After those sleepless, crying, and lonely nights- our growing family decided to unwind a little and travel a short distance for a while away from our place for a day.
We were still mourning, sad and lonely but life needs to go on. It's kinda of painful seeing my sister-in-law and her son Reagan every day- knowing the fact that my brother is no longer there to give them cheer. I still missed him so badly that I shed some weight due to a loss of appetite. There are times when I cry whenever I hear his favorite songs that I know of, see something that he owns, or even remember some sweet gestures that remind me of him.
We went to a nearby place where we could breathe fresh air, and see wonderful and different ambiance. So Tagaytay comes to mind first followed by Nuvali. Speaking of Nuvali, this is a budding commercial area on the south side of Metro Manila. Close to nature, a lot of restos all over the area, nice man-made lake where you could feed those fishes who were so hungry- this actually made our kiddos enjoy most of our stay in this place. The area was indeed well-kept and clean, and there were a lot of traffic aid/security guards who were at bay to assist you.
