saturday morning.. [ 7th of June]
i woke up to a wonderful breakfast with the whole family (something rare for me).
and then mom took off for work. she was back in a few hours. and THEN we took off. but we had to stop by mercury drug 1st 'coz we're out of conditioner. after nlex, we got to manila, (duh!duh!..haha..i'm being ridiculous) and because of the traffic, we took the skyway. Grabe it was really cool, hahaha, my and aunts said that it was like that in the states [she went with us last time]. and then when we got to slex it was uber traffic talaga. and since i was riding shotgun [w/c my mom complained about she said: "kuya bat andjan ka sa harap?!"] i can really see na yung trapik hanggang dulo pa. good thing we still managed to go to a mcdo drive thru at a gas station. We continued our journey and when we got to Bucal, w/c was near our destination, the traffic started building up again. A few kilometers later we found out that there was a fiesta. we had no choice but to crawl through it. on the bright side, the procession didn't start while we were passing by that part of the town.
And finally we arrived at the house we were supposed to be staying at. After we put our stuff in our room, we got dressed and went to the pool, where our friends were waiting. I really loved the jacuzzi with the bubble bath. Max, Therese, Issa and I stayed there and gossiped, talked and relaxed for hours. We ate dinner, which was really satisfying, and went back to the pool. I did a few laps but decided to stay in the jacuzzi. Some tome later, the parents joined in on the fun at the pool. It was really fun since we also got to talk with them [and my dad's barkada is really cool - they're always doing these things and yadda yaddda yada]. The sad part is, we weren't complete.
At about 10pm we decided to get out of the pool. As we were about to take a bath, the electricity shut down. I didn't know what went wrong but, while we were waiting we were catching fireflies which was kinda fun. And so the electricity went back up and we took our baths. We just ate and ate and ate little knick knacks and talked about our lives, other ppl, and college. Later that night we went up to the balcony and set up our camp there and we just stretched out our bodies and stargazed while listening to Issa's iPod touch [i want one! hahaha...kahit ano basta ipod ok na..XD]. And since we were many [and the mattresses are a tad small] we had to compress. And we slept under the stars [something i wanted to do for a very loong time]. We finally managed to sleep at about 3am but before that, Issa and I were saying random things like "kamusta kana, cartolina?".hahaha
The morning after, i woke up to find myself in a position that made me feel like I was in a straitjacket. And so by 7am we had breakfast. A few hours later, more ppl arrived. And we swam for a bit and had lunch. After lunch, some of our family friends went to Tagaytay to visit Amiel in the seminary. I managed to get some more rest at around 2pm. We headed for home sweet home at around 10pm.
And we arrived at around 12am already. And so that day eventually ended [i didn't want it to end!].
