big, big thanks, really.
Dario, Jeff and I watched the movie Kung Fu Panda today. We really had a good laugh seeing it. The movie was funny. I suggest you see it too.
wait for 3 seconds . . . . .
June has come. Classes start next week and this means hello assignments, hello projects, hello allowance and everything school. Jeff is in 5th grade now. Two years from now, he will be graduating from grade school and welcoming the new adventures high school brings. Our ten-year old will soon be a teen. How time flies.
Yes, time flies so fast. Next week, my husband is going back to Riyadh. Just like my son, his vacation is over. While Jeff’s classes start on June10, Dario’s flight is on June12. He is going back to work, work, work. I have been trying to get this out of my mind for days – the thought of him not being here with us to celebrate Father’s Day, of missing him, of waiting for another year to hold him again, everything about him being away. This was why I haven’t written anything here for a couple of days. I just didn’t feel doing anything since the 1st of June. Aaaahhh, the life of a wife of an OFW. Well, at least, there are YM, webcams, emails, phone calls, text messages; and I thank technology for that. Chatting with him every single day for months somehow gives me and our son the feeling of being literally close to him.
Anyway, enough for my ‘emotional appearance’. Talk to you again soon, people!
