Up North

 After 10 years in Mindanao, our family moved back to Luzon, but this time way up north. 

We get to enjoy nature from the sea... to the mountains. 

The skies are clear, beautiful living palettes. Ever changing, but inspiring. 

I love that they are all free. 

We chase sunrises, we chase sunsets, we chase the moon.

We left the life that we used to live, the animals that we used to feed (I miss you), and the home that we had built.

 

Surprise, surprise. 

But I'm glad my kids get to collect many childhood memories with nature despite our difficulty building our lives again.

Saturday is a special day

Saturday means fun! It means husband does the cooking (special). Then we do little laundry, and go for an afternoon walk. Yes, it's fun. It's more fun when we're together.

On Saturday:

I always do the laundry outside, where my daughter is restricted, but not this time.

While daughter was playing with bubbles, husband was cooking. I pleaded to have squid even though I'm quite allergic to it. We bought some early morning (1/4 kilo = P40). And it tasted really good!

Playing with bubbles is a good sensory play for toddlers. She was engrossed with it. Not only that, a good imaginative play for her. She might have thought she was really washing her clothes :)

And she knew just how to use the laundry brush. Good for her, it took me almost 20 years before actually using one.

I can't wait for our family fun this Saturday, which extends until Monday. It's Eidul Adha, a holiday for us.
