Hello all, I hope you're having a nice week. 🤗


Previously, I shared about our recent trip as a family up the highlands to have a bit of a chill, and enjoy the cooler temperature. It was quite a treat actually. A treat and a half 😉.

We stayed in a beautiful villa amidst trees and greens. The villa looks great but it isn't flawless. Most of the materials used are woods. So each step on the staircases makes noise. And I think one of my nephews thought of the noise it makes, as music. So with his crocs on, he decided to go up and down, up and down the staircases early in the morning because he was down early the night before. 😅


The villa has a third floor, the floor where I slept with other members of the family. One big room with loads of beds. So that was great, I didn't have to share a bed.


It was a night with almost no sleep though, maybe because I was missing my bed at home. That's always the case with me. The next morning, when I saw that all beds were empty, I thought of getting up so I can walk around the place. 


I noticed during the trip, I was always asked if I'm at the back of the car because all were so jolly chatting together while I was so quiet at the window side at the back. I am a naturally an introvert. And one of my brothers is exactly like me. 


So after getting changed that morning and gone down those noisy steps from the third floor to the ground floor, my brother was sitting on the sofa bed where he slept the night. He's a pretty good sleeper unlike me. I asked him to come and walk with me. I don't know, I'm a person who function efficiently with myself but that morning why I suddenly needed a company.  I think that was a good idea. 


So we stepped out of the house and started our walk. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining brightly already, the sky was blue, no hint of a rain coming later on...This is Camp John Hay, Baguio City, Phils.

We started walking on the streets going from dead end to dead end. We could have been braver to get to the mountains and walk through the tall trees but time is limited. Getting lost in the jungle is not an option. 😅

There are occupied and unoccupied villas a little further, we can easily tell. There was one villa with a man we didn't see but he was on the phone talking so loudly, we saw a couple chilling at the open backyard of the villa, and of course, cars parked outside the villas give it off that the place is occupied.

Apart from the tall trees and greenery, there are abundance of different flowers around. Different flowers from the villa we stayed in. Here are some...😍😍😍

What a beautiful surroundings. Fresh air and so peaceful considering that it's in the city.

And oh, I had a funny discovery but at the same time very annoying...I got the lenses of my eyeglasses changed last year and only this morning walk that I discovered that the transition lenses are not the same.

Have you checked closely? I was like this 😳😅 when I found out. My brother said I look like a dog with one dark patched eye. I showed my cousin my photo and she said I looked like a pirate. While one of my brothers was laughing like crazy. 🤣🤣🤣


It's a total discomfort wearing it under the sun. I can't believe I've been fooled by the people in that Optical. I wonder if I should go back there and show them... I payed a lot for it and I'm a regular. 🤔 


Ah well, things like this happen. People can do worst...I guess I should be more careful next time, check everything first before leaving and not rushing. I shouldn't be so trusting as well. 


So...my brother and I got back to join the rest who did their walk earlier for a delicious breakfast 😋. Delicious breakfast, family as company in this beautiful place will definitely make me smile.


Many thanks for your time, hive friends. 🌹🌹🌹
Have a nice Wednesday. 🤗🌷☘🌷🍀🌷
