Plot Twist: Where to Next Life Adventure?

I am starting to "falling out of love in the city I am living right now." It makes me feel sad about it. It was ten years ago when I felt love at first sight when I started my college. Just like being in a relationship, you have to get to know the place and discover more of it, good or bad you have to accept it and love it.

I have grown up in the city where life is balance: busy city life with work and go to the beach or an island get away for a weekend. Until I get feel comfortable about this life and started to go places out of the city. I started two years ago. We need space sometimes.

Last year I was in a "go to places you want to go" feeling. Let's not do the math show of all my expenses because we all know the formula of work hard, play harder!

Life between Departure and Arrival

I always leave the city every month and felt like I was infected by travel bug and itching to go somewhere. There were times that I had to re-book my tickets whenever it's time to go back home because I wanted to stay longer. I enjoy delayed flights and waiting game for the aircraft to arrived. I love how the air traffic cradles me up on air for 30 minutes before landing too. (That's the new feature ride, when will amusement park rides?)

As much as possible I always check-in happy and light, but sometimes I had excess baggage with me. So when there's nothing goes right, I scream: PLOT TWIST! ( This would be my category when I will write about something personal.) 

HOW-TO-DEAL-WITH-THIS-FEELING? 

This is when we will play Brian McKnight's song: Back At One - let's go back to start, let's see if it will work. 

Get Busy

Not Sean Paul saying this to me. As much as I'd like to get rid of the word "busy" I think it is the right word to say to friends when I can't make it whenever they invite me to go out (wait, who's inviting me?) 

I started to go out for an hour jogging every afternoon and once a week Muay Thai to clear my mind from stress and work. (That one minute freestyle punches and kicks, was for you. ) 

Working after my day work is not new to me. I know that if I work harder, I can give myself time to play harder too! Spell: Travel. (You can follow me on SnapChat: jewelclicks) 

Expand your Network (of Friends) 

I joined social activity last January and met new people that became my friends in Facebook? HAHAHA, but keeping each other after the event is the hardest part. They are also busy with their own lives you know. 

Blogging events can help me interact and catch up with friends in blogger-sphere and exchange new updates with each other. 

I also find Business meetings challenging and interesting I feel like I'm a different person when it comes to conversation and dealing with them. I think I need more improvements with this.

Plan Ahead

There are so many things going on right now. Including dealing with personal feelings that you have no choice but to move on because hey! Life goes on. It's okay to dwell on it for a week (I guess? ) then the next thing you know you are just eating your feelings away. 

I have few destinations in mind right now to go to and I'm kind of excited about it. My ultimate destinations will be on the next half of the year because I need more time to save up and work harder. Planning ahead of time is a good thing to remind myself that I have something to look forward to. It motivates me and forget about "falling out of love of this city."

What's important right now is wherever I go to other places I always come back home...

So, where to go next?

Wait!! Let me ...


Have a great day everyone!

Venice Piazza at Mckinley Hill

HELLO FEBRUARY!! 

Before I went to Manila, I've seen the viral photos of Venice Piazza Grand Canal and it took a buzz off to everyone specially it is located in Manila. I mean, how can you not get curious about it since its like Venice and Grand Mall in Macau?

One afternoon, my cousin, Eric and I visited Venice Piazza. I had to searched about it so I have an idea what's there. The mall is not yet fully operated and there are only few retaurants are opened inside the food court of Robinsons Selections. But people are not into that, main goal: take a lot of photos with this canal background.

Imagine if all the establishments are open here.

For an update this is how it looks like right now: 

I fell in love with canal! LOL 

If you want to take good photos, make sure you know how to angle your camera and where to stand. 

OR you can always make them as your background.

Ended our trip with Honey Creme Dark Salt Chocolate. Yum!

Happy New Year 2016 - Cheers!

View from 70th floor. I can't give justice, this photo has poor quality. Huhuhu

I will definitely miss 2015, but we all know that we have to move forward and make more things happened! 

As I move forward, I decided to spend my New Year's Eve here in Makati with friends. We spent our countdown at Joel's place at 70th floor! OMG! all the fireworks were really awesome! I just had to bear with my phone when the camera didn't work, (Damn it, why now?) 

Here are my not so perfect shot of video because fireworks were literally everywhere and hope I had a 360 lens so I can see record everything in one steady shot.

and this short clip I posted on my Facebook page.

Be Creative at Yexel's Toy Museum

Meet my squad!

I was so excited to travel with my sister, brother-in-law and my niece, Shanna! We went to Manila for a short trip to visit Mom and to catch up with our friends, but our ultimate goal is to visit Yexel's Toy Museum for Shanna because of Minions. :D

Early flight!

We went to Manila Ocean Park early in the morning for less number of visitors and we can go home early to avoid the traffic. Entrance fee is PHP250.

Minions class picture!

Achieved!!

"Don't play Game of Thrones me."

Invading his closet.

Having fun in his room! HAHA :D 

The toy museum is not that big, but as long as you have a lot of imaginations and creativity to pose and take photos inside you will have fun especially with your family.

Most of the photos from my brother-in-law JC Guiam
