Sacol Island Visit, Taluksangay, Zamboanga City

We conducted a site inspection for the mangrove protection project in Sacol Island, Taluksangay, Zamboanga City. Sacol Island is an ideal site for mangrove protection and conservation in the east coast of the city, with islands boasting of rich aquaculture and white sands. Just take a look at that clear water! #LEDIPSinAction #zamboangacity #zamboangaadventures #boatrides #islandhopping

Perfect 35th Birthday

This weekend is something special.

On Saturday, I planned out my birthday to be a no-writing day. As early as Friday Night, C took me to KCC to have dinner and to treat me to a hair spa in David’s Salon. I got an iced coffee to help wake me up from the afternoon slump after office hours.

 

On Saturday morning, I got up and made myself a glass of coffee. I got ready to go to church, bringing along last year’s candles with me. They’re a bit discolored but still are able to produce a light and a sorry box of matches.

 

I thought a mass was in order in the church. But all was quiet and the priest was arranging for everything indoors. I eventually found a spot to light candles in the garden. Here’s where C asked the person tending to the garden if there was any lechon for the village’s fiesta.

After my annual birthday ritual, we headed to KCC for breakfast. Between KFC and Dennis Coffee Garden, we opted for the latter for some well-loved satti. C purchased a pack of traditional cookies.

 

I took up his offer of a manicure and pedicure in Sir J’s Salon. We then took the car to the side of the mall and bought a small can of salted caramel cheesecake. This, in my opinion, is the perfect way to spend my birthday. It’s “buy your own cheesecake day because the family baker is on travel” mode.

 

Throughout the day, there were many greetings pouring in from social media. It became too tiring to reply to all of them one by one. But I’m quite content to be able to have Japanese food for lunch. Thank you Hanazono! 

You know that you’re ageing when your birthday itinerary includes a siesta. All in all, my heart is full. I’m grateful to have spent it with my close people. Here’s to more adventures in the years to come.

School Matters | Procrastination and Acknowledgments

Today, I'm not a pretty sight. 

Procrastination is my main enemy. I did promise my mentor that I'd be polishing my paper today in time for my advisor to edit it up and eventually sign the endorsement form after I have tabulated all the results from the respondents. 

And where am I now? Still in the part of Related Literature and summarizing each one. 

I hate myself.

I'm blaming it on my sinusitis. I ran out of medicine. Last night was the last piece. This morning I only have my antihistamine. It was also a bad idea for me to sweep the floor this morning. But I guess I am only making up excuses. 

There is one thing positive about it though, and that is I wrote the Acknowledgments section already. At least that's out of the way. 

But enough yapping. I should be getting onto it, and then maybe rewarding myself later for a job well done. How about some ice cream then?
