Tubigan Resort

Now I have to update this, after checking out that there are so many viewers of this Tubigan Resort post of mine. I am very much sorry for the late update, excuse the busy mom here. :D

Summer 2016 

This is the resort we’ve been last summer 2015 and I was so amazed that it was really different from the way it looks like now. It was well developed and so many statues and kids stuff that you can see. More pools and cottages are added and a clean vicinity that you can notice. The parking lot is way too spacious for guests and they are actually strict at the entrance. No liquors are allowed inside the resort. The landscape is cool and if you can spot well, the place tends to catch children’s interest. Their favorite cartoon characters statues are everywhere and in fact, it is huge and cool! Pictures can tell more but experiencing it by you is pretty different!

Here is the recent update for Tubigan Resort rates as of 2018. For more information, you can check their official Facebook account.

LOVE?

"Love in Reality..."

Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the person we love, we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who loved us. We miss out on so many beautiful things and simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns.

Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words for you will find rewarding happiness not with the man you love but the man who loves you more. The best lovers are those who are capable of loving from a distance, far enough to allow the other person to grow, but never too far to feel the love deep within your being. To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it only means that you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting him to come back.

Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but it is also setting yourself free from all bitterness, hatred, and anger that you keep in your heart. Do not let the bitterness rare away your strength and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to dishearten you, but rather let you grow with wisdom in bearing it.

You may found peace in just loving someone from a distance not expecting anything in return. But be careful, for this can sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow. We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today.

There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon becomes a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than just a friendship. Don't be so bitter about it! For it is a kind of friendship that will last for a lifetime.

We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves. You don't have to forget someone you love. What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself.

Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone more deserving. Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow: If you lose love that doesn't mean that you failed in love. Cry, if you have to, but make it
sure that the tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with you.

Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime. "When I lost you, I was the one who loved you most, but between us you lost more. For someday I can love someone the way that I loved you. But you will never be loved again.

"Irony of Loving"

When you are together with that special someone, you pretend to ignore that person. But when that special someone is not around, you might look around to find them. At that moment, you are in love.

Although there is someone else who always makes you laugh, your eyes and attention might go only to that special someone. Then, you are in love.

Although that special someone was supposed to have called you long back, to let you know of their safe arrival, your phone is quiet. You are desperately waiting for the call! At that moment, you are in love.

If you are much more excited for one short e-mail from that special someone than other many long e-mails, you are in love.

When you find yourself as one who cannot erase all the messages in your answering machine because of one message from that special someone, you are in love.

When you get a couple of free movie tickets, you would not hesitate to think of that special someone. Then, you are in love.

You keep telling yourself, "that special someone is just a friend", but you realize that you cannot avoid that person's special attraction. At that moment, you are in love.

While you are reading this page, if someone appears in your mind, then u are in love with that person.

Papa's seizure

One midnight of October when I received a sms from my sister telling me that our papa is in the hospital for he had a seizure earlier that day. I was in a complete shock for this never happens to him in his entire life.

I was just home that time from a birthday party of a close friend. I came home earlier and was about to have an early sleep since I was so tired that day cleaning up the mess of my crib. I received a text from my younger sister and called her right then to know what is happening way back at Bicol. I cried and cried aloud that night and don’t know what exactly am I going to do. A friend called me out, and someone with a good heart ought to book me a flight for me to be home earlier the next day. Never thought of hitting the bed anymore for a sleep, I just waited for the dawn and the next thing I knew, I was already at the airport.

The ride was not great exactly for I was wondering how my papa is while lying at the hospital bed. I felt tears fell down every now and then from my cheek while my mind is flying out of the window. All along that flight, I was wishing then that all those worries will be taken by the cool wind and will stay out on clouds.

My papa did not recognize me when he sees me standing by beside his hospital bed. He asked me who I am. I can’t utter a word then and don’t know what to say. I clear out my throat and just simply say “papa?” I felt a bit squeeze from my heart, thinking why my papa did not even recognize me as her daughter. I just stared at him and repeatedly ask me who I am. I can’t merely find the right words to say when I just lit up my face and glance to where my Auntie is standing by as if I was looking for a help what to say. My Auntie responds in a soft way telling him “it was Lynn-Lynn, she came home for you.” I felt tears surrounds my eyes and was ready to fell but I hold them back knowing that I don’t wanna be so emotional by that time. Papa asked why I was home in no time, I sweetly told him because he was there at the hospital lying badly because of seizure and he needs to stop drinking liquor from the time he will be out. I told him too that I can’t stop crying at my pad and can’t wait to see him till I knew that he is already fine.

He told me that he felt he was already dying and can’t bear the pain he was feelin’ with those injections and oxygen he has on his body. I gently lay a hand on his head crying out that he would be fine and he will be out of that bed soon. I also told him that he needs some changes on his lifestyle or if not and that happens again, we’ll be sorry for ourselves because of losing him and I don’t want it to happen. I’m not even ready losing a father and I guess, I will never be ready for that. Ever…

Papa never had an attack ever since, that’s why it was a big deal to all of us seeing him like that. He was drunk the whole night, never had a proper meal the next day and that’s when the sodium on his body fails down that brought him to a quiet serious seizure. He was diagnose too with a damage on his liver that can lead to cirrhosis; and aside from that his prostate cancer is starting out now. Because the alcohol reacts to medicines that were injected to his body, he can’t remember what happened, he can’t remember what he said, and he forgot to recognize those people whom he talked with.

We all almost loose him that time; and I’m not really badly ready to lose him. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever… He is a one great father to me though were not that close to each other. I can’t perfectly explain what the feeling is, but I know, I really can’t handle it. I prayed and prayed to God not to get him from us for I can’t imagine what will happen if I let him go… A month ago Amiga just loosed a mother, and when I saw her cried for a time I really can’t figure out if that thing happens to me.

Losing someone you love is not easy. Letting go is the hardest thing or the last thing that you will always do. The emotional distraction could barely left a huge pain into our hearts, but if time calls you will always need to do the acceptance. In my case, I really can tell, not now………………. Love deeply those people you have around. You’ll never know when that fuckin’ time calls and it might be too late for us to say and show how we really love them…
