5 on Friday

Journal 1 Minute
  1. The second source of minor life inconvenience has finally resolved. What a relief. It is related to car rental when we travel. Can you imagine going to New Zealand on a road trip when we can’t rent a car?
  2. Grandma is here! Girls are thrilled although I hadn’t have time to chat with her as this week has been hectic. Monday to Wed, I came back home past 7pm. Thursday I came home and went to bed 7:20pm. Looking forward to enjoy grandma for 3 weeks.
  3. I am officially starting my taper for the Perth half marathon. I had a very challenging workout on Wed, 8 mile repeats. I was ready for the taper. Hope all the hard work pays off. Otherwise I’ll just enjoy running in the 50s F.
  4. I haven’t read much the last two weeks, but determined to throw myself to this new book this weekend.
  5. Job hunting is starting! I will be busy, stressed, anxious, until the process is over. I try to think of it as opportunities without wanting it too much. Rationally I know I should just give it my best shot and be at peace with whatever outcome. Emotionally hard to not get worked up though.

I have always loved traveling and travel often for work. But 2.5 years ago we moved to Manila and started to travel more for leisure. It was the start of our journey to explore the world and ourselves as a family. My daughters love traveling with passion and always want to go to new places, meet new people, try new food. This blog will record our journey in this new living style and my thoughts around it.

  1. Travel, a half marathon and job hunting is a lot of stress besides the usual business of daily life. All the best with all of your plans! I’m sure it will work out wonderfully.

  3. I’m glad you figured out the rental car for NZ! That is very essential in that country!! NZ is the most beautiful place I have been in my life – specifically the south island (I did not spend time in the north island).

    Yah for your mom arriving!!

  7. Phew, so much going on. I hope you’ll have a great race in Perth! You’ll be ready.

    Are you just job hunting for fun or are you unhappy in your job?
