Trip #1: Tagaytay

our much awaited tagaytay trip finally pushed through yesterday despite some difficulties. i have to admit, at first i thought it'll be such a bore cause we were so few but it turned out to be the best roadtrip after all. definitely no regrets! :D

us, girls, met up with kim and kuya rownil at tropical hut. i settled for a cup of hot choco while sha and the boys ate their breakfast. we left at around 6 a.m. to pick up angelo (who just got off from his shift) at market market and chanchan at wilcon depot alabang. thank god for chan! having him around is the best comic relief. :o)

kim's driving...uhm...just pretend you're in Realto..you'll get the picture. haha. we arrived at tagaytay picnic grove half past eight and went straight to one of the huts. the view is still breathtaking. we (sha, bez, chan, gelo) went off to a trail while kim and kuya happily attended to our things back at the hut. haha. we took turns in taking pics with chan conceptualizing the poses. and for some unexplainable reason, i tripped *big time* and bumped my legs onto a step. in fairness nagkapasa at nagka bukol haha.

we went back to the hut for lunch. chan brought out his spagegi from the halloween party he went to the night before (nakakatakot kainin parang panis hahahaha), si sharie and her hamon, bez and her super sarap na siomai (na majority kinain ni chan :D ) and my mashed potatoes (na pinagtritripan ni kim at chan) and chicken fingers na mukha daw kikiam haha.

yummy food + life stories + great company = super fun lunch :)

nakakatuwa yung mga stories ni kim bout his shift sa mental hospital. though he seems to be making fun of his experiences there, you'd see that he really cares for his patients (ang bait ng nurse namin haha). we also learned a new vocabulary at lunch na pinauso ni chanchan.

*YABANG

Definition: word articulated after anything (chopsticks, niponggo, tokyo etc... ) tina mentions about Japan. haha. :D

we were approached by an american youth missionary, asking if we'd like to help their youth org in the states by buying jade bracelets. angelo bought one and gave it to me as a birthday present. hihi. the am boy also greeted me a happy birthday. :)

we packed up at around 12 pm and took some more pics. on our way out, we passed by a big photo booth of disney princesses with holes for faces. major photo op. haha. game na game yung tatlong guys na magpose. some tourists who saw us also took pictures of us. haha. nakakahiya.

of course, the roadtrip won't be complete without buying buko tart from rowena's and some fresh pineapples. sinisisi ako ni chan bakit xa bumili ng pinya eh di naman daw siya kumakain nun hahaha. found out one of kim's special talents--magpicture habang nagdradrive haha. the ride home was short. bitin. ang bilis ng oras--kulang na kulang para sa kwentuhan. before we knew it nasa taytay na uli kami. hinatid kami lahat ni kim sa bahay bahay hehe driver na driver ang dating :)

this is only the first of many roadtrips ahead. e.k.? bicol? pagudpod? batangas? haha...anywhere basta makasakay sa RORO haha. can't wait for the next one!!!! :)
