Nica's Essentials: Relaxing Rainy Day

School is fun, but sometimes I need a break from it all. I normally recharge over the weekend by sleeping in but this isn’t enough. That’s why I love suspended classes. I sometimes use this time to make up for missed homework or do my notes. Since it’s only 1^st Quarter, I don’t have that much to worry about. Except maybe of course the UPCAT and ACET.

Today I decided to unwind by blogging and showing you my essentials during a relaxing rainy day.

1. Tea or Hot Chocolate – Little known fact about me is that I am a tea addict. I always go for the Lipton Original Flavor Milk Tea to help calm me down.  If I’m feeling a little tired I would drink the Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows. C’mon, who doesn’t like a hot beverage during a rainy day?

2. Movies – I love watching movies on my laptop when it’s rainy. What I watch depends on my mood but my usual movies are the classics like Romeo and Juliet, Les Miserables, and Phantom of the Opera. If I’m really stressed, I watch animated films like How To Train Your Dragon and Rise of the Guardians. And yes, I ship Hijack.

3. Fuzzy socks – I don’t understand why my feet get cold first and I used to pile two to three socks just to keep them warm. (Don’t get me started on the number of socks I wear when I’m in Baguio) I got myself a pair of fuzzy socks and they do a pretty good job in keeping my little toes toasty and warm.

4. Books and magazines – If I’m not in the mood for a movie, I would flip through teen magazines like Candy and Seventeen or read teen novels.

5. Fluffy blanket – I love sleeping in during a cold rainy day. I would open up my bedroom door to let the wind in and curl up in my bed.
