Weekend Getaway

Last Saturday and Sunday was the Rosales family outing...! Early saturday morning they woke me up... tapos sabi wag na daw maligo, hehe. Pero naligo pa rin ako! Tapos un went to bayan to help packed the things and meet Tito Mel in Star Lipa. So all in all four cars kami... LANCER: Me, Tita Arlin, Aly, and Lola; BESTA: Tito Ronnie, Mommy Gina, Miko, Ian, and Tito Ric; CRV: Tito Mel, Tita Ginny, and Nina; ADVENTURE: Dr. Vicki, Kuya Jun, Tracy, Monica, and Tita Lala. Ang layo pala, i think two hours ang biyahe! Malapit pa ang UST, plus the traffic na un ha... mas malapit minus that. :) Nakakatawa lang si Tita Arlin... kasi dami namin nadaanan fiesta... so medyo traffic pero not the "manila congestion"... she kept fooling people! As in hindi naman niya kilala kinakayawan niya, binubusinahan niya, sinisigawan niya! She even asked someone kung saan bahay ni Ka Elo Rosales, aba akalain mo nga sabi nung babae lampas na kami... wahehehe! E andon naman si Lola, what a coincidence. ;) So much for Tita's anthics... so about past 11 nakarating na rin kami (leaving around 8 or 9). BALUARTE ESTATES Calatagan, the name of the place where Shell has their resthouse inside. The place was nice, deserted. Sobrang gabok ng daan, parang nag-powder ang cars. ;) The house was quite big, it has two enormous rooms with two big beds each. But still we have our kutsons dahil hindi kami kasya sa beds. :) Tito Mel showed the map and ung dinaanan namin, ang layo... Calatagan was the end parang peninsula na. After lunch natulog, hehe. Tapos laro uno, ingay naman ng kiddos! Tapos swimming... sa pool just outside. Nothing special about it ang init lang ng water even hapon na mga around 5, sana malamig na lang. Anyways nilapit na lang namin ung sprinkler for added effect, harhar. Tapos sa katabing golf course may malaking sprinkler, as in malaki... how we wish un na lang samin. ;) Dinner came and after it swimming ulit. :) The water was still warm, may kasama kaming swimmer si Nins... hehe. :) 10 kami natapos, sleeping time. No TV or movies, sayang we bought pa naman a tv and dvd player kaso ewan ko ba! SNOOZE katabi Tita Lala and Aly.

SUNDAY

urgh! Badtrip, woke up early to catch mass... not in the mood. Hindi ako naligo, hihi. I took a bath the previous night naman e. ;) Sa church sobrang antok ako! Oh by the way a trivia: Calatagan was mostly owned by the Ayala-Zobels :) Got to see their Hacienda Bigaa... hehe. ;) Pagkauwi namin naligo ako! We ate breakfast and prepared for the beach. :) Kasi pangit daw beaches sa Calatagan sa Nasugbu kami pumunta, with Tito Padre. The beach was ok, ordinary pero ok naman. Ang fine ng sand and ang init ng hangin. Went swimming with the kids (the adults don't wanna risk their skins, hehe). Ang salty ng water, sakit sa mata... once in a while I went to the shore to put fresh water sa eyes ko. Tapos maalon but surprisingly the water was cold and the sun doesn't hurt. :) We buried Tito Ric in the sand, hehe. :) After a while ayoko na, enough na... :) Sabi nila hindi naman ako nangitim, pero I can see the difference now, after a day. Everyone were all ready to go... we went to a well known Halo-Halo stand (actually hindi siya stand e, parang resto na halo-halo lang... basta!) the best in town! I forgot the neme though, sheesh! Dami nga pumupunta, even daw celebrities... hmm. Is that true? I am not the Halo-Halo fan, I prefer Mais con Yielo pero after tasting their Halo-Halo... love it! Sarap nga... no wonder they are famous. Since hometown 'to ni Tito Padre we went to their house and nanungkit ng indian mango. :) GOING HOME NA! The chaos begins, hehe. Since gabi na nun, madilim ang daan... with the same people... malabo ang ilaw ng Lancer... aun. We missed one turn, almost hit some idiot lying on the road, and hit a tire... na malaki! I thought nabangga na ung mama sa tabi, nagpapalit ata ng gulong... harhar! On my side pa naman. :) Pero smooth sailing na after... the three cars (Tito Mel & family left) were together once again. :) Missed home... when we arrived andito pala sina Auntie Sim and Sarah (Velasco side) pero they left na rin after. Mother's Day... siempre I greeted Inayski. :) Hay, saya naman... pagod lang... and many baths. ;) Hoping for another next summer. :)

Oh, Mikko's bday today! Happy Birthday! :)
