Life's Thrills

What makes life more exciting? 

Beer? 

Coffee? 

Job? 

Money? 

Boyfriend/girlfriend? 

Adventures?

For me, apart from the bondings with my family, friends, and loved ones, here's the top ten (10) things that thrill my life even more:

#1 Travels

One of my investments in life. 😅

I always believe that experience is the best way to understand the world and the life in it. I cannot think of anything else that will make my whole being flutters to the moon and back, but traveling. 

I come back home penniless after a travel, but the memories and new experiences it brings are priceless. No regrets at all. 

#2 Reading 

There goes the usual saying... "Reading is my religion."

Definitely, I can stay at home for days or weeks just to read books and novels. That's why, the lockdown due to pandemic didn't affect me much.hehe 

I have collections of books, pocketbooks and novels that are so valuable to me that if you want to ask one I'd better give you money.😬 Joke! I don't have money. 

 

*One time in my English class, I covered the pocketbook with our English book so I could read it even in the class.😆 Bad...

#3 Beaches, waterfalls, and snorkeling 

Yes, I am both an indoor and outdoor person. ☺️

I lost count how many beaches, islands, and islets I have visited, explored, and enjoyed, but I have never lost my appetite for them. Hahaha Ironically, I don't know how to swim. 😳 I was almost drowned in a spring when I was fourteen, and that was the beginning of my fear of deep water.

However, that fear doesn't stop my love for snorkeling. So, what i do? I always snorkel with someone who's really good at swimming.😄 

Sa waterfalls naman, I enjoy it the most with friends especially when it is not famous and only few people know the area. Ka creepy man kasi if ako lang maga lakad sa kakahuyan o kabundukan, then pag dating sa site baka dalawa o tatlo lang kami dun. Hahaha Di bah? 

#4 Mountain Climbing/Trekking

I just realized how wonderful mountain climbing/trekking is when I was able to fight my fear of heights. After that, every climb/trek has been surreal. 

Being on top of the mountain makes me feel like I am wonder woman. Haha

I am not a pro though, I haven't climbed/trekked for more than 3hours (one way). However, my goal this year is to climb Mt. Capuas in Taytay, Palawan. I've heard that the ascent and the descent will be approximately 8 hours in total, so that will be more than my usual trek. Good luck to me! I'll share that to you if I could make it. Hehe 

#5 Writing

I've always loved writing since high school that's why i love pens, notebooks and stationeries.☺️

Yes, I am an old school. 😊

 

Surely, the love of writing pushed me to start blogging. I had my first blog 8 or 9 years ago, but due to some reasons I forgot the password of my blogging churvaness, until I got sick and completely stopped. But here I am again, exploring the world of blogging for the second time. Hehe

* I am thinking of exploring vlogging but I have no confidence yet. 😁

#6 Online shopping 

Who doesn't like online shopping?!? 😂 

I've been an online shopper for 16 years. I am not into shopping in the malls. Tamad kaayo ko ana! I can walk for more than 2 hours in a forest, but not in a shopping mall.😆 Before  Lazada, Shopee, Alibaba, etc., I shopped on Friendster. Yes, Friendster, the very popular Friendster before  Facebook dominated the world. Hahaha 

#7 Drama Series

Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Turkish, Spanish, Mexican, English, Thai,....... I like them all!😄 

I believe many can relate this even Filipino celebrities. Hahaha Well, especially KDramas, they have really touched the hearts of the Filipinos just like KPop. (I am not into KPop, though.😁) 

#8 Photos

I am not a pro in taking photos, but I love taking and collecting photos. I also collect photos of my travels (very precious). I remember when my brother accidentally deleted all the photos in the camera that  weren't saved yet in the hard drive, I had been crying the whole night.😭😅) 

My favorite subject is nature, and my gallery and hard drive are already complaining. Haha 

#9 Sunset watching 

Sunset lover here! 😍

Definitely, I am so glad I am living in the western area of Palawan, but I don't get to watch the sunset every day. I also have another life aside from sunset watching oi. Hehehe Truly, my eyes are like this "😍" when I see sunsets. :) 

#10 Rice, Bread, Chocolates and Pizza

Haaayyyy... It's so hard to imagine life without these four! Huhuhu

*The best pizza for me is in Maharaja Restaurant located in Ao Nang, Krabi, Thailand.  I can eat their one whole 14" pizza in one sitting. Hehehe

* I love breads, but Danish bread is perfect!🤤 

There is a Danish bakery in Krabi town. The owner/ baker is pure Danish. Omgeee I miss their bread.huhuhu I can't imagine how fantastic it would be if I could go to Denmark and have a bakery hopping.🤤😅

Ohhh by the way, I'm not into cookies, but Danish cookies are fine with me. 

How about you? What makes your life more thrilling? 

I would be very glad to know and read yours.☺️

Until then.. Stay safe and healthy! 🙏 ❤️
