Back to home

I know! Since the last time I wrote something here, it has been passed more than 3 months! During this period, I had with you and Gabriel, a splendid vacation time in the Philippines. I discover that I love you (but this isn't a news) and also that I love Philippines. It is easy to fall in love there with the people, with their way of life, with all the fantastic things you can see, the beautiful places you can visit, the splendid sea around the islands, the warm climax even when it is raining. You are right when you say that Philippines have an "easy life". How many things we consider "useful" and "necessary" aren't necessary and useful to live there? Sure, if you have also there is good, but you can live also without. Here you must have the latest cell phone, the navigator in the car, the lcd TV or plasma one, a PC, a fast internet connection, a washing machine, may be a big car. There? it is enought a cell phone that can send SMS oe MMS, internet isn't for all people because there isn't land phone, I didn't see any plasma or lcd TV (only some computer screen), you don't need navigator to travel: there are only few roads and sometime only one! Washing machine is for rich people and for those one don't have too much time (if they have money for buying it) There is a thing that we lost: the time to do everithing. There, no one is in rush. You cannot tell to a friend "see you tomorrow at 5pm" but only "see you tomorrow"! You will meet him for sure, but you cannot know exactly when, at what time; you can say "around 5pm" If you don't have a car and have to travel by bus, you cannot know when the bus will pick up you. You wait, soon or later a bus will arrive but you cannot be in rush! You have the time to look around you, to see the mountains or the sea, to see farmers with cows, to watch the sun set. People is always moving but never running! Here people is always running, losing the things, small or big around us. You don't have the time to look in the eyes of the person in front of you! there yu can have also the chance to talk to him about the shopping! I like there and I have only one more goal in my life: to go there to live!! I'll be back with a report about our vacation and some images of it. I love you Bing!

Only two words... or better: three

I've not been updating my blog since some days ago. It is time, at least, to tell to My Love how much I love her! It is not I don't want to update the blog but, really, during these days, I had no "idea" about what to write and also less time to think about it. Anyway, I have always the same sentence to write. I know, you can think isn't so "original" but, I'm sure, it is always accepted for what it means: Bing, I LOVE YOU!!

I always love you!

My Bing, it is always nice to be near you, each moment of my day, each moment of my night, each moment of my life. Nice to stay with you like three days ago, like last night, like every day! Two days ago something happened in our home: we changed the door! It seems to be a small thing but we know that this was a target we were trying to reach. Thank for your help! I love you!

Outlet

Last Sunday we went to Serravalle Outlet. It is, they say, the biggest in Europe and really there are many shops. We were looking for something to wear for me, for Bing and Gabriel. In these days they started summer sold season and prices are reduced more than the normal. We arrived early in the morning (it opens 10 am) and so we started to look around. The frst shop we went in was Geox (or, like Gabriel says "Gerox") and we found a pair of shoes for him. Then, continuing our tour, we went in a shop for a shirt for me with long sleeves. And again in a Wrangler/Lee shop; here we bough some trousers, a pair of jeans for Bing's brother and tho shirts for her. We went also to Timberland were Bing found a skirt. It was already near noon when we went to eat a pizza with chips (Gabriel at usual ate only few pizza and many chips). After eating we went back to the shops but, since Gabriel was a little tired, we had to skip several shops. Anyway, we were able to find another pair of shoes for Gabriel and we went in a shop (Mc Kenzy) where Bing found 4 silk shirts and I found another two shirts for me. Ending our tour, we went in a playing park were Gabriel (that wasn't anymore tired!) played for about half of an hour. At the end, near 3pm, we left the outlet, coming back home. It was the second time we went there and we were satisfied for what we were able to find but I think next time would be nice to leave Gabriel to my parents so we can look around better!

Day & Night

It is nice to go to sleep in the night with you beside me and it is also better to wake up in the morning and to find you, still near me. Every night and every day! I love you!

Day after day

There is a big regret in my life with you.

I remember sometime the time (little) we spent together when we were engaged. We didn't have a long engagement, I mean, we weren't able to stay together for long time before our wedding. We were in touch, by e-mail, through internet, over the phone, but we hadn't possibility to stay" physically" together.

May be it was better.

I think we have been living our engagement now, but we are already in three. Anyway, I have a suggest for you: I will ask a divorce ... and then I ask you to marry me again, day by day! It is really nice, after a working day, spending some hour with you, hugging, kissing and loving. When it happens, really I can say "... all my troubles seem so far away!" Thank for the day before yesterday and for yesterday too!

I love you, my dear.

Never (in the past) and ever (in the future)

On Friday 23 what happened during that night, never happened before but, I hope, will happen again in the future! ;)

June 21st, 2006

Today is the first summer day. This morning the alarm clock interrupted our sleep. It was hot, during the night and we weren’t able to rest. Just sleep but turning and turning. Last night Gabriel had slept alone in his bed and this was good: in three in one bed would have been too much.

Like every day, I’m the first to get up from our bed. I went to the bathroom and, as usual, I turned on my radio, I like listening to music while putting on my contact lens and shaving. Then I went back to the room and, with many little kisses around Bing’s neck, her eyes (still closed), her arms, I asked her to wake up.

I went to the kitchen and I prepared our milk: we are in three and we have three different ways to prepare milk. I used to put some honey, Bing likes to have chocolate and Gabriel wants sugar! Then I ate corn flakes, my wife a “brioche” and Gabriel, as most of the times he doesn't like to eat anything. Gabriel, usually, wakes up only around 7.15 so we are always in rush. Anyway I can leave my house a little after 7.30, thanks to Bing that, while Gabriel is drinking milk she is dressing him up. I check if all I need is with me (cell phone, wallet, my bag, coins, etc) but often, when I’m already inside the car, I realize I miss something (i.e. glass or some papers) and so I have to come back again!

As every morning of our marriage life, before going out, I kiss her lips. Gabriel gives, every morning, four kisses to Bing! I’m jealous.

At this point, we started to go in our 'own ' directions: I brought Gabriel to the nursery school then drove for work while my wife walked til her office. Near 12.30 I called my wife, two minutes, only to listen to her voice, and the appointment for the night. When I went out from my office, I had to start another run against the time! I went to take Gabriel at my parent’s house. Then I drove till Bing’s office. As usual Gabriel had been sleeping only 10 minutes after he jumped in to the car, so when I met Bing, he was still sleeping soundy.

At the end, we arrived at home. While Bing was preparing something to eat, me and Gabriel had our shower. When we finished, Bing went to have the shower while I set the table for supper. Finally we had our supper while watching TV, I know it isn't good. After eating, Bing and Gabriel went on the sofa and I washed the dishes. After this, we were able to spend some time watching TV together. This is the moment in our day I like better, when me and Bing, often, can stay near each other even if, sometime, Gabriel comes in between us, literally! Gabriel began to sleep and that was the moment to have our chance to be really alone. We went to our bed.

I don’t know why, but sometime I remember when I was working at my first company. At that time there was a colleague of mine that looked “old” to me ; I was 23 and he was near 50. Once he was talking to us about his marriage and he said that, even if he had been married for long time and his wife wasn’t anymore young, looking at her when she was naked still excited him. For me is the same, even if there are some differences. I've been married from 5 years only and my wife is 17 years younger than me. Even if our body changed after our wedding and neither me nor her have an athletic shape (I’m 10 kilos above my correct weight), looking at her when she is naked always excite me.

It was nice, as usual, and after we stayed hugged for many minutes, then, owing to the hot temperature, we had to move a little bit far: under this point of view, I like better winter!

Trip to "Oasi Sant'Alessio"

Yesterday, me and my family, went to a oasis naturalist named "Sant'Alessio" near Pavia. The chance to go there was given to us from the nursery school where Gabriel is frquenting. We met the other parents at 9.15 am and then, about 20 minutes later, we left Garbagnate to Sant'Alessio. Nearly 50 km far and it took an hour to reach Sant'Alessio. The place we entered was a castle 30 years ago, it was transformed into small part. Inside, near the entrance you can meet some parrots, one of them is outside the cage, on the branch of a tree, watching the people passing by and somtime cleaning itself. In a couple of pace, we arrived in front of the little restaurant. Only 20 meters ahead, there is a place where you can have your meal on some wooden table (we call picnic). If you want, you can also buy something from the grilling booth. Walking a few steps ahead, there's a T cross, you can start your tour. There are two lanes: one "yellow" and the other "blue". We chose the yellow one because it is shorter. We were able to see some birds, butterflies, and also fishes. We saw also sloth, 2 little ara ararauna (parrots) born only two weeks ago, three rays, an iguana under the sun, some piranhas, a small crocodile, turtles, ibis, pink flamingos, hawk, eagle. It took more than one hour to finish this tour and, after, since Gabriel was hungry, we went to have our meal: two hamburgers with cheese and ham, same chips and fruit juice. After a coffee (Italian people cannot do anything after lunch and before anything else, without a coffee) we begun the second path, the blue one. Two horses gave the "welcome" to us, then we passed many pools (really was the same little rives with many partition walls) where we found different species of fishes. To tell the truth, we were able to see some fish only in few of them, also because the water was green and not transparent. Then we went to a part of the park with many trees and, it was said, many birds. We were able to see only part of them. There were many birds called White spoonbill Steckbrief , and few plegadis falcinellus. It seems is the only place around all Europe these birds continue to live. At the end, after another hour spent to walk, we arrived at the end of our tour. We met other people there and Gabriel went to play with other children. It was already near 4 pm when we moved back. We stopped at my parent's house and we went to the little field my father is taking care. Gabriel watered the garden. At the end, we spent a good day. We were tired but satisfied. I think Gabriel is still too young to appreciate this kind of place, but I would like to go in other place like this, kind of zoo where animals are free and visitors are inside their car. I'll tell you, when it happens.

Dear Love, it has been some day you are a little "nervous" and, I guess, I know why. In less than two months we will leave Italy for going to Philippines. Last time we went there was two years ago and it is long time you cannot meet your relatives and your mother. Is for this reason I'm trying to understand your mood that, as you said, is swinging like a pendulum. In these days, only a little bit quicker! I know you aren't in this way. I know you are so sweet, so tender, so beautiful. I know that being beside you is nice, that we can spend really loving moments. It happens, sometime, and it happened also this morning. It was so nice to spend the time with you after our alarm sounded and before to get off from our bed. I'm just waiting to have the same "experience" even tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and then again! I love you very much and try to forgive me if sometime I cannot catch your mood rapidly. I'm still learning from you and, for the moment, I only learned how you feel when Philippines became nearer every day more! I love you
