MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Just like my family’s tradition, we
went to the Turtle Mart (grocery place) early in the morning to buy snacks we
can munch for it is our most favourite time of the year (and snacks are pricey
in hotels). Since this day was our last
whole day too, we grabbed the chance to enjoy our hotel and beach more. It felt like we were forever on the pool
side. Mas naaliw pa kami when Santa
Clause visited the people in the swimming area.
We were like kids so excited so we called him for a picture – it was
definitely sugar rush!
The morning was further spent doing
nothing --just transferring from beach chair to another, vegetating, people
watching. For lunch, we headed to a 5
minute walk carinderia (where the hotel staff eat) and satisfied ourselves with
a last hurrah of real Thai food.
The afternoon seemed long and
short. We both wanted to linger more but
we are also excited for the real world.
We started talking about what we will do when we reach Manila, and this
did not spoil our vacation for because we know this is grander than what we
have now.
Our last night was concluded with a fancy dinner at Takieng (fine-dining restaurant of the hotel). We ate in the second floor with
dim lights, overlooking the beach. Our
toes would sometimes touch other as we savor every bite of what is on our
dinner plate.
As always, we walked out of the
restaurant with our hands clasped. Only
this time, my head was leaning on his shoulder and I whispered the words “I
love you, husband”. He then leaned on me
and kissed me on the forehead saying “I love you too, wife”.
