i was planning to blog about it since i got home but i was too lazy.. tsktsk.. so i think i will miss a few stories but ill try my best to remember the things i did in the big city with the help of my trusty lil planner.. :)
day1 - took the 1:40 flight from tacloban to manila. my aunt was waiting for us at NAIA3. went to sta. lucia to pick up a cousin. and then to vista verde at cainta to hang out and let the relatives know we're around.. haha.. then to my aunt azon's place.
day2 - mayee's oath taking at manila hotel. on our way there i saw some historic buildings and streets.. it was nice. :) 52nd birthday of my mom and her twin brother and 23rd for my late cousin, che-che
day3 - went to Quezon City to look for a house for my younger sister. somewhere near st. Luke's hospital. we just took a cab since no driver was available. while waiting for a cab on our way home, the rain suddenly poured. and it wasn't a normal rain. it was heavy rain. the kind of rain that could start a flash flood.. heavy rain + no ride = worst possible scenario! boy it took us hours to get a ride! i was just singing to myself "heto ako basang basa sa cubao..." from that time on i said to myself i will never live in manila with my future family. (except for a job and when im single) boy it was tough. can't live like that.. city public transportation is something i can live without.. haha.. im content with my rural lifestyle.. if its urban then id choose cebu..
day4 - my aunt, mum, and sister went back again to continue looking for a house. i stayed at home. never will i torture myself again like that. in the evening we went to eastwood to just hang out. :) friends had a few drinks at the bedroom(name of the club) i had blueberry cheesecake! went around looked for a mall that's still open. there are lots of malls in there.. bought some candies. friends left. we waited for our pick up. stayed at dairy queen. i had their cheesecake icecream. it was super yummy! love it! went home around 2am. :)
day5 - went to Mall of Asia for the first time. :) they say its the biggest mall in asia. i dont find it so huge. it was just okay. idk why. mayee and i got matching flat shoes at TOMATO. it was cute. me and my younger sister has a lot of things similar. haha.. we've got the same dress, shoes, tank top, shirt, shorts, etc. only different colors.. haha.. i saw an ice skating rink! i so wanna go skating but we're running out of time because we still have to attend a party at the club house.. it took us 3-4hours to get back home. from MOA to cainta, rizal. TRAFFIC!!! in my mind i was cursing every passing hour.. tsktsk.. really really bad traffic.. arrived at the party around 9pm. bonding with the relatives..
day6 - we visited che-che at garden of gethsemane at antipolo. then we drove mama to the airport for her 2:40 flight. me and my sister attended the cainta ward (just across robinson's at junction)
day7 - i forgot what i did. i think i just stayed at home
day8 - me and my cousins watched SALT. it was pretty neat but i was disappointed with the ending. i really hate movies that'll leave me hanging.
day9 - mayee and i decided to go to divisoria. JUST THE TWO OF US. haha.. we're crazy! we took the the LRT2 and got down on recto. then we took a jeepney going to divisoria. it was like colon 10x busier, dirtier etc. (and all the other ers u can think of) we went inside 168 mall. heaven! hahaha.. got some really good deals. good thing im kinda good at haggling even if im bisaya.. haha.. for some reason they understood me.. went home satisfied.. :) i love it there. i bought so many compared when im at SM or ayala. i could've just bought 2 or 3 dresses with that money.
day10 - we were supposed to go to Manila Bay to do some rowing using the Dragon Boat. but we lack a few willing participants thus it did not push thru. tsk. anyway, in the afternoon i just decided to get another student permit since i lost my first one at cebu supercat terminal. i got myself a new student permit at marikina LTO. i saw humongous pair of shoes! saw a shoe museum and lots and lots of shoes.. :)
day11 - driving lessons with my uncle joey. while having my driving lessons i got a call from my ate telling me to rebook my ticket because she's taking us to EL NIDO!! me and my younger sister screamed! hahaha.. so we went to Robinson's Galleria to rebook my ticket. instead of aug9 ill be leaving on the 13th. after rebookin my ticket we got hungry. we looked for a fast food that's not in cebu. so we looked for wendy's but couldn't find it. since we soo wanna have a good burger and fries we decided to transfer to another mall. we walked to SM Megamall and looked for wendys. we used this touch screen mall map to locate it. good thing it was near because we were starving! i had their bacon and cheese burger. it was yummmm!! to satisfy your stomach go biggie!! and then after that we walked around and then we saw this shop with lots of bags. the store was on sale so my sister and i decided to buy a late gift for my mum :).. we got her a cute elegant orange bag.
day12 - Mayee's 21st birthday!!! we went to ocean park! lester,(mayee's bf) came along with us. he let me pay for his entrance. what a DB.. tsk.. anyway, we had fun at the park. lots of pictures but my sister has not uploaded it yet. remember: no FLASH! we saw this really huge fishes. as in HUGE.. the tube was nice but i wished it was longer and wider.. lots of sharks but not the huge ones. i was hoping to see a really huge shark having his lunch.. haha.. after that we went to MOA to meet up with mayee's friends and have lunch there. we had our lunch at JATUJAK. its a nice thai resatuarant. really good food. you should try their beef curry.. it was heavenly. ^_^ then toured around the mall. we went to baywalk and enjoyed the sea breeze.. took pictures and then it suddenly rained. went back inside the mall and mayee went shopping for stuff.. went back home tired but happy.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYEE!! MWAAHH!
day13 - went to antipolo to visit my cousin again. then attended the cainta ward again. made some friends. got some chocolates from the RS. went home and packed for our 4-day getaway to el nido palawan. :) EXCITED! but i have one huge problem. i didn't pack any swim wear. i wasn't expecting that we'd go on swimming.. tsk..oh well.. i have to work with what i got.. :)
day 14-17 - vacation at el nido. another blog entry. :)
day 17 - im supposed to fly back home the following day so i watched inception with my cousin and it was great! the movie was great! rarely do i get to see a really smart, well thought of plot.. 2 thumbs up to chris nolan! i will surely wait for your next masterpiece. :)
day 18 - my scheduled flight was on 2:40. i got there an hour before my flight. i hate Cebu Pacific. they took my seat away. i already booked that flight almost a month ago. i bought my ticket july19 and then they just gave it away. i wasn't even late. so to make up for the inconvenience they've caused me they gave me a voucher for a free flight within six months.. tsk.. so much for friday the 13th.. oh well.. maybe ill just use it sometime soon.. hopefully.. idk..
day 19 - left home really early. i was at the airport 3 hours before my scheduled flight. alone. i took my lunch there. really expensive food! waited and waited and waited.. i just listened to some feel-good music.. :) and then it was announced that our flight will be delayed. great. anyway, got on the plane around 3:15 read a magazine and before i knew it we were already landing on tacloban. :) jeepney ride to vhires. arrived at ormoc around 7:30pm. i miss m my hometown. no traffic. :) the thing i missed the most is my INTERNET CONNECTION. finally! reunited. ^__^
i had a great time in manila. ^_^
