A Day At Sea

December 13, 2021

Hello everyone. It's good to be back. It's been five long days that I haven't checked and read in this platform. I didn't know what happened to me these past five days. I was so demotivated, dispirited, frustrated and my brain was in haywire. Even up to this moment of writing, I still don't understand myself. I feel lonely without even knowing the reason. I want to sleep but I can't so I forced myself to write for me to be productive. I need to earn for the upcoming holidays but my body is in the opposite direction. I always feel tired even though I am not doing much. I am really having trouble in understanding myself right now. Even so, I should compel myself to be active here again to bring my right track back. I need to hustle if I want to have something for Christmas and gifts for my nephews.

Yesterday, I woke up with a heavy heart in an unknown reason. As usual, I tended my daughter and do our daily routines. After I bathed my daughter, my partner's mother told us that Mama Iseng (my partner's grandmother), wanted to have a weekend short break in the beach. It was already past 10 in the morning and some of the family members were in the church. So, they decided to go first and they will just follow after the mass. Since we only have two vehicles available, my partner and I decided to let his mother bring our daughter with her and we will just follow together with his uncle's family. It's almost 12 in the afternoon when we set forth towards the beach. It took us more than an hour to arrive the venue. I was worried for my daughter for she already passed her feeding time. When we arrived at the beach, my partner realized that he accidentally left the water for our daughter's milk outside our house. We opted to buy water at the nearest store but unfortunately they don't have distilled water. We ended up buying a mineral one but our daughter didn't like. I was already worried. We just let her eat food and thank goodness she liked the taste of the lechon manok ( roasted chicken ).

Though the trip was unplanned, we still managed to prepare some delicious foods. We had buttered shrimps (which is my favorite), three roasted chickens, grilled fish, ceviche, some fruits, soft drinks and junk foods. Kudos to the aunts and uncles of my partner.

After enjoying our food, we then enjoy the coldness of the seawater. It was cold for the reason that it was also raining. We relished both the rain and sea. Our daughter also liked swimming with the floater that I bought for her few months ago. She enjoyed playing and tasting the saltiness of the sea. She was amazed by the waves too. We just had a little time for swimming for we felt cold already because of the weather. Their water for rinsing was also like a block of ice. The weather was really playful because when we finished changing our dry clothes the sun appeared.

The photo above was captured by yours truly. I was amazed by the view so I took some shots even though I am not good in capturing things and views. The sun appeared like a cue to rid the coldness that we felt during swimming. We really enjoyed the sun so we strolled to the neighbor beach resort. There were many people enjoying their time at the beach like us. The place was safe for it requires vaccination card before entering the resort.

We went home at 4:30 in the afternoon. The weather was still fine the moment we set home. But when we arrived at the city, the rain fell very hard. The vehicle that we ride on has no roof at the back. Hence, we, who was at the back were soaking wet and was so cold. We tried to cover ourselves with our towels but it was no use for the rain didn't stop immediately. We had no choice but to bath for the second time and just enjoy the rain. We endured the cold and just talk funny topics to divert our mind from the cold. I was relieved on the other side because I was sure that my daughter was safe because we let my partner's mother bring her on the other car. Their car is close so they are safe from the rain.

We arrived home safe and exhausted. Yet, we still enjoyed our quick and unplanned beach break.
