Game of Tag

Okay, okay. I will play along, having been tagged by Mavic and Olive, I'll do this before somebody else tagged me again. =) oh, the pressure!

Game 1
The rule is: what are the things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal… and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.

1. Take a walk. As walking here in Manila is kinda hazardous, taking a walk is a challenge. I used to drive to UP and walk around the academic oval. One had the company of other people who are either jogging or cycling, making me feel safe. I have yet to do this again this year as I have been sidelined by the big C. Soon, very soon!

2. Take a long drive. This usually just means Tagaytay. But on the rare occassion that I need to go to Angeles City (work related), I love the drive.

3. Read a book or spend an afternoon in the bookstore.

4. Do my crosstitch. Explore other crafts that I can possible dabble in.

5. Veg out at the beach. Although these are far and few in between.

6. Watch 2 movies in a row.
