Forest Park - Dahilayan

Image
Finally, the day has come! We had pushed through in our outing!!! I had a great time in our team outing at Forest Park, Dahilayan. The weather is great!It was a sunny morning when we traveled last Saturday. We arrived around 10am and It was my first time there so I wasn't expecting the weather is chilly in the morning. Just imagine the coldness during nighttime. One thing I love is the view, I had fun taking photos as well. The place is like a paradise. However, we never got the chance to ride the zipline and buggy ride huhu. The next day, rain came pouring down on earth, it was visibility zero due to the thick fogs and it was super duper cold!To my surprise there were still people who are brave enough to went for a ride on the zipline. How I wish I could go back there. bright and sunny weather on our first day! Early evening in Dahilayan. Our second day. panorama shot :D

Dear Rain

It has been raining buckets for almost two weeks now. The Tropical Depression Agaton is moving slowly due to high pressures. I’m missing the warmth of sunlight and this cold weather is making me idle. The other week had passed and I missed to create my weekly challenge due to my busy schedule at work. Our team is planning to have a team outing at Dahilayan however due to the bad weather it was moved next weekend. I definitely have no problem in this kind of weather, but 2 weeks of rain is really dreadful. Landslides here and there, people evacuating due to river rising, storm surge in bay areas and floods everywhere you turn. I prayed and hope that this bad weather will stop already; it hinders people’s businesses and work. Dear rain, can you please stop now? yes, they won't. image source: http://chibird.com/post/32085669004/even-though-you-might-go-through-some-gloomy

The thing is I only drink shake once a day. 2. Just 3tbsp of Rice - I did this!! but not a 100%. Last Sunday, I had a date with my boyfriend so I have two scoops of Rice in Tokyo-Tokyo haha! 90% completed the challenge cause I cheated for just a day. 3. Eat fruit twice a day - well, maybe 80% completed. We don't have enough fruits. No fruits by week-end. 4. Go back to Cardio Exercise -  80% failed! I had cardio for just two days in a row.   it was raining and the weather makes me idle . 5. No Sodas for this week. Just plain water or tea - 100% NO SODAS!!! Yay!!

Not so Vintage

I was searching for gangnam sytle cover in youtube and look what I've found! The song cover is amazing!! They are so freaking awesome!!!! I love their rendition and arrangement of the song. It was really vintage, not to mention I adore the 1920s fashion. Do you agree? They have plenty of cover songs with a vintage twist on it. I was totally having fun listening to it. The video below was a song cover from Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop. Have fun! hehe

Challenges and Changes for 2014

This is my first post for 2014. I was thinking of, no- not New Year’s resolutions rather I want to challenge my-self every month. I was inspired by Zen Habit’s post to create 12 changes for this year.  Well, it says that you have to make one change at a time for maximum effectiveness.  So it would be one change per month and that would be exactly 12 changes for this year. I was thinking though what would be these changes I want to achieve. He suggested some changes on his blog and that’s very helpful. It provided me ideas on how to start this challenge uhmm starting this month. Read more Books – I would love to start this one by reading book series. I have plenty of books here at home. I purchased them last year. I honestly hoard books for pleasure. I mean, they are one of my guilty pleasures. I just can’t stop buying them. Be financially literate – that means I should be reading finance book from now on. Actually, I bought two financial books. I should be working ser
