Rain in Summer

Image
It’s been a while since the last blog post I made, writing this while in the rhythm of the falling rains. It is summer season here in the Philippines, we started to feel the heat during the month of March. Summer but raining, I know right? Today is Sunday and the rain is still pouring  yesterday. It hasn’t stopped yet.  Before the rain happened, it was very, very hot, well, I don’t know if you guys can feel it too. Let me know if you have the same feeling. But still, I am very thankful that of rains because it gives us a cold environment, taking a pause from the heat, especially that we are  weekend days. The sky is gray, Mr. Sun is not showing and no heavy winds.  To be honest, my perspective of being productive was changed or let’s say updated. I used to describe it by accomplishing major tasks; going outside to buy something, cleaning, cooking, washing clothes and etc. But now, it has been two days today, I did nothing of those mentioned tasks. I haven’t taken a s...

How I Spent Holy Week Break



Most Filipinos are from a family where most are Catholics. One of the traditions that is being celebrated every year is the Holy Week. It is a very sacred time to recollect the last of Jesus' life. The time of taking reflections of the sacrifices Jesus has done to mankind. It is also the best time to examine our personal live, especially our deeds.

Holy week is celebrated in different ways. Some spend time with their families, travel internationally or locally, etc. How did you spend yours?

Like everyone else, I always look forward for the Holy Week to go home in the province and do everything different from the daily routine in the city. These are the things that I did during the Holy Week:

1. Sleeping

That day when we arrived in the province, my body was in hibernate mode. From an overnight travel I already slept like almost 10 hours.  Then when I got home, I slept again, after lunch and dinner I slept. You can call me now the sleeping beauty but I don't have beauty, just  sleeping woman. HAHAHAHA.

2. Spending Time With Family

We spent time together by dining and watching movies. My sisters and I went to the city, bought something as their graduation gift. Yeah, I knew, I'm such a very lovable and generous ate in the world, aw hahahah.

3. Spending Time With Cousins

When I'm home, I always have time to visit them to chikka, eat and play with the little ones.


4. Cooking My Favorite Dish

Ginisang Shrimps
Kinilaw Shrimps




























5. Playing Volleyball With Friends

No gym, no yoga, no problem! Volleyball makes me sweaty and feel like losing kilos of fats. It is more than working out in the gym and having a lot of fun.
The court is very near our house so when 3pm is coming, that's the time I have to go outside and settle with friends to play together.

6. Going Church on Easter Sunday

My sister and mom didn't witnessed the most festive event, the 'Sugat'. It is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead and done it in the dawn. Since we didn't wake up early, we just attended the 7am mass.

To wrap up everything, I got plenty of rest and was able to do some of my loved things. How about yours? How did you spend your holy week? Comment below because I really love to hear that.

The Highlights of My Year 2019

Image
A new year is about to start and we have nothing to do with but welcome it with open arms. We have this year that we are gently closing, leaving behind those great memories. A year full of different and amazing experiences. We met a lot of people who became part of our-lives to make this year a fulfillment one or the other way around. And learning from the reality has become the biggest lesson we've got and because of it, we are making every single action to outcome it better. I always thought that this day would come. I mean, we all knew that a new year will always come. I would like to say, "Goodbye 2019, Hello 2020!".  But before anything else, I am writing this content to share with you what were my challenges and experiences during the year of 2019.  I was like a soldier entering 2019 without a weapon. I started the year without a stable job hoping to have a new beginning to somewhere else. While waiting for the papers to be okay, I worked as a freelance s...

Camotes Islands Trip

Image
2017 was a year full of travels with friends, family and the love of my life. This year, I got a chance to travel again. Due to hectic schedule I haven't prepared our itinerary. I did some research where to go and it led me to go to Camotes Islands, specifically the town of San Francisco . Actually, I have been there already, I think it was a year ago. It was just a one day travel and had an overnight camping at Santiago Bay. This is my second time visiting the island and I still love how it is now.  The beach in Santiago is still open for public, glad that it wasn't acquired yet.  Unlike with some known islands, some  struggling with a sewerage problem, some became crowded and polluted.  Camotes is still a fresh, beautiful and amazing island. An island worth to visit. So, here are the highlights of our trip in Camotes Islands. 1. Caving Paraiso Cave      Note:  Entrace fee is 40.00 each.      Timubo Cav...

How Travel Changed My Life

Image
What sort of traveller would you say you are? A person who ventures due to a broken heart or just trinkets and happily making a new place has to offer? These days, travel is the most talked expression of the society and has completely changed the souls of everybody.  I am a dreamer. A dreamer of so many things since the day my way of thinking is maturing. When I was in my primary years I wanted to become a nurse. During secondary years, I aimed to graduate and study in a precious university for my college. Tertiary, I wanted to graduate with honours and find a stable job so that I could give back help to my family.  What am I today? I am currently working as a software developer, a travel and lifestyle blogger, and an explorer. To travel wasn't really in my passion before, not until I met new friends. They were the one who became my second family, food and travel buddies. That was during college days, our first best summer trip was happened at Coco Palms Resort, Da...
