There is nothing more exciting than receiving a birthday invitation. It shows that the host of the celebration values your presence and wants to celebrate with you. It also shows that the host think of you specifically, it's a simple gesture of friendship and acknowledging this appreciation can make you feel valued and included.
Last Sunday, I received an invitation from one of our neighbors. It was his son's birthday and will be celebrated in Muabog shoreline. So I gathered my kids and my other companions and waited for our ride.
We don't have our own motorcycle or car, so we are going to hitch a ride to the venue. So we walk to the house of one of the invitees for a free ride.
When we reached Ate Nadeth's house, she was still packing up her things and not yet ready to leave. So my kids and their cousin play basketball that was located in the frontyard of Ate Nadeth's house.
This is Ate Nadeth's car.
When she done packing her things, we gathered ourselves and rode on the back of her Estrada.
We started our travel, with my friend so happy for the free ride and my son feeling nervous 🤣.
We have to stop because the driver need to buy something for his vices.So boss Joan got out of the car and bought it for him.
As we continue our travel, everyone at the back taking pictures of the beautiful views along the way.
Me too taking some pictures, I can't help but capture the beauty and serenity of our mother nature that offer our eyes. If only my eyes were a camera, that would capture everything in just a glimpse, I would share it with you.
We are almost near the known TCM,
And finally pass TCM, how beautiful the view there when it is daytime, just that your problem is the heat from the sun.
I stopped taking pictures along the way because my nephew is not feeling well because he is not used to travelling. He felt dizzy and liked to vomit.
As we reached the town of Tabogon, we all knew that it was near the shoreline, we can see the sea near the road.
This made the kids so happy, because we are leaving uptown,so we seldomly go to beaches, and by just seeing the sea at a distance, make them cry of happiness.
At last , we reached our destination, finally at Muabog.
This is the view of the beach from the road. What a wholesome view.
The beach is a little distance from the road so we have to walk down there. Unpacking our things, gathering,and dividing all our things for everyone to have something to carry.
After 3 minutes of walking we finally came down to the beach.
Before heading to the cottage that they rented, we take a look at this stone that looks like a plate.
Then I see these people who used the umbrella as a canopy from the heat of the sun, they will not have to pay for the cottage.
We continue to head off to the cottage that they rented.
We approached the cottage,settled ourselves and rested for awhile.
Boss Joan prepares the foldable chair so that those people who will not be accommodated by the cottage has still something to sit on with.
I was busy helping them prepare the foods, and I was startled about the whereabouts of my kids and nephew. Im afraid they will get drown if I let them unattended, because they don't know how to swim. I leave whatever I'm doing and come look after them. There they are swimming in the water along with the other kids.
Other parents also look after their children, they know it's hot but they are more afraid of their welfare.
Ate Nadeth's and Pare sought shade under the cottage. Ate Nadeth was Loong after her grandchild and Pare look after my Nephew and I looked after my kids.
And the children we look after have so much fun getting some seashells that stick inside the holes in this big stone.
Fishermen pass by starting their day to catch fish.
Then I saw this boy playing in the sand.
Some bigger children climbed on the top of this plate looking rock formation and jumped in the water.
The smaller ones settles at the shallow water and swam till their heart contents.
Ate Nadeth can't help herself but get a piece of wood because her grandchild don't listen to her words anymore. But she have no intention of hitting her grandchild,she just wants to threaten her so she wil listen.
I headed back to the cottage because the heat coming from the sun was so unbearable, I felt like I was fried in the oven. And I came to these people so busy preparing.
I help them get some dried woods so that we can use it as our charcoal for our grilled chicken.
How clear the water is at this beach, it's just that there is lots of garbage in the seashore. I strongly believe that town officials must do something to make this beach clean, since it's a public beach. Lots of people went here because there was no entrance fee and the views here were so beautiful. And all visitors must be cautious about throwing their garbages their. There should be a bring home your garbage signage must be put.
All the children were called to sing a happy birthday and witness the celebrant blow his birthday cake.
They prepared a quite a lot of food.
I forgot to take a picture while everyone was eating because I am so hungry , I have no breakfast. This is what we left over after we were done eating.
Others are still eating in the not yet finished cottage.
When the children are done eating,they swim again in the water. They seems like they are not tired swimming under the heat of the sun, making the most of the day.
Ate Nadeth has not yet had a swim because she was waiting until 2 in the afternoon passes because of her swertres business. She bring along her work at the beach.
Kuya Russel handed me this cold drink.
When I'm almost half of my smirnoff, my daughter asked me to guard her findings and warn me not to let anybody take even one.
I burst into laughter upon noticing that her findings included a broken glass.
The parents of the celebrant gathered the children because some candies would fall off the bag that his son was going to pull.
The ladies have a bathed under the shade of this big rock. Honestly speaking the heat from the sun can really cause dizziness but the kids don't mind it.
When the sun is not too hot, everyone is getting on the water , grouping themselves.
Some of the teenagers get out of the water because they get hungry of swimming for hours.They eat some of the left overs,while i chill in the corner eating some nearly ripe mango with hipon. Others were just sightseeing and talking with their peers.
This little girl showed me her fish that she caught and play with it .
I will end my blog here because I encounter error 500, and I'll create the part 2 of our adventures going home. See you on my next blog😃
