Ranting about things
It was already 9am when I got our of bed. Normally by 9, I would already have showered and dressed up, have my contacts on and watched the news. Normally, that is. But that morning, we already had breakfast, well most of us ate instant noodles the night before. Gio, who did not have instant noodles the night before, was so hungry that he ordered a huge platter of pancit canton. When the order came, I was surprised with the amount of serving. It was a lot, but Gio chowed down with all his might and finished the whole plate.

The plan that day was to go to Don's friend's beach resort and take a dip in the beach. We were suppose to be there a little after noon,but the way thing went, we got there three hours past the time we expected. There were a lot of setbacks! We had lunch at UNO, but a lot of things followed after that. A lot of us needed to use the bathroom. By the way, someone, rather something, kept saying "hi" to me every time I lift the toilet lid courtesy of someone I shall not name. Finally, Misha and Enzo decided to sleep without telling us who were still downstairs and eating lunch. We left Waterfront at about 3pm already.

Since Enzo had a hangover and motion sickness, he sat in front and we had Gio to sit in the back with us from then on. Oh My God! Every time we had to ride that car, I was hoping that Jonats would just lie down on our laps. It was totally cramped. I don't know if Gio is the one that receive this comment usually, but for the moment, he definitely deserves, if not already owns, this: "Patalo." It was like this for the last few rides we were taking in Cebu. :))

When we got to the resort, I wasn't awed with the beach itself, but with the ocean. It has been a while since I last saw the ocean. Ah wait, I've seen the ocean the other day at Plantation Bay. I'm leaving that remark for everyone to see how I forgot that detail. :)) Anyways, I was in my Korean Sando that I got from Surfer's Paradise hoping that the tan line on my arms would go away.


At White Sand Villas
Sunbathing me

A common knowledge among my close friends is that I don't know how to swim, and that I drowned in Splash Island when I was young thrice in a day. From then on, I never wanted to learn how to swim. :)) But before I got into college, there was a circulating rumor already that Ateneo will be requiring its student to take swimming as a requirement before they graduate from Ateneo. This news freaked me out. So during my last summer break for high school going to college, I took swimming lesson at our school swimming pool, which by the way was owned by a family friend. But, I still didn't learn how to swim.

With the sun waning, sunbathing wasn't really productive anymore. So, I decided to swim with the guys. After learning how to float the other night at Plantation Bay, I learned how to swim at White Sand Villas. It started out when I noticed that i won't drown in the 2ft area because I can easily stretch my arms to the floor and lift my head to breathe. So from there, I tried swimming and I did. The only thing that I was not able to do was move fast enough to reach the other side. By the time I reach halfway, I was already tired. By the way, halfway is about just five steps when you're standing upright. :))

Drowning?
Drowning? :))

Moving on, the day ended with dinner at McDonalds. But before I grab something to bite, I got myself another instant noodles from the convenience store a few step from McDo and a bottle of C2 for breakfast the following day. After I ordered and eat, the guys asked me to an impersonation of a Korean by saying the line "Sparkling Korea." I guess I do look Korean with the right get-up and attitude.

After eating, we dropped Enzo off at Waterfront before we go buy more pasalubong for Gio's family. Damn! He already got so much from our first trip to get pasalubongs for his family, and now he's getting more and still for his family. Harharhar (Hahaha is definitely different from harharhar, so does party is different from party).

When we got back to the hotel,I packed my stuff already so all I have to do when I get up is take a shower and put on my contact lenses. After, we watched the Wedding Singer starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, but halfway, pun. I really can't stay awake anymore and decided to go to bed.

The following morning, I was up at about 6am. We were suppose to be at the airport at around 8am to check-in, so I boiled some water and ate my noodles for breakfast right away. Shortly after, I change from what I was wearing and finished the packing. When Don got to Waterfront, we headed for the airport to check our bags in first. We went out right after to have breakfast at UNO. After breakfast, Don's dad gave us a tour around the casino and gave each of us a thousand peso chip to bet, but there wasn't enough time to do that because it was already getting late and we really needed to go back to the airport. GAWD! The airport is literally a few minute walk from that hotel. :))

Before we got in the airport, Don gave us sylvannas, which my mom wanted me to buy for her and relayed to Don to bring me where I could get one, but instead gave it as a gift. :)) Thanks Don! In the airplane, I was so envious of Gio, because he gets to seat beside the cute baby!

When we got back to Manila, I was picked up from the airport by mom and dad, and we went to Baclaran. It was really hot there. Mom and Dad got order for something so we needed to head for Manila. When we got to Manila, I was pretty hungry so i got myself Tien Pao, or fried Siopao. :)) I also went around 168, there are a lot of stuff around. There was also this Chinese dude being laughed at by some sales lady I was buying a drink from. I just can't help myself but feel bad for the guy. Anyways, this is the last entry with regards to the Cebu Trip, I hope you have fun reading if you ever did :)) XD To Don, thanks again for the accomodation. To my Topico Family, I love you guys! To the girls, I had fun with you! To Jeff, I love your house! :)) I love Cebu! :))

I remember just now, Don kept on saying that me and Jonats were good object when taking pictures because we don't pose for the camera. :)) Cool! :)) We are natural! :)) So that's the whole Cebu Trip. Topico had fun! :) Gian, we missed you dearly! :)) See you next time hopefully :))
