Can you believe it’s 2019 and we’re already ending January? Time flies so fast when you are a busy, working mother of young kids like me.

In addition to my busyness, I have been updating myself of what's happening in the world through social media and one thing that caught my attention was what others were sharing on their status, and that's about #onewordfor2019. To keep up with the trend, I write mine here on my blog (should have written this early January, hehe)

What would this be?
My one word is as the same as others that I came across online, and it's the word PATIENCE! And I repeat PATIENCE.  

I've encountered a bunch of situations where my patience is being tested. One of which is waiting for others.  For example, when my relatives and I agreed to meet up for an outing and when they arrived late, I easily got upset. I don't like waiting for others especially when I know I am on time.

When it comes to my kids, I am impatient at times too. Most especially when they don't listen to me and seem to disregard my teachings. I also got angry easily when they misbehave and distract me at work.

In terms of being a wife to my husband, I am sometimes moody, cold and not a good listener. I easily get irritated when things don't turn out well as I want it to be.

There are actually other things that I become impatient of  (which I won't mention) and I already feel ashamed for being one.

Over the years, I've felt like I am being swallowed by this negative attitude which may have ruined my relationship with my family and others.  I have been praying hard that through God's grace, I will practice patience in all aspects of my life this year 2019. So help me God!

Before the New Year kicks off,  one of my goals this 2019 is to bring my family to different places and explore whatever gems they may have hidden. Of course, I should start with the local places here in Davao.

So last Sunday was our first outing of the year at the same time Chesska's 7th birthday. We decided to have the celebration on the 13th (supposedly 14th) since her birthday falls on school days. She loves outing twice as much as I do, so we opted to celebrate it here in Miyaki Inland resort, which is more accessible from where we live. Before I give my feedback, I will show first our photos.

Location: If you are living in the south, this resort is pretty near. It is just a little hidden and located within a residential area. If you plan to commute, just drop off at the corner Holy Cross, Mintal and tell the tricycle to bring you to Miyaki resort.

Swimming Pool:  The resort consists of two swimming pools. One for day-tour and the other one is exclusive to those who book their rooms. The swimming pool is relatively small as compared to other resorts I've been to. So I surmise,  it will become more crowded during peak days. However, I love the ambiance as it's facing nature which brings a breezy atmosphere.

Facilities: They do have a function hall for special events. They also have plenty of rooms for those who wish for an overnight stay. Space for parking is also enough for several cars.

Price: The entrance fee is 150 per head and the cottage we got just near the swimming pool is P500. As seen on their Facebook page, if you book a slot, they are asking for a minimum of 10 persons. We were only 8 at that time but they did not let us pay the remaining two. Just make sure to book for your event beforehand to reserve the slots.

Foods: As of now, they don't have yet a restaurant. You can bring your food and no corkage at all except for soft and hard drinks.

Customer Service: So far they are accommodating and polite. I have only one complaint, I've seen no staff cleaning the litters around the resort. I also haven't seen a garbage bin near our cottage where we can dispose of our trash. There was also a poop of a dog near the pool and I had to call the staff to clean it off. No security guards to oversee the safety of the customers.

=====================================================================

Our stay was pleasant and enjoyable. We had a great time taking pictures, trekking downhill, exploring the hanging bride which I think one of their main attractions.
