We cannot deny the fact that a lot of people nowadays are becoming more health conscious. To top that off, a lot of companies and businesses are offering products that are also beneficial to the health.

Blog Hiatus

Hello friends! It's been a looooooooooonnnggggg time since I posted something in this blog. You may be wondering what I have been up to these past months. Well, I am now working in a new place and since then, I guess things are running quick and though I have access to the online world, it's just that I cannot find time to post something. But I just miss blogging and sharing the stuff that I've learned or experienced so I will try my very best to be able to blog as often.  

As for now, let me share some photos:

This is my new environment. ^_^

Pan de Donuts

These days, a lot of companies are competing against one another especially if it comes to food. Let's take for example the doughnut. In my country alone, big names such as Krispy Kreme, J Co, Dunkin' Donuts are just a few of companies offering and specializing in this sweet treat. Long before Krispy Kreme and J Co invaded the country, the old time favorite Dunkin' Donuts is the most popular. Now, with the presence of these other international companies, the competition is at its finest.

Last weekend, as I was passing IT Park and bought some bread in Pan de Manila, I noticed a display of cute pastry. There was this one that looks like the Alcapone of J Co. Then as I read their posters, the Pan de Donuts is the newest addition of the company. I was not able to try one, maybe next time. At Php 38 per piece, one can already have a taste of Pan de Manila's newest product.

Rope Course Conquered!

I have been to Mountain View Nature Park a lot of times already. The last time that I went there was last year after Richard's operation. When we went there, we saw this rope course and since that day, I have always been wanting to try the course. Then the day came last weekend. haha Together with Richard and our other friends, we decided to unwind in Mountain View. 

Upon arriving in the place, we immediately settled ourselves in one of the cottages. We filled our hungry stomachs, relaxed and goofed for a while.

At around 11:00 am, we started the Rope Course Challenge!

Make sure that you are wearing a comfortable outfit plus closed shoes with socks. If you are not wearing closed shoes and socks, and you really want to try the challenge, you can rent one. Before getting on the platform, we also need to sign a waiver. Then the staff will assist you in wearing and securing your harness. They will then orient you of the things that you must and musn't do.

After all the preparation, off we went! 

Level 1 - Walking (easy) :P

Me: "Ohw. This is so easy"

Level 2 - Balancing.

Josie: "Hello there!"

Level 3 - Crossing the net

*wasn't able to capture a picture here*

Level 4 - Zip line!

Wee!

Level  5- Series of Tires

me: "This is fun!"

Level  6 - Swinging steps

Smile2x pa. :D

Level 7- Inverted T's

Then comes the hard part. I'm literally hugging these T's.

Level 8- Balancing. again.

me: "Now, this is getting harder mehn."

Level 9- Surfin'

me: "Woohoo!"

Level 10- The Grid

Level 12- Crawling the tunnel

Level 13- Spider web

Spider Woman. haha

Level 15 - Crossing the logs

Level 15- The String Swing

Level 16- Last stage!

And we made it! Yey!

It was a very tiring yet a very an unforgettable experience for us! One thing is for sure though, maybe I'll be having second thoughts going in the course again. hahaha 

After the grueling rope course, it was time to eat our lunch. Then we went for a walk around the park and in the afternoon, we went for a swim. I was a little disappointed though because the pool's very deep end is not more than 5 feet. -_-

At around 5 pm, the group then boarded the service van of Mountain View and went home as the rain poured heavily.
