The LRT, Divisoria , the Hernandez Family Despidida---and a blooming ROMANCE to boot!!!
"Leaving the Philippines" Countdown: 7 DAYS TO GO *Totoo na toh! Wala nang atrasan!!! Maaaamaaaa!!!*
********************************************************************
Yesterday was a day full of ADVENTURE. It was quite a CHALLENGING one, and was very TIRING. There were a lot of FIRSTS that happened, too. But, as a whole, the fatigue and tiredness it brought us was replaced by a lot of FUN! It was just so NICE! At the same time, it offered ( ME! )such a pleasant SURPRISE!
In other words, the day dealt mainly with the things written in the Title: the LRT, Divisoria, a Despidida and a (new found??? Let's see. :D ) Romance.
********************************************************************
The LRT
First of all, in the morning, my mom, dad and I went to Divisoria to buy some stuff. We did so, following the advice of my mom's friends when they had the Despidida 2 days ago---to shop in the said place is the BEST!!! And so, as "obedient" and practical as we were, we did.
The experience gave me the chance to ride a train for the very first time. And, note, this is not just ANY train--- I'm talking about, ladies and gents, our Philippine's very own--- LRT!!! Yeah!!! *eyebrows are raised* Well, what can I say? It was my first time. And I'm sure I'm one of the few who will still say this was their first time at the LRT, but for the sake of those who'll read this, and who have NOT even ridden it yet, I have just ONE WORD to say--- FUN!!! Oh, and, COOL (LITERALLY! The aircon train makes you feel good, even when you're not seated down)!!! PLUS, there's this VOICE which serves as a tour guide of some sort, saying a next station, translating it to both English and Tagalog. It was cool. * Our LRT simply ROCKS!!! *Realizes "Mababaw nga ang kailgayahan ko!"*
********************************************************************
168 Divisoria
Yup. This was the name of our next stop. This building led us to a new discovery (kung kelan kami ay paalis na?! Nakakainis naman! gRRRRRRR!!! S@yAng!). Basically it could be described by these exclamations: "The place was sooooooper CLEAN!!!", "It was airconditioned. LAMIG!", "The food was FANTASTIC---especially the pansit!!!", "You can compare it to SM, and surely, the Megamall will shudder at its competitor!", "And the prices---sooooooper SULIT!!!",and finally... "If you're practical at gusto mo makatipid, pupunta ka rito, and no where else!!!".
Well, these were the words I actually exclaimed after our loooooooong trip around the place.
Need I say more????
********************************************************************
Ooops. Mom needs the phone. Gotta go.
The Despidida and the Romance (Uuuuuuuuuyyyyy, SINO YAN?!) for later.
********************************************************************
Okay. Continuation.
Today is already July 24, Sunday.
1 week to go. 1 weekend left. 1 Mass left for us to attend the Philippines. And then... BYE!!!
But that's okay now.
Sooooooo....
CONTINUATION:
The Hernandez Family Despidida
After going to Divisoria, we went to the Megamall for the Despidida offered by my relatives from mom's side. It was going to be held in Kamayan, and everyone would be there (my GAWD!!! My mom has 8 siblings, 6 of shich are alive, and each has an average number of 5 or 6 kids. CAN YOU IMAGINE???? Hmmmmmmm. gOOOOOOOOshhhhh.)
Oooops. This time, I'VE GOTTA EAT LUNCH!
Later! I promise.
