Dan: Surprise! (handing me flowers)
Me: Wow! Thank you Daddy! Sabi ko naman sayo huwag ka nang
mag- abala. Sayang ng pera mo.
Dan: Kilala kita. Ilang Valentines mo na yan sinabi. Tapos
paghindi kita binigyan, magtatampo ka.
Me: lol
Dan: Huwag kang mag-alala, ibabawas ko yan sa remittance ko. Lol

We stayed at home on Valentine’s Day. We didn’t go out
because first, it was a weekday and our energy had been sucked by our more
than eight hour stay in the office. Second, I didn’t want to spend for a fancy dinner. And third,
I felt that we already celebrated
Valentine’s Day. On February 11-12, we went out of town (Laguna) to attend the birthday party of our
friend’s daughter. Actually, the date
of the party was on the 12th
but we opted to go to Laguna in advance because we wanted to have a “family
time” outside of our abode. My husband
and I resolved to stop holing up in our home and start going outdoors. It’s not
for us but for Baby C. She’s already 2.5 yo, and she’s becoming more curious
every day. We feel the need to expose her to the “outside world.”
Since there is no hotel near the venue of the birthday
party, I booked a condo unit through Airbnb.
It was my first Airbnb experience.
At first, I had qualms. But after
researching and reading reviews, I convinced myself to give it a shot. Good thing about Airbnb is that you can
contact the host before booking the unit.
You can ask as many questions as you want. I guess I was lucky because our host was very
prompt in answering my queries.
We arrived at the condo
at around 4pm, 2 hours late from the agreed time of check-in. My bad. The caretaker was nice enough to wait for
us. I was not able to take photos of the condo unit. It was a 25-sqm studio unit. It looked cramped perhaps because of the arrangement of the furniture. Nonetheless, it was clean. There was no TV and no internet connection
which was ok with me because as I’ve said we went there to spend time with each
other. Basta, everything was basic,
from furniture to beddings. I kinda
expected it already because hello I just paid P2700 for four persons, way
cheaper than booking a hotel room. It had AC and it was clean, solb na ako
dun.
What I like about the condominium is its location and its
vibe. The ambiance was peaceful. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the
highway. It made me feel close to nature. There's a playground and a
swimming pool. However, I didn’t take a dip because it was too cold. It was
Dan who accompanied Baby C.
After we checked out, we went directly to the venue of Baby Celin's party. It's only a trike ride away from the condo.
Baby C enjoyed our short vacation. Actually, we all enjoyed it. I am looking forward to more ganap with my family.
