Her album's coming out today. Hahahaha!:)
I had a very interesting week. Pretty busy, but it was still okay.
I watched a concert with Jane last Friday. It was a benefit concert for the typhoon victims in Bicol. A little late now, don't you think? But at least they're still doing something about it. The concert was so much fun! Even though we did stand for 4 hours straight. Hahahaha!:) Tiempo, Hilera, Julianne, Orange and Lemons, Slapshock, Sugarfree, Hale and Rivermaya performed. SLAPSHOCK RULEZ!!! We kept on jumping up and down until our feet felt like they were on fire! Hahaha!:) I took a lot of pictures. And I mean a LOT. I'll upload them in my Multiply when I have the time:)
The next day, January 24, I woke up early and I headed to my cousin Maui's house in Fairview. I had an interesting conversation with her dad. Too many stuff to mention. Hahahaha!:) And then I met her boyfriend, Kuya Julius. He was a bit shy at first but after we started talking about some random stuff, he was a lot better:) We left for Baguio around past 11. I was still sleepy from the concert the night before so I kept on dozing in and out. When we got to the big lion's head, we went down and took some pictures since it was Kuya Julius' first time to go to Baguio, EVER. At around past 5, we arrived at the cottage. I was very surprised when I saw a lot of people there; I later gathered that Maui's relatives from her dad's side were there. So many. Hehehehe:) We heard Mass after a quick mirienda; Tita Marissa said tha the Mass will start at 6:00, but when we got there, it was already starting. We looked at the schedule and found out that they chahnged the time! Annoying! We had no choice. We heard Mass and went back to the cottage. We were so tired. We all did our own thing; Maui and Kuya Julius atarted studying coz they were going to have a test on Monday. I just stared at them while they were talking coz I had no idea what they were saying; all those scientific terms and stuff. Science. Ech. So anyway, we talked and talked. We talked about a lot of stuff! Hehehehe!:) I was asleep by 12 something. SO COLD.
The next day, all of us were up by 7 because Tita Marissa wanted us to get to Session Road for the Flower Festival early. She hired three vans to take us to Vizco's, a restaurant beside Don Henrico's. We went to the second floor, which Tita Mariss reserved for us and ate breakfast. I just had Belgian waffles. My stomach wasn't in the mood for anything with rice. Then me, Kuya Juilus, Bryan (Maui's cousin), Kuya Stan and Kuya Abner went to the market to buy some bracelets that Bryan showed us the night before. On our way there, I ran into Bryan Villaflor, who was one of my classmates from high school. It was so good to see him again. He got thinner. I wonder what he's been doing to himself. Anyway, after I saw Bryan, we continued our walk towards the market. So. Many. People. I bought a lot of bracelets! They're so pretty! Kuya Julius bought a lot of stuff; bracelets, lengua de gato, chocolate flakes. As proof that he's really been to Baguio. Hehehehe:) On our way back to the restaurant after going around the market, we got stuck in just one place because of the people. We got flattened by the sheer number of people. We really couldn't move. People were pushing and shoving, it was really irritating! And me and Bryan got separated from the rest of the group because there were a lot of people who kept on cutting in front of us! Bryan and I started panicking. And I ALMOST got separated from him because there was this particularly nig guy who wanted to cut in front of me; but Bryan (who's a pretty big guy himself) had his arm wrapped around my waist so I won't go anywhere. I was really grateful for that. At least I wasn't alone. And things just started getting worse. On the street, the candidates for the election started walking and they stopped RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! Geez! Then the more the people will refuse to move! They went crazy when the people on the floats started throwing shirts and candy; they were starting to push and shove even more. I nearly fainted, but Bryan held his grip on me. We stood there for like 15 minutes or so. Finally, people ahead were starting to move. With very small and slow steps, we made our way out of the crowd. It was so tiring! We were sweating so badly because the sun was shining down on us from where we stood. I saw Kuya Stan and he waved me over to where he was. I looked back to see if Bryan was behind me, but he was still stuck in there! I immediately told Kuya Stan but he told me to go to where Maui was and he'll wait for Bryan to come out. When he finally come out, he was sweating so badly and I was afraid that he might collapse from sheer exhaustion. But thank heavens nothing seriuos happened to us. We continued walking towards the restaurant where everybody else was waiting. I took a seat as soon as we got there and I took pictures of the floats passing by from my chair. That's how exhausted I was.
After the parade, we went to this small restaurant called "OH MY GULAY". It was a pretty interesting place. It's hard to describe. I'll post the pictures on my Multiply next time; my digicam ran out of batteries.
Alright. I have so many things to do. So, the professors finally decided to rain down everything on us.
Great. Just great.
It's my older sister's birthday today. She could have been 19 today. Please pray for her. Thank you.
