Waiting...

And the waiting officially begins...

Jan 18, 2007: Very early, around 5AM hon sent me a txt message telling me they're on their way to QC from Bulacan to get their luggage en route to NAIA. They're supposed to leave about 12noon Philippine time.

One call around 10am, they are at the airport already... talked a little, he was very uneasy should i say? Or was it nervousness in his voice I hear... Then tito Fred and I talked for a while... asked questions here and there..."Kamusta? Kamusta ang Bahay, the usual I think...Then back to honey... He's having his usual stomach problems... from lack of sleep and proper meal earlier... ha! where is the gastripack when you need it?! hehehe... I asked him to rest for a while since flight is still about 12 noon.

Another call came in about 11AM. This time, I can feel tears welling at the back of my eyes. It hurts not to be able to get it out (I am inside the office by the way).. so I have to hold it back. Talked to him, asked him to take good care of himself... as usual, he's in his bad mood, bad attitude when I remind him that... he's all grown up you know, and does not want to be reminded that... I think its really nagging to him when I do that. Should I be worried or what?

12nn. A text came, they have boarded... ANd that he'll miss me and he loves me so much! *Of course theres the reply of me loving him back and will be missing him too!*

And I wait... and wait...

3:30PM- they have arrived in Hong Kong. They are due to fly in a few hours... exchanged a couple of texts (literally a couple!) and then... Again...

The agony of Waiting (again).
