What a day filled with kids asking lots of questions about cavities and plaques…

We spent hours at the dentist office today. Of course when we enter the whole reception can feel our energy…super fun family right….

Our son had hus first dental checkup and I actually thought it will be a tough one for us…until I saw him run into the consult room and jumped on to the chair asking questions and finding out why he needs to brush his teeth 3 times a day and not just 2 times a day….LOL!!!

Over all we had a great dental checkup. Until the next 6months we are all set for dental stuff.

She was so funny…calling for her mama….

He surly had fun in that chair…feeling like he is now a big guy…

She is really for all that needs to be done…

They are cleaning Destiny’s…and it all worked out well..

Yes we made it and passed with flying colors…lol…

Here are the newest PADI Open Water Scuba Divers on the block…such a fulfilling sport to be able to get this experience with our young kids as a family…

Open water dive is really something I wish everyone can experience being able to go under water and see all the marine life down there is amazing.

Our trip started from Manila when we board the 2 hour bus ride to Batangas to meet our instructor Wilson who left ahead of time.

It was a nice smooth no stress bus ride.

We arrived at the batangas bus terminal..then got into a Jeepney that took about 1 hour to fill up…the Jeepney took us to Mabini…when we got off we took a try cycle which dropped at off at our dive resort. The anilaio beach club.

We had to get suit up right away and start our shore dive…my first time in open water that deep. I think it’s the first for our whole family going 40 feet deep…we had our pool lessons at a 15 feet deep water so it’s very different…this one had salt water and it’s an uncomfortable environment…but with all our practice we new this was what we practiced for so ready or not here we come.

Wilson and his buddy Jim helped us get suited up and we started our  last day of dive test until we can get our certification.

It all went well.

The next day was our fun dive day…super exciting since we have to now ride the boat to the payalan island at a dive spot and just dive our way….

We made 2 dives there and spent about 4 hours just exploring the waters and just having fun. Such an amazing experience.

Seeing the corals and fish and all the stuff in the marine world.

Our next dive place will probably be in Malaysia since now we are PADI Open Water Scuba Certified Divers….yeyyyyy….

Today woke up excited as I knew my day is going to be super fun with my new life long friends.

Visited a fair that was filled with fillipino designers and great home baked foods.

Spent the first few minutes just tasting this yummy home baked brownies…you can feel the love and soul in each bite. Had to even carry some home…lol!!!

Had a great tasty yummy lunch…that will surly have me in the gym 6 days a week next week but it was so worth it and will do it over again if the clock is set back… great friends equals lots of laughter and love…

Woke up with the excitement and definitely end with an excitement.

On my way home I got a call from Marcus and he wanted to meet up with me for a movie night….now that’s how a great day is measured.
We went to watch the Transporter which is one of my favourite movies….but I kind of like the first actor…this new actor needs to grow on me.

Some pictures to show my awesome day…. tomorrow will even be bigger and better.

So Marcus and I finally got to have a romantic vacation away alone from the kids thanks to our awesome friend Lyneth. She came by and stayed at our condo with our kids while marcus and I went to Palawan and Island in the Philippines.

Marcus and I did a lot of research just to find the place we hoped will be right.

Then we arrived at the airport and got picked up by Christian( a driver from Blue Palawan beach resort )…. the drive from the aiport to the resort alone did it for us. Christian gave us a city tour with such smiles and genuine love to assist us in making our vacation extra special.

When we arrived at Blue…first impression was super awesome…with smiles from Jia and Jovani and Jennifer and Kaiser ( yeap I did get all their names so I can also genuinely profoundly share my sincere gratitude for their asistance while we visited Blue).

Marcus and I truly had an awesome Weekend. From the airport the driver stopped to help marcus negotiate and rent a motor bike. So we basically had a motorbike throughout our vacation.

We basically took the bike to the 8th wonder of the world which is the underground river cave. What an amazing experience riding with marcus on a motorbike for 1 hour 30min and just cruising. And on our way back it started raining which made our journey extra special.

On sunday the owner of Blue told us he wants to take us someplace for the most beautiful sunset ever…and yes it was..

The place is called NAGTABON Beach. ..wow!!! I can’t express the sight but I hope the pictures will be able to create the feeling I had with that sunset for you also….

The highlight of our trip was the monster truck ride…Marcus got to drive this monster truck and the smiles on his face was priceless…he said that truck drive is one of the top highlights of his over adventures in 2015…

Over all we have made Life long friends in Blue Palawan beach resort….and will definitely return to that resort if we do take another vacation  back this way…

That’s the monster truck…

He is in love…

Life long friend….

This is what he really enjoys…at the 8th wonder of the world..

A romantic kiss that was genuine…

Entry into the 8th wonder of the world underground river cave

The cave was about 5 miles long…we did not go all the way to the end…

Such a beautiful view…

Can I move this monster…??? Well…

One last shot before bedtime…lol!!!

Beautiful sunset

He got this one in his palm…

We always seem to fall in love every moment we spend together after 15yrs of marriage and 5 beautiful kids….

That’s how I celebrate the sunset…

That was my kiss to remember…we all about Love…

Lunch with our life long Filipino friends…

At the wet market in palawan…it was a nice experience…

Yeap…after 15yrs he still gets excited…this is why we are in love…it’s the funny crazy stuff we do…

Beautiful water at the 8th wonder of the world
