a bittersweet weekend

just when i thought everything is fine (not what i prefer pero ok na din) a cloud covers the bright blue sky...

olie and i went to Subic this weekend.. we availed of the free accomodation that i won in one of the raffles. --> I won, not olie.. hehehe.. kasi nman prati sya lang nananalo.

Highlights..

• Morning trip: 9am, January 8. Victory Liner Pasay
• ang sarap ng Wimpy's burger! for P59, may cheeseburger, fries and iced tea na.. ang sarap pa ng iced tea.. ice cold and hindi tinipid sa flavor/powder.. (we were goin to order pa sana softdrinks coz we didn't see that a drink was included in the meal tapos sabi nung girl na order-taker, "may iced tea na po na kasama". wow talga. tipid!
• oops! wrong turn.. shucks scary naman dito.. next left pa tayo dapat mag turn to go to our hotel.
• nku ampanget namn ng hotel. i mean, considering na "Days Hotel" ang carry nya na name.. super disappointing. well, what the heck.. tuloy ang life.. free naman e.. and just for 1 night.
• shared CR with the other room.. reminds me of the CR sa Carlota. di bale, no one is staying in the other room naman. so nka lock yun door to the other side.
• i was lying in the bed when suddenly, olie sat down... naputol yun paa nung bed.. hahaha.. and then we thought palilipatin na lang kami ng room.. aba, tama ba namang may dumating na carpenters and right then and there, they placed new paa (actually madami) to the bed.. actually funny sya talga.. un nga lang i was so tired from the bus ride, di ko na ma appreciate yun humor and hilarity of the situation.
• Picture taking of the sunset at boardwalk.. Ubos 18 remaining shots from an old film of 36 shots.
• met violy at Park and Shop. Chika updates with violy, mostly CADP chismis.. kwawee naman me... mommy ni sonny un nagsabi na hiwalayan na nya ako.. huhuhu ;-)
• super daming food for dinner: Pista sa blah blah: sinigang na baboy, tortang talong and tanigue. may takeout pa ang violy.
• GOOD NEWS: maru gave birth to a baby girl Nina. BAD NEWS: ka birthday ni Odin. CS.
• early night.
• the morning after: aba! the door was being opened! housekeeping! and we were still in bed.... SNORT! SNORT!!! hahahaha
• pictorial: JEST camp: birds, overlooking, orchids, bonsai plants.
• Lunch at Pancake House near the Spanish Gate
• pictorial: boardwalk near the Flag (which wasn't raised that day), and the statues and the bay...
• BAD NEWS: maru had hysterectomy. her uterus was removed. she and aybeam can't have any kids anymore... (gloomy thoughts..)
• Malling: Freeport, Royal. Got pasalubong: Gummy bears and chocolates.
• afternoon trip: 2pm Olongapo to Cubao.

we took the MRT to Ayala where we had the pictures developed. snacked at Subway, Glorietta while waiting. Great pics, btw. the shuttle took 10 years to get full.. got home at half past 8 in the evening.
