Holy Week at San Fabian Beach

We spent the Maundy Thursday up to Black Saturday at San Fabian Beach in Pangasinan. I was with wifey, my mother, my sister, my son, my nephews and nieces.

On our way to San Fabian, we saw countless of penitents, who either carrying crosses or whipping their backs until they became gory. These are some of the Catholic Filipino traditions that are being done during holy weeks. Some go to the point of being nailed on the cross.

At Gerona, Tarlac, my niece Lizeth treated us for lunch at Isdaan Restaurant. She just celebrated her birthday a few days back (March 30), and we teased her mother, my sister Elvie, for a blow-out.

To avoid the perennial traffic along Urdaneta City, we took the longer way – the Magilas Trail detour. We also stopped over at the Manaoag Church before proceeding to the beach.

At the beach, we met with our relatives from Quezon, Isabela. Yes, they drove all the way from Isabela. It’s another reunion and bonding for our family. We're happy to see each other again. Unfortunately, the clan wasn't complete. My eldest sister Evelyn and her hubby are in the US of A, my youngest sister Bebeng and her family are in Sydney, my daughter Jaja had work, my nephews Ronel and Jing and their families were left in Isabela, and my nephew Raymond is in Brunei.

And, the three days and two nights were spent eating, drinking, singing, gambling and swimming.

Everybody enjoyed and had fun.

Outing to Sun Moon Beach Resort

The weather is weird. It's already summer; but, it's still raining! Rain or shine, it's summer all right!

About almost a month ago, we'd planned of having an outing tomorrow up to Monday. But, it was canceled as I'm going to Cebu City on Monday early morning. But, wifey's unstoppable and persistent. He he he . . . Today, she called up her sister, our niece-in-law, my sister and invited them to have a day trip to Sun Moon Beach Resort in Bagac, Bataan. Her sister and our niece-in-law immediately accepted the invitation. My sister didn't want to come due to her recent surgery.

Oh, by the way, we just came home from the grocery!

Let's have fun and hit the beach!
