Elbi Night
Last weekend was not only A WEEKEND but a fun weekend with the family. In celebration of Tito Randy and Yip's visit and of Lola's birthday, the Correas spent the night in a house in Laguna. And here are some snips (again) from this rare occasion (rare, because I hardly spend time with the family, tsk :( ):
(copied from the list I was writing that night)
The warm pool water. Ala hot spring. So so soothing. (haha, rhyming) I super enjoyed the pool even though I do not know how to swim. Wah, at some points, I was jealous at everyone else who could dive into water, huhu.
The 'nice' videoke machine. Such a high rater. I got several 99s ("You are a superstar!") without even singing a word.
The 'rock baby rock' dance with Iya. As requested by the then tipsy Tito Jun2.
"Laguna Babes". Haha, it was Tito Alvin who told us we've degraded from being Boracay babes to Laguna babes.
Lolo dedicating the song "My Way" to Lola. It was just funny because as the first line goes, "blah blah blah.. the end is near". Of course, Im sure Lolo didn't mean that.
The Tipsy Brothers. As I was writing this list, Pop and Tito Randy we're singing, and they kept on changing the song, singing only the first 2-3 lines of it (of course, the machine still rated them "superstars" and "perfect artists", hehe =p
Hmm. I just realized entries like these are like captions without pictures. Haha. Waah.. I shall learn to write again. As in really write.

Beaching Snips
To add flavor to the posted pictures from our beaching, here are some quite worth-remembering snippets:
"Escondidos": The place we stayed in was actually named "Escondido" but I kept on telling my friends (i.e., Jan2 and his titos) that it was Escondidos. Wala lang. I just felt stupid.
"Tetoterone": While having our breakfast conversations on male-female hormones (jumpstarted by the rather classic question whether a guy who makes patol a gay is considered gay, hehe), Iya said "tetoterone" instead of testosterone,which made us laugh out loud and come up with other bulol words (hmm,, which I don't remember anymore, hehe). A moment uncaptured.
Longganisa: Tita's favorite complimentary breakfast choice. The first time she ordered it and said, "wow, longganisa", I thought she was being sarcastic because it was quite small (parang twin longganisitas pa nga, haha). But when she ordered it the day after (and the day after that), only then did I realize that she indeed liked it :)
"Broken Left": After our ur first stroll along the stretch and the Dmall, I felt disappointed when the strap of my left slippers broke. Boo. So I had to buy one, grrr.. Thanks to Jan2 who came with me and even walked barefoot on the concrete floor of the shopping area. The ironic thing is: I bought a slippers of same brand and of almost the same style (slim strap). Wah, talk about irrational buys.
The morning after, the left side of the frame of my eyeglasses broke as well. Tsk. But oh well, thank God I did not lose my contact lens.
Sponge Cola. While waiting for Iya curl her hair, Tita and I were watching the Myx Mo awards, and when Sponge Cola won an award (as Band of the Year, I think), I made this comment that when I was still in school, they were not that mainstream (i,e., this popular) yet, blah blah. And when I opened our door, wah, I was surprised to see their drummer near the room opposite ours. So I was like, "Sponge Cola is here!" and Tita told me I sounded like I was excited as if I am a fan. Haha, I was just thrilled because we were just talking about them and then there they were!
Then we came up to them looking so kilig, took pictures with them and had our tshirts and backs signed. Haha, just kidding! Tita and I thought that maybe it was a personal trip so we don't want to be like privacy intruders.
Hmm,, but it wasn't a personal trip pala. They had a gig with Retrospect on the 5th night of April, and boy, people blocked the beachfront in front (front-front, hehe) of the bar where they were playing. So Tita, Iya and I had to walk on the water with the lumots, haha, so we can check the other bars.
The Hawaiian-Tropic-lotion-tasting drink: It was the alcohol Tita Teret ordered the night we ate out (my birthday treat kuno, haha) at Hawaiian BBQ. (We were 'required' to buy drinks from the bar nearby so we may sit down on the lounge, hehe). I think it was pineapple with coconut base which according to Iya tasted like the lotion/oil we have been putting on our bodies and faces, Iya didn't like it, but I did, Haha, weird me, I like coconut that much,
Raphael and his Power Rangers. Our boyfriend :) Iya and I spent several minutes talking (and playing) with this really cute 5-yr old boy who thinks his cousins are his brothers/sisters and who is into yellow, Power Rangers, small cars, baking cakes in a Barney PC game, and singing a Maroon 5 song which title I forgot.

The first time I am writing semi-drunk (semi-edited)
Haha, I just want to write. This is a moment - the first time I am writing a blog entry with alcohol in my blood stream. Pero steady lang, well I guess this is the perfect chill - I just needed these two bottles of beer to depress me (depression in a good way) that I may relax from this mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting job.
Hmm.. Today is freedom night, I love Tuesdays because Tuesdays mean freedom. It's incomplete tonight though, But freedom night is freedom night. Hehe, how sensible can I get.
I am sleepy and I shall sleep. I shall sleep now. Tomorrow is another prison day.
