A Year by the Sea 2026! - February at San Pedro Public Beach - Bingag, Dauis

-

 




















And out of a sudden we decided to go to San Pedro Beach, a public beach almost ten minutes by walk. This is where I grow up. My happy place. The place where I was also insecure, where I drown at six years old.

My sister who lives in Panglao joined us with her son RR. Awing and Yohan, my nephews were there too. Awing brought with him several chips for us to munch on. I just brought water and left over pancakes.

The funny part was, there was this Italian tourist who made the boys’ swim even more exciting. He spent his time playfully tossing the kids into the water, and their giggles filled the air.

Out of a sudden, I heard Sush crying while clutching the boat’s outrigger.

I have warned them even before not to play with an outrigger cause it might cause drowning the moment it will move to the deeper part of the water and it happened. She learned her lesson that day.

Over all, the kids are happy and I have a calmer heart for the day.

  On the way to work, M shared to me that Sush always wanted her to pick me up from work at 5pm. Sush always said that she misses me. And once, Sush mentioned that she wanted her to buy a PINK flower. When she asked why, Sush said she wanted to give to Mama. This sweet little girl knows how to make me happy :)

His First Movie Ever ~

  Today Nat and I went to ICM to watch the movie 'Song of the Fireflies'. The movie was something I can anticipate when it comes to the theme and how it may appear. It was important for me not to miss it because the movie is something that a Boholana like me can be proud of. It was all about how the Loboc Children's Choir originated. Two reasons why I excitedly decided to watch it even if it was not mandatory: 1) I miss the cinema, the feeling of watching the big screen (not Netflix). 2) I want Nat to experience it himself, it was his first and this may not be available someday It was not easy to accomplish since the movie would start at 7:30AM, and so we have to be at the City before that. We left home at around 6:30AM so gladly we still have enough time to be there and find some chips to go with our movie time. We bought food at 7eleven Task Us building.  It was a combination of unhealthy ones to entertain our palate while watching ;) Waiting for the time when we can ente...

Childhood Trauma Post ~

My eyes caught someone's post in FB today, and I can resonate with this for myself and my kids. " We often think that just because we dealt with feeling neglected or abandoned as a child, we become “okay” as adults. We tell ourselves “Matanda na’ko. Tapos na yun”. (I'm a grown up now, I'm done with that). The reality is this: the wound left by our mother or father that has not been addressed will continue to bleed in every aspect of our lives. Majority of the time, these wounds will keep showing up in our relationships regardless if it’s personal, professional, or even intimate. Childhood trauma lingers unless we face it. Life is short. Make peace with your parents. This could be the final piece of the puzzle that will complete you. " - Jose Enrico V. Libunao This is definitely true and I hope that despite their special life beginnings, Sush and Nat will be able to bounce back in life in a positive way and be able to face their past without any ill feelings. I wi...
