1. Finally found a name for my blog. (After procrastinating for so long).
Still getting used to this. I was encouraged by a dear friend to start a blog a long while back. But back then, I was hesitant because there is really nothing to write as my life is really boring. I hate politics, am not a fashionista (recesionista, maybe), tend to confuse Robert Deniro with Al Pacino, craft-blocked most of the time, so what on earth could I write about?
I do not get those blogs where its writers tries to project to the netizen, an 'image' of themselve quite contrary to what they actually are in the real world. Especially if they claim that they are trying to capture and blog about their lives. I am drawn to those blogs, that does an honest self search and post reverting soul searching questions. Maybe that is what I am trying to do as well. So, if I am to start one, it has got to be the real me. (All the good, the bad and the ugly bits) Ok, enough with the deep stuff.
2. Went for a trip with the cousins.
This is the first time that we went out with these two cousins (without our parents, in tow). I used babysit and changed their diapers when they were babies and what a feeling it was to be able to go on a road trip with them as young adults.
3. Rode an Elephant
I finally knew how elephant skin felt like.. I expected the wrinkly bits, but not their bristley fuzz. When watching them on TV, I always wondered how their trunk would feel like, but I did not get to touch them. But riding on one, oh, how you would swaaayed to the left and swaaaayed to the right. You should try it! It's fun!
4. Had an eagle perched on my wrist.
I am not a bird person (at all, period). But this one was so beautiful, I just had to have a picture taken with it.
5. Brought hubby to Lookout Point
I raved about this place so much till it bored him. When I finally brought him there, he finally understood what the big deal was all about.
This was totally unplanned and unexpected. But I had a wonderful time with my colleagues (no spouse). We spent so much time in the office together under the 'proffesional' circumstances. To be able to spend time with them on friendly basis was really wonderful. You get to know them better too when you had to share one bathroom and stuff.
7. Snorkeled
I had not swam for so long, I had to re-learn my dog-paddle strokes. Thanked the Good Lord for life jacket too. It sure helped one to float when one was too tired to dog-paddle to get a glimpse of the corals which is just less than 40 meters from the beach.
8. Parasailed.
This has got to be the highlight for the first half of this year. I am so happy that I managed to confront my fear of heights and can finally cross 'Parasail' from my bucket list. I have always felt dizzy when I am at high places. Surprisingly enough, being up on that parasail, felt quite calming. I felt like a kite. And I loved it.(Maybe it was the life jacket and sea below. If it was the ground/trees/building, I might tell a different story)
I will do this again the next time the chance came along. (And again, and again, and again)
Ok, so that's my highlight and update for the first half of this year. There are of course still many 'frontiers' I have yet to explore. So far, though, I pat my own back, for challenging myself to do things I would normaly would not do.
*Planning what to do for the next half*
