Whiling the Time Away

It’s really late. I ought to be sleeping already but I just came in from spending the night out with Ate, the kids and some of their relatives. I’m feeling a bit perked up at the moment. So I’m doing this for a bit of some winding down.

Ate and the kids are leaving tomorrow for Manila. They will be spending two days there before flying out to Hongkong and then eventually to Australia. They’ve been here for two weeks only, such a short time but we’ve really been busy the whole time. There were just far too many gatherings and family outings being squeezed in into an already tight schedule in view of the Holidays.

Oh well, it’s going to be a long time till they’ll be vacationing again. Hope it will be longer next time though and would feature some “really” out of town trips. This time we’ve been to Nabunturan to visit its famous hot spring resort. It also served as a treat to the olds. I’m hoping that next time though we would be going somewhere a little bit further than that like Camiguin or Boracay. I’ve been to both several times already but I wouldn’t mind going to these places again with the family.

Actually, I’ve been intending to visit Manila as well to spend more time with Ate’s kids and to treat Mama but the schedule is not so good with the Holiday rush and all to consider. The thought of spending most of the three days in Manila sitting out a traffic jam is horrendous and well, not seem worth the money and the time. It would be heavenly to spend a few more days with them though but oh well.. next time.

Hey, Ate, Kuya, Tung, Bodok and Lian, it was truly nice seeing and spending some time with you. Looking forward to your next vacation. Take care always, ‘love you.
