Ranting about things
A lot of things had already happened, but it just got better and better. i don't know what we were suppose to do that day, but I showered right after I got out of bed and checked if my shorts were dry after dipping in the jacuzzi the night before. Unfortunately, it wasn't dry yet, and as much as I want to use the hair-dryer to wring off the remaining moisture I really care for the environment, so I decided to go out of the room and air dry it.
Fast forward to nine in the morning when almost everyone was up, I started packing while the other just started to take a shower. As usual, I'm the first one to finish packing. I just read some more of Dean Koontz's The Face, which by the way I just finished reading just now, and silently waited for Don while also trying to figure if I forgot to pack anything.
When Don got to Plantation Bay to pick us up, we were suppose to go sightseeing, but the other guys wanted didn't want to so I just let it slip away. I really wanted to see old buildings, especially those that had a lot of history of people dying. If given a chance and that there is one in Cebu, the concentration camps from the reign of Adolf Hitler would be part of my itinerary. Hahaha. I like seeing people die. I'm squeamish, but I like seeing it happen. I'm probably a "psycho," this would make sense to my old friends.
From Plantation Bay, we went back to Waterfront to drop our stuff. The first thing I did when we got there was drink the Lipton Red Ice Tea that I got the other day when we went grocery-ing. Hahaha. Right after, we went straight to heaven. Rather, we went to a place where earth meets heaven. I don't remember the name of the restaurant, but I recommend it to everyone who will drop by Cebu!




After that we went to the Mac Center right beside the buffet restaurant, and checked if they already have the new Macbook. It wasn't in stock yet, about a week or so they said. Anyways, I've already seen the new Macbook at my favorite hangspot. It was sleek, but the black rim of the screen kinda offs me. Back to the topic, we saw some Ateneans that modeled for the that Mac Center. Laughtrip.
Back into that cramped car courtesy of Gio, I started having motion sickness with all the food i ate. I normally get motion sick if I eat a lot, but this one makes me think if I really do have high blood pressure. Apparently not. This went on until about early afternoon. It dissipated later on.
We headed for Ayala Center where we looked for souvenirs for ourselves. I didn't like anything from the first store. Sick, I decided to head off for the bathroom to throw up, but I quickly got that idea off and instead headed for National to see if they have paperback copy of Twilight. Luckily, I got saw one at once. But I also wanted to grab a copy of the second one. Luckily again, I noticed that the book I was holding was the second book. Hahaha. There wasn't any Twilight. I'm gonna get a copy some other time I guess.

We looked around some more and I saw "me." The shirt was perfect, but they didn't have my size, so Jonats got the shirt instead. Talk about having the same taste. I got a black sando instead from Surfer's Paradise. There were actually two sandos which I fitted. Both have the same design, but the other one was red. they said I looked like a Korean in both. I wanted to get both, but the total for both went over a thousand so I decided to just get the black one instead. :)) I got the other shirt I , which Jonats got himself, just a few hours later when we went to the SM branch of the franchise. Hahaha.
After that, we went karting. We already went there earlier that afternoon, but the there was an excursion that makes it impossible for us to have a go anytime soon. This was the transition between Ayala Center and SM. It was for the better since I still feel sick during this time. When we went back at around 7pm, we had a go. Let's just leave it there. I don't want to give excuses. :)) It was fun though, but the equipment were way too old and under-maintained. The track also had potholes... wait I wasn't suppose to say anything :))


After everything else we headed for Hilltop. It was a place where you were suppose to be able to see the whole Cebu. Guess what? it was damn foggy. Cebu was nowhere to be seen from the top. It also turned out that tops was also the destination of other Ateneans who were in Cebu. :)) Later on that night, we got to see Cebu, but not after taking tons of photo, drinking, and dancing. :)) We had chips for dinner, which I'm fine with especially if its Lays Original. XD






When we got back the hotel, it was about 3am already, but I decided to crash Enzo's place and eat the remaining noodles we got the other day. It was a great way to end/start the day. After that, I got my much deserve sleep. :)) For this entry onwards, I will be using Flickr® if there will be more than 3 photos, because it is easier to upload the photo that way. :) (Note that I decided to revert back to the old way of posting images)
