The sound of the rain beat out our alarm yesterday morning.
Nevertheless, we loaded our bags and drove of to Hale Manna in
Moalboal in the pouring rain. Our very good friend, Geraldine,
invited us to spend her 38th birthday with her.
After a brief stop to buy Pan de Sal in Naga and to see the Mantayupan Falls in Barili, we found ourselves in this wonderful resort. Hale Manna has always been this wonderful since it started a few years back. And it seems to me like it keeps
growing ever so beautifully much like the flowers and trees that sprung around.
When we arrived, the owner herself, greeted us and briefly chatted with us. Not long after, the celebrant and her family
arrive too. We spent the day enjoying the beach and lounging on on one of the cabanas and had lechon during dinner to pre-celebrate turning 38.
Happiest Birthday Geraldine!
