Over the Weekend

Hi everyone!

How was your weekend?

Mine was uneventful. A little tiring but I’m still thankful it was uneventful.

You see, it was my maternal cousin’s birthday last Friday and they celebrated it at a quite popular resort here in Davao (Pearl Farm). We were all invited to come but my dad could barely get out of bed due to heavy medications and I had to work (no holiday for remote workers hehe).

I pray I can go to the beach, too…

My mum was going to turn down the invitation but my dad insisted we go. I told him I’d stay behind (and, by extension, Yuri) with him to be his nurse. And the rest was history. I was working on a holiday with a restless preschooler, and for the entire weekend, ran the household and tried not to get confused with what medicines my father needed to take at a specific time.

I couldn’t stand blood but sometimes I wish I took up nursing! Haha just kidding.

I also ended up filling up every possible container at home with water because there was an advisory of water interruption for 3 days. I guess I had an adrenaline rush (read: panic) because I easily filled up around 15 large Tupprrwares and Rubbermaids, 3 empty gallons of water, and a huge Orocan drum.

Guess what. We never lost our water. Oh well!

Anyway, we tried to have some fun at home by creating (and eating) the last of Yuri’s Minion mamon(s).

Meanwhile, my mum and sister enjoyed the weekend in Pearl Farm:

Looking at all of their photos from the trip, I decided to research and look for another beach resort to stay overnight in. Villa Amparo? Secdea? Now I know that a hot “rainy” season must be good for at least one thing!

PS:

Did you notice my new theme? I couldn’t resist and bought it from a designer on Etsy. I’ll write about it, along with my host provider, soon!
