A rainy morning greeted me as I was about to go to sleep, exhausted from a long trip from Metro Manila. Suddenly, my dog started barking. My wife rushed to wake me up, telling me we had visitors. She calmed the dog and welcomed them in. When I looked out the window, I saw my uncle and two cousins. They were asking if I wanted to join them on a trip. It had been years since I'd seen them, so I quickly agreed. I got ready in a hurry, changing my clothes. My feet were tired from wearing shoes for so long, so I chose my flip-flops before hopping into their waiting car. Our first stop was to visit a few nearby churches. Since we have different beliefs, I waited in the car each time they went inside. Afterward, we stopped for lunch at a restaurant called Steak to Juan in Luna, La Union. We ordered a huge beef steak platter for five people. We were so hungry that I didn't even think to take a picture or video! After our delicious meal, we visited the nearby Baluarte de Luna. This historical watchtower, also known as the Luna Watchtower, is a beautiful stone structure right on the coast. It was built during the Spanish colonial era to protect the area from pirates and other invaders. Even though it's now just a ruin, it's a very striking sight. From there, we got a glimpse of the famous Pebble Beach. I walked along the shore for a moment to feel the smooth, colorful stones under my feet before we continued our journey. This was my weekend experience. Thanks for reading. Disclaimer: This text was refined using an AI tool to improve clarity and composition.

Hi my friend it was a good idea to go on an excursion with your uncle and cousins, visiting churches, even if they have different types of beliefs is a symbol of sympathy and tolerance, it speaks well of you. How nice that you were able to feast on that steak and I imagine it was delicious, how nice that your outing was a good way to spend your weekend. Thanks for sharing. Greetings and Blessings my friend.
Thanks for this kind words. Yup. Indeed, I respect the belief of others, by doing so, we help in building a society where every mankind can live with each other regardless what kind of religion and/or nationality we have. 🤗❤️🫰
