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.
