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.

Harbour City Dimsum House Island City Mall: Date with Sush - February 2026

 

Today, I was not able to go to work still because of fever.
I sent Sush to school and waited for 2 hours at her day care. We then went to ICM to pay Boheco and have lunch date at Harbour City before we went to the hospital.
I let her play too at ICM ground floor where this inflatable kids’ playground was installed.
I paid P100.00 for her 30 minutes of play.
Just watching her happy makes me so happy too :)
We then head to HNU hospital for my throat check up.
Sush was so tired, she slept at Doc Tinoy’s clinic.

Mix Eat By Jonies: Date with Sush - January 2026

The month has almost ended, and I tried to make sure that I can snatch a few minutes or two with Sush alone too, just like what I had with Nat.

I don't know how everything will unfold, how a 4-year-old behaves but I wanted to do it.

So we had an early lunch at Mix Eat By Jonie's located at Alta Citta in Tagbilaran City. Thankful for my sister who took me to the City because we used her credit card for the washing machine and a new fridge.
Sush was excited for Jollibee but we have been there many times :D So I decided we just have to go to  Mix Eat instead. 

I was kind of regretted it because the food seemed for adults, but I was able to ask exactly their bestsellers for kids and they recommended the pork adobo with egg.

The food they have recommended for kids. The meat is too sweet, to be honest :)

I love my food choice though :)

This moment is precious to me :)

Problem solved.

However, my little lady's attention was kind of divided because she was more exited on the rides nearby. Geez ;) I know that at times I need to admit that she WON!

See her smile? :)

Over-all the ambience at Mix Eat By Jonie's is pleasant but with a kid, I think I was intruding the adults who went there for peace :) The downside to them is that they used too many plastics for their packaging that they really do contribute to tons of trash in our country. Sadly :(
