Hey Hive!

In my previous post I showed you already some photos of this adventure, and today I would like to share my new video with you all! It's more than 17 minutes long (and in addition the post contains 60 pictures)! So take your time, make a coffee, and enjoy watching, hehe!

At first I filmed the moments when I was going to the beach and spent some time there. As you can see before leaving I prepared some yummy food (chicken soup and bread) which I brought to the beach. Later I just relaxed, played some chess and read a little bit in my new chess book. But I was also active, did some gym and swam in the cool water!

Then, in the afternoon, I was hiking in a very beautiful area of Hong Kong. I had a lot of stairs to climb but the beautiful nature, the wonderful view and the fresh air were worth the effort! And I also spotted a shimmering blue dragonfly!

Altogether to going to the beach and later hike was the perfect way to turn a boring day into an exciting one, giving myself the love I deserve, hehe!

I hope you enjoy watching the pictures and my video (you can find the YouTube version here). Thank you so much for your constant support! I hope you find it interesting and fun to watch... hehe... Enjoy!

Beach Time!

It would be a long day, so I decided to prepare chicken soup, hehe!

I also took some bread.

Arriving on the beach!

I selected this place near the water.

Want to join me doing push-ups and sit-ups, hehe?

Time to play chess... with myself!

Let's enjoy the water now!

Playing like a child with the water, hehe!

I love...?

ME! :-)))

Hiking Time!

Isn't that a really fantastic view on the Tai Tam Reservoirs?

Stairs, stairs, and stairs again... I am sure later at night I had dreamed of stairs!!

I admit I was curious, but...

There are quite some trails and different hiking options.

What a great feeling to have reached this high plateau!

View on Hong Kong!

I love the iridescent blue color of this beautiful dragonfly!

Thank you for accompanying me through this wonderful day. Take care and until next time!

Nice shots, but sometimes less is more. Check out my posts, much less pics, but I select only the best. Just a well-intentioned advice.

Thank you for your support and advice, @stayoutoftherz! I extracted a lot of pics from the video and selected the best (in my opinion), also as a nice memory for myself. But as you suggest, I will think about selecting less next time.

Time to play chess... with myself!

I believe this is one of the best ways to learn and become proficient. There's a game called ayo that I play often. As a kid, I learnt to play with myself and each time I had an opponent, I always beat them at the game.

The view at the Tai Tam Reservoirs are really pretty. I've always dream of hiking to high altitudes, but my fear of heights keeps me grounded. Maybe someday, under proper supervision, I will.

I believe you that you are a good ayo player as in your posts you also express your thoughts always in a very logical and structured way - you are a deep thinker! And I know you be a good chess player, too! 😊

Maybe someday, under proper supervision, I will.

If you were not so far away we could try it one day, hehe!

I'm working on getting a chess board. Once I do and learn some tricks, maybe we can play a virtual game? 😊

You really had a good time, @gen-quimba and hey, you're very serious on your new found relaxation...chess board! I'm hoping to see you someday when you come home and I will be in Davao City, too. Let's play chess!💖

That's a very good idea... so you also play chess? Anyway, I am still a beginner, but it would be much fun to play chess with you one day! 😊

I do, though I am an amateur, and the last time I played was almost 5 years ago. It was just a fun play with my buddy. It's an analytical game and I love it.🤩

By the way, kindly read your messenger. I left a message the other day.🌷

Beach time!! :)

so how many pushups can u do at one shot? I used to do 30, but now struggle to do just 10. :(

0.00 FOODIE

gen-quimba 10 days ago

It depends on the style: if elbows are near the body and point backwards maybe 15. If they point sidewards maybe 20 or a little bit more.

Yes, cause most of your blogs are in the beach and I also read your last blog entitled the things that I love to do.
