ambience is everything...

It's already 7:36 pm and I'm still at the office.. not because I am forced to do so but because I choose to be here.. I've already done my day's work hours ago but I'm still here because I need to write an article for our company newsletter. I just signed up and this would be my first writing assignment. I've been trying to get it done but I keep losing my momentum and I end up delaying it for later..

I still have not finished it and I just needed to get away from it for a while so I decided to write an entry on my blog.. Hoping this will get me psyched to finish my article..

Ambience is everything. This is the third trinket of wisdom that I want to put in writing. And yes, it is true, ambience really is everything.

It came to me during lunch through the comments of my officemates. I had heated my lunch, cleaned my utensils, prepared everything on the table, got ready to eat but not before I played music thru my phone for apetite enhancement purposes. And then that's when they told me, "ambience huh!" And yes, it hit me, I just had to have the right ambience for me to enjoy my lunch. I never would have had it otherwise!

Lunch was perfect! I had (thank goodness!) chosen a dish that was good and enjoyable! I had an egg dish and dried fish on the side and ofcourse, rice is never out of the picture!

For the benefit of those who have no idea what dried fish is, its a common favorite here in the land called the Philippines. Its just ordinary fish, salted and dried under the heat of the sun. It is a abit salty but you're supposed to dip it in vinegar or eat it with tomatoes to balance out the saltiness and. It is by the way, one of my favorite things to eat in the whole wide world!!! I'd trade pork and chicken to dried fish anytime!!! If there were chillies, it would have been lunch heaven!!

And yes, the food was perfect too but what made it even more perfect was the ambience. I had good food on my table, I sat in a lotus pose (a sitting position I am very much fond of when I am just hanging and doing nothing..) and I had music playing in the background. What could be more perfect, huh??

Just so you know, after that hearty lunch, I couldn't stop burping... That's how extremely pleasant my lunch was.. I was full and I mean really full. I had iced tea too! A real thirst quencher!

I think I gotta go home now though because the ambience right now is not very conducive to writing anymore... Its way too late and I'm the only one here.. My mind is a way too powerful tool to play with during this time of night.. So I think I'll finish my article when the ambience is just right.. hehehe..

Ambience really is everything, huh!

Last Splash for Summer 2015: Busay Holiday Pools

Image
It is almost the end of summer or has it ended yet considering the rains have been pouring heavily for the last few days? But just because it is almost the start of classes, doesn't mean you still can't have just a little bit of summer fun, right? That's what we did at Busay Holiday Pools yesterday with the Endoma clan and it seriously was a great "huling hirit sa tag-init!" It was actually my second time there and every time I'm there, it always leaves a good feeling in me - although definitely tiring but in a good way! haha.. Ever since I discovered the place, I've been recommending the place to pretty much everyone asking for a nice summer get-away! The clan was supposed to to go the beach and good thing they changed their minds because we sure had great fun! If the clan didn't have plans to go there, we would have gone only the three of us ( me, my hubby and our little boy) because for some reason, every weekend after we were the...

National Holiday: Pinoy Native Games Day 2014! :-)

Image
If I could implement and declare 1 national holiday, it would be called “Pinoy Native Games Day” and it would require everyone to stop whatever they are doing to play the native games we used to play and celebrate it. When I was a kid, the only games we would normally play were ones that required other people’s participation and the best place to be in was always outdoors. Right now, most kids are just glued to their computers, phones and whatever gadget and prefer to be in the comforts of their own room as opposed to getting all sweaty under the heat of the sun. Today, I am celebrating that national holiday (albeit without an approval from the Philippine government)… Happy Pinoy Native Games Day to all! And in the spirit of this celebration, here are the Pinoy games that we so loved before but have been forgotten by the newer generations… Sungka This game is usually played indoors and requires 2 players to move a number of “sigay” (cowry) shells in an ...
