summer happened so fast...
am so tired yet so fulfilled and happy...three nights din akong hindi natulog sa kama ko...
three nights of cramming my whole vacation...
hmm...as i said earlier, i've been to club manila east last wednesday and thursday...originally, it was my sister's barkada outing...since they're so friendly, they invited me to come...fine! it was more of me inviting myself since they're going swimming at club manila east and i've never been there and i wanted to go there...so there!
i went shopping with cathe and kim last monday (april 11)...i bought a new bikini bottom for my old tankini to make it look different...i didn't have that much dough to buy a new tankini kasi...my money's not even enough for me to buy a new pair of board shorts like the one i saw at penshoppe...it's not that i don't have any money at all...i was just being thrifty for future expenses like more shopping at glorietta with my sis and going sportclimbing at Nature's Park sometime this weekend. anyway, after much thought that day, along with cla's cool idea, me, cathe, and kim decided to pool some cash so that we can spend the night at club manila east...after some careful accounting and several phone calls to different people, we were able to pool enough cash for a nice villa at the CME.
as if it was our lucky day last wednesday, we were able to generate a big amount of cash enough for one meal at the CME...we needed that because we can't bring food and drinks inside the resort...imagine this, to save money, we brought our own baon and ate at the parking lot using our sarongs as mat. it was still fun despite the heat...we also rented a locker until noon since we can't enter the villa earlier. it was a good thing that one of us had a car where we can put all our belongings for the meantime.
it was fun being with my sister's friends...there were nine of us that time...CME was a class AA resort...it was so big...we went boating in one of the pools...it was a good exercise...the villa was so beautiful too...i can live there already...it has a bathtub, tv, microwave oven, ref, dining set and much more...
i had my summer lines (as cal would have it) after that...it was so cool...having spent my own money for my own vacation...
we left at about noon last thursday to go to UP for enrollment...wala pa nga kaming money ni sis...hinabol lang ni papa at around 4 pm...the line at AS was long already so we paid at the Melchor bldg.
later on at around midnight, my father decided to bring us along for his trip to bicol...i'm kinda used to that...spontaneous packing and all...there were 7 of us in my dad's relatively new van...all four of us in the family plus tito nanding, tito ben, and tito dick...the 10 hour drive was really worth it. bicol is so beautiful...it also happens that the province where we stayed is my bessy's province too...we stayed at a hotel for two nights...i didn't swim though since i was somewhat saturated from all the swimming i did for the past few days...but i do have to admit that the water seems to lure me...
the food was not that great though...so usual...hey! but at least we had food to eat right? i got to see the mayon volcano and the cagsawa ruins last saturday...i tell you, i had fun shopping that day...the bags there are so cheap...if it just wasn't tiring to go back and forth to bicol, i'd be going back there every weekend to go bag shopping...
we went back home at around noon that sunday...we arrived here at cainta at around 12 midnight...it was such a long ride since the traffic was heavy at SLEX...
and now, summer classes has started...transport strike pa...i had trouble going back home...good thing that my sister was with me...we hitched a ride from her blockmate...then we rode the FX back home...good thing we weren't stranded...they should've suspended classes earlier sana...
and now, i gotta rest...am so tired...
