SUNNY SATURDAY

The weather has finally turned sunny today. A bit overcast though but lovely weather nonetheless. I hope it remains that way: not to wet but not too hot. =D

.....

Today Ruther is off to Fuji-Q Highland, an amusement park to spend their company outing there. They were supposed to go there weeks ago but because of strong rains, they had to postpone it. So today, being all warm and sunny (Ruther said it was HOT!) I suppose they'll have their fill of fun. =D In case you were wondering what the amusement park is about, here's a little info from Wikipedia:

Fuji-Q Highland (富士急ハイランド) is an amusement park in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, Japan.
The themepark is near the base of Mount Fuji. It has a number of roller coasters, as well as Thomas World, a children's area with a Thomas the Tank Engine theme.
Fuji-Q's most famous roller coasters are:
Fujiyama, 259 feet tall, 80.8 mph. Opened in 1996, it was once the world's tallest roller coaster. As of 2005 it is the world's 7th tallest and 5th longest roller coaster.
Dodonpa, 170 feet tall, 106.9 mph. Opened in 2001, it was then the world's fastest roller coaster. As of 2007 it is the 3rd fastest in the world

I just spoke to Ruther on the phone a few minutes ago and he said he already rode the fujiyama and dodonpa. He really is a Type T, I suppose, unlike me who prefers not to have my insides scrambled inside me, thank you very much. I don't know but I just feel like I can't breathe when I'm in one of those things. I suppose it's also partly because I suffer from motion sickness. Anyway, I would still want to ride a real roller coaster even once in my life just so I could tell the boys I did it. The roller coaster that I rode last was the one at Enchanted Kingdom and I'm sure, thrill-seekers consider that child's play to the real thing.

Although I'm happy that Ruther is having fun at Fuji-Q, at the same time, I'm feeling sad too because again, we are making memories separately. Sometimes he does not understand that - when I try to explain to him about my sadness. He thinks I want him to stay home all the time or not to have fun at all which is definitely NOT the case. He does not get it sometimes that I just want us to start making our own memories too. We have been apart for far too long already. In a decade we will be in our 40s and when will we start being together as a family? I am a very sentimental person. Very nurturing and very attached to family. Which is why this constant separation really depresses me to no end. But anyway, I don't want to dwell on that now. Ruther and I have been thinking of taking the big leap and migrating so at least we could be together as a family (finally) but we have to talk more lengthily and plan more about it. I'm just glad that despite our situation, we still manage to keep our marriage strong. Yes, I'm really glad for that.
