Loving Living The Awesome Life

Such a while now, since I have put up my thoughts and just few other major changes happening  in our lives. ---- the growing up ----- it's a beautiful experience to have, to embrace,  to cherish in our hearts, I love being in that transition phase and keep it on and on and on because life is but a continued learning process.

How wonderful talking with your own children's growth experience and relive your own as well, the comparison isn't too bad, intact it's enjoyable topic. Such topic now is "crushes" well, I had some when I was their age too, secretly though. It seemed a crime for a girl to publicly acknowledged that she had a "liking" to an opposite gender. Good thing now with my children, it's fine to like someone. They told me, of course with prodding, but between my kids and me, it's kept! Except the Aunties and few Uncles knew that they have crushes. The most fun of it, it can be a highlight in some boring days. Those sweet innocencent smile and laughter shared when asked how's your crush today? Is amazingly grand😍

The other event that occurred was our grand homecoming to the Philippines and stayed 3 months in there mainly to see my mother who was ill with dementia, it was a mixed emotion to be back home. it was exciting as much as challenging blending in the culture their mother grown up with. Meeting up relatives with a foreign tongue and associating friends. All is like a big huge family we met. My former colleagues at work, batchmate in high schools, in university too.

We flew from Adelaide to Melbourne on Qantas domestic flight. Transferred to a Qantas international flight to HongKong. Our connecting flight was in another 4 hours so we camped in the airport to wait for our next flight towards Cebu to Davao. This is through Cebu Pacific airline, a big mistake! When travelling with kids, not recommended! The food ordered is single and small serve, not even enough to my child - usual serving portion. Complaining, yah! Qantas served us well. Then from HongKong to Cebu, flight is smooth and as we soon found out the domestic flight from Cebu-Davao vacuumed our ears, the kids were not impress obviously!

We travelled around beautiful places nearby Davao, the peace and order was a worry, with news of abduction or kidnapping for ransom. But managed to see few tourist spots such as the Hinatuan's Enchanted River, the Sabadan Floating Resortt*----also the Tinuy-an Falls all in Surigao del Sur. We been to Eden Garden in Davao City with zipline also in Le Reve in Makilala North Cotabato. A beautiful place nearby with a massive zipline which we survived too prior to our way feed the monkeys in their main town. It's called New Israel.

Then three months was up we bade our goodbye knowing I'll might not see my mother again & true she left the next year on my birthday May 16, 2016.  Our stay was 25 October 2013 - 27 January 2014. We flew back from Davao to HongKong and stayed there for six days as it's my daughter' Ginneile wish to see HK Disneyland which we did as well as they Ocean Park. University classmate and friend was very helpful "Trinidad Lumpot -Trining" and a new friend Gloria. Equally challenging place to be population wise it's an ocean but Gladstone is only a puddle in comparison😊.

Planned to see cousin in Melbourne but miscalculated my flight schedule it didn't pushed trough. Soon home on February 3, 2014. It's our biggest travel so far. We intend to do more as soon as we can.

We had last year a 1400 kms one way to Tamworth by car visiting my brother and his family together with my sisters and brothers-in-law. Aiming to do some more when my new reliable car.

So amazing, so blessed, so much loved, despite some downs, we can create our high too, higher than the last one and keep on creating our grandeur in life... keep loving, bring humble submit our will to His Almighty God in His Glory, Power & Honour even Humour ❤️❤️❤️

Stay in love dearest🎶🎼😄🎸🌈🌈🌈🌈 find the rainbow and the pot of gold too

*Sabadan Floating resort 

It's a simple made floating accomodation on stilts in a very minimal accomodation  charges , the twist is they have live fresh fishes under the floating  resort , that you can pick for your dinner and the best part also is there's a spot that you can swim with some of these marine animals, my daughter & my son were so ecstatic and awed with the experiences.
