Tricycle Driver's Rule

I went to my dentist earlier today to change my elastics. After that, I went to SM hypermart to buy some sushi, but there was no sushi. I was devastated because I could not satisfy my cravings. Its been ages since I ate my last sushi. Well anyway, when I went there, I hired a tricycle since I don't have a car.

Usually, I'm paying Php10 because I'm a student and every tricycle driver has an I.D. like thingy that is hanged in their tricycle which contains their prices in hiring them.

For regular people, the fare would be 11 pesos.
For students and senior citizens, it would be 9 pesos.

Eh ngayon, I paid 10 pesos. Tapos sabi niya, "Eleven ading!" grimacing face with a slighlty high tone voice.
I said, "Manong student nak".
He said, "Awan ading pinag seseran, awan nukwan." Scratched his head with a grimacing face and high toned voice.
Then I said, "ay? Ganun?"

Bibigyan ko na sana ng 100 para mas lalo siyang mabwiset but I gave him 50 pesos and recieved my change. I was about to picture his face but he drove very fast so I only took his tricycle's photo.




Sayang kaya yung piso ko. And when I went home, I asked the other manong tricycle driver if magkano ang fare.

Sabi niya 11. Banat ko naman, Student naman ako manong, and sabi niya, "ay, 10 nukwa ading."


Kahit sabihin niyong piso lang yan, hindi uubra sa akin yan. Hindi mabubuo ang 10 pesos pag walang piso no! Hahaha

And natutupad lang ba ang rule na 9 pesos ang fare ng students kung may pasok? Eh di sana linagay din duon na "Students 9 pesos--KUNG MAY PASOK!" .

The Spontaneous Outing (2 Friends Missing)

After all the beach and road trips I had, I finally craved for a swim in a pool. But, I didn't want to add more sun burns on my skin so I asked my friends if we could have a night swimming at the nearest resort in the city as soon as possible.

So, on the 1st day of April, I was filled with fools and stuff. However, it was also reported that the CETC (the biggest building at MMSU) was burning. I thought it was a prank since its April... But everybody was talking about it, like "OMG THE CETC IS ON FIRE HUHUHU" or "THE CETC IS ON FIRE! NO MORE MINOR SUBJECTS!" and the like. I also heard the fire trucks' siren on the other side of the long national road and what assured me is that the ABS-CBN crew went at the site also. For more details, you can read Mr. Herdy Yumul's blog at riknakem.net

Now, you see, after I did all my errands, I went home, packed up my things, put on my bikini and went to Midland resort which is located at San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte near the boundary of Batac and San Nicolas. Sorry, I don't have a photo of the signage. We were all there--Zhazha, Kenzie, Eymard, Tine, Gelia, Greggy, Vanessa, Her Boyfriend and My Twin Sis.

Okay... The thing here is that Rizzia and Gedra were missing. Rizzia was the one who sent group messages which contained the plan that we will be having a night swimming and so on... Gedra was sick so she didn't come. Well, for Rizzia, because she is so maarte like me, her Mom accidentally locked their room and things went wrong. Rizzia did not showed up. I was insisting her to come even if its already 6:30. She's so maarte kase, she missed all the fun.

Actually, this blog is for her. I'm making her inggit even more even if she had seen these photos. Hahahaha

Oh anyway, photos are not mine. I grabbed them from Kenzie and almot of our photos were taken by Eymard (her boyfriend).

Hahahaha! this photo was a failure! But I like it!



If you noticed that my sister is not in the picture, she's there but she's hiding because she didn't make paalam to her boyfriend. Hahaha OOOPPPSSS!!!!


Hi Rizzia! This is for you my friend! Hahahaha! You know that I love you and I want you to envy us so bad because of not showing up and I kept on insisting you to come. Para naman mafeel mo na love ka namin, tagging you is not enough, so this blog is for you! Mwaaa! :)))

Summer it is II ( sunkissed skin)

Day 1 was a blast... But day 2 was even better.
Well, even if the plan was a bit disorganized and quite chaotic, I had fun!
We all planned to travel at 5:30 in the morning so we could have a place at pagudpud. Sadly, everybody had their hard drinks last night and they woke up so late. I was very pissed because I was so excited to wear my bikini and to lay down on the white sand of pagudpud! HAHAA!

We ended up traveling at 8:00 am and Hannah's beach resort was already full. We ended up parking and the very end of the island and we had no cottage. We just sat on the back of our pick up and placed my little umbrella. It was a great mess and I was blaming everybody for not waking up so early. And if all of you including them happens to read this, NOW YOU KNOW Guys. HAHAHA!

Fortunately, a very kind woman offered the cottage infront of their house and we used it for FREE!
Hurray for that kind woman.

The beach was so blue and refreshing even if the heat was stinging my delicate skin ( CHAROT!). I had to wear my long sleeves and animal print sunglasses which I snatched from my Mom when she had her last vacation. I also applied a lot of sun screen SPF 100 to make sure I wont get any tanner.





Well, I did not take off my long sleeve because I was too afraid of getting my skin tanned even more. So, I just went to the beach with my long sleeve and my swim wear beneath that.

The water was cold and refreshing but it badly hurt my eyes. It was extremely salty unlike the other beaches here in Ilocos. I had to use my shades in the water but it was no use, so I snatched my brothers goggles. Hahaha!





yep, this is me before and after swimming. (Before in white long sleeves)



I see what you did there Tito Ferdie.


After playing under the sun for a couple of minutes, we packed our things, waved good-bye to the beautiful beach of Pagudpud and went straight to the famous Patapat bridge.

It was yet again, very refreshing. I nearly cried and wished that my boyfriend was there at that moment. But you see, I enjoyed my summer get away, even if my skin went darker.

We also stopped at Burgos light house to watch the sun depart from the skies. It was a wonderful thing tobwatch. It relieves your pain inside abd it just melts your heart away from those misery and troubles... Summer is really a precious time of the year and all I want next summer is to have a perfect vacation with my loved ones. 😊

SUMMER it is...

It's been so long since I had my last visit to a real BEACH---with blue waters, white and fine sands, the seemingly end of the ocean kisses the sky. It's really breath taking. So, my cousins and their friends visited our beautiful place--Ilocos Norte to have their so called BAKASYON ENGRANDE. Ate Michelle (my cousin) brought his boyfriend because he is going to Canada soon (and I think he's already there.

On their first day here, we went to Vintar dam, which I wasn't supposedly be going but I was dragged by my cute little brother to go with them. So, I ended up wearing my PAMBAHAY shorts and had a very very quick change of top. I also ended up going with a messy hair so I had to braid it. Anyway, vintar dam was a really nice place. It had this a tall building with a beautiful scenery... When we reached our destination. I didn't even figured out that jumping was the only way for you to reach the waters. I mean, even if I am not going to swim, it was really scary! I was afraid of heights! Well atleast there were steel bars so I wrapped my arms all over those things. Haha! It was so high and it wasliteraly a hundred feet! Believe it or not! 
Apparently, I had no decent pictures at Vintar dam. 


So, the next spot for the day was at fort. Our visitors enjoyed the beach. Well, I was atleast happy that  I had finally seen a beach for a very long time! Here are some of our pictures.
