Day 42 - Chill day in Manila.

It doesn't really feel as though enough happened today to warrant a blog post, but at this point its really just a reflex to start one when I have access to the internet and some time to spare.

Back at the house after a day out. Dropped off one of the cousins at the university (and had some snacks - avocado shakes and carioca aka. rice balls on sticks). Then went to the mall with my aunts and another cousin (and had more snacks. cake was involved. notably bought a bigger suitcase to fit all of my things more comfortably. things seemed to have expanded since landing here, never mind the shopping I done. On the way home, we stopped by an orchid exhibit at a nearby garden centre (beautiful flowers - no food available). Finally arrived at the house. Where we had a snack, followed by dinner. As the snack was a buco tart, maybe that just counts as having dessert first? And last night, after my last post, we also went to a mall, where I had dinner with cousins I had stayed with in Singapore on my last trip to Asia.

It feels like I'm spending most of my time sitting, eating and shopping. Which normally, count among my favourite ways to spend my time - but are making me feel kind of lazy at the moment. I'm enjoying the slower pace, but it kinda feels like I'm undoing all the fitness benefits of having been so active for the past month and a half. I can almost feel myself losing the little tone I've gained as I sit here. I'll possibly do some crunches before bed.

Though the weird feeling I have is possibly just muscle soreness more closely related to the fact that I fell twice yesterday. Both times in my room here. The first time I blaimed not wearing slippers like Im supposed to in the house. And then the second time I blaimed the slippers I was wearing. Plan at the moment is just to walk super slow, holding on to the walls, just like my grandmother :)
