I just want to go to the sea without having to deal with the heavy road traffic that motorists have encountered this Holy Week break. Friends had been stuck on NLEX or provincial roads for hours on Thursday. That’s the reason why I chose to stay in the city this long weekend—I don’t want that kind of stress.

My sister has been bugging me to book Las Caidas in Cavinti, Laguna but I said my calendar is full until we move next month. There is no way I can fit that from now since Tuesday next week is the beginning of the annual stockholders meeting season.

But I think I’d rather go to Masungi Georeserve first than Las Caidas because going around Rizal province would be harder for me now that I’m relocating south. Cavinti is just an hour away from my new house so it’s pretty accessible at all-year round.

I am itching to go on a hike or diving instead of lounging around resorts and pretend that I’m a lady of leisure. Nature trips had always been my jam. Good thing my kids learned how to love it, too.

Gotta start packing to go back home. Staying in a hotel for three days in a city is the maximum I can tolerate.

And that’s it. I’m hiding in my room now with the aircon on because it’s freaking hot outside. I did all my vegetable and meat shopping before going back home because I have no intention of going out until Wed.

I brought my sewing and watercolor kits with me at the hotel but I wasn’t able to touch those for some reason. I think my body and mind just gave up and didn’t function in the last three days. So that’s what overworking does to me. I just crash and burn. Then I hibernate completely to cope.

You know, planning and arranging things for work and at home (and a house construction) can really exhaust a person. Sometimes, I just want to go with the flow and have somebody else arrange things for me. Just for a change, somebody else to take care of me and lift some of the responsibilities off my shoulders. Because you know, a superwoman gets tired. I’m not a robot.
