Hi GTs! Assuming that we don't always have the money to splurge, what are your cheap ways to have fun? Mine are:
1. Go to a friend's house then watch movies and play board games.
2. Immerse yourself in a really good book.
3. Get to know the people you're not close with.
Share away! ;D

4. Magsulat sa planner ko.
5. Magplano ng mga future getaways with bf/friends with initerary na haha.
6. Mag-online, but I limit myself with this dahil nasasayang oras minsan hindi ko namamalayan nagbbrowse na lang ng kahit anong walang sense .
7. Magluto.
8. Read a book.
9. Stargazing/Moon gazing. Amazing! :)

I can only do 1 cheap way to amuse myself the whole day = net browsing! LOL :)
But really, i can spend whole day in my bed just browsing & watching anything on YT, dramacrazy and watch32. Sooobrang wlang gastos, walang bangunan sa kama at walang liguan haha.
There's nothing I can do here in abu dhabi, super init naman sa labas pra gumala. Wlang choice kundi stay lang sa flat, kumain, maglaba, household chores then papasok na naman sa office kinabukasan. ganito lang ang buhay ko dito with my hubby.
The weekdays we spend 12 hrs in the office (that's including travel hrs papasok at pauwi). tapos mag-zumba class then uwi na. tulog na naman babangon to work. parang ang dami ko ng namiss na happenings sa pinas. uuwi ako malalki na mga pamangkin ko.! #notthatimcomplaining

I love staying in bed with the aircon on and a really soft blanket wrapped around me. Then, have a good book in hand (usually a kilig romance novel) and also some crisps to munch on.
I also enjoy putting on makeup just for the heck of it even if I'm not going out. It's just a great way to pass the time as well as practice your makeup skills.
Lastly, watching videos online and going on Facebook is good enough when I'm feeling lazy to do anything else. :D

I miss the days when the neighborhood kids would gather around a storyteller--one of the lolas, a yaya, one of the dads, etc.--and just listen with rapt attention, or make up stories as they go along. We used to do that when I was growing up, lalo na pag brownout, and I've noticed that the kids in our neighborhood today don't.
