My 22nd Birthday at Bahia... again!

I have always wanted to spend a whole night (and dawn) with my friends (friends only with no distractions) at the beach or at a resort. And finally, after how many years of planning a night such as that, it has come true on the eve of my birthday. What a way to celebrate my 22nd birthday! I certainly wanted to invite my friends from college but my mind was too full that time. If only I didn't have problems during those days, I would have enjoyed it so much. But I enjoyed it nevertheless. I had fun despite the things that bothered me, which my friends said was obvious even though I didn't tell them the real reason for my despair. But everything is okay now and I could only look back to the memories.

Anyways, it was actually not planned so well. At two in the afternoon, Naomi, Jay, and I decided to celebrate my birthday by spending a night at Bahia Resort Hotel located at Agus, Lapulapu City. We then went to Jen and Bes' place to invite them and called the rest of our ka-BERKS Paolo, Jojo, and Dido. After going to Mambaling, we went to Consolacion, at Naomi's place to get clothes for Naomi and at the same time ask permission from her father. From there, we went to Lapulapu, to pack things for myself.

Then it all began, Naomi, Jay, and I met Jen and Bes at Bahia and proceeded to our room. After a brief videoke session, Jojo, Paolo, and Dido arrived with two family-sized pizzas from Da Vinci. The pizzas were consumed so fast, as all of us were so hungry. We were expecting the Bahia people to serve food 24 hours but they didn't so we really had no food. We were not allowed to bring food at the resort by the way. So to ease our hunger, we ordered chips and bottles of San Mig Light and started our overnight drinking session. Hehehe....

However, the bottles of San Mig Light apparently didn't satisfy Paolo's cravings so we decided to smuggle Jollibee at Bahia. It was so fun running and hiding from the guards as if we were smuggling drugs. Hahaha... We turned off the lights and pretended to be asleep while all of us were consuming the fried chicken, spaghetti, burgers, etc... After eating, we went back swimming, and drinking, and talking again... until seven in the morning. We slept for about four hours and checked out from the resort at twelve noon. Then we had our lunch at Chowking Gaisano Mactan before going home.

Here are some of the pictures:

A Prayer in the Desert

We had just finished our pictionary sessions for that day when Manang startled us with a shocking news. Immanuel, or Iman as what we usually call him, the only nephew we have, was rushed to the hospital earlier that day. We were kind of late for the news as my eldest sister, Grace, only left an offline message to my other sister's (Nanette) yahoo account.  It was not really a cause of alarm for me at first as I knew that Ate is some kind of paranoid sometimes. She worries a lot and I thought that she overestimated the gravity of the situation.  Manang decided to call Ate though it was already around 4am Philippine time. I was only listening, something that I usually do as I'm not good in communicating affection to family members, or to anyone if I may say (but it doesn't mean that I don't care. I do, I really do care.) She first told us about the situation, that Iman was suffering from a disease worse than pneumonia, that his lungs were dirty, and that air could...

Discoveries

Imagine this kind of a scenario. There is a group of people that you completely trust with your life. You grew up with them, fellowship with them all of your life, and treated them as the best of your best friends. One of them, is extra special. You have a romantic connection with him and you trusted him completely without hesitation. And then you'll find out that this special person that you loved so dearly betrayed you. Not just once but many times. And his friends, the same group of people that you trusted, tolerated the actions of that special person and even joined him with his activities. All of them appeared to be harmless in front of you but they are totally different people when you turn your back. Huh, it's such a heavy feeling. Everything sank into me last Friday and I couldn't understand why I was able to fit the puzzle pieces together just last Friday. The news was actually not new to me but still I was surprised with everything that I found out. I fel...

Pray for a Partner!

I was surprised by the question that my sister threw at me one time, “Do you now have a boyfriend?” Caught off guard, I honestly said, “None.” It was true anyway. I don’t have a boyfriend now. But by the look of her face I could sense that she didn’t believe me maybe because I am so wasteful when it comes to cellphone credits and because I go out almost every night. It was obvious to her that I am seeing a guy. But I told her that the guy I’m seeing is not my boyfriend. He’s just a summer fling. Hehehe… and I don’t have plans of taking it to the next level with him (or who knows?! Ngek!). My sister continued to talk about my love life and as usual, I just kept quiet. It was always like that, I just listen to everything she says simply because I just don’t want to say anything. She was persuading me to spit out my affairs with the guy that I’m seeing but I told her that there is just nothing to spit out because nothing is going on between us in the first place. We’re just going out...
