RE: Facing My Fears #3: JUMPING in a FROZEN LAKE - my first STEEMIT-BET !!!
Hi @purepinay - yes, your right. all blood retreats from your skin which makes it feel like a burn.
A guy is hiking up mountains without a shirt? WHY? Sometimes I think human kind is going crazy since we covered all our basic needs.
Do you have Christimas stories in the Philippines with Santa Claus coming from a place full of snow or do you have a Philippine Version of the story?
When will you travel to the snowy parts of the planet?
All the best! Do nice to see there are other people around who don't like AC !! :-)

Hello, Elena!
You know what I found the video of "the guy that hikes up the mountain without a shirt". They call him "Superhuman: Iceman". His real name is Dutchman Wim Hof. This is so hard to believe but if you time, you should watch it. The human body is very smart and it interesting science!

The only Christmas Story I remember is that, Santa and his reindeer's goes all over the world and give gifts. I really thought Santa was real till I was in my first year in High School. =D (*am little bit embarrassed now lol) In the province we only watch movies of the same kind probably more than 20x, like Cinderella, Snow white, & Beauty and the Beast. Then for xmas I only remember watching one movie, "The Grinch" always the same movie every time. lol Thats where I saw the snow. I really thought it was just in movies. lol..
You'll have a great time in the Philippines, of course there are good and bad things in everywhere =) but overall most places that you can visit in the Philippines are very safe to travel.
Am not sure, I think it's just me who don't like ac, I never really like cold temperature. I like the perfect temp somewhere about 70-80 degrees =)
What have you been up to lately?
Wow, what a film! The images when they filmed him under the water are mesmerising! Unfortunately I am still far away from his "coolness". I screamed like a baby.
I can't believe that his skin doesn't get burns. Thank you for pointing this documentary out to me @purepinay . I had never heard of Dutchman Wim Hof or the fact that this is even humanly possible. He totally skips the SAUNA ! He doesn't need the heap of heat before he dives in!
What would be an extreme thing you could do in the Philippines? I'm sure there are a couple of high cliffs you could jump down from?
I think I would like to make this a regular habit - facing something you don't feel comfortable with at all once a week. I believe it's easier to do so whilst travelling, rather than when I'm in London. But it must also be possible in the city.
Concerning the topic of Christmas stories - but there must be fairytales or other nice originally Philippine stories!?
