I just came back from an 11 day vacation to the Philippines. This has been the best vacation that I have ever had! I'm currently unemployed -- well, I start my new job on Monday, September 15th so it has been the first time that I have gone on vacation without a work laptop with me. No pressure, no stress, no worries about what's going on at work. It's just awesome! :)
Before I left SF, I was planning on doing 3 things in the Philippines -- eat, drink and take golf lessons. By the time I got out of the airport in Manila at 4:30 in the morning and feeling sweat running down my pant legs, I figured, I needed to reconsider the golf lessons. It was just way too hot and humid to stay outdoors for several hours hitting balls and looking for them. Uhhh... not my kind of vacation. Anyways, I ended up still doing 3 things -- eat, drink and go to the spa.
Ahhhhh... spa, spa, spa. I've had 3 full body massages, gone for a hair spa, a manicure, a pedicure, foot spa, facial and a foot massage all in the span of 11 days while seeing all the friends that I cared to see. Ok, yes, I am addicted to the spa! I was running out of body parts to pamper by day 6!
I finally got to meet Clarisse (Calay), my neice. She is such a sweetheart. She is so freakin smart. Takes after her aunt. ;) For a kid who's a year and 7 months old, her vocabulary is just amazing. She calls me Tita Mami (she can't pronounce Cami yet). Ask her who's beautiful and sexy and she'll tell you that it's her Tita Mami! Hey, kids don't know how to lie so it must be true! :P
The past few months before I decided to quit my job has really been hell for me. It has been the most stressful and frustrating time in my life. My yoga classes have managed to keep me sane. Anway, I am so glad that I decided to take the time off to completely de-stress myself before starting my new job. Now I feel completely refreshed and ready to take on a new challenge. Bring it on! ;)
