3 Things I Did During the Davao Bloggers Society “Beach Please!” Acquaintance Party
Last June 21, 2025, the Davao Blogger Society held its
Acquaintance Party at Hamugaway Beach, Island Garden City of Samal, with the
fun theme, “Beach Please!”. As a stay-at-home mom, blogger, and content creator,
this half-day event was a breath of fresh air for me. It was not just another
event; it was an experience that allowed me to ground myself, savor my me-time mom
break, and use my social battery. Here are the three things I did during that
day:
1. Grounding Myself at the Beach
It has been a while since I last stepped on the sand, and
when I found out the party would be held at the beach, I knew grounding would
be on my list. Upon arriving at Hamugaway Breach, I took some photos and videos,
then removed my slippers and walked barefoot on the sand and along the shore,
letting the cool sea water splash on my feet.
It was calming to feel the roughness of the sand, the softness
of the wave, and the salty breeze, reminding me of how simple moments can
refresh a tired spirit. It felt like being a kid again, free from pressure and
stress, even just for a while. Although I did not get to swim (the party had not
started yet). I promised myself that next time, I’ll take a full dip in the
sea!
2. Savoring My Me-Time Mom Break
As a mom of a clingy 2-year-old toddler, I consider it a
blessing to be needed every day, but let’s be real, Mommy needs a break, too.
The daily routines of caring for a toddler and managing home and business can be
exhausting, even when you love what you do.
So, I packed my essentials, wore comfortable clothes, and gave
myself permission to slow down. I arrived at the venue without worrying about
anyone else, ate delicious food with no time limits, and went to the bathroom without
rushing back to a toddler calling “Mommy!” every few minutes. It was half a day
of slow, steady, intentional rest, and I’m grateful for my supportive family
who allowed me to take this well-deserved pause.
3. Using My Social Battery
Being a stay-at-home mom means I spend most of my time with
family, and I’m happy with that. But once in a while, I need to use my social
battery by connecting with friends. The Davao Bloggers Society Acquaintance
Party, one of the group’s major events, was the perfect opportunity for this.
I had a great time chit-chatting with fellow bloggers and
content creators, catching up on how life has been, and sharing laughter and
stories over food. We played fun games, joined challenges, and even won some
prizes! It felt good to mingle with people who share the same passion for
blogging and content creation, reminding me why I love being part of this community.
