Caroleen’s Treasures

Do you want to win as much as $200? SIMPLE. Go to Yen’s blog and read the mechanics. It’s so simple and exciting too! I came to know Yen through blog hopping. She had this games with fabulous freebies and the best thing is EVERYONE is invited!!!!! Of course I joined. Won’t let this opportunity pass. I am wishing for that $$$ to be mine But guys, we all have equal chance here ‘coz it’s a raffle draw

Yen is a Filipina blogger who resides in Japan with her hubby and two kids. Author of the blogs Me and Mine, Creative in Me, Little Peanut, Pea in a Pod and Sugar Magnolias. She’s here in the Philippines for a vacation. I am supposed to meet her, Chikai and other bloggers at SM today but got hooked on the computer. I hope we could meet some other time before she flies back to Japan. 

It’s getting hotter everyday and I almost can’t stand the summer heat :-( We wanted to go Samal or Talicud Island and spend even a day or two there. I love the white beaches and crystal clear water, grilled fish, chips and coke…..

We just love the fun and excitement. But whenever the thought of beaches sinks in, I couldn’t stop from smiling to myself. It was summer 2005, we went to Samal Island with my sister Crislyn and her husband Ace. I told Donald to buy fresh fish at the wet market just a walking distance from the terminal where we will take a bus. Off he went while the rest of us hopped in the bus. I found a seat on the front just across the driver and my sister on the next. I looked around to see just a few passengers were there. So I was thinking that the bus will leave in 10 minutes or so to wait for the seats to be filled. There’s more time for Donald to get fish and back in the terminal. As I was trying to get settled, the driver started the engine. I asked the driver if we were leaving, he said yes. I told the driver that I will fetch Donald at the market and he agreed. What I did was leave Ella to my sister to get Donald. I walked as fast as I could getting a bit nervous. I don’t want them waiting for us. And I don’t know where to find him. The wet market is quite busy that morning. Thinking all those things, I started running. I am just halfway to the market when I looked around to see the bus just a few yards from me!!!! You must have seen me running to get Donald while I was followed by a bus Whew! I always laugh in embarassment when I remember this. The next time we went swimming, I had everything prepared the night before. Oh I just hope we could have a dip on the beach soon again…soon….
