Fam-bam Moments (WE97)

in #hive-1688693 years ago

They drove away in an exciting tone along with a couple of things on their bag - towels, swimwear, some nitty-gritty stuff. They then picked up 3 young neighbors and sped off. Whilst on a bridge downtown, something flavorful caught their noses which they tried to ignore and continued driving. But they couldn't shake it off so they U-turned and headed back towards the bridge.

"Hahaha, you couldn't let it go noh?" she teased her husband. They spent about 15 minutes savoring the aroma coming from the traditional machine being manned by Manong Jun who is making sure the chicken won't toast. "Lechon Manok" they are called, BBQ chicken, kinda.



While waiting, she went snooping around taking photos and she was even teased that she might make money out of the pictures which she proudly admitted saying they would be in it too because their place is going to be advertised for free on the blockchain and people around the world would see. Manong Jun's smile was priceless! LOL!

Anyway, after getting their orders packed, they went on their way. Arriving at 10:30 am, the little ones ran hugging her as their eyes lit up. Her heart melted. Her brother's boys were there too, enjoying canned beers, grilled fish, hotdogs and deep-fried meat and squid balls as their "pulutan" (side dish). Feeling famished, she jokingly said, "you have all been waiting so shall we eat?" Haha!

They did... and she admired her brother for everything there was on their table. She felt guilty that she forgot about her niece's birthday. How could she? But the little girl was forgiving and excitedly shared moments with her as they enjoyed the sumptuous dishes which the girl's loving papa prepared for them. He shared he slept at midnight after cooking and packing them all. Poor brother, huh! She prayed in her heart the Heavens would pour more love, patience and blessings unto him.

Such times always give her bliss and joy. She felt so rich beyond any material things could measure up to. Looking around and seeing everyone having fun, laughing, teasing each other, having little chitchats in between... She wants more of those moments and she was just glad the time seems to have slowed down that day but then late afternoon came and they have to pack their things and get going.

Glimpse of the pools and her starting to braid her niece's hair



The birthday gal was all smiles thanking her papa of the great day she had on the pools. "Pa, can we please have a mini-pool at the house so we could swim everyday?" She overheard her niece asking her father as they walked towards their car. "I will need to work for some years before we can have one and you will be a lady by then," the father teased. "Oh..." she mumbled and walked ahead.

"It would be cool to have one in the compound," she suggested to her brother, pertaining to the mini-pool. "Yep, just that it takes space" the brother replied. "How about an inflatable one?" she continued. He said he tried to find one around town but there was none so he will need to go to the city or find one online. She smiled knowing that her brother will buy one soon. The two girls would be pleased 'coz they enjoy swimming. It was sort of a family tradition to drive away to the beach or any resort several times a year which unfortunately came to a halt due to the pandemic. But they're getting it back for sure!



They bade goodbye somewhere along the way for her brother, his boys and the girls turned right and they took the left. Her heart was content and looking forward to the next time they'd meet and enjoy some more blissful moments...

She went to bed that night happy, grateful and loved after getting a relaxing whole body massage from her ever-loving partner in life...


This is my entry to this weekend's engagement prompt re:

Unwinding How do you unwind after a hectic day at work? Meditation, a hobby, reading, listening to music, cooking, yoga, gaming, an intimate interlude? Tell us how you relax and unwind and why you feel that method is the most beneficial to you.



I actually have simple ways to unwind like a short walk or simply going for an ice cream or a day out with the husband, but yesterday came right on time just when I really needed something more. It was an absolutely blissful experience to have created memories with those who truly matter.

Thank you, Happy Weekend and Happy Easter!

I would love to be in that pool. Such a perfect kind of day.

The sun was scorching hot yesterday and the water too as it came from a hotspring. Although one pool had cold water on it.

I'm sure you didn't mind the heat or maybe a little bit :)

I stayed in the shade, lol! I have allergies with sun rays kaya d ako masyadong nagbabad hehe

Ah, right. I think you've mentioned that in read or noise? Speaking of sun, got sun burnt a while ago too. Kasla ak naka gloves haha! Good thing I wore long sleeves.

Yes, in Read. It's difficult to get rid of sun burns nowadays. Halla ka😂

Nyahaha! Dbale ket hands lang.

Sabagay ketdi, lotion lotion lng hehe. Basta han nagatel

Spending time with those we care about and making happy memories is the best way to relax and forget the stresses of everyday life. I loved this, sis. And I'm sure your niece adores her aunt even if she forgets her birthday. I'm not good at all at remembering birthdays. I tend to forget, hehe.
Happy Easter and have a lovely week, sis!🤗

Very true sis, it makes the heart light and glowing🌞 I was glad she forgives easily hehe. And not good at remembering birthdays makes the 2 of us, lol!

Enjoy your Easter amiga🤗

Thank you, sis!
Children forgive easily if they love the person. :)
Happy afternoon to you!🤗

That's true though :) Thank you sis and Good morning to you :)

Hello @ifarmgirl

Gosh this seems like the idyllic relaxing breakaway weekend. I hope you had a good time unwinding with your favourite people. Your niece sounds so sweet, she's obviously a water baby.

Chicken photos have made me hungry lol, it's definitely time for breakfast.

Thank you for taking us along with you.

Hello Iris, good morning to you :) Thank you for your kind remarks, it was a time well-spent especially that I was off-limit from my phone most of the day hehe.

Many thanks :) Always a pleasure.

Woohoo you had a wee break CJ, how awesome is that!
I had a barbecue today too, although it was pulled pork in a bun and a steak burger in a bun. I first looking at the chicken roasting away and I thought that it looked like a fussball table with the poles and handles!
Did you go for a swim? I love how you always end up spoiling your niece!
Happy Easter and enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Yes, a whole day break off the screen hehe. It seems your celebration of your wins are still on going🌞 BBQ in a bun sounds yumyum.

And hahaha, your imagination is cool, it does look like a fussball table😂

It was a wonderful swimming day for the kids. Thank you and Happy Easter too, Tito Ed!

Salamuch CJ, yes so you saw it too hehe
