`sweet islanders`
by: Lady Bridgette D. Yu
It wasn’t raining. It wasn’t a bad weather. It wasn’t a bad luck. And it wasn’t a dream. It was true. The cool sun shines directly unto me. The pleasing breeze of the wind makes my hair fly and dries up the sweat of sadness. I feel very lucky and fortunate at those times. It makes my day peaceful and satisfying. Sigh! What a very lovely day. I heard the crying of the little birds, like crying for happiness and joy. The roaring of tiny waves were also very happy. They were dancing gracefully and cheerfully. Above me was a sky. The peaceful sky was watching me since the time I arrived. Ah! What a very lovely day.
I was only observing the wonderful spot while seating on a very comfortable chair on a very comfortable cottage here in Surigao. It was very sunny at that time. So, I hide in the cottage for a while and starting to think what would I do next. Then I get my Nokia Express Music cell phone to peek up my messages. But the place had no coverage area. So, I played my favorite music and mixes on my phone. While digging on it, I watched closely to my family that was enjoying swimming on the beach. Well, I guess that the happy tiny waves had vanished away all of their problems.
After watching them, I asked myself “They are really enjoying their selves here in the beach, in an island, a very peaceful island. They are now playing nice on the beach. What if I go there now and maybe I would also enjoy as they enjoy it?” Then I really go there on the beach and take a sweet swim with my pleasant family. And it’s true! It is really nice to swim there and I found myself very interesting that time. It was really cloudy at that time. We really enjoyed there. That was a very memorable bonding with my family. We were also telling stories about what is going on now at school. And we were having a very great time!
And that was the sweetest bonding I had in my family at the island. We were sweet as sugar on an island and making our selves as the sweet islanders. After the joyous moments, I already stop swimming on the beach and hide again on a comfortable chair in a comfortable cottage. And I was having a peaceful rest alone. While resting, I get again my cell phone to play some music on my ear, some sweet lovely music. Then I get asleep. Dreaming about something I couldn’t really picture it out. It was a dream that was like in fantasies. I was singing joyful songs with the lovely fairies. And fly with them happily. Oh! What a very nice dream.
But I wasn’t able to finish my lovely dream because I heard someone talking to me then I woke up. It was my mother who woke me up and trying to say that we should leave the sweet island later because it is getting darker and darker now. I stood up and took a walk in the island and having some pictures on its wonderful view. It was such a peaceful and happy spot that I had seen. Then I go back to the cottage where my family had united. I told stories with what my dad and I saw at the back of the sweet island. And they cherish it.
It was already dark now and my mom told us that we will now leave the sweet small island. Then I packed up my messy things on the table and organized them. Then, we were already ready to leave the sweet island and I bid myself goodbye to it. Then I walked very slowly because I am missing the sweetest island that I ever had been. I already reached the boat which I had been ridden a while ago. I took a pleasant ride going back to our home while thinking that it was a very lovely day.
I pause for a while. I thought that it was just only a very lovely day. But that was the very relaxing moment that I had experienced in my whole life. I was thankful to God the Father for giving me such a very wonderful memory on a sweet island. I never had seen myself so satisfied at that time. It was such a very joyous weekend on my entire life. I hope that we can still continue our family sweet bonding on the other nice places such as very memorable places. And thanking God so much for guiding, caring, persevere and love me and my family on that day. Everywhere and anywhere we are, God has always been good to us and He always protects and guides us every time, anytime.
