Tubig Dako - Mangga with Kiddos

 

Who would have thought that this place existed here, in Manga?!


















































It was a day after my colleague Tome Ghie’s spent her last day at our office. She has resigned and will be transferring at DEPED. We have agreed to spend a day at the beach, especially for the kids.

It was an easy decision because our kids get along well. 

It took me a while to even notice that there are beaches in Tagbilaran City where we can have a picnic.

I learned of one sa Ubujan, but not this part here. It was called Tubig Dako – Manga. As they shared, there is also one called Tubig Dako – Taloto.

We didn’t spend much actually on the food. We don't want to burden each other with food and expectations. We just have to bring what we can from home.

Nothing fancy, just food we can afford.

Gera felt like she could have chosen the beach in Panglao but opted for the one without entrance fees. As I told them, it’s not about the place, it’s about the people we are with ðŸ˜‰

With the right company, happiness is possible.

Moments That Makes Me Sad as a Mama

There have been many times recently when Sush was so sleepy she would complain or I will find her sleeping on the sofa at the lobby area of our Admin Department.

But I'm still thankful of my work because of this organization, I can work while still looking after them too. 









Still with a grateful heart. 

Too sleepy to care.

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 enter the cinema

Outside the cinema.


The long queue of movie-goers.


Happy for my food.


Mama and I.


One of those "moments", on the movie.


Bringing memories of past movies watched.

Taming this boy is not easy.


Before we took the exit.


People. People.


What a day! Done watching the movie.


I only hope that Nat was able to appreciate even just a little of it, even if it was not meant for a 6-year-old. LOL :)

BQ Malling and Strolling ~

 

 
 
 




Bohol Quality (BQ) is one of the malls in our City. I love the moments I spent with them roaming around, even if that means not even buying anything.

But then again, sometimes I really need to have even a few pesos, even if it just means – for ice cream :)

Lagkaw Nature Inn - A Treat To Self And Nat!


 


 




 
 













 
 

 



When everything becomes too much at home, I will long for peace. A peaceful place. Almost a forest, LOL. :D

And it happens that M and Sushi went home to Trinidad so I decided to take my own "little vacation" with Nat. 

What could be better than the Lagkaw Nature Inn in Alicia, Bohol. Its ambience is something I have been dreaming of. Thankfully, it was there at the right time. Perfect!

Just what I need :)
