May your coffee be strong, and your day be beautiful! Good day, Hives! It's me again, Ace26, your Gwapo (handsome) blogger from the Philippines.
Today I will be sharing our last year's first family reunion and first family beach vacation, Yes you heard it right for how many years that we have been together in one residence we can manage to have a vacation together with the clan.
I and my family usually do a beach vacation maybe because we have a motorcycle but for my entire clan it was possible due to finances, Car rental since we are about 22 persons in our family so we needed to rent a jeepney (Filipino transportation) or a Grandia van just to make that happened.
But today I will be going to experience to my family what beach is, the white sand and clear blue sea I wanted them to experience what I experienced when I was on a beach vacation.
Early in the morning, I woke up to the noise of people outside of our kubo (a small house ) everyone was busy doing, some were packing things since our call time was around 5 o'clock so that we could enjoy the beach more since we were going home the afternoon.
While we were on our way to Moalboal since Moalboal was the nearest beach in our city and has beautiful white sand, after a long drive we stopped in one of the cities on the way to Moalboal I think it was the City of Ronda If I wasn't mistaken.
We stopped first so that some of our relatives could stretch their backs and take a bathroom, while waiting for everyone I took a photo of my family to save in our memory bank.
I see how excited they are, the faces of happiness I was surely successful in my plan for our beach family reunion because I already see the happiness on their faces even though we haven't arrived yet at the Moalboal.
After that picture taking we decided to go on so that we could arrive early, but when we arrived in Dumanjug city this is the city before Moalboal and after a few minutes we could reach the beach but sadly our vehicle broke.
Gladly the driver knew how to fix the vehicle and we were lucky enough because used a few steps from where our vehicle was at a vulcanizing shop but took it along before it was fixed. So I decided that we would go first together with my wife to pay for the entrance to the Moalboal tourism office for our safety, and you needed to the ticket from the Tourism Office to be able to enter the Moalboal beach.
After that I went to the beach to settle for our cottage then I decided that I would get them one by one since I had my motorcycle with me but I was shocked because, after a few minutes, they had already arrived at the cottage, they said that they left the driver and his vehicle and ride a bus and tricycle.
They were laughing the whole time while telling me their experienced, I was truly amazed at how they coped with that situation even though they were stressed and pissed off that time but thank God they managed it.
After that, we prepared our food and I cleaned the fish and grilled it, After that I let the kids enjoy the beach they swam all day even my son got a sunburn that time, he even got up on the sea her mother also fed him on the shore.
While cooking for our fish since some of our food was already cooked, I noticed my son and some of his cousins running towards me to ask me to buy them icecream, So I bought Icecream, and after they got the icecream they ran again towards the water the kids enjoy this vacation hopefully we can do this again.
Since my mother and my sister were here in Cebu for vacation we took a photo for our memory bank before their flight to Manila on that same day, this day was so memorable since my sister is not always here in Cebu due to family and her work, my mother was always here in Cebu.
last year my mother printed a family reunion t-shirt, we were all shocked when she pulled out her bag full of t-shirt all around that big bag was full of t-shirts because she wanted us to put them on our family picture but we all laughed out loud because she was carrying it to Naga City to Moalboal City and she doesn't even distribute it awhile ago so that she won't carry it she just said that she forgot and we laughed again.
After that long day, we went home while we were on the jeepney, my son was complaining of something on his skin, he said that it was super itchy, and when I looked at it I saw small red patches on his skin.
When I looked at the picture that I had taken I zoom those pictures I saw some jellyfish we just thought it was sea trash but it was jellyfish all along. I also forgot that June was a month of jellyfish, Gladly my wife brought ointment then my son cooled down and slept.
On what happened on that day from our vehicle that got broke, our son and some of my nephews that got by a jellyfish, we succeeded on the vacation that we wanted, we enjoyed, we laughed and together we fixed some circumstances that we can't control as long we are together nothing we can't fix that's was family is.
