Life In A Snapshot

I am so behind in my uploading of photos to flickr® and so I am now making uploads like crazy from last month’s photos then I remembered I haven’t blogged about our Sunday getaway at the beach with PILs and Ace’ sister and her hubby.

We spent one Sunday morning at Paradise Island Park and Beach Resort, had our breakfast there and a quick dip at the cool water of the beach. Ace chose to stay in the shade because the melancholic doesn’t want to bother himself having a shower and changing clothes after swimming. So he kept himself busy with our camera and took this photo of a cargo vessel passing by. I wonder what’s inside those container vans. For sure some some are consumables, some are raw materials for something, and more! Probably there’s also boxes of cheap adipex in one of those container vans that will be delivered to the retail stores and health shops. And oh, next time my “balikbayan box” will be in one of those container vans.

This is something that could de-stress me.

Taken here at home after our sumptuous dinner when Ace’ sister and her hubby had a short stay here in Davao. This is one rare opportunity that we get together because Anne and Ian are based in Dumaguete City. The last time we have been together was during our trip in Manila last year. But Mama isn’t there so we aren’t complete then. Hope to be on a short vacation again with them some place else!

Last month we faced another tragic moment in my maternal family’s side. My younger cousin was ambushed in broad daylight while traversing a national highway. It was such a painful loss for the wife and his young kid, for the parents, siblings, and everybody because he’s so young. Had he died older and caused by sickness such as Mesothelioma, it would have been easier to accept. But the death was sudden and the way he was killed was brutal, that I had a hard time accepting. Because of the nature of his job, his one foot is already on the grave. But losing his life not in the battle, armless, helpless, is the most painful thing to accept.
