Walking Path

I love walking especially on walking paths and trails. I have yet to test my new pair of shoes because I haven’t used it more than twice yet, especially for long distance walking.

Walking Path

Walking is one of the more inexpensive exercise. This should be encouraged in residential areas and I’m am sure moms and dads with baby jogger strollers will definitely welcome the idea of having walking paths where they live.I know I do, so we won’t have to travel somewhere else just to have a good place to walk.

And yes, more often than not, travel time becomes the excuse to not go at all.

Jan12: Tree-Lined Street

jan12

Jan12, 2012. It was not a really long and busy day today but both the hubby and I agreed we feel more tired than usual. Still there are many things to be grateful for today like…

* an order of 50% sugar and less ice pearl milktea ;-)

* being able to go home early and without difficulties

* a possible good role for the son for their drama club’s play in March

* the eldest child selected to dance the Cotillion for their prom (mygaz i still cant believe it. The prom!)

* trees that are still here giving shade and making the world look nicer. (if only SM in Baguio City will respect the trees there then it would even be nicer)

I still have some tasks to do and after that Sherlock’s The Hounds of Baskerville can finally be watched. I hope I will finish this and not sleep on it like last night.

I hope I can dream about how good it will be in 2050 :)

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.

Traffic

Ushering in the BER months mean traffic, traffic and more traffic as people flock to malls like moths attracted to a burning candle.

traffic

I’m sure a lot of responsible car-owners have started doing tune-ups with their cars to avoid any
inconveniences because I’m seeing car lifts that are full in auto service centers during weekends.

As for us, our ride needs tuning up, a new set of wheels, a re-painting job and a whole lot more of that what-not.

Kaching-kaching.
