…very long stay at the hospital, back and forth, since May of 2016.
I haven’t been in a proper mood to update, really update, since then and have become really lazy to make drafts, notes, and start on any writing since I got home the first time. A few weeks later, I was back at the hospital again, then back home after some months.. and again, back at the hospital.
While I was backreading my blog yesterday, I realized that I haven’t written anything for the month of October other than my previous post which was a semi-detailed account of my hospital staycation~. Thanks for your well wishes, everyone! Feeling better now, actually.. so-so. But I’ll try to be positive and try my best to be well. Really, really would rather not spend anymore on hospital bills. 😞
In a few weeks it’ll be December already.. oh, before that, Black Friday sales on various major US stores so money should be saved for our materialistic needs!! LOL
My blog may have been unupdated for weeks, but if you have been following me on Twitter, I have been tweeting there from time to time (especially during OTWOL hour.. on nights I’d catch it on TV). Microblogs are just easier to update.
I was in Hong Kong last week for business, not for leisure and pleasure and shopping (sadly). But I was still able to get some fun and appreciation for it… After all, free travel is still travel. I got some groceries and skincare products that aren’t available here and stayed in a nicer hotel compared to if I were to go on my own to pursue my own reasons why I am going there. 😂
My biggest takeaway from this trip was experiencing that unexpected turbulence in our flight back to Manila on Wednesday night, just a few hours before my birthday. To begin with, the weather wasn’t looking good last Monday and I was worried that the trip won’t push through, despite being a very very short visit. Thankfully we didn’t get to experience heavy rains during our stay; only drizzles, no major rainfalls or typhoons.
A month ago, I shared a photo on Facebook from the Ayala Triangle park. I wanted so badly to go there because (in the photo) it looked so nice and very inviting. Look at it, doesn’t it look warm, cozy, Christmas-y, and like.. it’s calling you to just go there and watch the light show (that happens every 30 minutes)?! Because that’s exactly how it made me feel when I saw that photo.
Shot this one as soon as we got in the area of Ayala Triangle Gardens
Got my wish granted last night. . . my friends and I finally visited this go-to attraction and I finally witnessed these lights with my very own eyes. Needless to say, it was a very exhausting experience that I lost my mood to enjoy it. 😞 But at least I still got to see it, pwede na rin. I did not expect that this place is that much far from the Ayala malls.. plus we were going to this place and to Ayala back in forth in such a hurry (we had to catch a 7:55pm showing of a movie) so it really drained my energy both to enjoy and appreciate the whole thing.
