Hello Hivers 😊 Another day for a new blog! I hope everyone is having a great day 😊
As I age, I'm increasingly aware of the responsibilities of adulting and motherhood. On my birthday last February 16, I focused on gratitude for another year and continued with my usual hustle and enjoyment of life. Unexpectedly, my husband surprised me at school with a small yet precious gesture - a cake and ice cream. His effort touched my heart, especially since he traveled from Compostela to Cebu City just to be with me. Instead of sending him home, I let him stay, and we went home together after school.
As a result, my new colleagues on our floor found out about it, haha. I tried to keep it a secret, but it didn't bother me. Instead, they surprised me with a birthday song and recycled balloons from the Valentine's Day celebration by the students. It was a genuinely fun and heartfelt gesture. Naturally, we took plenty of photos for social media and blogs.
Later, we enjoyed the cake and ice cream together. I was happy to be able to share something with them too. Hehehe. As time passed, we realized we were already full. Since there were still some cake pieces left, I offered them to my students and encouraged them to share with each other. Fortunately, they got to taste it as well.
At the end of the day, we eagerly left and decided to make a brief stop at Carmelite Monastery in Mabolo, Cebu City. The monastery offered a serene and tranquil atmosphere, free from the usual crowds. The church's facade was particularly impressive, adorned with stained glass windows. Inside, the holy ambiance, along with religious replicas, added to the solemnity.
Moving on, we lit candles in the dimly lit area and offered prayers of gratitude and petition. It was a deeply meaningful moment, reminding us of our blessings amidst life's challenges.
As the clock neared 6 in the evening, we anticipated the Friday evening traffic and opted for a relaxed dinner at Mang Inasal in SM Cebu City. It's one of my preferred fast-food chains for its affordability.
We indulged in our meal before satisfying our sweet tooth with a Red Velvet Frappe from Tealive.
With gratitude in my hearts, I am prepared to embark on the next chapter of my journey. Thank you, Almighty Father, for all blessings bestowed upon us.
That’s all for my blog today. My sincerest thanks for taking the time to read and support my blog, until next time. See you!
XOXO ~
