From Worries to Waves: A Beach Escape Before the Big Family Reunion
Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing okay despite everything happening around us.
Life here in the Philippines is not easy these days. The price of diesel keeps going up. Rice and other basic needs are also getting more expensive. Because of this, I have been feeling worried lately.
One of the reasons is our upcoming family reunion… and this time, we are the host family.
I feel pressure. Hosting a reunion is not easy, and it also needs a big budget. You need to prepare food, things for the program, and many other expenses. With everything getting expensive, I that I feel worried.
Before everything starts, I told myself… I need a little break.
Thankfully, something unexpected happened.
My husband had a “pakyaw” trip because he has a rent-a-van. His passengers were his high school bestfriend and a God father of my daughter, and they allowed us to come with them. He brought me, our daughter, and my niece.
For me, that was already a blessing, especially it’s a free transportation and trip at the beach.
Even with all my worries about the reunion, I was given a chance to relax first.
While we were on the road, I started to feel calm. The sunlight reflecting on the road looked so peaceful. For a moment, I forgot all my worries.
Then we finally saw the sea.
It was so beautiful calm, and very relaxing moment with my daughter and my niece.
But the best part was my daughter. She was so excited! She kept pointing at the water and shouting when she saw the sunlight reflecting on the sea. Her happiness was so pure, and it made me smile.
At that moment, I realized something.
Even if we are facing problems and financial struggles, we still deserve to pause and breathe. We still deserve small moments of happiness.
We didn’t spend much. It was not a big trip.
But it helped me relax and somehow relieved my worries. Because sometimes, before facing big responsibilities, we just need a simple moment to recharge.
This beach trip may be short, but it gave me peace and strength. Now, I feel more ready to face our upcoming family reunion.
Life may be hard, but moments like this remind me that everything will be okay.
Thank you so much for reading my simple story. The lead photo was edited in Canva. I hope you also find time to rest, even in the middle of your worries.
Have a nice day! 💛
That's so beautiful escape.. at least it helped you relax without focusing too much on the stressful family reunion na yan hehe. So beautiful ng dagat talaga huhu. Kelan kaya kami makakadagat 🥹
Pagod lang sis dahil sa Sobrang init, pero worth it dahil Sobrang enjoy ng anak. Uwi narin dahil sa bundok pa ang aming venue ng reunion.
That's really an awesome escape! 😍

HAY! super duper nakakapagud png host ng reunion.Kailangan mo maging super wonder woman. Good thing you have that beach escape with the family. The kids are enjoying the beach and thats a well spend escape.
True sis, subrang nakakapagod pero worth it. I hope they will enjoy the things that we prepared for them.
Hoping walang halong plastikan kasi ang hirap pg mg reunion tapos akala natin totoo yong pakisama nila or mayron vah akala mo okay kayo but then ayyy may marinig ka..
Right talaga sis, Misunderstanding is normal in the family. In busy days and schedule we rarely bond our family. Buti nalang may reunion.
Exactly po, those little escapes remind us to breathe. Life can get heavy, but a bit of salt air and quiet really does help put things back in perspective.
And you’re right: at the end of the day, it will be okay. Sometimes we just need that short pause to remember it.
Yes we need to pause and enjoy the moment. Thank you!
