My First Taste of Labor Day - Trip To Lipa City

May 12, 2007

It was Monday morning when I decided to call my lolo and ask permission to go to Lipa city and visit my dear friend, Shyena. I was hesitant at first because I thought he wouldn't allow me because first, Sheyna is an online friend (but I consider her as one of my closest friends - Love this girl!), Second, I might not be able to go to work on time on Wednesday and Lastly, I'm going to Lipa City for the first time alone. I was surprised and happy when he finally said Yes but of course, there are conditions.

 

After work, I went straight to the condo to eat my early dinner and fix some of my stuff. I went to the bus station at 7PM (I could have reached the bus station earlier- blame ate lenny for insisting we should get a taxi yet we ended up riding a bus on our way to the bus station after an hour grrr). On my way to Batangas, I learned that it will only take you 11/2 hour to reach Lipa (How I wish Manila to Dagupan is that lapit din).

 

When I finally reached the bus stop, I went to the nearest Jollibee to get some drink and then Sheyna arrived. After a year of commenting to each other's LJ, Buzzing around YM and too much kadaldalan on our home phones, nagkita na rin kami! She's just as bubbly as she is in the internet and on the phone. Makulit at madaldal pa rin like me haha :)

 

I won't tell you the stuff we talked about that night haha :D

 

By the morning, I met her parents who were so nice to me and even asked me to comeback so that I can taste the Extra's Special Bulalo :) They were so accomodating and made me feel at home :) The three dogs named Turbo, Coco and Datu (unfortunately, Datu died 4 days after ). I realized that Pets can be so entertaining - yet i don't want to feed them LOL.

 

ChicoSci and Sandwich songs were being played and I learned a lot about Pinoy bands. She even gave me an autographed copy of Spongecola's Palabas album and errr… uhmmm.. wala lang hehehe Yael is HOT? lol

   

We went to St. Carmel Church. It is one of the cleanest and most peaceful church I've ever seen. I found out that monghas are the ones in charge of the beautification of the holy place.

  

We later went to San Sebastian Cathedral which I think is a very memorable place for her :) Again, the church is clean and very peaceful. I am really amazed!

 

After lighting some candles for my wishes and to my beloved ones, We went straight to the nearest lomi-han so I can have a taste on one of Lipa City's Best hehe

 

 

Sheyna loves the Lomi kasi pampalaki daw ng hinaharap hehehe :)

After eating (ang bigat sa tiyan grabe!) , We went to the Community Park and met up with her parents. Ganda ng community park nila. There's an olympic size pool and stuff hehe but the spot that caught my attention is this certain "Bahay ni Ate" which looks a bit creepy yet amazing because it's made out of recycled materials.

  

   

  

 

I am actually looking forward to going back there again. Sheyna Marie Salamat! :)

Kung Ako Ay Isang Senador..

Masaya ako dahil walang trabaho sa lunes (yehey!). Bakit nga ba walang pasok sa lunes? Ito po ang araw ng pagboto ng mga Pilipino para sa mga susunod na uupo sa gobyerno. Pipili tayo sa araw na ito ng mga taong gagastusin ang mga pinaghirapan natin na pera at sila din ang kukuha ng maraming kwarta para sa kanilang pork barrel na kanilang gagamitin para sa mga proyekto nila na pagnatapos ay may malaking pangalan nila na akala mo ay galing sa sarili nilang bulsa ang pinambayad sa pagpapagawa ng mga eskwelahan, waiting shed atbp.

 

Bilang isang pilosopa pero concerned pinay na gusto sanang gumawa ng seryosong blog entry pero dahil sa pagod ay mukhang kalokohan ang ilalagay dito, gumawa ako ng listahan ng gagawin ko kapag ako ay maging isang senador.

               Pagagandahin ko ang Tourist Spots ng Pilipinas - Maglalaan ako ng pondo para maging mukhang malinis ang Pasig River. Paano? Kukuha ako ng pera galing sa buwis ng taong bayan at ipambibili ko yun ng Dyobos na color blue. Palalagyan ko rin regularly ng Asin galing Dasol, Pangasinan para maalat-alat ang tubig. Magiging feeling nasa beach tayo niyan kahit na ang katotohanan ay puro basura at mga anik-anik ang makikita sa under the ilog level ng pinaasul na ilog.

               Magpapatayo ako ng restaurant sa Kongresso - Sa kasalukuyan ay may mga pagkain na nagboboluntaryong sumabak sa senado. May Pechay na gustong magpatanim sa kangkungan. Meron din Bistek na matagal nang mabenta sa isang lugar dito sa Maynila. Meron din na gustong pakyawin ang lahat. Aba dapat sa foodfest kayo sumali at hindi sa pulitika tsk tsk baka langawin tayo niyan kapag hindi masarap yan!

              Pararamihin ko ang Party Lists - Magkakaroon ng mas maraming party list na pangungunahan na sikat at maaasahan talaga sa larangan ng partying ang mga magiging leaders tulad ni Borgy Manotoc, Anne Curtis, Katrina Halili at KC Montero. Life is a Parteeh!!!

              Gagawa ako ng "Teen Oriented Programs" - Naalala ba ninyo yung TGIS (Thank God It's Sabado) nina Bobby Andrews at Angelu De Leon? Eh yung CUTE (Call Us Two for Entertainment) nina Helen Gamboa at Sharon Cuneta? Eh yung DATS ni Kuya Germs? Diba Puro Acronym? Aba ang mga tumatakbo para sa senado ngayon hindi na nakukuntento sa TUTA at GAGO. Mas type na nila yung may dating. PLAN Co REVOLT ang programa para sa rebel teens na parang sasabak pa lang sa kolehiya pero pinipigilan ng mga kamag-anak. MAZ PARa Sa Kidz Mo naman ay parang SCQ na para sa Kids at Teens. Wow magkakaroon sila ng Anak TV Seal Pagnagkataon.

              Sa ngayon ay yan pa lang ang mga karantaduhang naiisip ko. Syempre hindi ko yan tutuparin kapag seryosohan na talaga. Sa mga botante sana po ay isipin ninyong mabuti kung sino ang karapat dapat manatili sa ilalim ni Ate Glow. Bow.
