It was one Sunday afternoon in December, since Manila is still GCQ that time, we had the chance to go outside the house along with the kids. Of course by strictly following the health protocols such as using face masks, face shields and maintaining social distancing. We decided to go to MOA by the bay to witness the sunset at the same time stroll in the area.
We arrived at around 4 in the afternoon, as we proceed in the parking area, I could already see some kids along with their family roaming around the area. My kids suddenly got excited as they have never been to this place for a very long time.
We started walking while enjoying the view of the wide Manila bay. Before covid came, we regularly come to this place whenever my husband reports to his agency office.
After a series of walkaton along with my boys, we stopped by to some hotdog store in the area, while my kids have their favourite french fries from potato corner. We sat there while waiting for the sunsets to come. The whole place by the way was full of families who are bonding that time since it was Sunday.
Here comes the sunsets. One of the best sunset is by the sea for me. The wide area of sea gives a full blast of sunset that is beyond fascinating. Almost everyone gathered near the baywalk to captured this beautiful sight. As the sunsets ends night time takes over.
Its started to get dark after the sun sets, we planned to get home already since my feet was already tired and sore from walking for about two hours already. We were on our way home when suddenly people were starting to lined up in the entrance mall together with their kids. We found out kids are allowed to get inside, next thing we knew we were already at the entrance along with my two kids grinning very wide.
My kids like everyone else really missed going inside the mall. They weren’t allowed since the pandemic happens and my kids even said that he missed even the smell of it inside.
Kids really had a good time strolling inside even though my feet were really sore that time. I let them. Just a little sacrifice for kids happiness. This happened once only, since the next week came, the local government had a strict implementation not to allowed kids inside their premises.
I really hope this pandemic ends now, so kids can have the freedom to enjoy even small things like the way they used to.
