Simple Pleasures 02/02/2013

Thank God for technology as my phone by default remembers the exact date as to when photos were taken. (otherwise I would never have any clue)

I want to call this post “Simple Pleasures”.  You see, I am so behind on my post and I personally feel like I owe myself this blog… well, more blog posts. I’ve been missing way too much on my blogging.

What I liked about that particular day was the simplicity itself and how we took pleasure in it.  I remembered being so happy spending my day with my love and with our dear Bbones. So just a preface, Bbones is a 3 year old Golden Retriever. He is my boyfie’s and the boyfie’s ex’s baby. So yeah, I am the acting stepmom to Bbones, and I like that.  We planned to just spend our Saturday morning (after a long and tiring week at work) in Ayala Business Park to treat Bones to a wider playground all for himself. After all, we owed Bbones that because I think we’ve been busy for the previous weeks.  I am just glad that even when Cebu is already crowded with buildings, a place like the business park holds a place of sweet solitude for people like us who would enjoy the greens rather than the concretes.  But it is noteworthy that just across the big space for Bbones, a tall condominium is under construction. I kinda hate the thought that in a few months from now a new building would rise again giving way to more and more buildings. That means, fewer “park-like” setting for us.


Nonetheless, we had the park all by ourselves for that day and that’s what mattered to me. We packed up Bbones stuff; water, blanket and a badminton set. We dropped by Fidel’s chicken near USC Main as I would always endorse their fried chicken as “remarkably” delicious. I just can’t resist the tempting smell of the chicken that reminds me of my college life. We got the chicken to go   and we hurriedly proceeded to our destination (with Bbones being excited of course, I presumed). 


Here are some pics I saved for that day; Look at that beast!

We stayed for a couple of hours. We played catch, badminton, ate, listened to music and just talk about anything literally under the sun and went home to catch some sleep.

I like these simple quiet moments because life feels slow and you don’t have to keep up with the world. It’s an escape to the outside world, when you don’t have to worry what to wear, where to eat or what to say. It’s too simple that I can’t resist but to feel just…. Happy.
