come to davao!

my cousin, Christine Hope, had been here since
new year's eve.
we have been inviting her since
"i could not remember."
my uncle doesn't let her travel without
somebody from their fam accompany her.
but finally her dad succumbed
and she's here!
(she's graduated college, anyway!) ;)
i wasn't able to go with them (w/ lalai & mamams)
at crocodile park last saturday night
(praise & worship prax kasi...
at nagpower-off the whole AM nung Sunday! haha...)
Lalai & Migz drove her to people's park
then to our cousins' house
last sunday night
(again, di ako nakasama...
i was unwell,
yet felt well when the eagurlz nestled with me!
mbuti nlng anjan kau girls...)
so yesterday, it was my treat...
Sinabi rin kasi ni Papaps na nakakagaling
ng sipon at ubo ang dagat...
so ayon, we packed our stuff
to Blujaz Resort at the
Island Garden City of Samal (IGaCoS)...
We brought AJ along...
ala din naman siyang gawin eh...
hehe...

Hope texted her f&f to make them jelly...
haha...
it was also my first time at the newly constructed resort.
it was serene...
it melted the christmas* buzz in me
and it buffeted summer immediately.

the girls freshened at the pool
while clad with (nooo... not the strings!)
their child-like hearts.

we dipped in the cool, waveless ocean
and unraveled our hearts out.
(lam nu na un... hot seat! haha)

the water, the sky, the sand...
and xempre... the gurlz...
all composed...
oh so ideal!
sabi pa nga ni Hope,
"Ate, this is such a perfect holiday!"
i thought so, too.
i love davao.
i love beach again.

me, chillin'

we had our youth reload staff island hopping today
at Talikud Island, IGACOS
(Island Garden City of Samal)...
so fun and so relaxing!!!
it was all nature (plus our silly BCC nature, haha)
mababaw lng talaga ang kaligayahan namin.
in short, corny!
we had our second stop at one of the long white stretch
of Talikud. we played games and ate lunch.
we baked ourselves under the scorching heat of Mr. Sun
as we lavished ourselves with lots of digi clickin's.
it seemed like we own the whole virgin resort.
i really enjoyed snorkeling...
all the fishes graced my being there.
they really entertained me.
and oh the corals! lovely!
i literally pained my hands
as i unconsciously held on to my life jacket too tightly!
i actually don't now how to swim.
i can't even dog stroke! haha.
but i dared myself at plunging into cold green waters
of Samal. and it's perfectly worth the WHY-NOT.
so just after my 1-hour jumping, kicking, floating
in the deep, i terribly sprained my right leg
when i climbed up the boat.
it's just good that i was all done with my soakin'. hehe.

so here i am waiting for my dampened hair to dry totally.
i'm already looking forward to another hoppin'
to some island in November (joke!)
it's because i had gone to one last month. hehe.
i ain't dreamin' yet.
i am wide awake.
it's actually weird that i don't crave for sleep
after a very energetic day!
i was totally strengthened by the beach getaway!
wooh, new discovery for me!
sea, sand and sun is no longer stress for me!
haha... thank you summer for extending! ;-D

lovin' the girls

when coincidence collides with all that happens to your life, well, the world calls that simple fate... but in God's hands, it's always planned... nearing four years in the vision of raising up leaders who will make a difference in this world through Jesus, I am so amazed to see my girls really making it... once a year, all of our cells come together just to have fun and meet together. as always, we can never be complete. but that doesn't stop us. we were all up for the challenges set that day and we closed it happy, richer with friends, stronger as a family, and again, grown in discipline...
