to start with and to keep you from getting confused… this is a random post. no particular story i’d like to tell; i’ll be talking about many things like i’m talking nonstop. God bless you.

first of, i really wanted to share how OSM the experience i had when i was at Manalupang, Batangas. fyi, it was the missionary trip i was talking about from my previous post; a first time experience i will never ever forget. i’ve learned so much, and can truly say that the trip was life-changing. our team did a job well done! not only did we help the church, we also had so much fun with all the sight-seeing and our last day treat to the beach. here are some pictures…

the sea *agian*...

the following show the place where we had our swimming treat. that was at Loc-Loc, still in Batangas. the place was also know as Crocodile Islands. we had so much fun and SUNBURN. XD my face was extremely burning and colored RED the next 2 days, after swimming. Note: we didn’t have sunblock on, and we swam from 7 AM until 12 PM.

crocodile islands!

my summer love didn’t end there and then! after a week (March 23-29), another OSM week was to start again. Tuesday (March 30), i, together with Chiui’s siblings and mine, and my other relatives, and some others… *this is taking too long..* well, if i put each of their names you know what.. anyway, we went to Enchanted Kingdom. the really OSM theme park at Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

i got this from whoever in the www... heeheehee

oh and btw, thanks to Chiui’s family for taking us there. we were so blessed that there weren’t as many people as they usually have. i’m really happy! it was so funny because we had to get up so early that day, i woke up at 3 AM.. and we arrived at Sta. Rosa at about 9 AM thinking that we could get in the park at exactly 10 AM (the usual time). BUT THEN! when time came that we went to the entrance and asked the security guard, he said that, “the theme park opens at 2PM, starting April until June.” and then, we were all, “AAWWW…”. it was quite lame at first, but we didn’t let ourselves down, and the waiting time wilL NOT KEEP US FROM RIDING ALL THE COOL RIDES AT ENCHANTED KINGDOM!!!! oh yeah! rock on! m/

so after that, we waited at the nearby “mall” where we spent almost 2 hours at the arcade to play and sing with the karaoke. lunch time came, we ate then waited an hour and went back to EK. we came and saw that people were already standing on the lines waiting for the EK-people to finally open the entrances. it was 2 PM and the we can hear the enchanting no, not really music from the inside of the park, and we already have tickets, waiting at the line, and then just right before they opened the entrances, THE EK-PEOPLE HAD TO DANCE, WHATEVER ROUTINE THEY HAD BEFORE PEOPLE COULD GET IN THE PARK. they look so funny, because it seemed like that was their most hated part of their jobs. HAHA! :)) so we came in, we fisrt went to 4D, the IMAX-like theater where we watched and felt The Journey to the Center of the Earth. yes, you can feel it, whenever there’s a part where water’s splashing or wind blowing, or the grounds shaking, and whatever else was that thing they used for the plants. it was ok, that was my first time also. actually, a lot of what happened were first time experiences. after that, we went to the bump cars, wait.. am i getting this right?! whatever, anyways, we rode that too. then, we rode the Flying Fiesta. that wasn’t my first time though. WEE! I CAN STILL FEEL THE WIND….

that's us!

(btw, these pictures are from Chiui’s facebook. :D)

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

and then to the thrilling ride, Anchors Away. we actually rode it for 3 times. it was EXHILARATING! *woot!* we had so much fun, laughing at my crying little cousin. heeheehee. and the fact that we’re trying not to get dizzy and all, and that we split into 2 groups of 5 and sat at both ends of the ride.

that was the first time, we weren't at both ends.

we wanted to ride the big roller coaster next, but it wasn’t opened yet. so instead, we rode the small one first, the Roller Skaters. and then we rode the ferris-wheel.

got this again, from wherever in the www. >:)

i don’t wanna post a picture of the ferris-wheel, i feel lazy about it. while on the ferris-wheel, we saw, no.. actually, we heard that the bigger roller coaster was already opened! AAAK! i’ve been waiting for soooo long to ride that coaster, the Space Shuttle. >_> i, Chiui, my big bro, Jeram, and our friend, Charlie were the only ones who rode the roller coaster for 2 more times later before dinner time. the others said they were already tired, and that it was almost dinner and they might barf. BUT I HAD FUN!!! the last time we rode the Space Shuttle, we almost perfected the part where they take your picture after the first loop. all 4 of us were smiling, but sadly, Chiui’s face got covered by her hair, so we didn’t bought the picture. but no, i didn’t regret that. yet, it was all so fun and funny. there was so many funny memories made, they will definitely be never forgotten.

the Space Shuttle. (got this from whoever again.)

we also rode the Rio Grande Rapids, the ride where you get to be really wet. and we also went to the old un-4d theater, Rialto. the rocking chairs at Rialto, and the “film”, Speed Racer, made me even more dizzy than Space Shuttle did. it was so fun and tiring, we were about to go home, but still, our group (the ones who didn’t commute) had to stop at some place called, Nuvali. it was a really nice place… and we are really tired… so we came home at about 11 PM. i’d like to go back to Nuvali if i had the chance though.

STILL, MY SUMMER LOVE DIDN’T END THERE AND THEN!!! XD well, actually.. the next day, was quite of a rest day. heehee. BUT! on Thursday *really* early morning, we left for our church outing to Batangas. yey! i went to Batangas again! we left Cavite a little past 3 AM, and went our way to Calatagan, Batangas; we stayed there until Saturday morning. we were 6 families all scrunched up in 4 vans. the place wasn’t all so nice, and yet you will really appreciate God’s greatness with all the weird and amazing sea creatures you will find, and the beautiful corals you will see when the sea hits low tide at about 3 or 4 PM. the place was still reflection-worthy. we had time to reflect and to pour out and share problems and unknown feelings, even secrets to our friends. i really thank God for all that happened in the past week.

many things are yet to happen this summer of mine, every event wouldn’t all be so nice for me, but i’ll try to make really unforgettable memories out of them. btw, my summer classes have started today. yeah.. the not-so-nice-part of my summer started. as i have said from my previous post, the classes would end on May 14, and that would mean that i would only have about 2 or weeks left of vacation before the next school year begins. it’s quite lame, but i’m realizing and remembering that i’ll be on my junior year on the coming school year. that would mean that my other big bro’s already graduating, and the next [school year] would be me! *WOOT! WOOT!* i’ve got events to attend for the next 2 weeks of April, they’re really exciting, but there’s one other thing that i don’t even want to come to…. *tears* you probably know, if you know that Chiui of Chiburger.com is my bestfriend, and their family’s about to migrate (or immigrate?) to Canada… and that  means that we won’t be seeing each other until who knows when. uh-huh, you can say i’m sad, true, BUT I’M ALSO HAPPY FOR THEM. OH MY, I EXPOSED MYSELF! :O

i’ve got so much left to say… emotions burning inside of me, secrets to tell NAH!, unfortunately, there’s just so little time, and i’m really tired. i think i have been typing for almost 2 or 3 hours already, and i still have school tomorrow, and i honestly, really am tired. i hope to blog even more.

P.S.: i really do not think this was a random post, oh and btw, i bought a new book. :>
