Sun-kissed

It's not often that we get our free days synchronized. An hour or two wherein we have lunch or coffee or we just meet up after dinner is quite common for us, but a whole day is rare. Today is not even one of those rare times as one of us had to close shop for a day while the other had to delay a previous beach reservation just to be with the group. Bless your hearts Michele and Tatah for squeezing this outing into your busy schedules!


After a memorable tour of Aloguinsan last November, we decided to make short trips to different places in Cebu together and with our respective families. Today, our destination of choice was a private beach in Buyong, Mactan, owned by good friends. Fortunately for us the place was not yet booked when we inquired.

The planning was quick via FB messenger while M was in faraway Vancouver! Thank God for technology!

To make the story short, here is a short clip of selected photos we took in between the exchange of stories, the laughter, the munching of chips and nuts, the cooking by the hubbies, the feasting (of Mama Gie's kilayin, Edgar's spaghetti, Forden and Jerry's grilled pork/fish/squid, rice and fruits), and plain lazing around enjoying the sea breeze.

One thing we have going for us is that we have strong faith that this too shall pass, and that the Filipino will rise above. It is October already and it seemed that no one noticed that we arrived Manila last Monday at the heels of the weekend Typhoon Ondoy visited the country. This week we celebrated the feast of the Archangels - Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, and last Thursday, we celebrated the feast of our Guardian Angels. What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It
