Family Bonding Part 2

The other day Sky, Ash and I went to the beach for surfing and scuba diving. Then yesterday we went to Baler Adventure Tour, Culayan Falls and Ditumbao Falls.

We went to Mother Falls in Ditumbao. It was really really good kailangan niyong maglakad para makarating sa Mother Falls. Mabato yung daan and medyo madulas but it's worth it! The water is so cold and it's relaxing and refreshing!

"Skylar can you please lend me my towel? I forgot it in my bed, thanks!" sigaw ko kay Skylar dahil tapos na akong maligo.

"I'll leave it in the door just get it" pagkakuha ko ay dali dali akong nagpunas and I wear my undies and my white dress.

Mom said we will be going to the Church today and after that ay mamamasyal kami saka bibili ng pasalubongs then we will go home.

I was very excited!! I love going to church I never visited. Our lola once said na pwede ka raw magwish doon sa mga simbahan na first time mong mapupuntahan.

I was wearing my gladiator sandals. Wala siyang heels and hindi mataas yung tali niya. Then I put some blush on, liptint and my baby powder! I also sprayed some perfume then I brush my hair. Habang naglalagay ako ng alcohol ay saktong lumabas naman si Skylar wearing his white shoes and dark gray shorts with polo and a sando inside it. He left his polo opened and his hair is fixed.

"Excited to go home huh?" pang aasar ko sa kanya.

"Of course I'll buy many pasalubongs for Luna and her family" masiglang sabi ng loko. Hahaha. Nagpapalakas ata.

We brought our things and put it in the car. We saw dad and mom there busy fixing the things at the back para mamaya may space sa lalagyan ng pasalubongs.

"Uh Sky can I?" saka ako humiga sa balikat niya. Inaantok pa ako and I can still feel the tiredness on my body.

He patted his shoulder and I fell asleep. Nagising na lang ako na may tumatapik sa pisngi ko. I saw Skylar waking me up.

"We're here! You should bring your cam so you will have a remembrance with this place" masiglang sabi niya saka sabay kaming bumaba.

Naglalakad lakad kami and we also attended the mass. The church looks crisp and clean on the outside, it is painted with soft minty green, and is nicely painted and decorated on the inside with an intricate altar. I went to the candle station and then bumili ako at nagsindi.

I gently close my eyes and say a little prayer. "Sana ay magkaron ako ng stronger, longer and healthier life" I whispered to myself. Yeah I still have the same wish like before.

After I made a wish I felt someone touch me. Then I opened my eyes and saw the love of my life smiling widely while looking at me. I smiled back at him and kiss him on the top of his nose.

"I missed you Ash" bulong ko sa kanya at bigla naman niya akong niyakap.

"I miss you more Love, how are you?" he asked sweetly and then kissed me.

"Im good ramdam ko pa rin na pagod ako" I softly said to him and he intertwined our fingers.

"You should take a rest when we go home" he answered back and tinanguan at nginitian ko na lang siya as an answer.

Pagkatapos naming mag picture don sa church ay dumiretso na kami sa Dona Aurora Aragon Quezon House. It is just a re-built replica and it is located in the corner of San Luis St and Rizal St. wherein it is right infront of the church.

Our next stop is Museo de Baler. I take some pictures and I can say that it is represented with photographs of provincial leaders as well as President Quezon and his family, as well as photos from the Japanese, Spanish, and American periods of Baler's history.
