Celebrating Life on the Day of The Dead

Everyone was on a holiday, Catholic’s day of celebrating the reunion of the dead relatives with their families ...

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I liked the weather yesterday, so nice for having a swimming at Oceana in Island Cove. This was supposed to be my treat for Jellypotpot’s birthday, but I did not pay for it actually, it was Mr.V’s.

 

We had our lunch at Fishing Village, also inside Island Cove. It was a bit cloudy where there thin clouds just enough to covered the sky, thus the sun was not so bright but not gloomy. And with the cool winds, perfect for picnics!

 

 

I think we waited the food for almost an hour! We also noticed that all huts were occupied by guests, families everywhere, and normal for a holiday like last Saturday. And because of the liquor ban on that day, “Lasinggeros” like CoolJo were very disappointed. Hehe. But there was a loop hole; we saw the hut across us got a bucket of beer then the waiter told us only foreigners could order beer! CoolJo even joked that he is a Chinese. After a while, we noticed that beers were served. Sobrang dami siguro ng nagreklamong customers.

 

 

After the bountiful lunch, we went straight to Oceana for the main event -- the swimming.

There were few people inside unlike during summer. Mr. V promised to send the pictures as soon as possible. I love my head-first glide position at the slide!

 

 

Since our Oceana tickets have free visit to Island Wild Life, we went there as our last stop. I think the best part there was the Butterfly Farm because the rest of the animals were the usual ones seen in other Zoo’s I have visited. However, we never saw even one butterfly because it was already getting dark and I guess they were already hiding somewhere. People should go here during daytime to appreciate the beauty of the wild life more.

 

 

No sunset was captured, not even the cute little blue bird and the colorful flowers around the park along the pathway. It was because no spare batteries were brought. >_<

 

 

At the end of the day, everyone was tired but made us all very happy. If Lola and Nanay were there, it would definitely be happier. They were already gone but they will NEVER be forgotten.

 

Love you Lola, Love you Nanay...
