Stargazing With Three Little Ladies

First of all, I currently live in Zamboanga City which is a small city here in the Philippines and brown out is quite on trend right now, I guess because we are already on a vacation season and Zamcelco thought everyone is enjoying their vacay out of the town. But no Zamcelco, you're wrong. Lol no jk, they said it was because we are only given a limited megawatts which they are trying to earn for the season of school, so therefore the schools here in Zambo won't be having brown outs during the whole school year. But the thing is, during our stargazing, Zamcelco temporarily cut off our electricity. So we decided to go out for stargazing to cheer ourselves up from the mess of brown out. After all, it was worth it, since stars are so unbelievably beautiful (almost choked while writing the previous statement because I just love stars so much). Chilly night and staring at the sky full of sparkling stars would be the most relaxing thing I'd always wanted to do. And always will. It was so fun since there are kids and we were just laying down on an enormous carton sharing stories and capturing photos. Plus the very naughty Peepot (the youngest girl). 

This is a moment that I don't want to forget. It's just so wonderful to let go of so I've decided to blog it for documentation. Go stargazing with anyone, it would be the best feeling ever, trust me. But just a friendly advice, do it with someone/people you love. It would mean everything to you, as it meant everything to me. I hope though someday, we'll do this as a complete family. We just have to appreciate small moments.

Nonswimmer In A Pool & Kiddos In The Playground

Mama and Papa arrived here in Zamboanga last May 7, and Papa decided that it'll be fun if we go on a picnic because he'll be here in Zambo for 3 days. And he would like to enjoy his stay in. Who are we to say no, right? So we went to Lutong Pinoy, a private resort which has an enormous pool that we can enjoy by renting a cottage. It also has hotel which tourist can check in, and enjoy the pool as well. There were two pools, for children that was 3ft from the ground and for adults, 5ft from the ground. You might wonder why 5ft? It's kinda short aye. It was because for the safety of everyone so no one will eventually drown. It was a good idea, gotta have to admit. 
We actually got to the pool to swim around 10am, you won't gonna believe this, but no one was there, so it was our opportunity to enjoy the pool just for ourselves. With all honesty, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM, my sister Fhar and Amina quite know how since they were practicing during that time, and I can't because basically I'm terrified and I don't know how to float haha so. So we went out of the pool to eat lunch around 12-1PM. There were so many foods (Alhamdulillah), and I only fancy spaghetti. I didn't ate properly during that time, because I've been losing my appetite, don't ask coz I also do not know why.
After that, we rinse off in the shower room, and rest for a while. Then we decided to go to the playground which has seesaw and swings and beautiful view. And there was also a zip line ride but unfortunately no one was guarding it. I really do wanna try zip lining some day. I think it's terrifying but so much fun. In the future, hopefully.
Then we went home and felt so so tired, plus we got tanned. Which was ugly but at some point, I did like it. But most of the time, I don't like it, so I did everything to get my complexion back, and I think I already did. After all, it was such a fun day with the family, having so much laugh and foods and smiles. How overwhelmingly blessed am I to have a big family. I've never been better and positive my entire life. I really do appreciate their presences. Thank God.
