Life right now is like rollercoaster between work deadlines,family commitments, and of course the ever growing to do list and finding time for genuine connection can feel like searching for a nowhere. That's why when our schedules finally aligned,we seized the opportunity with both hands.Rest day became our most important promise to reclaim our friendship from the busy lives.

Our destination was the familiar and comforting place of Ayala Mall in Bacolod City this is a place for a quick bond with friends, where entertainment and good eats have.

Our plan was simple movie trip to be followed by a eat out.Nothing special just a few hours of shared laughter and conversation with a little backstabbing kidding aside 🤣 ✌️ but it is a reminder that even in the middle of chaos we were still us.

After a quick scan of the movie listings we choose "A Quiet Place".A post-apocalyptic horror thriller which its promised suspense,scares, and a unique premise for survival on absolute silence.

The film dip us into a world overrun by blind,sound-sensitive creatures.The Abbott family are living in near total silence have adapted to this terrifying reality.Their survival depends on careful planning,sign language and also a constant awareness of every rattle and whisper.

A Quiet Place is really good at making you feel tense by using silence.The movie makes the quiet itself feel important.Every little sound like a tiny move,a breath or a heartbeat feels like super loud.We held our breath with the people in the movie and it made us really nervous.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski were amazing as they portray the role of the parents showing real and strong fear.The kids, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe were also great by showing how fragile but tough kids can be in a scary world.

The way the movie is filmed is beautiful.It shows the lonely,pretty place after everything fell apart but also makes you feel trapped and scared.The light and shadows make it feel creepy.

A Quiet Place is more than just a scary movie.It's about family,giving up things for others and wanting to keep loved ones safe.It shows how quiet can be strong not just to stay alive but to talk and connect with each other.

We left the movie amazed and excited. It was better than we thought, a really special and memorable movie. If you like scary, emotional movies, you should see it.

we headed to GnG restaurant, a beloved haunt for our group.The restaurant is a warm, inviting ambiance immediately soothed our frayed nerves.The cozy design with its soft lighting and comfortable seating felt like a familiar embrace.

We settled into our usual spot,our corner booth that had witnessed countless conversations and shared meals.The menu also comforting mix of familiar favorites and exciting new dishes was a welcome sight.We did not stray far from our comfort zone we ordering the same dishes that had become our GNG staples.The grilled pork with their perfect balance of sweet and savor were a must have.

We treated ourselves to GNG's crowd pleasing favorites.The sizzling pork with its strips and vibrant greens was a pure delight.And those fruit shakes each one was a liquid vacation a sweet and refreshing finale.GNG's charm lies not just in its food but in its welcoming atmosphere.The staff always friendly and attentive made us feel right at home.The restaurant's cozy design with its warm lighting and comfortable seating encouraged us to linger and savor the moment.

As we ate the conversation start to flowed effortlessly.We talked about the movie and even dissecting our favorite scenes and debating the film's deeper themes.We shared stories from our lives,catching up on work, family and everything in between.We laughed,we reminisced and we simply enjoyed each other's company.As the afternoon drew to a close we reluctantly prepared to part ways.Work schedules and other commitments beckoned pulling us back into the rhythm of our busy lives. But as we said our goodbyes there was a shared sense of contentment a quiet satisfaction in having carved out a few precious hours for friendship.

The day was not about extravagant gestures or grand adventures.It was about the simple act of being present of sharing laughter and conversation of reaffirming the bonds that connect us.In a world that often feels fragmented and disconnected these moments of genuine connection are more important than ever.They remind us that we are not alone that we have a support system,that we have a group of people who understand us and accept us for who we are.

Our rest day was not just about escaping the daily lives but it was also about recharging our batteries both individually and as a group.By taking the time to slow down and connect with each other we were also able to return to our responsibilities feeling refreshed and renewed.There is a certain magic to spending time with close friends.It is a language unspoken and a shared understanding that transcends words.It is our ability to laugh at the same jokes and even to share the same silences aside from that to simply be together without judgment.

Our day at the movies and GNG was a gentle reminder of what truly matters in life our relationships that we cultivate,the moments we share and the memories we create.In the grand scheme of things and a few hours spent with friends may seem insignificant but their impact can be profound.As we parted ways we made a silent promise to prioritize these moments of connection and to carve out time for friendship even in the middle of chaos in our lives.We knew that our schedules would continue to be demanding but we also knew that the bonds we shared were worth fighting for.


FB_IMG_1743557472103.jpg


May we always find time to escape the noise and to reconnect with our friends and to create memories that will warm our hearts for years to come.Because in the end it is not the grand gestures or the adventures that define our lives but the simple moments of connection,the shared laughter and of course the unwavering support of our friends.

And in those moments,we find the true meaning of rest.And who knows maybe our next rest day will involve a new movie,a new restaurant and a whole new set of unforgettable memories.Until then,We will cherish the moments we have and remember that even the smallest gestures of friendship can leave the biggest impact.After all,life is too short to let those connections fade.


Escape the ordinary,embrace the extraordinary and find your joy with your love ones.


P.S. Do not forget to bring your camera.If you want to capture every moment of this vibrant and unforgettable staycation.

Halong ☺️✨ ( keep safe )
