It’s been 2 weeks since we went to Aklan, we were rejuvenated after that vacation but with the holiday rush in Manila, stress starts to build up again. More workloads, more traffic, more people in the malls and groceries, less parking spaces, less time to mingle, etc…
I miss the rural life where time feels so slow (I didn’t wear a watch during our vacay), fresh air, waves from the ocean (my aunt’s beachfront house), vibrant colors from the garden, and the secure feeling in the province (no holdapers, pickpockets, snatchers, etc…).
Gwen really enjoyed her mini-vacay too, I’m sure! Aside from her Boracay trick-or-treating, just their simple bonding moments with her Daddy is priceless. When you’re on vacation, who needs toys anyway? When you have the whole surroundings as your playground….
First time to play in the sand
swimming for the 3rd time
We don't mind making her sit on those stones... Gwen immediately adapted and played with the stones.
An early botany lecture about seaweeds
She tapped the coconut as if it's a drum.
Jeff is the one who is very eager to encourage her to be in the outdoors this early, he said that being outdoors helps create a sense of wonder in her.
If only we can afford to leave our jobs here and just enjoy a laidback life…

i love this post. may similarities sina Jef and Alex. talagang pinipilit ako lagi lumabas or camp. it’s winter already. it’s here too soon… we’ll be missing the outdoors. at the moment, panoorin ko muna mga adventures ni Gwen, hehe…
