Doing good:)

I've been travelling this past month and have not been on the forum as I would like. I'm back now though. I've enjoyed my time away as it's always nice to just getaway from it all and take time to reflect on life. It's refreshing too to see the beautiful places here in the Philippines. The Philippines is a big place and my goal is to see as much of the Philippines as I can.

I went to San Pablo near Laguna which is about 2 hours away from Manila. We took the whole family to visit family from my mom's side. It was beautiful there and we even spent a day hiking up a mountain. Everyone thought we were crazy and if you saw the mountain we climbed you would think so too. It took us about 2 hours to climb it and it was rough at times. I wanted to give up at one point but knew that once we reached the top it was going to be worth it and it was. It was very beautiful up there. I took lots of pictures and you could see everything up there including the bay.

I also took a trip to Laoag which is in Ilocos Norte and it was  absolutely pretty there too. A lot of land and farms and also there was a beach. I went with some friends and I really enjoyed myself. I loved the beach the most and I even got a nice tan:)

As far as my fitness and health is concerned I am still eating healthy. There is a gym that just opened two blocks from my house and I have joined it so that I can incorporate more weights in my exercise routine. It's not air conditioned but I actually like not having the air because you can really sweat it out and it's good to sweat. Besides, it's only Php 200 a month so it's inexpensive and it gets the job done which is all that matters. They have a scale there too so I get to weigh myself. My weight yesterday was 108 so I'm pretty happy with that.
