Day 7 & 8 - Double Entry
I am combining two days to catch up for the past few days that I have not been on schedule. It is a tight week with an upcoming big activity at work. Day 7 was pretty good in terms of diet. I am eating more greens and choosing my food better. Day 8 though at our company sponsored leader’s appreciation day, food is abundant.
BODY: I drove to Punta Fuego in the dark. I was with some of my workmates who have more or less been historical passengers and never navigators. But thanks to the wonders of GPS through my AA’s China version of Samsung Galaxy and Victoria’s diligence in reading her IPhone downloaded maps, we made it. I’ve been driving for years but I always feel that my abilities are tested whenever I thread new grounds. Driving in the dark always gives me the creeps but the slopes of Nasugbu en route Punta Fuego surely brings my experience to a new level. I can say I have done it!
I am trying to attempt to squeeze in a jog in between days here at PF, hopefully I get to do that to start my morning tomorrow. The place has pathways that are challengingly inclined, walking on it makes you stretch your muscles. I wish I am that passionate about running or exercising, I would’ve grabbed the next opportunity to explore it. I haven’t given up though. I will push myself a little each day until I get there.
SPIRIT: There were some moments of distress c/o working away from the office but I am glad I didn’t go over the edge. I have been a little more “human” lately. I don’t know if it’s because I am leaving or because I have been “feasting”, or maybe both. I like the fact that I indulged and invested some good money for my site leaders. The place looks beautiful and they all seem to be enjoying the RnR. Despite a lot of misses in preparing for this event, I somehow managed to keep calm and not beat myself or my organizers about it. Sure it could’ve been more exciting and smooth, and that is exactly what we will aim to do for the version tomorrow. It is a bigger group after all.
Overall, I think my stay here in Punta Fuego for almost three days will be a good aid for my stressed mind, body and spirit. Waking up everyday to a beautiful beach front home is truly a luxury. I heard folks who own or members of this club spent a lot of money for its availability. I’m not surprised. Everyday seems too beautiful and beautiful.
