Dreaming of Aurora

One of the things included in my bucket list is to see an aurora. I’m just not quite sure whether thing might even be possible considering that it’s occurrence cannot be exactly pinpointed and that it can be seen on countries quite far from mine.

But one can’t simply give up one’s dream. I’m hoping that one day I’ll have that chance without me exactly spending for the trip. Until that day, this will remain in my bucket list.

Morning Rituals

Mornings are definitely still cold in the Philippines. If you are in the habit of taking a regular morning swim, pray that the facility have electric pool heaters. If they have none, I suggest you take the plunge at a later time just to give the water time to warm up.

Sadly for me, I don’t have access to any swimming facility so in lieu of this, I plan of doing yoga poses. This is in the hope of improving my posture and shedding a few pounds. Will try to study a few poses later tonight.

Child’s Play

We are half way through the weekend and I can’t help but reminisce on the game I used to play when I was still a kid… a time were computer games are yet to exist. I spend my afternoons playing on the streets with other neighborhood kids. We ran, hide, and seek. Showed off our yomega or played with bottle caps.

Life was much simpler then. A time were kid need no large some of money to buy electronic toys to keep him entertained. It was a time were socializing was real and not powered by the internet. How I wish things remained the same.

Easy on A Sunday Morning

What could be better than waking up on a cold morning after a long and good night of sleep? A cup of good coffee that goes with it. This will surely make my day. Such good vibes will definitely last the whole day through with an airpot filled with coffee.

I love a slow morning. A moment when you can just savor every minute without worrying on being late for work or doing daily chores. It relaxes the mind and provides and opportunity to contemplate on life. Truly, something to be thankful for.

Dream House

What is your ideal house?

I just saw an early episode of Chuck Season 5 where Chuck was trying to find a house to purchase as a gift for Sarah. He was looking for all things grand but as it turns out, Sarah’s dream house was just a very simple one.

As for me, I want a well ventilated one. A structure that includes wood as an element and is not pure concrete. Some rooms with a laminate floor while some I prefer to be carpeted. I also want it to be spacious. A place that can hold a goo number of people during gatherings for special occasions.

Hopefully, this dream will come true.

It’s Not About The Price Tag

Just when you thought that the gift-giving season is done, Valentine’s is now just around the corner. You will soon find yourself scouting for that perfect gift to give to your perfect special someone. It is sad however that at time, people tend to relate the measure of one’s love with the gift’s price tag.

Personally, expensive gifts does not translate to great love. The most significant gifts for me are those well thought off – simple yet meaningful ones. It may be yummy gifts like your favorite desserts or a shoe that you’ll really fancy. A person who really loves is someone who knows you well enough to give the simplest of gift that will will bring the greatest of joy.

Job That You Can Love

Finding a job can be real pain. Finding ANY job might be difficult in itself and so a person must be thankful if we manages to land in a job that can he can be happy with. Yes, everybody definitely wants a large salary but for me, that comes in second. I do not find work appealing if the people I work with are difficult people. That would make me want to step out of the door as early as nine ‘o clock in the morning.

For 2012, I do hope that jobseekers find their dream job. It does not matter if you’re an accountant, an engineer, or a person seeking Geneticist Jobs, my wish goes out to all of you. Happy job hunting!

Bucket List: Mount Pulag

One of the item in my bucket list is to be able to reach the summit of Mt. Pulag in Benguet. However, I do not see myself capble of doing that for this year. Hopefully in two to three more years.

I have zero knowledge when it comes to mountain hiking and I have this impression that hiking gears are quite pricey. So I am planning to probably build up my gears one by one. Starting with the bag, shoes, and fleece jackets at RockyMountainTrail.com. I will definitely be needing to prepare myself physically as well since hiking Mt. Pulag is no walk in the park. I will have to do more cardios first.

Car Diagnostics

I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to machine troubleshooting, particularly with car problems. That is why when there is something off with the car when Im driving it, I cannot pinpoint if the origin of the problem is with the thrust bearings or any definite parts even if I spend ten thousand years analyzing it. An expert is definitely needed.

Last Friday, we brought the car to a mechanic and he said that there is a problem with the contacts of a sensor something that makes it difficult for the car when changing gears. The car will be brought back to the dealer on Tuesday and if that is really the problem, the man is definitely amazing in car diagnostics.

Welcome 2012

Happy new year guys!

I have been miserably failing in meeting my resolutions for the last two years and because of that, I wasn’t that keen in making one for this year. But we’ll see, it’s never too late to make one after all. Despite that, I will definitely want to shed some pounds and trim down my waist. Goodluck to me.

Our family welcomed the 2012 with a few firecrackers and fountains last night. We also did some photo light painting using sparkles. Hopefully, 2012 will be a better year for us all.
