Fifteen Shades of Summer

Spending the summer with my family is always like winning a lotto jackpot without betting a single penny. As they say, “The best things in life are free.” Indeed, it is!

You only have to pause or slow down on your busy schedule and focus on the simple things and love ones around you.
As a sailor, most of my time is spent away from my family and love ones. So I make sure to make-up whenever I’m on my vacation leave. We go to places they always ask me to visit. Or just stay at home while I teach them some of my recipes. I like that experience, it was priceless!

Please enjoy the 15 photos from my recent vacation. These are my alibis why I didn’t post for the past couple of months. Enjoy! 😉

My kids graduation day. I consider this event as a very big achievement as a Dad!

Thanks to my Wife in fulfilling this great achievements.

I got home just in time for my kids graduation day. Thanks to my reliever, Chef Rody Belarma for relieving me to attend this very special occasion.

I will not lie to you. A Jetski ride for several minutes is so expensive. We just ask to take a picture on it, it's FREE! =)
