time to decompress
this will be the last entry before we go on holiday and such perfect timing to be asked to answer these questions:
What are the things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play?
since i moved to germany, i’ve learned to appreciate the value of having some time alone. i could spend it just walking aimlessly, be it in a park, some woods, or even in the busy streets downtown. i’ve learned how to be “alone” even in the midst of people. i enjoy simply sitting somewhere and watching people. or sit in a cofee shop and savor every drop of a cup of capuccino. pity that we don’t have a garden; i would’ve probably enjoyed getting my knees and fingers grubby with muck.
What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level?
in no particular order: SLEEP, sunshine, bubble bath, the scent of roses, chocolate, writing, the sound of the sea, spending quality time with the family
i won’t tag anybody else. if you get to read this, and feel like answering the same q’s, go ahead and do so. leave me a note so i know, ok?
in her recent blog entry, jadevine asked whether stay-at-home moms need days-off. i’ll skin anybody who dares to answer no, hehe… in fact, i’m not only taking a day off, i’m taking a whole two weeks vacation with the family. doesn’t mean that i’ll cease to be a mom during these two weeks, but at least i won’t be staying home, hah!
see you in two weeks!
meanwhile, happy birthday singapore, and more about aging.

I go to the mall and just window shop. I try new things by myself like riding the MRT, trying new restaurants, visiting new malls (you know naman here sa Pinas parang mall capital of the world). Sometimes, I go to Powerbooks and stay there longer to read some books (pwede kasi ito doon, free pa parang library na rin).
What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level?
Well, listening to music and eating ice cream and chocolates (wahhhhh, kaya lang nakaka-stress naman pag nakita mo sarili mo sa mirror na ga-balyena na sa lapad). Isa pa, super telebabad to ease stress and anxiety. Full body massage din sa spa. At siempre pasyal to the max with my family.
Happy trip, Ruth and enjoy your vacation! Sarap naman talaga!
