Philippines - Sagada -> Banaue -> Batad (Part 2)

Image
I mentioned in Part 1 , it's taboo to continue blogging about Sagada trip because I was typing the post in hungry ghost month at night time, I was going to blog about the Hanging Coffins. And I am scared of ghost -_-! I find it pantang, so I didn't take any pictures while we were there. All photos (almost) stolen from my travel partner's Facebook :D We have to walk pass the cemetery.  To see the hanging coffins After a night spent in Sagada, we took a bus to Banaue. On the way to Banaue Once we arrived in Banaue, we hired a jeepney to bring us to Batad. But no road leads to Batad village, hence the jeepney dropped us at the Batad junction. Recalling this, I feel like crying. It's a 30-minute walk up to reach the Saddle under scorching sun. It was my fault that I didn't check the itinerary with my travel mate. Hence no sunblock applied, with no hats and a heavy backpack, we walk towards the Saddle. The jeepney driver filling petrol.  The 30-

I failed the battle

Just woke up from a 3-hour nap after taking cold & flu tablets. I felt it coming that's why I drank lots of water and orange juice the past few days. But a day out to the city and a walk under the scorching sun defeated my immune system (plus I have been so lazy that I have not exercise for a long time :() The long walk. It's around 800m (I am just guessing). Not a big deal compare to the 2-3km I had when I was in UK. BUT, not this weather. Left work early, headed to the pharmacy to buy flu tablets. The price difference between drowsy and non-drowsy pills is quite significant. RM 28 for non-drowsy and RM 4.50 for drowsy. RM 4.50 that's it. Afterall, I know I will sleep through the afternoon.  The mess I created in a few hours time.  Feeling much better after the nap and gonna start clearing my pending tasks. That's life, it goes on :| Blame the flu for making me sentimental at this moment -_-. The greatest wealth is health.  ~Virgil

Wake Me Up When September Ends

I have to admit procrastination is my biggest enemy. My to do list is so long that I've lost track of the beginning of the list ~_~. I am supposed to work out my wish list, get pictures printed and create my own so-called wish board but as usual I am procrastinating, since weeks ago. This is more like a vision board but almost the same thing la. You get the idea? Pic grabbed from google image. Even blogging about this took me more than an hour. In between, I was on the bed, in the toilet, brushed my teeth, played my phone... I am continuing this after a 5 minutes phone call (ya, procrastinating again :|). Oh, another half an hour gone, typing this after my shower. I know you feel like whacking me when you read this. I'm doing this to show you how far a procrastinator can go. By the way, that's not the main objective of this entry. I'm typing craps here just to remind myself I still have tons to do. To create a blog post out of nowhere and to let you know I&#
