Room with a view

You know what’s it like, you join a tour to some exotic destination and one of the itinerary might look like

 

4 a.m wake up call

5.a.m gather at hotel lobby

5.30 reach the peak of  Mt XYZ and enjoy fabulous sunrise

6.a.m back to hotel and continue with your sleep

 

And in the photos , half of the frame will be half asleep faces ( with or without lipsticks), bleary eyes but still waving the compulsory and cheerful  peace-signs and in the other corner the spectacular sunrise that everyone oohhs and ahhhs over..

 

How often will you catch a sunrise or sunset from your home ? have you ever make an effort to wake up earlier with the purpose to catch the sunrise ?  I guess for some of us that have to commute to work early or have school going children, one might be up as the sun does, but just do not have the time or the suitable frame of mind to enjoy the view..

 

What I am saying is one might not need to travel far to enjoy a spectacular sunrise or sunset, the sun  rises and sets everywhere, everyday….ok ok..you win, smarty pants.. the sun doesn’t rise at the north pole everyday 

 

Here are some pictures taken from my window

 

 

and here are some taken as the storm was brewing, the sky was so dark and i had that ‘end of the world’ feeling

Thi orh-orh, ai lork hor..

Ah Kong gia too thao, beh kut orrr..

Kut ya kut, kut yar kut..

Cracked heels – DIY

Here’s a simple ( and economical) remedy for crack heels, instead of those (expensive ) creams at the stores, go for the petroleum jellies, like Vaseline.

 

Apply a generous amount on the affected area and go about your business , preferably still with some footwear on ( as the jelly might rub off from your heels and get on to your floors instead)

 

I tried it for about 2 weeks and I found that the cracks had significantly lessen.

 

Read the product labels and it says  this works on lips and for softening any rough spots on the skin too.

 

Will the owners of these feet please identify yourselves?
