Celebrate joy!

Food, food and food! Here are some places you need to try as you get your foodie fix on in this island :) Hungry Surfer For this trip, we stayed at Bay's Inn which is just a stone's throw away from the beach. Last time we stayed at Mahdox Backdoor, and while I personally prefer the latter as far as accommodation is concerned, the former has its own 24 hour restaurant, the Hungry Surfer, making it one of the most convenient places to stay at in Baler. Imagine, drinking your coffee with the sunrise as your view.... yeah, this is the life.

If our day 1 consisted of a full-blown tour of Baler, day 2 was focused on 1 thing: surfing.

How’s your holy week? Off somewhere with white sand, seas and breeze? Today is the perfect beach weather,  isn't  it? But wherever you may be, or whatever you may be up to this long weekend, may it be a reflection on how good God is. :) As for me and my fam, we're just staycation-ing here in Manila. So with all these free time, I’m trying to be as productive as possible– so while my mom and sister hold up old pieces of clothing to give away, I’m sitting on the bed, resolved to catch up on my blog backlogs. Let’s be friends again? Help me out and forgive me for not posting sooner? You have to forgive me, it’s the HOLY week! :D Okay, okay, here it goes! First off, the Baler trip last month!

Woke up to this quote and just had to share -- don't you agree? :)

"You know I believe friendship is God’s greatest evidence of himself here on earth.  You know I believe everyone needs a home team: a go-to, show-up, middle of the night, come-in-without-knocking tribe that gets us through when things fall apart. You know I believe in circling the wagons—gathering your people around you to tell you the truth when all the voices out there are shouting bad news. And you know, of course, that I believe all this love and truth-telling and prayer and laughter happens best around the table." - Shauna Niequist, Why I love Thursday Nights Upon reading those words, I just wanted to quickly  cross post it on FB to holler to my Thursday group as if to say "thank you guys, this is exactly how I feel about Thursdays!" :)
