time slows down whenever you're around
My dad joined another ultra-marathon last April 20 in Albay, Bicol. It's a 12 hour drive from Sta.Rosa, so at 2:00 in the morning on April 19, my mom woke me up and was asked to get ready. I was getting kind of excited, since it's my first to go to my mother's hometown. I quickly got dress and went in the car, expecting to sleep.
We got to the hotel, at around 3:00, got lost because of wrong information, I want to blame Google Maps, but well, I can't, we we're wrong too =))
We then went inside the room and had a couple of minutes to sleep. Went out for the night to get my dad's singlet, took home food and went back to the hotel to grab some dinner.
The next day, probably was the most surprising and exciting day I've ever had in years. Let's start with the morning routine. It was my father's most awaited event, having to run 80 km around Mayon Volcano is a privilege. He went out for the day, of course. We, people who we're left sleeping in the room, ate breakfast downstairs and got ready.
We then went to Cagsawa Ruins, aaaah it was majestic :) The feeling you get when you realize that the lower part of the church is below your feet, UH-MAY-ZENG. Took A LOT of pictures, then had our lunch at Pares King :) I may say that they have worthy Filipino Food right there, delicious.
It was decided that, me and my little brother will stay in the hotel, until my mom and my aunt gets back to fetch dad. A few hours of non-stop tv watching for my brother and a few hours of sleeping for me, suddenly there was a knock on the door. My mom said that we won't let anyone come in the room. My little brother checked who that was, when I went outside the bathroom to my surprise Johnny Boy was there!:""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""">
Of course I screamed! I hugged him and asked him why he didn't tell me, and told me that it was a surprise, :"""> I was so happy when I saw him :"""""""""""""""""""""> I missed him a lot and was greatly relieved when I saw him :"""> He was even staying at the same hotel as we are:""""""> damn it! Can this day get any better??
After a few hours my parents came home and we celebrated my Dad's ultra-marathon, in Embarkadero. Ate our dinner, returned to our hotel and slept the excitement away.
Morning of April 21 came, my family and I went downstairs to have our breakfast. And apparently saw him while eating :> We greeted each other and each others parents. My mom and his mom talked for a while and I left them talking while I went upstairs to have my bath and to prepare to check out.
It was Daet for us that morning, and the next day was our roadtrip to Sta. Rosa.
By far?? Best summer vacation, EVER. :""""""""""""">
