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
