May 9-14, 2006
At around 3pm, I rode the Victory Liner Bus #1885 heading to Dagupan. It was an adventure for me since it was my first time to travel alone for more than 2hrs. I was trying to keep myself busy to hide my nervousness. I was smiling alone excited at the same time wandering around.
During the 5-hr trip to Dagupan, I knew Ate Joy. She was heading to Tarlac. She was so nice and she started conversing with me. I felt good and at ease during that time. The story of her life. I was smiling all the way to Dagupan the moment she left the bus. It was such a great acquaintance.
I arrived in Dagupan Terminal at around 8pm and just waited for my “kapatid” to fetch me. After some time, I found myself fixing my things inside her room. To cut the story short, since I was there for almost a week, I’ll just give you an outline of what we did per day.
May 10 – Baguio
(sympre pumunta kme sa usual places kung ano pinpntahan don, minesview, mansion, pma at camp john hay… kaso, kamalas-malasan, nahuli si uncle lito! expired na pala ang license kaya ayun, pati yung plaka ng van eh kinuha.. tsk tsk tsk.. at umulan din nung pauwi na kme.. ay sus!)
May 11 – Manaoag & Sta. Barbara, Pedritos
(first time sa Manaoag, ang ganda ng place, gusto ko pntahan yung mga statues kaya lang pang-VIP yun e, wala kmeng connection nung mga panahong yon kaya nagdasal n lng, at nahawakan ko na din sya. Pumunta din kme dun sa frend ni zeny na priest at ang ganda ng lugar, nakita ko yung passion nung parish priest sa pagpapaganda nung simbahan na yon. Kumain kme sa Pedritos kung san makakabli ng masarap na pastries at ang “chiken sate”, bsta masarap! ganda pa ng resto, ang cute. ehehe.)
May 12 – Dagupan, Mall, Movie Marathon
(Since di kme makapnta ng Bolinao kse tinanghali na kme ng gising, inikot n lng namin ang Dagupan at nag-gym at sauna kme! wahehehe.. pag-uwi sa bahay, nag-movie marathon kme. naka-4 na dvds kme. 1st time din yon! wanep!)
May 13 – Manaoag, Mug Boul, Pasta Place
(Bumalik kme sa Manaoag para mag-mass, ksama n namin yung bestfrend ni zeny na si Mark. Ang kulet.. parang si Anjo! ehehe.. wala lang.. kain din kme dun sa isang pasta place na d ko na maalala yung name. then kain din kme shawarma. hehee.)
May 14 – Departure to Manila
(Ayan, last day na. Uwian na!)
“wala kmeng ginawa kundi kumain ng kumain!!! hahaha.. actually, nagpataba lang ako sa Dagupan e.. hehehe..”
I really had a great time! It was one of the best trips I had for the Summer. All I can say, “I’m Solved!!!”. Though there was the Typhoon “Caloy”, we never felt the strong wind in Dagupan and when we went back to Manila, it’s over. So basically, we were fortunate to to experience the typhoon.
I felt one of the Gomez’ Family. Zeny, my “kapatid” is so lucky and she’s really a FRIEND to keep. I can’t find the right words to describe her. But if you know her, you’ll agree with me. A perfect blend of “beauty and brains”, certified!!! =)
Zeny, I really am fortunate to be your friend. Labshu!!!
for the Gomez’ Family… THANK YOU!
