The Farm

On our way back from visiting the missionaries in Mindoro, we spent the night at The Farm at San Benito in Batangas. This place was amazing! We intend to go back before we leave the Philippines.

This resort describes itself as a "center for holistic medicine, spirituality and living foods." This place is nestled way off in the forest. We arrived at night which was a bit scary. They serve only a vegan diet and the food was absolutely delicious. For breakfast, we had tofu scramble, lentil pancakes with coconut syrup, fresh fruit, muesli, fresh juices, almond milk (which Brayden loves), and several other yummy things. You'll see pictures from our lunch later in this post.

This resort also has a spa; we didn't try it so I don't have a review. They have several medical treatments including colonics, live blood analysis, detoxificatin, kidney cleansing, liver cleansing, and more. Again, I didn't partake in these services.

They also have several events during the day. Each day begins with meditation at 7 am which we didn't attend because it was a bit early for us. Dwayne participated in the rotational meridian exercise. We both attended the yoga class. There is a stretching class, tibetan exercise, breathing and walking exercise, and probably more. We were there for a brief time and didn't get to fully experience the resort. Hence the reason we will return. Here are the pictures.






We had a wonderful 5 course lunch. I know it doesn't look like much but we were very full.







We have reservations for next weekend...alone.

Looks good, make sure enjoy your alone time. The food looks good too. I was just sitting here thinking that it looked like the opening scene from Fantasy Island.

It sounds wonderful, almost like a little taste of heaven. See being a vegan is not so bad after all. There are many delicious foods you can eat. Health is apart of our wealth.

I am so glad you all went out of the country and that you blog because I get to see through you all some of the other wonderful things life has to offer. This world is so big, but yet so small.

Just as an aside. A colonic, kidney cleansing, liver cleansing etc are not medical treatments.
But the resort looks beautiful and like a nice health spa.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
