We had the most relaxing and refreshing time. We mostly just sat in the balcony of our room and watch as the fishermen fed the tilapias and the birds take a break from flying in the bamboo railings of the lake, drank loads amount of traditional coffee, enjoying the cold weather, roamed around, took pictures, had a short boat ride and learning all about t'boli culture.

What a lovely weekend indeed.

It’s been 10 days since I celebrated my birthday, nothing fancy but I spent my day with lovely people. I woke up with my moms kiss and greetings, but I fell asleep right away cos I stayed up too late the night before. It was the most lovely thing to start a day! I owe it all to my mom, tbh it was her day and not mine. For she was the one who had labor years ago, felt pain, and who gave birth to a lovely awesome beautiful baby girl, moi. So Happy Giving Birth, mom! I love you!

Anyway, the day after my birthday, my love with the help of my 2 best friends surprised me! He even made a video for me, and I was crying while watching it. I really didn’t see it coming nor I had an idea. I can’t explain how happy I am that day. Though he’s miles away, he made to make me feel special and loved!
