The Sunset date
Dear Anak,
Wow, its been sometime since I haven’t sent you a letter. Last Maundy Thursday (for Catholics), April 9, 2009 Daddy gave us a call while you had your afternoon nap. When I told you about his call, you had a very brilliant smile –a glowing face to be exact. I know you are excited to see him, me too. When you woke up, we went to Nicel and KY at the Training area where you played the Indiana Jones rope with some kids (sons and daughter of Dad’s workmate). You were so excited and thrilled with the idea that you can fly while you hang on to that rope. Oh, you didn’t do it on your own yet, you were cuddled by either the Kuya or the Ate who played with you. Eitherway, your happiness was really onvious with matching wave of hands at me every now and then. I wish I can join you in that swing soon. I’ll have to wear my jogging pants for that. Hahahah!
After Ate and Kuyas left, we decided to explore the seawall. And bingo! There was that beautiful sunset from our vantage point. It was so lovely and so perfect while we seated at the top of those giant rocks beside the seawall. You even loved to hopped from one stone to the other. You made me nervous, huh! While there, we called Tatay whom we haven’t talk for weeks. He missed us, particularly you, so much! I realized that sunsets are gone too fast. I even thought of brining a watch the next time we go sunset viewing. We tried to take a peek at the sunset again yesterday (holy Friday — April 10, 2009) but we were already late and what was left for us to witness were its magnificent reflections. The pinkish effect of the sun’s reflection at the buildings on the opposite side were pretty nice. Today (meaning in a while because its already past 3pm as Im writing this), we will try to catch sunset again.
We also had some lessons yesterday: Waves, sea, birds, sky, rocks, and oh– Jellyfish! You are experiencing these first hand and you are learning really fast. Praise God! We also waited for some people to go ashore after they went on net fishing. Although they haven’t catch fishes that much, we did have fun watching them as they were shouting at each other for coordination so that fishes won’t go out of net. Hahahha. But definitely they had fun– and they already had a previous catch like half a pale of a container. Not bad for amateur fishers who just did it for fun and for dinner, I guess. Hehehe…
This sunset date discovery has been great for you and me and soon, with daddy. We won’t have to go so far just to experience nature and be with our inner selves at the same time. I have also been thinking hard if we can have our 7th year wedding anniversary here hahahaha… It definitely epitomes the sea, air and land concept I want to have. Not to mention it wouldn’t cost much (aside from the cleaning, decoration and installation of big tents! hehehe). Really, I’m serious I might propose this to Dad when he comes home. After all, we still have few years to prepare. Hahhaha!!
O sya, I’m waiting for you to wake up so we can walk to our sunset date again… I love you my dear!
Mommy
