Birthday 2021

 It was my 2nd birthday that I celebrated in the midst of the pandemic. 

Initially, we planned to spend the night before my birthday at a resort-just the 3 of us. Everything was ready. accommodation was booked, food was cooked ahead, schedules were fixed - and then suddenly, a storm came. If it was only rain and some thunderstorm, we will still push through with the plan but there were strong winds accompanying the rain, some areas in Bohol were already flooding. So, with a heavy heart, we cancelled our reservation and just spent the night at home. It was the right thing to do for our safety of course.

The following morning, my birthday.. the rain stopped, no more howling winds and all, though the sky was gloomy it was bearable since it was no longer raining. We decided to go to Panglao since we took the day off anyway, what better way to make up for the disappointments we felt than to go to the beach instead. We strolled along the beach of Alona, swimming was prohibited still not that we were planning to swim anyway. We just enjoyed the peaceful beach, with cool winds and big waves. It was a beauty to behold.



After our quick beach getaway, we went home and rested. We had dinner with my side of the family as always.

It's been 37 years of bliss. I am thankful for this 37 years Lord and I am praying for more healthy years ahead with the people I love the most.

Thank you!

Day 1 of 365

On the first day of 2018, it was raining the whole day because of TD Agaton. Yes, Agaton started the new year. We all did not invite him but still, he came and even left some areas flooded. But, nonetheless, we had fun celebrating the first day of the new year 2018 and at the same time the birthday of our youngest bro, Emman. Although, most of the time we were sleeping or lying down, we enjoyed new year. The pics tell it all. Happy New Year! Mamay :-)

Day 2 of 365

Second day of 2018 was a working day for me. I had to endure holiday blues and get myself to the office and spent 8 hours in front of my computer looking at pictures from the previous holidays and did not even touched anything that has something to do with work. Hahaha. Lucky for me I don't have that much to do these days so I had the luxury of time to splurge on unnecessary things. By the way, I took my daughter with me to work since I really don't have anything to do at the office. We went to buy the toy that she wanted for the money that she earned (partly). It was expensive! I never would have splurged my money on that toy if it was my money, but it's partly hers, so let it be. She was happy though with that toy and that was enough for a mom like me. That was how my 2nd day of 2018 went. Mamay

Unplanned trips are the Best!

 Last July 1, since it was a holiday in Tagbilaran City in commemoration of its Charter Day, we have no work or shall I say I have no work- Papay decided to take the day off as well. Out of the blue, he jokingly said that we'll go to Strawberry farm in Mayana, Jagna and I took his words - so off we go! That trip was long-overdue anyway, we have been talking of going but it never pushed through. It is true that it's better not to plan things and just go with the flow, no disappointments.  It was a long drive, we had several stop overs because reality, our body can't keep up with our minds. My legs and back were aching but because I did not want to be called "KJ" as what they often call me.. so I braved all that. We stopped first in Lila for a photo op because Papay wanted to show to his friend whose from Lila but now in abroad, you know, to make him feel more home-sick. Haha! Our second stop-over was in Garcia Hernandez, this time it was a long stop. Papay ate his ...
