It was a hot sunny day when we proceeded to Alcoy, Cebu in our small car. It was so small that I decided to sit at the back together with our baggage and provisions for two days stay at a place we still don't know where to. We just decided to proceed knowing that our tourist guide daughter know the place. So without much ado......on we go.
As we go along, we have to pick up some important things needed in our trip, since the purpose of which is to celebrate the birthday of my youngest "apo" who is six years old this day, April 24, 2010. We picked-up a birthday cake from "Goldilocks" at EMall P. del Rosario/Leon Kilat Sts., a grilled chicken from a roadside vendor and a bag of ice cubes.
It was still early so conversation was lively from one topic to another. Since we are passing the South Road Properties our trip was smooth and without any hitch. So we arrived at our destination (around ten o'clock in the morning) at Alcoy after buying a kilo of "lechon" (grilled pig) in Carcar City. Finally, we arrived at our destination aptly named Sola (coming from the word solar - energy from the sun) Homes Beach Resort in the above named town.
After making the usual registration and payment to the resort caretakers, we immediately proceeded to eating some of our food provisions since we are scheduled for a long day in the beach.
By the way, included in our trip is my wife Connie, sons Michael and Mark, daughters Michelle and Marion and my two grand kids John Michael Anthony Anico and Matthew Alexander Siao. Not included in the trip is my other daughter Charis, a clinical instructor, who is still with her students at a Carcar City hospital wherein she promised to join us the next day, Sunday, if there's still time.
It was really a beautiful day for everyone since the weather is not so hot and cooperating for a nice and wonderful day for a swimming lesson or two.
Well, sometimes a day that is so beautiful has to end, especially if the time is of no concern to everyone. You won't be able to notice that the day has an ending also.
But whether you like it or not, an ending has to come so at night time we tried to make the most of our time by staying awake until midnight, since we decided to get back at the beach the next day because we are already leaving at twelve noon the next day.
The next day was a little bit sad for we are already on our way back home. But to make up for the short time that we spent in our little birthday celebration, we decided to go to the beach early so that we can check out from our room/house on time.
We have to wait also for our daughter who is coming in from Carcar City to join us. She did arrived on time at around 7:00 AM and was able to join us in the beach for another session with the calm and beautiful blue sea. It was one of natures best gift to mankind, that's why we have to take good care of this gift and not abuse it.
On our way home we decided to pass by the Natures Park in Argao, Cebu and see for ourselves some of man's best effort to recreate God's creation of nature. But it seems, no amount of man's best effort could duplicate the Almighty's little effort of giving man a natural habitat for humans and other God's creations.
But it seems God did not intend it this way. While God has given all his creation the freedom to live in this whole wide world, man is doing the reverse by enclosing and limiting the movement of some of man's best friends and companions.
Look at this guinea pig, who is suppose to be roaming free and wild in their natural habitat, but man is killing them by enclosing them in cages and destroying whatever is left of their natural forest living quarters.
Really man is enemy of the other creations, man who was created special by giving them additional quality of being able to understand and the so called higher form of specie that was trusted by God to take care and subdue other created beings, is making it hard for other living species.
After several hours of wall climbing, zip lining, boating, a visit to some zoo animals like rabbits, guinea pig, monkey, and more, we proceeded home tired but satisfied for the two days that we have spent together. It is really worthwhile sharing your time together with members of your family from to time even if it will cost you money.....money that is well spent for a little bit of bonding and home we go..........
