So, they proved me wrong. haha! All along I thought it would be a 3-day ordeal but no, it was not. It turned out to be otherwise. It was so uh, something better than fun, hmm...fun to the extremes?
PROLOGUE
Hours before the excursion, I was nervous. Not only because of the signs that we've noticed the night before but also because of my inferior PR skills. I almost wanted to backed-out. But right now, I'm so thrilled that I joined in the trip. haha! It was laughter, all the way.
Why did we go there? It was the birthday of Kuya Kevin ('lam nyo yun? yung varsity ng vollyball na magaling magbadminton. SIYA YUN! HAHA!) and it was like an outing to IV-St. Ma. Goretti and I thought the whole class was going. So, that would be 50+ people and I said, "WOAH! Ang yaman naman, andame namen tapos sa Fontana pa!" I was wrong. haha! We were only 13 and feeling ko VIP kame ng ate ko. haha! Para kaseng unexpected na isasama pa ako 'tas mga graduates na sila. Expect the unexpected...
FIRST DAY
The call time was 4 in the afternoon but since Ate Ixen was troubled because we might get into an accident, the four o'clock call time became three o'clock. The meeting place was McDo Gateway and I noticed something, everyone brought a rosary (including me). LOOOL~! Kuya Anton was already wearing his rosary and Ate Marla got four! Lahat talaga natakot XD but as fate might have dictated, we still arrived at the congested terminal four in the afternoon and we left the station 5:30 pm. Men! dameng tao sa terminal. Siksikan talaga! SUFFOCATION! When we boarded the bus, I just found out that it only got two seats on both sides and si Tita (mom ni Ate Ixen) ang katabi ko. haha! And to think na we both boarded the bus for the same reason: mga bantay kame, it's really funny kase we ended up seating next to each other and telling each other random things :))
The trip was quite fast. In just one hour and a half, we passed Cubao-EDSA-North EDSA-Balintawak-NLEX-Mexico, Pampanga- X (x marks the spot). So, we arrived there with our heavy baggages. Since we were 13 people, we can't fit in one CR-V. We had two trips. The first trip consisted of the girls plus half of the boys. The second batch? 5 boys plus Kate (Kuya Kevin's sister) and a mestiza (limot ko na pangalan nya ehh basta family friend) And Kuya Julian was already making suspicions that Kuya Anton and Kuya Neill might get to know this mestiza. He's driving the girls envious. LOL~!
"BEHAVE AND BEWARE!"
--Sila. (Babala daw nila Ate Kim at Ate Lala para kina Kuya Neill at Kuya Anton)
After an hour or so of waiting, they finally arrived! Probably, traffic caught them on the road. Then, we had dinner. The menu was an all Pinoy cuisine which consists of: Adobong Manok, Pusit, Pinakbet, Kilawen (it's an Ilocos dish which seems to be raw. Maasim siya.) tapos may isa pang gulay dish na limot ko na. We can't also fit in the dinner table. LOL! So, again, we ate in
batches. I heard na nagkaubusan ng ulam sa second batch. Kawawang Julian, naubusan daw ng ulam ni Kuya Marvin. haha! I really liked the pusit pero nagtira naman ako nuu. Oh, I also remembered their fridge, it was FULL! As in! There was this really huge (kasing laki ng maliit na balde) container containing tomorrow's BBQ plus a not-yet-opened Jumbo Bibbo Hotdog to which Ate Marla exclaimed in awe! Para bang tuwang-tuwa kase may Jumbo Bibbo Hotdog. Masarap nga daw kase :)) Then, we met their dogs. I only remembered one, KIM! I found it a coincidence kase ang pangalan ng owner ni Kim ay Kate na kapatid ni Kuya Kevin tapos dati, may aso kame ang pangalan ay Kate tapos ang may ari si Ate Kim. Nice one! HAHAHA!
After the satisfying dinner, (para sa akin. haha! ang greedy!) nagbuhay-kalsada naman kame. O-HA! Gabing-gabi na nun ahh...sumayaw-sayaw, naghandstand (sila), nagcheering!, nag-ala-Jabawockeez (hang-over po ang tawag dyan) at lahat ng kabastusan in all its good forms. Hehe... After all the buhay-kalsada, we went inside to hear them sing, may parang karaoke sila ehh. Favorites? Alone at Pasan. PEBORITS YAN AHH. After awhile, some got bored and played UNO cards instead and Kuya Almacen (di ko lam first name nya ehh) was dancing, dancing on the entrance. 'Lam nyo yung sa ibabaw ng pillars ng terrace? DUN YUN! HAHA! Nakakatawa kaya. But what really stopped the singing was darkness. GAWD! Bigla kayang nagblackout! HAHAHA! Nasa probinsya pa naman kame, baka may mumu! 'Tas ang inet pa. Kaya yun, buhay-kalsada ulet. Dapat may ghost-hunting ehh kaso bawal daw. Nako!haha! But who can forget "psst!"? T2 NA 'TO!
"Manuod po kayo ng T2, sa April 11 na po."
--Ate Marla. (free endorsement na 'yan ah, not talent fee needed :D)
Then lightness came, to our delight! Umilaw na at nagsipasok ang iba. Others stayed. We did some star-gazing. They are beautiful. The sky was clear of clouds, the stars are bright & the moon was shining down on us. I have never seen the stars to be twinkling so bright as this in many years. Many years did I yearn to go to the province and it happened. Ang drama eh, namiss ko lang talaga pumunta sa province. Ilang taon na rin ako di nakabalik s'min nuu. When the clock ticked 11:30, we watched "The Return to the Haunted Hill". It was sooo MORBID! Bodies being--ah basta! Kadiri talaga! And to think it's almost 12am, we can't squeal nor scream.
Take note: ang curfew para mag-ingay ay hanggang 12. HAHAHA! Di ko alam kung paano nila nasisikmura na pakinggan ang ingay namen hanggang hatinggabi. That's what you call CONSIDERATION.
After watching, all of us had this hangover. Sino ba naman ang di magkakagoosebumps dun?!? Grabe kaya! But it was already too late so some decided to go to sleep. In the room, I was the only one occupying the bed :D since I was the bunso. All the others were sleeping on mats on the floor at siksikan sila. Most didn't have their right dose of sleep and some didn't sleep at all (say Kuya Marvin and Kuya Roch) but I think (and everyone else) that I had the best sleep. LOL!
They were exchanging horror stories and playing PSPs. Kuya Marvin (because of his "wild" imagination) even claimed to have seen a ghost near the window. That made Ate Ixen and Ate Kim stay up all night. On the other hand, it was Kuya Kevin who made Ate Marla's night. At around 3am, a dog was barking then howling in a not-so-good way to which Kuya Kevin quickly responded, "Kapag ganyan tumahol ang aso, may gusto yan kainin." It was something like that. Takutan talaga ehh buti nalang nakatulog ako. haha! Kung hindi, puyat rin ako.
"Si Czarina lang ang nakatulog eh. Sa sobrang himbing ng tulog, kung ano ang posisyon nya pagtulog, yun ang posisyon nya paggising."
