Colors and Grey : February 17 2025

Fresh off the weekend.

While it was a very hectic week for me last week, from traveling back to the UAE last Monday, to all the catching up to chores and whatnots the rest of the days, I had a significantly restful weekend. That said, I had lots of energy to start the week on a high note.

A morning walk.

Finally, I had a chance to greet the sunrise on my morning walk. This is an activity that I find almost impossible in the Philippines. We just don't have a "pedestrian-friendly" road in our place.

Here we have a bike and walkers lane almost everywhere. Cars let you cross the road with so much ease.

Grey Skies, Colorful Surroundings

It was an overcast morning. The sun could barely penetrate its powerful rays.

I loved the contrast of the colorful spray of flowers everywhere.

The weather was perfect-- not too cold, and yes, not yet hot. This is the type of weather you'd wish for the rest of the year.

But can time stand still?

I wish it did for a moment, so I could capture the bees busy buzzing about these tiny flowers.

So hard. At least I caught one.

Can you spot that bee?! 🐝

Important Health Decision

I completed my morning walk after an hour, feeling great about myself.

Before we left for PH in September, I had a check up and as usual, I was advised to make lifestyle amendments, which I wasn't able to apply much in the past 4 months while in PH (cue: holidays and celebrations).

Last week, I went to the doctor for a routine checkup, and had some labs done.

I went to see the doctor in the afternoon to see how I fared in my labs. Again, she would not recomment any medicines to me, but instead encouraged me to just focus on my lifestyle change.

I told her if my morning walk was an indicator, then I should be off to a good start and we'll see about that on my next visit to her after 3 months.

I passed by the optical shop to check out a new frame for my new prescription glasses. Hopefully, they'll be ready for tomorrow, and I will be able to have better glasses already!

What do you think, will I be able to sustain a new routine to get rid of my sedentary lifestyle? Let's see. 🤞

How about you? How did your day go?
