It is a day when I can truly reflect on how fortunate I am to be the mother of 3 beautiful, healthy children. They, in turn, make me feel like a Queen for a day. I wish I could say that I have always understood what an important day this is for moms. Unfortunately, though I have always loved and appreciated my own mother, it was not until I cleaned caked-on food out of the dining chair seat cushion, pee pee out of the car seat, and throw up out of the carpet that I could start to grasp the relevance of this day. It was not until I experienced what was to become an ordinary day consisting of a wake time of 6 a.m., breakfast, dishes, laundry, bus stop, snacks, playdate, grocery shopping, lunch, naptime (thank goodness!), snacks, bus stop, dinner preparation, dishes, homework, bedtime routines, and shear exhaustion, that I realized the enormity and responsibility of the duties of a mom. Not until I became intimately familiar with the thrill of soft, chubby arms grasped tightly around my neck or utter delight in the sound of all of my children playing cooperatively in the next room or the raw power of an unprompted \u201cI love you, Mommy,\u201d when it comes from a high-pitched, sing-song voice behind me as I drive in the car did I begin to understand the complex relationship of a mother and her child(ren). <\/p>\n<p>This day is not just a day to be honored for all that we as moms do for our families and our communities, but it is a day for moms to meditate on this gift that we have been given: the task of loving, nurturing, educating, and training our children for their place in the world as adults. Who I am as a mom is in large part because of my mom\u2019s influence, and someday my children will come to understand that their mom helped shape who they are as parents.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.wahm-articles.com\/Article\/Mother-s-Day-Reflections\/3755<\/p>\n<p>The growing array of hotel resort accommodation, recreation and entertainment facilities, places to unwind and relax, fine dining and family restaurants, bars and pubs makes it increasing easy for tourists and visitors from Manila to spend quality time in a place of leisure in Clark, Pampanga.<\/p>\n<p>To many visitors from Manila, a place of leisure or a good hotel or resort in Pampanga must be located in a city that is safe, clean and not so noisy.  Convenience and accessibility are important considerations in choosing a holiday destination in Philippines.  Clark Freeport is probably the easiest tourist destination to reach from Manila.  Clark also has its own international airport with dozens of daily flights connecting Clark directly with Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Bangkok, Malaysia and South Korea.  Clark is home to some of the best golf courses in Pampanga.   Although golf continues to be one of the reasons why visitors from Manila travel to Pampanga, residents of Angeles City, Subic and Bulacan travel to Clark not just to play golf in one of the best golf courses in Pampanga but also to relax and unwind in the best resort in Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>Hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, fine dining and family restaurants, bars and pubs, entertainment, nightlife, place of leisure, sports and recreation facilities in Clark and Angeles Pampanga are showcased for the convenience of visitors planning a getaway from Manila or a weekend out of town to relax and unwind in a clean and safe city.  <\/p>\n<p>Spa is not the only way to unwind for people who are stressed out by Manila traffic and noise pollution.<\/p>\n<p>Clearwater Resort &amp; Country Club offers several styles of accommodation from US$65 up inclusive of breakfast for two at the beautiful Breakfast Garden Restaurant overlooking the large Clearwater lake and beach.  This is a good rendition of the lifestyle that the Americans left behind after they left the Clark Airbase.  A good short description of this lifestyle is suburban laid-back slow-paced clean living, very suitable for tourists and guests looking for a way to unwind from the stress of living in Manila. <\/p>\n<p>In a city like Manila, most residents rely on visits to spa and beauty parlor to unwind and relax.  But with a short getaway to Angeles City Clark Pampanga one can de-stress by enjoying beautiful outdoor amenities of this beach resort, savoring what nature can offer.<\/p>\n<p>For reservations, comments and inquiries, <\/p>\n<p>Clearwater Resort &amp; Country Club<br \/>\nCreekside Road corner of Centennial Road,<br \/>\nCentral Business District, Clark Freeport Zone,<br \/>\nPampanga, Philippines 2023<\/p>\n<p>Tel: (045)599-5949 0917-520-4403  0922-870-5177<\/p>\n<p>Manila Sales Office<br \/>\n3003C East Tower, Phil Stock Exchange Center,<br \/>\nExchange Rd Ortigas Metro Manila, Philippines 1605<br \/>\n(632) 637-5019   0917-520-4393  Rea or Chay<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.ClearwaterPhilippines.com<\/p>\n<p>Email:   Inquiry@ClearwaterPhilippines.com<\/p>\n<p>Getting to this hotel in Clark Philippines<br \/>\nAfter entering Clark Freeport from Subic, Manila, Dau and Angeles City, proceed straight along Clark\u2019s main highway MA Roxas, passing Clark\u2019s largest wine shop called Clark Wine Center on your right, continue to bear right making no turns at all, go past Mimosa Leisure Estate on the opposite side of the road, you will hit a major intersection.
