I was simply amazed when I looked at these pictures. They made me smile and made me realized how crazily creative my youngest brother, Khem, could get.

 

Simply Refreshing

The day after my sister’s festive wedding, my family took the opportunity to go out of town as we all deserve to relax after the hustle and bustle of the previous day’s event. It was my pops who came up with the idea as it’s such a rarity to have this kind of reunion in my family. And so, we decided to go to Rock Spring Resort in Jasaan, Misamis Oriental as we no longer fancy the beaches in Opol. For those who are non-Cagay-anons, Jasaan is barely two hours ride from the city. You could either go there by bus or jeepney whichever suit you. But in our case we took my brother-in-law’s van, all 16 of us including my 3 nieces and only nephew (for now-another nephew is still hibernating inside her mom’s belly 🙂 ).

The ride to Jasaan was filled with teasing, singing, and even crying as my nephew, Matt, and niece, JD, have always had somewhat a love-hate relationship. And oh, we almost got lost as Chat, my younger sister, who ‘s suppose to memorize the location of the resort by heart, turned out to be not so reliable when it comes to direction. As a result, my brother-in-law, who was driving, made three wrong turns in the intersections.

But the possibility of getting lost was all forgotten when we finally arrived at our destination. The resort was simply amazing. The sound of fresh water gushing was absolutely divine. It was incomparable. It was like experiencing nature at its best. And so, right after having a few bites of the food that we brought my nieces and nephew couldn’t contain their excitement to swim in the non-chlorinated pool. And I have to admit even us, adults, couldn’t resist the coolness and freshness of the water. So we hurriedly changed into our swimming wears and swam non-stop until we shivered from too much coldness.

All in all, the outing was truly fantastic. No, it was majestic! But what’s the best about it was not the scenery, it’s just an added bonus, it was the bonding with my family. And so all of us went home with a grin painted on our faces. We headed home tired but greatly satisfied.

 

Foodie and Personality

I took a foodie quiz today. And guess what! I’m actually a “chocolate”. It seems that me and chocolate are meant to be together 🙂 No violent reactions, please!

FYI: I got the link from one of my most visited foodie blogger.

 

Most Cherished Gift

I wouldn’t trade my family for any riches, ever!

 

Always On the Go

These past few weeks I only have little time to relax and enjoy myself. However, I don’t regret it. Having two jobs maybe a little hectic, but I tell you it’s very enjoyable. Aside from the prospect of earning lots of money, I get to meet fascinating people from far countries. My second job is really fulfilling although I don’t have plans of staying for long. But I’m really grateful to the heavens for this rare opportunity of helping people.

I have to admit that working ’till late in the evening wears me out most of the time, but I don’t mind.
