Hello world!
I feel like 20 years has passed but in reality, it’s been just a couple of years, months maybe that I have this time for myself.
Just one complete day of absolutely doing nothing other than staring at the sea holding a paper cup that holds my all-time favorite drink-Jack and Coke.
The last time I ever did this was many years ago. To be exact, it was 2009 in the lovely island of Guam where I mostly enjoyed moments like this. Just me, the ocean and Jack.
Fast forward to 2018, 9 years after, 3 daughters and many pounds heavier, I heartily come back to where my soul finds solace. And damn, pardon my language, but it feels surreal and dreamy to be in this side of the world.
A 6-hour drive from my hometown is a hidden paradise called home to most surfing enthusiast. It’s probably a half mile road that collect memories from hundreds of happy feet that comes and goes.
Cali-coan Island in Samar was our destination.
With me were cousins and very close friends who were up for an adventure. But for Mama’s like me, it was my day off.
At times, when the world seems to feel so small because, well, life happened, I find myself wanting to break free. I know that some Mamas out there will understand my thoughts and what my heart is pouring out at the moment. We just need a day or two or three to refresh and get the groove going. We are not just housewives who tidy up things and take care of our children. We are the one that makes the house full of life as we carry the heart of the home. Never think that just because you are a stay at home Mom, you are too small because as a matter of fact, we rule the world, we rule our children’s little world of make believe and magic.
Thank you Dear God for your beautiful creation and all the wonders it has done for us!
xoxo
