The Cosmopolitan Chick is going home

First and foremost, I am not a chick (if  your definition of chick is sexy and head turner - just saying). I just can't think of a better title, so there you go.

I am enjoying my life in the city but lately my feet are itching to go home so I filed for a vacation leave and guess what....................drum rolls.........................IT WAS APPROVED!

this is home, the hot air balloons,

the giant lanterns every Christmas,

and the air bases.

This wasn't a pure vacation because the real intent of this leave is for me to rest and free my mind of the stress we endure everyday in the office. Don't get me wrong. I love my job and the work is really easy if you love what you're doing but everyone deserves a break and this is my time to shine.

There goes with this escapade leave is a long list of things to do:

1.  Bonding time with my family

2. To catch up with some old goody antique friends (yes antique, cause were friends since      
      elementary).

3.  Visit the old place where we used to live and see how it goes now.

4.  Witness my niece breathtaking graduation ceremony (yup, I'll post about it later).

5.  Do some hiking.

6.  Jog around the park

7.  More practice on riding the motorcycle.

8.  Relax and Rest

9.  Finished the first phase of making a webpage ( i'm serious folks, so help me God. I was 
      kinda dreaming about tags, html, syntax and everything).

10.Be back in time for the fun run.
11. and so on and so forth, etc.......

I have to prepare my self for a longer list of escapades and work  when I come back.  You see it's just a month now and it will be my birthday and I am hoping to do more things so that I could accept that another year will be added to my number and my number is aging for a good reason with right purpose and with substance.

I'll try to visit and read your posts but I won't make any promises. I'll catch up with you as soon as I'm back to civilization but I scheduled one question post for you guys. 

Till then, Ciao for now.

I'm Dying

Yes, "I'm Dying", dying to go home.....! Gotcha! (Sorry for scaring you guys, I just finished reading an article on how to catch the readers attention  through your post title....FORGIVE ME)

The boss announces that the out of town trip will not be pushed through this weekend due to conflicts on his schedules. The whole gang as expected were sadden by that fact, given that everyone was so excited and looking forward into it. I myself already had visions on how everything would go on. Can you imagine a spree for the weekend after long months of stress and busy days? So refreshing isn't it? What a good way to unload the heavy baggage of our minds but nonetheless, we can't do something about it and the best way is to find for other alternatives that will lighten the mood.

People around here have their own families with them so weekend is not really a big deal and they're looking forward to it. But as for me, alone in the apartment all the time, weekend is not a good time. I just spend the spare time sleeping, reading and watching movies - what a routine! So I was thinking why not go home in the province and visit my family. Taking pictures of the old church in the barrio as well as the river and trees are on my plans too. Going home is something that I look forward to. Family would gather in the house but that would also mean I should have enough money for the transportation and other stuffs. I have enough spare to spend from the last cut-off /paycheck. Next payday wouldn't be advisable because that is the schedule for paying the rent for the apartment. So I am thinking of grabbing the opportunity. It's now or never!!! But that would also mean the bank account will not be fed this time.

this is the old church I am telling you - they are preserving it so I wanted to see the renovations.

If ever I would be able to go home, I would spend the rest of my time there to take some pictures and ponder on things. So guys sorry if I couldn't catch up with your blogs, but I'll bring you some good news on Monday. Enjoy your weekend and happy blogging.
