The Necessity of Taking a Vacation

Every time I want to unwind after days of writing, I prepare for a weekend getaway. One of my favorite destinations is Watercamp Resort in Cavite. I also visit resorts in Laguna and other neighboring areas.

When I got married, my love of travel was heightened. My husband also loves to travel so it wasn’t difficult for me. We included in our travel plans the idea of visiting islands. So we dropped by Camiguin Island in one of our trips to Mindanao.

Now that I’m fully charged, after taking a two-year vacation from working so hard in the metro, I’m ready to travel again. This time, my plans are more concrete.

I’ll travel for three reasons.

1. To unwind

We know that relief from every day strains restores the joy of living. Remember, your vacation must be sensibly planned. Make sure to list down the activities that you want to do while on a vacation.

Personally, I go on a vacation to unwind because I’m a writer. Sometimes it’s boring to just stay at home and mechanically perform household tasks everyday.

2. To learn

It’s essential to learn something while you’re on the road. It’s a requirement, not just a whim. Why? You’ll never really enjoy being on the road without learning something along the way.

I learned a new skill while visiting a new place. I became acquainted with ornamental plants, too. And the list goes on.

3. To earn

Obviously, I also earned money while travelling. Except during vacation days, I travel to sell something or do something for a client such as research and writing. After all, the ideas that I collected during trips are useful in my writing tasks.

These reasons are vital to my plans in life. I want to enrich my blog so it’s necessary to widen my route.

Kite Flying as a Vacation Activity

One night, I was busy listing down activities for our yearly vacation. I had already on the list the thrill of hiking, bird watching, roaming in the beach, participating in cooking lessons in a locality and swimming in a resort. There are hundreds of magnificent Cavite resorts near or place so it wasn't a problem. But I’m still in need of fresh ideas about activities for the trip.

Then, I thought about kite flying. Do you like it? I’ve done it before when I was a kid.

Nowadays, I rarely find people flying their kites in open field. I wonder if it’s a suitable travel activity.

Here are some tips for kite fliers. When kite flying, be sure to remember these tips.

1. Keep away from power lines, streets, creeks, pools and playing fields with holes. Obviously, these are dangerous areas that you should avoid.

2. Have the cord or string wound into a ball. Let it unwind in such a way that your feet or arms will not be caught if the wind suddenly becomes strong.

3. If a kite is caught on electric wires, do not try to get it yourself. Ask for the help of older persons. You can also bring a spare kite if necessary.

4. Wind the cord in a ball after flying a kite to prevent anybody from being caught in it.

5. Always inform your parents where you are going to fly a kite.

Obviously, this activity is also perfect during picnic hours. Bring extra snacks and drinks to make it more enjoyable. After all, refreshments are really necessary while kite flying.

Don’t forget to bring extra clothes and face towel. It will help you stay fresh while enjoying the activity.

Tips on How to Discover and Develop Ideas

The time has come to enrich our ideas in discovering and developing things. The Information Age has ripened. All of us can take advantage of it. Here are tips to let our creative juices flow tremendously.

Observe

If you want to observe many things, visit public places. During travel, examine simple things.

Personally, I’m so amazed of the wave pool design at Watercamp Resort in Cavite, especially the arrangement of the pools. I also like the shows at Manila Ocean Park. The beauty of Tagaytay City has inspired me to write a short story about two young lovers.

Inquire

Ask anything about something that you’re interested about. In the process of asking relevant and irrelevant questions, you’ll be amazed of the hidden knowledge that you can discover.

I didn’t know that handshakes started during the cavemen. Luckily, I asked questions while having a discussion with a friend. When I got home, I researched about it. Indeed, it was a common greeting in that point of time. In my first novel, I included an idea of handshake greeting with a twist.

Discuss ideas with others

Think about it. Other people also know something that you don’t know. Let them spill it out to you. It’s for your benefit.

I learned many things after a close friend of mine shared about a movie. At home, I created a beautiful design of a dress because of it.

Write down every idea that comes to mind and enlarge on it.

I always carry a pen and paper. Do you like writing down notes? I do. Since I’m forgetful, I do it on purpose.

Being Cautious in Driving: What It Means To All of Us

Many lives have been lost because of irresponsible driving. The end result is irrevocably detrimental to those who are victims of road accidents. If lives are sometimes lost, others are permanently disabled that affected their lifestyle. No wonder it is necessary to be cautious in driving. It means life, that’s all.

If time will come that you will rent a car at Orange Cars Philippines, you need to apply the following tips.

So what does being cautious on the road means? There are six things to remember for that matter.

1. Be careful in every intersection – specifically a multiple-lane intersection, where you look instantly at the first lane of traffic you will come in contact with, moving your eyes left-right-left, before you proceed into the intersection.

2. Remember that it takes only a split second of distracted attention on the part of drivers to miss a traffic sign or signal.

3. Be alert and cautious particularly at intersections where traffic and regulatory signs can be hidden by buildings, fences, or shrubbery.

4. Be sure you are never caught short when you pass – passing only when you have plenty of room to pull out safely, overtake, and pull back-in long before a driver coming from an opposite direction has to alter his speed or course.

5. Expect the unexpected to happen. For instance, expect that a driver coming from an opposite direction won’t give way to another driver who’s caught short. The skilled driver predicts and makes allowances for such drivers, giving them plenty of room.

6. Be ready to yield the right-of-way at all times, convinced that the possible injury, death, loss of time and personal property damage are not worth insisting on his right-of-way “right.”
