ACG (All Conditions Gear)

Am nowhere near from being an all-condition type of person.

I like the summer season, because you always have a reason to go out of town and take a vacation and be worry free for a while. Though by the end of summer, my tanned skin still has not been able to recover back to its normal color. My swimming skills has not improved. And I pretty much am still afraid of snorkelling underwater. Nevertheless, I can always survive summer.
I have tried winter. This one I can survive in as well. Aside from the fact that you can be really fashionably beautiful wearing simple winter attires, it is also fun walking on 'fresh' fallen snow. I have forgetten the feeling of having sweat on my body for a few months. I did get a few sneezing every once in a while and had my nose bleed one time upon coming home to a 21 degree celcius room from a -20 degrees temp outside. But then again, winter is okay as well.
Then come the rainy days. Rainy days are probably my dreaded days. They make me sick - literally speaking. Sick with cold, cough and fever. The only good thing with rainy days for me is that a good night's sleep is guaranteed, but would also mean you'd have a harder time leaving your bed the next day. It would also mean sloppy streets and muddy shoes.

Somehow I do easily adapt to the change of season, but I always tend to welcome the new season with a fever.

Not enough vitamins... not enough life...

I'm thinking spring would be my best option...

4 Days

4 days of (paid) relaxation... here i come!!!

Off to Bicol this evening and I pretty much don't expect anything but relaxation, food (fiesta!) and loads of woven bags (no pili nuts, I'm not fond of them). Wehehehe.

I've met their Butanding (whaleshark) already so we don't need to go meet up with it again. I've gone to several beaches already this summer, in fact my "tanned/nognog" skin hasn't recovered still, so no need to go to swimming as well.

Just to breathe the fresh breeze of the province is enough vacation for me :)

What about my diet? What diet?!

Every Morning

Every morning as I walk on the pavement outside our front door (on my way to work), I notice these flowers lined up along the pathway. They look really refreshing and gorgeous.

Then every night (after I’ve had a long work day), I walk on the same pathway and I don’t see any of those, not even one.














So the next day, before I went out, I took pictures on them. Then the day after that, I looked at them again, this time not passing around but consuming several precious early morning minutes admiring them, it was worth being late in office (and I don't mind).

I am thankful for I am one of those lucky people who have been gifted with the ability to appreciate the simpler things in life that most human beings are not able to be even be aware of.
