BATAAN TRIP

While everyone was getting nervous about their grades last Saturday, a friend of mine was celebrating his birthday. Last October 15, Daniel celebrated his 18^th year in this world.

To celebrate his birthday with us, he invited us for an overnight in his town in Bataan. We stayed there for 2 days (October 17 and 18) and were able to visit 3 provinces.

So here’s the story of our Bataan trip J

First, 10 of us all met up in UST.

Two cars were waiting for us. The first car was Daniel’s, and inside were of course himself, his driver, Neo, Yna, Maiza, Kim and I. The next car was Greg’s and inside were himself, his driver, Lim, Ten and Mike.

After making sure that everyone’s ready, the trip started, and the first stop was at Trinoma. There, we fetch Tim, and he joined Greg’s company. The next stop was at  Bulacan, and there, we fetch Simon who joined our company. Lastly, we fetch Luchi, who was waiting for several hours already at SM Pampanga. We had our late lunch at the mall where we ate at Burger King.

When we were finally complete, we went straight to Bataan. We first went to the resort, then to Daniel’s parents’ clinic where we met his parents. After meeting Daniel’s parents, we were asked to have merienda at their resto, Nico’s Bar. After filling our almost empty stomachs, we went back to the resort. The boys played basketball while girls had fun at the pool. When they decided to go back to Nico’s Bar, everyone went back to the room to fix themselves. It was kind of scary at that time because the rain was pouring hard which later on, caused the brownout. Most of the girls freaked out. But later on, the light went back.

We had a great dinner at Nico’s bar. The food was great, and the band was also good. Right after the dinner, we left the resto and went to 7eleven and Mini Stop to buy drinks. When we arrived at the resort, we decided to take a night swimming first. Everyone was enjoying, especially the slide. J

After the night swimming, we all took a bath and prepared for the drinking session. Only Tim and I were the ones who refused to drink. We watched them play this game called Ring of Fire while drinking. The drunk ones were so funny.

Yna was the first one who stopped drinking. Maiza suddenly blacked out. Kim started speaking in English. Neo was quite loud. Greg was telling funny stories about his past. Lim and Luchi puked. And Mike, Oh Mike! HAHAHA he was so drunk that he slept on the floor.

Some boys played basketball after, while Maiza and Luchi stayed beside the court resting. Daniel and I were at the side, too, watching and laughing at them.

When almost everyone was sleeping, I decided to sleep too, leaving Maiza, Daniel and Lim taking care of Mike. I was sharing bed with Yna. She was so funny. She gets easily awakened by little movements. After 30 minutes of sleep, Yna was awake again saying she has headache, causing her not to sleep. I could not sleep either so I told her that I am going to buy medicines. She followed, and when Ten and Daniel saw us, they joined us. After buying the medicines, we went back to our room and got back to sleep.

When we got up, we ate our breakfast, took a bath and got ready to leave. We passed by Daniel’s house first to drop some of his stuff, then we went straight to Subic. After our lunch at Shakey’s, we went to Royal. Daniel gave 30 minutes for everyone to shop. After 30 minutes, we were all back in the car. Most of the girls bought chocolates, except for Yna who bought these cute paper plates and plastic spoons & forks. The boys bought a toy gun which they used to shoot us (us who were inside the other car) when we were in SCTEX already. =)))

At Shakey's in Subic

We passed by Nathaniel’s and then dropped off Luchi, then lastly headed to UST.

It was just an overnight but it was indeed fun.

Once again, thank you Daniel for inviting us! :D
