Xiandu Mountains

The trip to Wuyi City has made me feel so relaxed and it was really a great adventure to climb high mountains such as the Furong Gorge and Xiandu Mountains. Truly it tested my endurance and power to climb up the rocky trails and steep foot paths along the gorgeous mountains. Among other mountains that we climbed, Xiandu Mountains were the most beautiful and its scenery offers more than a place to relax and unwind. Furong Gorge tested our will power to go on and agility to manage the very steep climb.

However along the way up we saw many exhilirating sights like the fresh water ducks swimming with the little birds, whew that was completely awesome! I of course took loads of pictures along the way and it served as memoirs whenever I want to go to places like those mountains. When we reached the mountain top, we were catching for breath and immediately we drunk cold water and with the other staffs and teachers we had our best pose ever. Such as those were posing as if we were flying and those other crazy stuffs but twas really cool the guys posed as if they were about to jump down the mountain! Twas really breath-taking. Smiles.

All I can say is that that place was just really worthy to explore for its serenity offers more than peace of a troubled mind. Indeed we relaxed for almost more than two hours on top just chatting and feeling the cool wind touched our cheeks. The silence there gave me even more time to contemplate on my life and how am I doing it until now. I found complete serenity there and if I'd ever be given a chance to go there again, I surely will. It was such a fulfilling climb and I won't forget all of those experiences with my friends, the school staffs, and colleagues who were so funny.

After all, we shouted 'We made it!' aloud on the mountaintop, whew! and one of them shouted 'I love you!!! can you hear me???' Oh well, his girlfriend was just by his side. So sweet and memorable indeed! Smiles.

Trip to Wui

Everyone is pretty excited today while discussing the things to do in a place where there is the most famous hot spring here in my place - Wui. It's a three-hour-ride by bus from my place. We are guessing that almost all of the teachers are coming to that organized trip. They said it’s a nice opportunity to get to know others in the other school. My housemate and I are going to that trip since it’s just a short distance and they also cancelled all classes on Wednesday, woohooo!

We are pretty excited by now. We shared ideas on what to do in there and what to bring and things like that. Francis, the Irish guy also coaxed us to come and enjoy the upcoming trip. Upon hearing the great things told by my students too then finally I said yes and now I am getting ready for it. Surely I will bring my digital camera and will be taking loads of picturesque views in that heavenly place as they describe it.

I just hope that everything is going to be fine on that day – the weather, the people, the place, and everything. It pays a lot to go sightseeing on a fine day and I am hoping it to be like that. Thinking the activities by now – massage, relaxing bath in the hot spring pools, and sightseeing are really motivating factors for me to be thrilled about it.

How about you? What makes you excited these days?

Excited to Know

This afternoon while I was chatting over the net with my friend in Zam, the phone rang and I hurriedly picked it up only then to know its my headmaster. Without any hesitations, he immediately asked me how I'm feeling now since I have been sick these past few days. He then asked me if I would really go to the company's tour this coming 22 and 23. I said YES I am excited about it and I would surely go with them. Thinking of the next escapade is much more exciting than the time when I went to HK all by myself. This time I am going with my all my colleagues on a tour near Shanghai. I am still wishing now that we can stop by or push through going to Shanghai and go sightseeing. Well, even then, I am still EXCITED!

I Am Happy Yet Sad

These past few days I have been coughing a lot due to this crazy weather here in my place. I blame this to the weather because it's really freaky and unpredictable I'm surprised it rains in the afternoon after such a very warm morning. Despite all these, I consider myself happy because I can now surf the Internet anytime I want to. No need for me to go to the nearest netshoppe to rent and chat with my family and friends. Recently I have bought my dream and directly applied for its Internet connection. Now, I am happy with what I've got!

I Am Sad

Though I have bought my precious dream today and I am indeed happy, I have not really touched nor used it now since it has to be configured first to have an English version of its O.S. Gosh!

Amazing Afternoon with May

Yesterday was really fantastic for me and my friend May. I met her in Wenzhou, it is a city 45 minutes ride by bus from my place. She is just simply a good-natured lady I admire the most. I met her in December last year before Christmas. She is working in KFC Times Square. I went there to eat and she started talking with me in Chinese and I didn't get it. Instead, I started to talk in English and that was the start of our friendship.

Since then, we often exchange emails, calls, and text messages until we decided to spend more time with ourselves yesterday. She toured me in her university which really is just so wonderful and heavenly. I couldn't put into words how I felt when we strolled around the peaceful university city.

We walked through the beautiful landscapes and intricate buildings designed like in the west. I feel like I am in another country. I am really amazed at how lucky I am to have found this beautiful person in this foreign land. I would surely love to spend more time with her travelling in different cities near our place. Next trip, as planned, is in her hometown. I am really excited for it.
