This is officially a backlog, but I shan't not worry. I've listed down the happy things I've encountered these days and especially for this vacation-mode week, all I can say is that Life is Very Good!
Day 22 Wednesday - Beer is not my drink of choice. I hardly get it unless I don't have a choice. Beer makes me bloated, makes me go red fast and most importantly, it smells. But then again Beer is darn cheap and if I'm saving plus I really don't have a choice, I usually just get the "pa-cute" versions of flavored beer. I usually go for San Miguel Apple Flavored Beer or if I'm feeling a little bolder, I got my own personal discovery. San Miguel Premium!! This comes in a really cute green bottle and it tastes sweet enough without being too dainty.
I know it's hardly a discovery. Tons of people especially women drink this already, but it's always nice to discover things on your own. It took me one office hang out to get to know this drink that by at least now I can switch to beer when the need arises. But I'm definitely still a wine-cocktails kind of girl.
Day 23 - Thursday - I'm such in a vacation mode that I try to finish work in the first 2-3 hours so I can just day dream the whole day. Thanks to my kind of work that I can get to be flexible and strategic. Today with my colleague, we rushed to the nearest mall and had our manicure and pedicure sessions during our extended lunch time. Yes, a relaxing manicure and pedicure in the middle of a work day is a privilege (after you've finished your work) and a shallow downtime that is also equally productive. Reminds me that "my life is not so bad after all'.
Day 24 - Friday - What can I say? It's a FRIDAY, last work day of the work week and in a few hours I will now be able to experience the Deluxe Travel to Baguio! Plus, it's a pay day and my colleague Lyn and I were able to scourge through the major brands after work for some serious retail therapy. Payday, on a vacation and on a shopping spree, how can your life be any bad after that?
Day 25- Saturday - FINALLY we arrive in BAGUIO! It's one of the best Baguio welcomes ever! My hands hurt from the cold. I can see the steam from my breath. The air is crisp and it's winter wear overload. I love it! The coldness is the main reason why we're here in the first place.
Full Baguio post will be made separately.
Day 26 - Sunday - It's always a bummer to head home. That just means vacation is over and it's back to the mundane demands of work. But today, I was able to experience STRAWBERRY TAHO! In all the times I've been to Baguio, I've never tried this before. It's 20 Pesos per cup. Instead of the usual sugar syrup, they have this strawberry syrup with plump fresh strawberries. It's a welcome variant that I enjoyed.
Day 27 - Monday - Well it's back to work today. And given the fact that we had long travel times during the weekend and a quick sojourn in Baguio, we didn't feel tired at all. It was a smooth and quick transition at work and I'm very happy. I know it sucks to be back, but life is good for letting me be able to work. With work, I can get to plan and pay for my next vacation. With work, I can get to buy my simple luxuries in life. Life has a way of balancing things and rewarding work. Life is definitely excellent!
