ITS' BORING. hahahahaha.
i've spent last night with the best way to spend it. :) hahaha. Gossip Girl!
i watched the sisterhood too. too much of Blake Lively? :)) love her.

It's the first time i would probably spend my Holy Week here in manila. so holy week is REALLY holy. we would go to a "washing of the feet" mass later. hmmm. i sort of miss quezon na tlg. i mean, by this time... i'm suppose to have a great beach day. or a hike at the mountains. that place is really great coz at the back of our house, there would be mountains. and every morning my dad would be shooting for birds (tsk) and i would accompany him wherein i would carry the airgun's oxygen and stuff. when we get to a place where there's coconut and where our carabao's graze, we'd rest for a while and we'd do some shooting. we usually have competitions with the air gun. whoever makes the coconut fall (by shooting it 7m away) wins! :D i miss those happy times. in front of our house is a great beach! not to mention the big rocks that would extend up to 40 m. from shore and it's really great to watch the sunset there. the rocks are not that high, it's really low so the water's just right THERE! :D then there are great views. my tita and i would usually do some sketching every morning. she's really a great artist. then every easter sunday, we would throw a big party where all our relatives (i mean it, they're too many! it's like 100 cousins!) would come and they'd celebrate it with us. travelling is also via boat. small fishermen boat not the sossy ones. you won't see any of those there. and when it's to take a bath after swimming? you take a bath at the poso at the back of our house. you don't take a bath at the cr after swimming. :) it's REALLY probinsya style. :) it was right there at the poso when i actually encountered a real SNAKE. i was terrified thinking that i might be attacked, but.. good thing it was just passing by.. hahahaha. one thing i do hate about that place are the jellyfish. but after 4 years of going there everytime we could. i've learned to distinguish the good ones with the harmful ones. :) yeah, we usually play volleyball with the good ones. : just stay away from the tentacles. i've been a victim once and it REALLY hurts. after swimming, at 5-6pm, we usually pick up shells. :) they're all over the beach so it's really wonderful. :) then we'd go to the bog rocks too for the sunset. :) you'd really see how the sun sets there. it's so awesome. during mornings, it's lowtide. so there would be sand islands (probabaly 100 m long) that would appear in the middle of the sea and we would go there for jogging. and there would be some crab holes too! hahaahaha. it's really cute. everytime we eat, we eat at the "bahay kubo" big dining table made of kawayan and the view of the beach. :) we would even prefer to take our naps there coz its cold during the day. :) then, at night, i would stay at the grassy part where they usually hang there clothes, where we play volleyball/badminton and soccer. i'd stay there at night and i would lie down looking at the stars and at the fireflies on the trees. :) then, i play hide and seek with my cousins or have a ghost story with my yayas or titas at the attic (its really scary there). there's this window at the attic with a great view of the sea. there are boat lights and fireflies. :) and when you go to the roof, you can lay down there and watch the stars! :) amaziiiinnggg.

when it's time to go, we'd be having a 30-45 mins boat ride to the "bayan". :) it's so cool coz in each FISHERMAN BOAT, there would be the luggade and probably 10-15 people?! the water would praobably be 5-9 inches away from you. at first, we were so afride coz it might sink. the kids even had life vests with them (i was part of it). but eventually, we don't wear them anymore. there was even this one time when there was really a great storm but we have to go. it was high tide (we always leave when it's high tide), and the waves were really big. it was really a ROLLER COASTER RIDE! but surprisingly, i enjoyed being at that boat during that moment. :) one in a lifetime experience. then we suddenly ENTERED a rainy part. yes! it was so cool coz there actually was a rainy part. it was like going through some thing. :) AWESOME.

i really miss that place. my dad's there right now. i can't come coz it was my final exams and my brother's graduation. i would also usher for the senior's grad. so it gonna be a NO NO for me. :( but i hope we would go there this april or may. :) can't wait.
