annual program outing
I'm still aching all over. Huhuhu!Yesterday, I had a hard time getting out of bed because I felt so sore.I didn't care.I still don't.Because I had a blast swimming on Labor Day! :DFinally, our annual clan outing pushed through. We weren't complete, because the others had previous engagements but everyone who could make it enjoyed the day.I woke up at 5 am, coz we intended to leave the house by 6am so we wouldn't encounter the usual holiday traffic at SLEX. Hehehe... we were able to leave the house at 6:45 am, and after a quick stop at Ministop to buy ice and a splash and dash at Petron (uy, plugging :p), we were on our way to Pansol.The drive was pleasant from the Sucat Interchange until the Calamba tollgate, where the traffic started. My cousins and I were texting each other, keeping track where we were, coz we left at different times and they came from Manila. They took a shortcut and while we were at a stoplight, we saw their van turn right from the intersection to the main road. They were ahead of us! Consideering they left their house before 7 and came from Manila, while we left 15 minutes earlier and came from Las Pinas, they were fast. Hahaha!We were frantically texting back and forth, taunting each other that we'd overtake their vehicle and we'd arrive at the private resort first. They were 5 cars ahead of us but they didn't turn left where they should have so we ended up arriving first. Hahaha! it was fun. :DAs soon as we unloaded our things, we changed into our swimming gears, took showers and jumped into the pool. Well. the kids were already in their swimsuits so when we arrived, they went straight to the showers and jumped to the pool. Oh. I forgot. We slathered on lots of spf45 sunblock first, coz we didn't want to get sunburned.While the moms were busy singing their hearts out (there was a videoke machine - a must at family gatherings!), we were having fun in the pool. (Pictures to follow asap)
Of course, since there's a videoke machine, I wouldn't let the day end without hogging it for a while. Heehee!Lunch was a gastronomic delight. I planned on taking a picture of the table before eating. but I completely forgot about it. :p After resting a bit, we were back in the pool, swimming to our heart's content. The weather was great. It wasn't as hot as it was last Saturday, and it even drizzled a bit. Because of that, and mostly because of the partially covered pool and oodles of sunblock, we didn't get sun burned. Woohoo!As soon as we got home, the exhaustion set in and I was asleep by 9pm (My earliest sleeping time in years - I usually fall asleep past 1am).It was a truly enjoyable day with the family.I can't wait to see the pictures. :DEDIT: some of the pictures have been uploaded here.----------------------Oh, by the way, kindly click on the icon below and help me win an ipod from AXN. Hehehe! You'd have your chance to win, too, when you save me. :) Thanks!
Finally, after a week of blog non-activity, I'm back. :) Hopefully, this will be a happier post than the last one.Yesterday was my sister's
birthday. There was no big celebration (just like I want mine to be
:D), we just cooked spaghetti and pizza and shared it as a family.
Yumm...As of today, it looks like our annual swimming trip is
going to push through. I've spoken with two of my aunts over the
weekend about it. I'm going to my tita's house tomorrow and we're going
to plan it. Yey!Some friends and I are also planning a trip to
Puerto Galera, sometime in May. I hope it pushes through, coz the last
time we went on a beach sojourn was three years ago. :) It's about time.If both swimming trips pushes through, I'm preparing myself for patong-patong na sunburn.
Woohaha! No biggie though. I can jsut stock up on Papaya soap and I'll
be back to my normal coloring in no time at all. Besides, the trip and
the company would be worth it.My birthday is exactly six days away.Six days until I hit the big 30.Yikes!Honestly though, I don't feel like I'm gonna be 3 decades old. Sana, I
don't look like it, too. Hahaha! The only time I feel older is when I
see my younger cousins and the siblings of my friends. That's when I
notice how big they are now, when I can still remember them in diapers.
Nyak!It doesn't bother me that I'm getting older. What bothers
me is when people ask the never-ending question: "When are you getting
married?" Goodness! I think the whole time I've had this blog, I've
written about this everytime my birthday is coming up. Maybe they're
just curious, or they have a nosy personality. I don't know. The
question per se doesn't bother me, what bothers me is how some people
ask it, like I'm to be pitied because I'm not married yet. Ugh! Hello?
I don't need your pity. Of course, I'd like to get married one day, but
I'm not rushing and I'm not worried, so why should you be? It's not
like I'll be miserable if I'm not married. Can't I be single, fabulous
and love it? ;)Sometimes I think about the what ifs, and then
I'd realize that if it's meant to be, then it will happen. Does that
sound fatalistic? :p I guess so, but I just like to take things as they
come.
I was talking to Clare a few days back and I mentioned that
I'm a bit scared of turning 30. Not because I'm not married yet, but
because I'm not anywhere near the goals I've set upon turning this
age. I feel like there's so much I can accomplish but I haven't yet,
and I'm getting a bit impatient. Classic quarter life crisis. Aren't I
over it yet? Hehehe!
I think this Holy Week is a good time for me to reflect on it. :)
