Its almost the end of school year,well some schools ended their school year already and others are just about to end. That means temporary rest for us mom's,temporary rest in waking up so early,as early as 4 AM or 5 AM,to prepare breakfast and the kids things for school. Most of our children are already expecting as to where they are going to spend their vacation,some goes to the place of their grand parents,some goes abroad and others would prefer going to the beach. But mostly kids just stays at home and enjoy sleeping all they want. They can also rest from making their assignments every night and reading or studying.
I asked my kids if they are excited for their vacation,my older son said yes because it means more play and more TV ( of course I won't tolerate that ),while my daughter said yes because my aunt promised to get her and spend the vacation with them. She loves her tita lola and my cousins,they adore my child and spoil her. Well I was thinking,my type of vacation will be in the beach,with my siblings and their kids and mine enjoying the heat of the son while playing. Or spend it in our province and play volleyball with my friends,it will be so much fun. I wish I'm near Mindanao,it will be easier to go home though.
I miss our place so much,the smell of the sea,the sound of the waves and the morning walk near the sea. Seeing fishermen early in the morning smiling back at you and asking if you would like to get even just half kilo of their fish. From where I came from mostly of our neighbors are fishermen and they're having a hard life but they are so hospitable that whenever you came home they will send you sea foods as a welcoming gift. It is truly heart warming,thinking how hard it is to spend a night in the sea just to catch fishes. I miss the place and the people there,how they welcome you home is really amazing.
Me and my friends spend most of our time eating and playing volleyball in the afternoon. Its a good exercise and it reduces my weight when I became so fat before. Vacation is somewhat being planned by others,a perfect time to escape reality and releases all the stress. I would love to spend it in our province,maybe not this year but hopefully next year I can go home with the kids and we can enjoy the abundance of the sea and play near it. I am not really fond of swimming but I always like the idea of sitting in the sand and watching the sun rise and sun sets. Its a beautiful sight and I won't get tired of that. I don't know how you would like to spend your vacation,but next year I plan to go home to Mindanao and spend it with my kids and my family.
