All It Takes Is a View

Last Saturday, my friend, her daughter and I, bravely went to the Mall of Asia to join thousands of people to watch the last day of the 2nd World Pyro Olympics. We seemed crazy to push through with our plans, considering the horror stories of traffic from the previous year, but we really wanted to see the fireworks, so we said, "What the heck, let's go!"

We went as early as 4:30 pm, in order to secure our reservations at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf restaurant. Knowing that we would be in for a long wait, I brought with me some books, sheets of paper and my newly discovered Schneider sign pen (sorry, I'm such an office supplies geek!). While my friend and her daughter went into the mall to shop, I stayed behind at our table that had an excellent view of the bay and the slowly setting sun! I found myself in a brainstorming mood and scribbled page after page of ideas for various projects I am currently working on! :-) In other words, the view totally inspired me!!!

I realized that maybe all I need to finally write that dream book is to make the effort to go to Tagaytay or a nearby beach with a laptop and write, write, write! For that matter, I should spend more time writing or working in my lanai or garden for some sense of nature. :-)

Well, at least I finally got this blog "journle" going! Hehehe.
