Early morning i'm the first one who wake up , i want to take some shot's to them while sleeping, and i did.

My son remind me before he sleep to alarm early because they want to swim again. They take coffee first and eat sandwich before they back to pool, and around 8am they back saying "mi gutom nako", so he by himself go to restaurant and buy for take out burger and spag with chicken, then back to room and ate with her sister.

Then time to enjoy the beach .

A Canyon Cove Get-Away (Day 1)

May 28 , 2013
Nasugbu, Batangas

A celebration for my 32nd birthday on earth here in Canyon Cove , late post due to my busy schedules.

We get voucher from Metro Deal for 2 with 2 kids free for P2999, this deal is perfect for us.2 days and 1 night without food, just for resort and accomodation. We arrived at Nasugbu around 2pm,our check in time is 3pm (till next day at 1pm) but it's ok to them to used their facilities such as pool etc. While waiting in lobby for our room, kids go down and start to swim. Both of them are really excited when they see the view of resort and beach.

It was raining when we arrive, but my kids say's it was much fun to swim while raining unlike with heat of sunlight. So they don't waste time.

Room 205 , where we stay . We are satisfied in this room 2 big beds and 1 extra for window sight seeing.

Let me tour you what inside the room.

Afternoon scene . We join the kids . Since i love photography i'm waiting to the sunset .I don't want to miss this shot and i'm success .

After they enjoy swimming , they change for dinner . I'd talked with Ry my husband what the best for this dinner.

Upon reviews foods here in pricey , so we plan first to go outside and have dinner to Nasugbu Town proper but...in the end we decide to stay since cost will be same , when we go out we will pay again a tricycle ride to town.

Nothing's special , like an ordinary meal. But's ok for us.

Night on our room > Kwentuhan , tawanan , kulitan , watch TV , and pictures

But when Tatay sleep, kids want to surf before go to bed , we go to lobby since wi-fi access is there, after playing online games, we back to our room.

End of Day 1 .... day 2 on my next post.

Jules my Son "Graduate"

Banlic Elementary School

A common great feeling being parent when you saw your child step on the stage and accepting their certificate as "Graduate"

This is what I felt when I accompanied , facing their principal and guest speaker on their graduation day .

When I'm sitting on a parents area , running on my mind  ... "this is just a first step"

Grade 7 on next school year ... up to Grade 12 to finish the highschool part , this is not as easy as thinking.

But being a parent , a responsibility , until in college degree.

Just hoping my Jules will understand to face life , to focus on his studies , for him to have a good future .

Congratulations Son !!!!

Jump-off :  Sitio Bayabasan, Brgy. Aga, Nasugbu
LLA: 14.1158° N; 120.7577° N; 630 MASL

Sorry for this very late post . I have have many pending stories, then now i start again .
This hike was happen last November 2012 , with my friends (moms like me) , my co-INC choirs.
My sista's Sherlyn , Janet , Rubinia and her daughter Jerivy (a 13 year old girl)
I just want a chillax hike that's why i choose this mountain located @ Nasugbu ,a minor hike, and i invited them lucky because they are also interested.

At jump-off we register first, write down our names to log-book and paid P20

To reach the summit it takes 2 to 3 hrs depends on your steps.We start 11am then maybe 2:30 to 3pm were @ summit.

We cross first in this bamboo bridge then after on cemented bridge .

A man who wore a green shirt is our guide, you a choice if you don't want to have a guide but our group choose to have just for assurance because we are all girls .

Meet bruce - a cute friendly dog that alway's on our back following us till the top of mountain , he is dog in a jump-off.
Enyoying the beauty of nature , more pictures below.

I just really smile when i saw sistah Janet with umbrella "so fashionista in hike"

Some farm animals we saw while on a trail.

 Because of daily hectic sched and the night before the hike not so sleep , i feel bad.
That shot was taken by them their in summit , i left a distance to them because i not really feel good.I don't want to push my self , just avoiding bad things maybe happen because my legs don't have enough strenght, that's why i rest first.

then after i rest i'm so blessed i do follow them .

Congratulations to Me , Congratulations to us !!!! Finally we did it !!!! Hurray !!!!

after a lot of shots , time to descend with a smile ...... now its time to splash :)

We realy appreciated this river after hike , a splash that make us feel fresh,
Even the water is from mountain , not too cold like Majayjay . We stay i think an hour its 5pm.

Prepare back to Laguna, a last shot after we dressed up .

Mc. Donalds, Tagaytay our last stop , we take dinner and chat over and over .
This is really a fun , memorable bonding of moms . Hope we'll have a take 2 .
