During our family trip last June, Val and busied ourselves in looking for a suitable Leyte Resort where we can celebrate my son Vaughn’s birthday, since it was June 22 after all. It was Vaughn’s 2nd year in this ever captivating, vigorous yet unpredictable life. We found ourselves searching online for perhaps an affordable yet worthwhile resort in Ormoc City. However, we were at a loss since most resorts were a little too pricey for our budget.

I was very interested in looking for a resort consisting of pools that was safe enough for kids to swim into, considering that Val’s brother has four kids, and we sure want all of them to have a wonderful time swimming. Luckily Val’s sister–in-law, Ate Lisa, was able to reserve a private home with a large pool. The place was called the Hikari Pool.
