Mikaela's Moon

I was on vacation leave last Monday, April 10. I had work the night before, and Raymund was in the office although it was his rest day. We went home as soon as I logged out. We packed our stuff and we were on the bus going to Batangas City at 5am.

When we arrived at my parent's house, my dad was cooking breakfast. Raymund and I slept after eating. It was lunch time when they woke us up. My dad cooked a yummy lunch (sinigang na hipon). We got ready to go to the beach and we were on our way at 2:30pm.

We arrived in the Matabungkay Beach resort at 4:40pm. The place was relaxing. My dad got a really nice suite for us. It had two rooms, so Raymund and I had our our room. We all shared a big bathroom. We just dropped our bags in the room and headed off to the clean beach.

The water was shallow, so we didn't have any problems with my two brothers going in. The youngest one, Marx, was scared to go very far, and stayed by the shore. Marven was brave enough to wander far, as long as Raymund was with him. Even at the net that the resort placed, the water was only up to our waist. Plus there were a lot of slimy seaweed and starfish. But it was ok. After that, we washed up and headed to the resort's restaurant for dinner. We decided to play billiards after dinner. At first, Raymund and my dad played. After that, my dad taight Marven how to play, and Raymund taught me. It was hard, and I was very sweaty after that game! But I'm proud of myself. I managed to put some of the balls in! Whew.

My dad and hubby had their drinking session on the balcony when we got back. My mom and my two brothers went to bed, and I watched TV. Too bad I was too sleepy, I decided to go to bed early (10pm). I think Raymund went to bed an hour later.

On our second day, Raymund woke me up with a start when he realized it was already 11am! The suite was empty. We hurriedly dressed and went to the beach. My mom said they were there since 5am. We had lunch brought to our place by the beach. We left at 2pm.

We headed off to Red Ribbon in Batangas City. We bought palabok and cake for my youngest brother's 5th birthday. Marx turned 5 last April 11. That was fun. I'll upload the video soon.
When we got home, my dad left to go to Mindoro. Mom and Marx went to bed early. Raymund and I watched TV, had a late dinner, and put Marven to bed at 10pm. We went back to Manila on Wed after lunch in Gerry's Grill (in SM Batangas).

It was great to be with my family. My brothers are getting so big now. I feel happy that my family has accepted Raymund in my life. Everything has fallen into place. I'm happy.
