It was still the second day of the week and I decided to take a day off. I think it was a great way to break my routine. I make it a point to do something different at least every month so I won’t feel like I’m a robot. :)
I woke up at 4:30 am – too early for someone who took a day off.  I was surprised that my sister was awake and greeted me. Oh well! Thanks, yok. 

The sports complex at dawn

This is where I spent my “ME” time on my special day. I was expecting to see a lot of joggers that day but glad to know there were only few. It wasn’t crowded and the weather really cooperated. Yey! :)

 early morning taho 

I didn’t stay long at the sports complex. I got hungry after my brisk walking  so I decided to go home and look for something to eat. Chadaaaan! Taho for my breakfast. But of course, knowing that I have a big appetite it didn’t satisfy me so I ate a full meal afterwards. :)

And so I spent my day alone in my room. I think I got more than what I asked for. Hihihi. I stayed at home and waited for the NBA game on TV but it turned out that the game schedule was still on the following day. Crap.  I was waiting for nothing.

across the miles

Then at noon I received the call I've been waiting for. :) The flowers also made my day extra special. Yipee!


with Irish and Che

Later that day, my friends came home from work. Irish and I went to the grocery store to buy some food and Che helped us cook the food. It wasn't grandious but still it was special. *wink*

 officially twenty four

Being alone doesn't mean being lonely. :)  Sure, there are a lot of ways to spend the holidays that are more glamorous and raucous. I have tried some of them, but then again I find it simple and  far more satisfying to have a quiet "ME" time. 

It was getting late and I still need to wake up early the next day.  I just can't thank HIM enough for giving me a lot of blessings. Special thanks to everyone who remembered my day. I will try to keep all your wishes close to my heart. :)

Under the Sea

Sunday is supposed to be my rest day. A lazy day. But since my student invited me to go to the beach, I didn't say No. Anyway, we're going to the beach baby. A beach bum, I am. :)




Portofino Resort's Entrance

There were a lot of people when we arrived at the resort. It was expected because it's Sunday. We chose an area to stay under the tree.

The sea breeze was just so cool and relaxing. It took away all my negativities and made me appreciate life even more. The water was also inviting. I hurriedly applied a sunscreen lotion because I know I just can't refuse it. :)

 Kayak-like boat

After having our lunch, we decided to try their Aquanaut. We were given a few instructions and tips before going underwater. A safety vest was also provided for us because we have to be transported by a small boat to reach the bigger one.

 I feel like a mermaid. :)

Feeding the fishes.

Today is just all about happiness. Exploring a new place, being with new people, and trying to live in a different world - a world underwater. Plus, I finally got the chance to see Nemo for real!!! Yipee! :)

I don't have any regrets even if I failed to watch the live game of my favorite NBA team.This is just more than what I asked for. I'm happy that I got another thing crossed out from my bucket list.

Happiness. :)
