By the Beach

Would you like to wed by the beach? If you are already married, would you like to renew your marriage vows as the sun is about to set, casting a warm glow where you and your loved one are standing before thee people who matter most to you?

I am sure, a lot of women out there have this as a perfect wedding setting. While they are walking down the red carpet on powdery soft white sand wearing  their shiny emerald engagement rings, their best smiles and gowns that highlight the intense workouts before the big day, they would forever cherish these wonderful moments.

Beach

Yes, married life can be like a fairytale especially if both the man and the woman are ready.

Wait till the babies come though, LOL.

Drizzles

I love it when it drizzles. If, however, the drizzling becomes stronger, that is another story.

Drizzles

When we took a scenic mountaintop road trip a few weeks ago, it was slightly drizzling. It was no surprise to see the highway devoid of vehicles with bike racks on the roofs.

This road is a favorite of bikers and motorcycle riders. It is also one of the highways used for music videos, photos shoot for cars and even tv ads with road trips scenes.

We’ve been to this place several times but we never seem to get tired of going there.

Rainy Field Trip

Rain could be fun or not, depending on what you are doing and where you are. In this case, the rains came when the 3rd graders on a field trip were walking to where the animals can be seen in a zoo. They did enjoy walking in the drizzle all right but there was this bit of worry that they will get sick.

After the rains, they got to feed fish in a man-made lagoon.

Rainy Field Trip

It used to be that rains especially drizzles are something we look forward to especially when we are able to take beautiful photos like this yellow flower and this orange flower both taken from this particular field trip.  I still do look forward to  and welcome drizzles except when it does, MegaManila becomes one big parking lot. Ugh.

Glad my daughter didn’t get sick when it rained during this field trip.

Please take time to listen to a music video of “Kiss the Rain” by Yiruma currently one of my favorites:

Magnificent View

It’s another long weekend for us, this being the Hari-Raya Eid-Raya Eid-ul-Adha of our Muslim brothers.

This week’s going to be busy especially with the hubby who is going to be swamped with work because of missed workdays. As it was, last night he worked late on details about the purchase of new material handling equipment.

With the kids still in bed I am filing away photos to ready this laptop for more pictures to be taken in the coming days. I am particularly drawn to this photo taken last Monday when we had a little out of town roadtrip:

mountain range

There is something wonderful that we experience when we are looking at magnificent natural wonders. The little things we see as problems compare nothing to this scene.

When we went back home we definitely missed this view.

EAT Danao Suislide

EAT (Extreme Adventure Tours) Danao suislide.

EAT Danao suislide

That’s the hubby on his way to the other side of the zip line. I took the photo because I was next in line. Between the two mountains is a river. Yes, you can look down if you want, but better be prepared to be surprised because your are high above the trees (several trees put one on top of another, to give you an idea) and might experience dizzy spells. 200 meters high, that’s what I read. Or was it 200m long? :D

Not a good idea to feel bad if you are way up there with just a harness tied to a cable holding you up. Not a good idea if you are doing another extreme adventure: THE PLUNGE <- MUST.CLICK.THAT.LINK

To go back to the other side means to go up a higher elevation before going down on another zip line. No, I don’t think you can say “no” to that since that’s the ONLY way you can go back to your friends who didn’t do the zip line.

I love, love, love the zip line and if given the chance, I would go back and do it again. And again.
