Yep, Manukan Island this time... with my husband's nephew (Anselmo, his gf Marielena), myself and Francesca... this is Francesca very first trip to an Island!
Im sure she's going to be excited...
A very hot and sunny day...which is a very good day togo an Island. We arrived
at the Jetty around 10.30am! Yep..we're not too late but just on the right timing!!!
Hop up to the boat and then 'here we go'..........
As soon as we arrived the Island, we got the right spot straight away..but me
and Francesca can't wait to grab for some food.. so we walk to look for
the Island restaurant.. and we had not-so-very-nice 'chicken rice'..
but its alright! as long as our tummy is filled!
Bought her a nice 'sand castle making' toys in the Island, and she liked it.
The sun is getting stronger and stronger.. no doubt cos it was around 1 noon..
She played her toys while I lay myself and enjoying the view...
@ 4pm, and its time to go back.. hop back to our boat, poor Francesca looks very exhausted went straight to her nap on the boat! Bet she enjoyed it very much!

Having things their own way is another trait that gets them as being
stubborn and arrogant. 1's are extremely honest and do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them. Lesson to learn: Others ideas might be just as good or better and to stay open minded.
#2
2's are the born diplomats. They are aware of others needs and moods and often think of others before themselves. Naturally analytical and very
intuitive they don't like to be alone. Friendship and companionship is very
important and can lead them to be successful in life, but on the other hand,
they'd rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship. Being
naturally shy, they should learn to boost their self-esteem, express
themselves freely and seize the moment, and not put things off.
#3
3's are idealists. They are creative, social, charming, romantic, and easy going. They start many things, but don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.

4's are sensible and traditional. They like order and routine. They only act when they fully understand what they are expected to do. They like getting their hands dirty and working hard.

The whole world is their school and they see a learning possibility in every situation. The questions never stop. They are well advised to look before they take action and make sure they have all the facts before jumping to conclusions.
#6
6's are idealistic and need fell useful to be happy. A strong family
connection is important to them. their actions influence their decisions.
They have a strong urge to take care of others and to help. They are very loyal friends who take friendship very seriously. They should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they cannot.
#7
7's are the searchers. Always probing for hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is slow and steady wins the race. They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what is not
in the world at large.
#8
8's are problem solvers. They are professional, blunt and to point, have good judgment and are decisive. They have grand plans and like to live the good life. They take charge of people. They view people objectively. They let you know in no uncertain terms that they are the boss! They should learn to exude their decisions on their own needs rather than on what others want.
#9
9's are natural entertainers. They are very caring and generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm, they have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them. They have so many different personalities that people around them have a hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing and blending in. They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving foundation.
