Hello there, Hive community! It's been a while. I just miss you all. It's been so long since I last posted here but I'm here again to publish my recent whereabouts especially how I spend my Christmas! How did you spend yours, by the way?
I will share how I spent my Christmas lately. I'm giving you a hint by sharing this photo:
Christmas will never be the same anymore 💔
So I'm gonna start with how we spend our Christmas usually. We usually spend our Christmas at my grandparents' house. But if you guys have been following me, you must be aware that we lost our grandmother just a month ago. The glue of the family is no longer with us anymore. 💔
But even so, the family's tradition kept going. I don't know how it will be but I really hope it will for a long time. We enjoyed each other's company during Christmas Eve. Our grandparents must be so happy seeing us together in an important event of the year.
Two babies were also added in the family! Yieee, we welcomed Z and Iston last June and August this year. Such a cutie!
So after we had our Noche Buena, we gathered in the living room and opened our gifts. It was very fun! And of course, what we most anticipated was our travel to the beach!
In the morning, we got everything prepared and departed at around 11:30 am. We just took our snacks on the road so we wouldn't have to consume our time eating our meals and stop by a location. It took us 4 hours to get there.
Villa Arcadia Beach Resort in Talisayan, Misamis Oriental
We had a very anxious trip because throughout the ride, it was heavily raining and we were pretty sure it's gonna be a rainy stay on the beach. God guided us throughout and we got there safely. We finally arrived!
But even when it was raining all day, our cousins still chose to enjoy the sea. Maximizing every moment with the beach regardless of the weather. I didn't go with them because it was very cold, I couldn't even feel my hands because I was shivering the whole time.
Then again, we still chose to enjoy our time there. My cousins hosted an event in the evening and it was really fun! All of us participated and I even won a cash prize and a comforter! The next morning, we thanked God for having a very good weather. The sky was so clear and it was just perfect to seize every moment with the sea.
Look how beautiful the sea is! In hours, it went as majestic as that. I gotta commend myself for taking a photo of these. Notice the difference but both of them shine and have a story to tell.
To be honest, we struggled to find the right spot to take a bath in the sea because it was low tide, it was very rocky, it had lots of coral reefs but! I can see various, colorful types of fishes while wandering through the vicinity. I didn't get to enjoy the bathing experience itself but the view itself was more than enough for me.
Some Photos to share!
I gotta give credit to my younger sister for taking these photos of me. She made me look like I'm 5'5 tall. 😂
Overall, it was really a great experience. It was actually our 2nd time already to visit the beach and they developed the resort even more. Kudos to their maintenance team!
So that's it! Our Christmas may never be the same anymore but the OGs must be so happy seeing us from heaven enjoying our time together.
Merry Christmas everyone!
What about you, how did you spend your Christmas?
