So, how was farewell day?...

Pretty much... Busy as heck!!!... O.o

I can't believe Wend left so many things to get done at the very very last minute. He he he. Or well, maybe I can, since I am kind of the same too. But still. It was a mess!.

I was supposed to pick her up at 12:30, so we could go to the baptize of a new little fellow in her family. I called to wake her up at 8:30 or so, and when I said I was going to meet her then, she said something like -it's ok if you arrive earlier too-. Yay!!!...

So I did. Not too early though, just about an hour. But I wanted to chill with her before the family gathering, and I wanted to surprise her with a nice flower. So I got the flower and rang her bell. She threw her keys from her balcony, and then I got my self in her apartment. I opened the door, and greeted her!. (All the while, I was hiding the flower in my back with my left hand). Then she walked to her kitchen to get some water, etc. I followed, and had some chit chat while she was in the kitchen. (She was oblivious of the presence of the flower still then).

Just when she was about to walk out from the kitchen, I stopped her and took the flower out...

Her face... ^_^

I just swear I do those things just so I can have a glimpse of that face...

So full of awe, that wonderful smile, the sparkle in her eyes... The hug!!!... It is just... Awesome...

Sigh...

... Then I helped a bit around the house, to fix some things, pick up garbage, etc. As well we kept fooling around and being silly around each other. He he he. Wend was doing laundry, etc, etc. It was just fun. That early hour was so worth it.

Eventually she got ready and pretty, and we drove to the church where the ceremony was taking place. It was a massive baptism ceremony. First time I have been in one of those. Usually, I just saw the parents of the one child getting baptized, the priest and then the ceremony. But well, I guess a lot of kids are getting born nowadays, and priest do have a lot of work. So there were at least 5 or 6 kids who got the whole deal at the same ceremony that day.

He he he. I got to meet some of Wend's family that visited from outside the city, and that was fun. One cousin of her looks very cool, and it is obvious she really gets along well with him. He lives in the USA and is now studying to become a pilot... O.o Cool, huh?.

The meal we had with the guests was fun. We were sat in a table filled with older guys, in their mid 30's or so. And the conversation was mostly around kids and how to raise them!!... He he he. That was so weird and amusing at the same time!. ^_^

One of the women in there kept saying I looked like one of the Baldwin brothers... I... Just... Cannot see why. But she kept saying how this guy was good looking and all, so... I guess I should take it as a compliment?... He he he. Wend gave me a fun hard time about it later that day.

Anyway, we had to take off early because Wend had all this things to do, so right after we ate, we just walked out of the place. Her aunt didn't want to let us at first, but when she saw Wend's to-do list, and found out that she was leaving that same day, she understood and almost walked us out!!... He he he. Not before yelling a little at Wend about she leaving things for the last minute all the time. ;-)

So, the day was like that. Driving around getting things done. It was fun to be honest. He he he. And we kept talking and having fun on the car too. We had to go twice to the TEC because the 1st time I had forgotten my keys, and all such things to make the day interesting. Went downtown to buy stuff, to chapultepec, etc, etc, etc. (The time by the comics book store was awesome... We actually took it easy then, and Wend allowed me to get all geeky and I told her a lot of things about all the comics and why they were cool, or bad, and all!!... He he he. Yay!)

Surprinsingly enough though, we got everything done in time. And we were back in her place with plenty of time to get the last things ready. She gave me a lot of little things to keep her in my mind... Sigh... I placed some of my lotion in the little teddy dog she was taking along (the one I gave her on Feb 14th), she placed some of hers in the heart she gave me on our 2nd month. Etc. ^_^ I know, we are corny.

Little by little it felt like good bye. Yet there was so much to do, that we couldn't really get sad.

At 8:00 pm, my dad picked us up along with my mom. They both had volunteered on driving us to the bus station, and well, they wanted to say bye to Wend too. The drive there we both were mostly quiet... Just... Holding hands... We both knew what was coming, but we both knew better than talking.

Those times are better shared in silence.

... At the station, we got her ticket and well... The wait. All of a sudden we realized I had forgotten her jacket in my car, which was by her apartment, and I felt like shit because I feared the bus was going to be too cold due to AC or something... Argh!!!... He he he. But oh well... It was good at the end.

The good bye?... Cannot really explain how it was... There were not many words to be honest. A couple of kisses and hugs, with great vibes and love each. Some words exchanged... -take care- And little things like that... None of us wanted to make a huge deal out of it, so you could tell we were working hard on taking it easy... Just as if we were to see each other the next day almost...
... She took off, and so did we... For quite a while though, we kept exchanging text messages through our cell phones... There we actually talked about missing each other and all those other things... He he he.

...

I liked the way it was... Filled with emotion, and although it felt nostalgic, it wasn't sad at all... Just nice and warm... Like a good hug it felt.

... Sigh...

Now I am in sigh mood... And want to write no more... He he he...

I deserve some alone time with my girl in my mind... ^_^

Cheers to thee all... Thanks for the good vibes.

ps. That was Saturday... Soon I may be able to catch up with my self... Heh.
