Life In A Snapshot

Vacation to me doesn’t necessarily mean out-of-town trips or expensive international trips. It may be a beach getaway or just staying at one of the Toronto hotels errr…local hotels in the city because R&R doesn’t equate with your bank account. For even if you have lots of money in the bank if you doesn’t know the meaning of “rest and recreation”, it’s useless. Hence Ace and I are thinking of spending some time in a hotel for our R&R…just purely rest and recreation. Nothing more, nothing less. This is necessary to prevent burn out and a great way to have quality time away from work concerns.

Wouldn’t it be so nice to try out new experiences (such as this) without worrying about depleting your bank account? Even if we don’t have savings as long as we enjoy is what really matters with us. After all, we cannot turn back the time and experience this when we have kids already. That’s the advantage of not having kids this time, we have all the time for ourselves. For once kids enter the scene, it will be a different story.

Can’t wait for summer! Summer means vacation, beach, outdoors! Did I say vacation and beach? Yes, can’t wait for our planned vacation to…nope, not in riviera maya (wish we could also try the white sand beaches of Riviera Maya). but just somewhere in Visayas. We hope to push that vacation (Lord willing) to give ourselves a break from the monotony of life at work. After the hard work, we deserve to just bum around at the white sand beaches of Bantayan Island and pig out on sumptuous seafood dishes of the island. Yay! We’re so excited!

This year, we are planning for something different on our wedding anniversary. We’ve spent our previous two anniversaries not doing much except for the usual dinner, whole day bonding (Ace took a leave from work), and the previous one was made even more special with our massage and sauna bath treat! This year, it must be different as Ace will be availing of a week-long vacation leave for our anniversary. Yay! So we’re going somewhere! Where? Still undecided. But for sure a trip to one of the best beaches will be included in the list. Obviously, we are lovers of white sand beaches so we’ll be exploring white sand beaches that we have never been before. A beach that is perfect for rest and relaxation and at the same time secluded for us to have our privacy. It must be perfect for destination weddings like the secluded white sand beaches of Riviera Maya so we can have a romantic anniversary photo of ourselves with the sunset or sunrise in the background. So, we’re going to save for that plan. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will push through!
