In Surigao Gateway Hotel

I feel tired today and I really need a rest. So I don’t have other choice but to check in at the Surigao Gateway Hotel in Surigao City.

My family (my wife, our son and I) were on our way home to Maasin City after taking our short vacation in San Agustin, Surigao del Sur. We left San Agustin this afternoon at 1:30 even if I felt sleepy already. I don’t know what’s the cause of it, but my wife suggested that it might be the stress caused by the activities we did yesterday.

A Short Vacation in San Agustin (Surigao Del Sur)

We (My wife, our Son and I) are currently here in San Agustin, Surigao del Sur for a short vacation and and at the same time we’ll be attending the 74th birthday celebration of our mother.

We left Maasin City riding the tricycle that blogging bought for us last Sunday evening and dropped by Malitbog, Southern Leyte just to check how’s the life of our aunts and uncle. Then on Monday morning, we left Malitbog, Southern Leyte. We arrived in Liloan, Southern Leyte after about 3 hours of travel.

Happy Father’s Day!

After attending worship services and performing my duties in the church (Iglesia ni Cristo – my wife being a “Mang-aawit” and I am with the Finance department), we (my wife, our son and I) immediately went to the “Kinamot sa Abgao” restaurant to celebrate two celebrations: (1) Father’s Day; and (2) our Wedding Anniversary.

We just ordered our favorite foods such as “Kinilaw” (Raw Fish in fillet), calamares and Lechon Kawali.

After eating our lunch, we stayed there for hours enjoying the cold sea breeze.

And as of writing this post, we’re already ready to start our trip to San Agustin, Surigao del Sur.
