Even though my birthday outing was not as fun as I expected it to be (since Psalm kept vomiting after we left the boat as the wave was choppy), there are still many things to be grateful for. For 38 years of existence, I have been able to get through countless challenges that make my life better and better. I thank Jesus for clinging on me despite my brokenness. He is ever faithful to me.
So let me share with you our outing last Saturday. I was not supposed to celebrate my birthday on the beach but my older daughter wanted to bathe on the beach so I granted her wish (hehe). We went to Costa Marina Beach Resort in Samal with just family and close Aunt.
The resort was peaceful by the time we arrive due to (maybe) the corona virus scare. But we were not shaken by the epidemic. The show must go on.
The kids enjoyed very much the beach. Psalm this time was still active but 30 minutes later after vomiting, she became pale and weak. She wanted to be carried all the time. So we were not able to swim.
Most of their tables have no roofs so we moved to tents as it was drizzling at that time. This is one of the downsides of the resort.
My birthday falls on a love month so whenever we celebrate my birthday outside, it is always expected that we see Valentine's decorations.
We weren't able to explore the place fully because Psalm was not feeling well but I was able to take some pictures of the resort.
Finally, my dream to throw a Jollibee birthday party for Chesska came into reality. Not only my dream but also her dream. In fact, she's the one who told me that she wanted to have it celebrated in Jollibee. Without further ado, I am so pleased to share with you the package pricelist.

It was a drizzling Friday when we convoyed my childhood friend's car heading to San Isidro where he and his family lives. We seldom see each other since he was assigned in San Isidro, still part of Davao Oriental, as Mayor's bodyguard. That's why when he took a visit to our house here in Davao last New Year, I asked if we could go with him. Husband and I have been longing to visit Mati due to positive feedback we see from social media. We were so lucky at that time because my friend served as our tour guide as he's so familiar with the place.
Here are the places we visited in a span of five hours. All our tiredness went away when we saw some of the beautiful spots of Davao Oriental.
I've managed to juggle different roles: as a mother, wife, teacher to my children, VA, and follower of Christ. Everything falls into place with 100% satisfaction, no regrets so far.
