Mati is probably one of the places I love to visit here in Region XI, Philippines. Why? Going to Mati is never a bore as there are a lot of breathtaking views ones eyes could feast on. Here’s my fave site…
This is the “sleeping dinosaur,” located in Badas, Mati, Davao Oriental. A wonderful work of land formation looking like a sleeping dinosaur (thus its name) from a distance.
We are here spending our weekends in my parents in law’s house. We were supposed to come here tomorrow in time for Sunday service but Lola texted the kids telling them that a gallon of ice cream is waiting for them here.
And so when I arrived home from the market they were so excited to tell me that we have to go to Lola’s house because there was a surprise waiting for them.
The grandparents must have missed the kids so much that they thought of something that will surely lure the kids to visit them. Poor Lolo and Lola and to think that they were the only ones aside from another cousin who are just here in the city.
But we seldom visit downtown because we felt too tired to travel and sometimes weekdays are just too busy that we opted to spend weekends in bed to be recharge for the coming school days.
Anyway, I am glad that Monday is a holiday and that means having longer days to spend here.
I was rushing to school this morning for I couldn’t afford to be late. I was already late for days and another day won’t do me good.
It’s Valentine’s day and no one whispered sweet things to me this morning since hubby is away for some sports activity. The little boy woke up early as usual and shared breakfast with me but he seemed to have waken up in the wrong side of bed as he won’t look straight to my eyes and kept on pouting his lips as if any minute he would burst into some childhood tantrums.
I rushed to the gate and it was locked and so I needed to come back for the key and just as I was about to leave, my little girl ran rushing, her long black hair in total disarray and was still covering her oval-shaped face and shouted, “Mommy, happy valentine’s day!”
Those words seemed to stop my world for a few seconds and brought me back to my senses. I came running back to the house and planted a very deep kiss on her pink cheeks. She was the first person to greet me on heart’s day and it really felt so different.
She got to learn about valentine’s day in school and just last night, maybe she never really could fathom what this occasion is all about, she asked who celebrate valentine’s day. Without really being too engrossed with that queries since I was too preoccupied with other things. I simply told her that it is for the people who love. As simple as that.
And that idea made her wake up much more early than usual just to be able to greet me before I left for school this morning.
Nothing could really underestimate a child’s unconditional love to their parents and I am in high heavens knowing that my kids love me so much.
Happy Valentine’s day, my little ones.
How would you feel if your husband is being seduced in your presence by no less than a gay?
Well, my husband and I found it very amusing as the gay is really gay. I mean he or should I say she is very funny. I mean he got a real sense of humor that when we were with him we never really did have any dull moments.
I have nothing against gay. None at all because I have lots of gay friends and I think I have always been surrounded by them even when I was younger. I even have a gay attitude that is why sometimes my husband would tell me that he is married to a gay.
But that was really the first time that a gay flirted to my husband in front of me. And honestly I never really got offended.
The gay didn’t even expect that we were husband and wife as we didn’t arrive in the place together. He just thought that we were just colleagues until he asked my husband whether he was single or not. My husband gamely answered him that he was single and he was sitting with her wife pointing to me.
Noticing his wedding ring, the gay asked him about it and both of us answered that it was not a wedding ring but a free gift from some candy and we both giggled.
After that the gay took his distance. And I admired him for that for he showed some respect to both of us as we really needed some stolen moments as if have not spent our anniversary together. Well, the stolen moments means having to talk about how kids were and things I need to remember when I got home plus some exchange of very personal remarks.
Well…
Two days to go and my husband and I will be celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary. But he won;t be around to spend it with me for by that time he would be traveling for six hours from Davao City to Mati City for a week-long Davao Region Athletics Association Meet where he was assigned as the delegation photographer.
Isn’t lonely? Well, on the other hand, I will be also attending a one-day seminar for school paper advisers on that very day and that seminar has been a sweet welcome since I don’t want to wallow on self-pity as I will be left alone to celebrate this special day.
But, honey told me that there’s no reason for me to be so gloomy anyway, we seemed to be celebrating our anniversary everyday. And besides, we will be spending a lifetime together.
Wow, neat isn’t it? That was probably the sweetest things that I have ever heard in my entire life.
If you are thinking about the newest Clear Shampoo commercial starring Piolo Pascual, then you got it right. But, honestly, I don’t like the commercial at all. I don’t like the idea of having a Black Valentine even if it only means a shampoo campaign for daring to go black since you won’t have to experience an embarrassing situation with a date because you are dandruff-free.
Honestly, I have already grown up with the idea of relating black to something evil for what has a color got to do with it. But, the idea of promoting a Black Angel, well, this is much more different and I found it really insane.
Nop, I have nothing against Piolo Pascual. In fact I am an avid fan of him. When much more younger, my daughter used to joke around that if we wanted a new “daddy” then it would be Piolo. And whenever she saw Piolo on the tube, she would then say, “Mommy, look the love of our lives.”
Now, my daughter shares the same feelings with me too or maybe she was just influenced with what I thought. We both utter words of disgust whenever this Clear commercial is being aired.
