Pinoy Chatroom #3

BUZZ!

beatifulgirl_29: what the??

rodney_b92: kumusta?

beautifulgirl_29: mabuti, ikaw?

rodney_b92: i am fine..

The girl checked his profile, she thought he's Filipino, but to her disappointment, he is white. So she decided, no way she's going to chat with a foreigner.

beautifulgirl_29: cool, well..got to go, have a nice day.

rodney_b92: ok, take care, talk at you later.

Well, this was where  Rodney and I met, over the Internet, it was 8 years ago. I was in Chicago, Illinois, living the life of a single mother, working girl  and poor..Hahaha! He's in the Air Force and stationed in Barksdale, Louisiana.  I didn't have anything against foreigner, I have so many White, African-American, Indians, etc.  friends, but for a boyfriend, I had my reasons. And he understands with a smile on his face.

Anyway, whenever I was online, he can always see me and  would send me an IM, I would reply but, not a lot. He's a nice person, but I didn't feel him, you know what I mean? I prefer Filipino during that time. He's persistent and he was interesting to talk to, but, I was more interested in chatting with other people.  I would have numerous windows open  and the possibility of forgetting about him,  annoyed him so much.

We exchanged hi's and hello's through e-mails. It lasted for 3-4 months. Then we got along well and became friends. He told me he has 2 girls and he knew I have a son. He mentioned his kids a lot that I felt he's a great dad and that's  important to me, since I have a son that would benefit from having a good father figure. He also mentioned about his family, parents, sisters, brothers  and nieces, nephews. That time, I realized, he really must be a great person, a loving father, son, brother and uncle.

                                                            Just thought to add this picture.

He wanted me to call him,  I didn't want to but, I thought, a phone call was not going to kill me. I called him the first time and his phone was busy and I left a message " Well, you told me to call you and I did, but your phone was busy. I did my part so you can't say that I didn't. Have a great day to you." Hehehe, I can still remember that phone call. He apologized and we started having phone conversation whenever it's convenient.

We ,then became regular chat mates, I started to like him since he has this soft voice. A voice of a DJ on a radio. He can be mean if he wants to, but he can be sexy at times too. The one thing that I admired about him that time was, he was very respectful, so polite and so happy to talk to. He joked a lot. He was saying lots of phrases that I hardly understood, he said, those were Southern phrases. He never mentioned anything that pertains to sexual innuendos and that's what I liked about him. Unlike other guys on the Net that all they talked about was sex and all.

Rodney was in the military, so I assumed that he got his  politeness and being respectful from his training, and most of the militaries that I encountered, they're all nice to people. Being on the phone , and chatting a lot, we developed some kind of mutual understanding. I started to ignore my other chat mates and I didn't know if he did the same, but who cares,we're not lovers or anything so I didn't have any rights to ask him to do anything against his will.

Until one day, we both thought that we  felt  some kind of "something" towards each other. I started composing a poem  (yes, can you imagine? a poem) for him and when I talked to him on the phone, I started seeing stars and moon and the whole universe, Hahaha!!! (I know you're reading this, Honey) I found a great confidant on him. It was a great feeling after working,  just by talking to him on the phone.

Then, we decided that it's time to meet in person. So, we did. He got out of the military that June 2001 and he came and visited me in Chicago. The first time I seen him, I wasn't impressed at all. He was so tall (6'2" against my 5'0") , skinny and WHITE! Holy Smokies! I see white people all the time, since I worked in a department store, but not too close, hahaha! He gave me a smack on my lips (been curious how does it feel to kiss a white guy..) Honestly, I felt awkward..I mean, he's too stinkin' tall for me.

                                                                              Where we ate on our first date in Chicago Illinois June 22, 2001

We ate at this  (now it's our memorable restaurant) food place, Bennigan's, and he paid for everything ,of course,  hehehe..I can hardly eat that time, was so nervous and of course, demure effect. Now, he would joke about it whenever we eat at Chinese Buffet. " Babe, when we first met, you ate like a mouse, now you eat like a pig.." and I will simply say "I love you too, Honey"

Well, what else can I say..That's how we started and 8 years later, we had 3 beautiful kids together.  My kid and his kids and our kids, totaled to 6 kids all together..Wow, hahaha!!!

                                                                                                                   Six beautiful children of ours

We've been through a lot of hardship, financial wise..We've lived in so many places, and I am so proud to say, our LOVE  gets stronger each day. When we  look at each other,  we can see and feel love like fire, we would joke around, and we hold hands while walking, we always tell how much we love each other. We would call on the phone just to say " I Love You" that way, we're both motivated and inspired all day.

                                                                     I sent this to him when he was in Alabama last summer

I always create things to let him know how much I care for him, how much he means to me, that way, he knows in his heart that I am always by his side.

Every time we're away from each other and we chat, it never fails, we always say our truest feelings and we have this line that always touches us both, "You complete me" or "You are my everything, You are my life" That says it all....

Our relationship seems too good to be true, but that's how it is. You might think, it's too corny and unbelievable, we have our disagreement once in a while, and that's normal , but with great Communication, Trust, Love and Respect, we still like  newly weds I tell yah...Ask my mother, hahaha!!

That's all Folks! , I do hope that this love story didn't bore you..I can go on and on and on..but, mystery is always good. and we have 50 more years to go and maybe when we reached that, I can write Love Story Part 2 post, if I can still see the keyboard with my thick glasses on......Wanna bet???? Take care you all..
