Happy May, Everyone! I was gone most, if not, all of April. I had to get away to: celebrate my mom's birthday, renew and rejuvenate my spirit, and most of all to spend time with loved ones. With careful planning, my time with loved ones was well-spent! During this trip to the Philippines: I celebrated my mom's 80th birthday, went to a Batangas beach resort for 2 days for a much needed and long overdue rest and relaxation, had mommy and me time with my son (we went shopping) at Greenhills, Metro Manila. I also enjoyed the Holy Week Festivities (including Bisita Iglesia, Stations of the Cross, and night procession on Good Friday) and I spent the rest of my time with loved ones.
After the Philippines, I continued my bonding time with my son in Hawaii. I enjoyed this trip more than my first time in Hawaii because I was able to do more – thanks to my son's careful planning. This time around in Hawaii, I visited the USS Arizona/USS Missouri Memorial - WELL, WORTH THE TIME and such a humbling experience. My son also took me to his work and that made me a proud Navy mama even more! He also took me shopping at the Navy Exchange so I can re-stock on my Navy gear. I also had the local experience of dining at the shrimp trucks and eating shaved iced in North Shore. Then, I ended the trip with an all-you-can-eat crab legs and prime rib brunch with my kid. Life is great.
I’ve included a few pix from my trip in the slideshow below. Till next time, I bid you all love, light and compassion.
