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.

My Thoughts on Homemaking, Plumbing and local Rotorooter

Every person has a way of creating beautiful things to have an enthusiastic life. Even though things are sometimes limited, many people think of ways to maximize what they have and solve every problem with ease. No wonder being resourceful is one of the most important characteristics of a human being. In this post, I would like to share about patience and resourcefulness at home. Let me also share with you some of my experiences on plumbing concerns, which will inspire you to know more about local Rotorooter services.

I've read in a blog post that being resourceful in homemaking is fun. The blogger don't have funds to purchase home decor. To solve the dilemma, she gathered materials to design her own ornaments. Within one day, she was able to make a decoration for the porch and front door by using used materials. She used an old umbrella and placed it with stunning flowers made of plastic and used laces in order to create a bouquet for the front door. I know you'll be amazed of what she did for homemaking purposes.

on our way to the resort :)

In another blog post, I also found a way to decorate the living room using old materials. You can create a beautiful home decor by gathering a pair of old boots, different kinds of artificial flowers and laces. To create some fabulous homemade flower vases, place the artificial in the two old boots and tie it with colorful laces. The finished products can be placed in both sides of the front door.

Lastly, I would like to talk about plumbing experiences. Earlier last year, we had a vacation in a beautiful resort. The travel time to the vacation resort is six hours. Upon arrival, we decided to just use the kitchen to prepare our food for the one-week stay in the vacation house. Then, my mother checked the cooking materials. She discovered that there's something wrong with the faucet. So my brother called a nearby plumber to fix the faucet. Thankfully, he helped us solve the problem. We're really grateful of the plumber at that time.

Local Rotorooter and Plumbing

In every adventure, you will have a memorable moment to share with others. If you love to travel and enjoy the trip with your loved ones, you're aware that there are unavoidable circumstances along the road. Sometimes you need to follow the bend, the twists and turns of events and feel grateful about it. After all, life isn't exciting and fun without it. Do you agree with me? No wonder I learned a lot when a plumber enthusiastically helped us during a mini-vacation last year. It's something like local Rotorooter plumbers have always done.

I still remember the day when we had a mini-vacation in a popular tourist spot. The trip was a gift from one of my relatives. For the exciting travel activity, we prepared for possible unavoidable circumstances. It's a good thing that we will stay in a small private resort for a week. In that case, we will prepare our own food and other necessities. It's like having a home away from home. The experience was totally awesome.

Even though it is a long trip, we enjoyed sight-seeing and chatting while in transit. I really liked looking at seashores, trees, mountains and valleys while on the road. Upon arrival, we immediately checked the area and planned for our activities.

My cousin also checked the materials found in the house. The bedrooms for the guests are fine. The living room is very clean and comfortable. There's a huge firewood in the lawn. In the kitchen, the utensils are complete. However, my cousin discovered that the faucet is defective and the drainage system is not in good condition. We realized we have a big problem!

We don't have friends in the area. Therefore, our only hope is to wait for the caretaker to help us fix the dilemma. Fortunately, he came back after an hour since he left his cleaning materials in the lawn. We asked help from help. So he called a skilled plumber to fix the faucet and the drainage system. We're grateful that he did it. Why? It was a holiday and we expect everyone is busy. At that time, we are really grateful that the plumber helped us fix the faucet and the drainage system. Our vacation was successful and unforgettable.
