Summer!

After five days if staying at home, we decided it's about time we get some sun lovin'.  The past few weeks were all about rain and clouds and dark days.  This time, summer says hello and we hope it's here to stay.

We went to nearby beaches for a good dose of fresh air, golden sun, and warm sand.  Don't be fooled!  The water is still too cold!!!

We just had to do the japan japan thing...

Sun bathers and the hungry birdies

Low tide.  Parang ang sarap ng talaba!

Pohutakawa or the summer tree in full bloom - a sign that summer is here!

Tall ones

I am reminded of totem poles.

Peeping...

Happy summer!

Go, Love!

Flashback to June 8, 2014...

I have been blessed with a passionate husband.  His passion in basketball is not to be questioned or belittled, and it is very evident with his gusto for NBA, UAAP, and the liga back home at their dear Baranggay Espeleta.

I was so happy to see him at his best, playing enthusiastically for his team during the finals.  He ran, played hoops, shouted, defended, rebounded with all his might.  And I, the stage wife, cheered and clapped happily for their team.  

Did they win?  No, but was I happy?  Definitely!  It was an honor and pleasure to see you play happily, my love!

My Girls

Flashback to June 7, 2014...

Had lunch with my beautiful ladies when I went home last June.  It was a good meal at Riche's home.  I finally met Riche's 2 lovely daughters, y and z, and I finally set foot on Riche's lovely abode.

After lunch, we headed to a nearby cafe and had a blast reminiscing and making chika :)

Thankful for friends who defy distance and time.  I've been through a lot with these girls - good, bad, and everything in between.  After college, meet-ups became less frequent as I've also been away from home since 2007.

Every meeting is great with you girls!  Thanks for a lasting friendship!

One Shade of Grey

After our Boxing Day date yesterday, I had a glimpse of my first gray hair.  I was waiting for this day to come!  A grand announcement of my old age!

Thoughts?  Growing old... Maturing... Getting wiser, hopefully!  I've been alive for a third of a century or a little more than three decades, and I've been tremendously blessed all throughout.

What's next?  Well, more gray hair, of course!  And more fun in the midst of the wonderful signs of aging process!  Happy aging!
