Trip to BaguioAnyway, it was 5:30 in the morning when the first group of people started their trip. Aizza and Em-Em went to the Elumba�s at 5:00. But due to fixing pillows and all that stuff, they left at 5:30 instead. I�m not going to tell you about the things they did on the way, all I�m going to tell you is they arrived at 12:30 noon (and they also ate breakfast at Tarlac about 9:30 or 10:30 am). They toured and drive a little around Baguio first before they finally went to Green Valley, where they will stay. The second group are the rest of the Lazaro and the household stuff, which left at about 6 or 6:30. They stopped over in Petron to pick up a driver and a cook, and of course to check on their business. They also stopped for lunch somewhere. They arrived at 2:30 in the afternoon. Actually the groups met each other, when the first group was just going out for lunch. Anyway... For their first day, they went to the playground and hang-out there for a while. Either that, or they were at their room, playing playstation. It was a quick afternoon, that�s for sure. As for the night, that�s a different story... I mean, we all now, nights are rather short because we go to sleep most of nighttime. But some of them, tried to made it long, anyway. Steph, Angel and Macy slept early, but the others? Aizza, Em-Em, Mariel and with Sarah as the player and the controller, played Resident Evil 2. They played it at about 11 or something in the evening. And they finished it (without the help of Lawrence, or Clark, or anybody) at 2 in the morning! All I could tell you, readers, is that it was rather exciting, since it was nighttime and all, and you�re playing a (kinda) scary game. There was even one time, they don�t want to close the lights, nor to stand up to open it. There was also the time, where they need to pee, and don�t won�t to be alone! That�s how exciting and "scary" it was! Em-Em slept as soon as the game was finished. But the others stayed awake. According to them, they only slept because Tita Celia (yuk! Nakiki-Tita na ako! Hawa na ako kay Carla! Joke) made them go to sleep (which is at 3 a.m.). Tomorrow morning, they waked up and took a bath (full detailed talaga, 'no?). They were supposed to wait for the Macalinao�s and Jolo before they could horseback. So, they planned to go to the carnival instead. But they decided to wait for the Macalinao�s and Jolo before doing so, so they played bowling instead at the Green Valley club house. (The Baguio Country Club was really, really, really crowded!) Their Picture at the Green Valley Club House They played by pairs: (1) Sarah and Em-Em, (2) Steph and Angel, (3) Aizza and Mariel, and (4) Macy (and Casper). They were paired by their number of times when they bowled. And the winner is... Sarah and Em-Em! Then they played another game. This time it�s singles. And Em-Em won! Well, her other competition are Mariel, Aizza and Angel. Macy, Sarah and Steph were playing in another lane. Anyway, it was about 1:30 or 2:00 when they finished, I think. They went down to their house there to eat lunch. When they got there, the ones they were waiting for were already there eating lunch, too. They arrived at 1:30 according to Lawrence. So, after eating lunch and everything, they went to the playground. There they took lots of pictures (one of them is shown below) and played and rode the seesaw and the swings, and, well, act like kids! Just kidding! Afterwards, they were called for it�s time to go to Trinidad to the Strawberry fields! Their Picture at the play ground There, some of them picked strawberries. Well, very little did. I think we were supposed to pay for them or something... Whatever! Anyway, since it�s a farm, there are lots of muds and snails and stuff. Sarah fell, but thanks to her high shoes, her pants wasn�t dirtied or anything. But Lawrence? Let�s just say, when he fell, he really fell! His pants was dirty with mud from about his knee down. He washed his pants with water, and bought a pair of shorts. Anyway, afterwards, they went to Wright Park to ride horses. They went around Mines View. They were parted and Sarah, Em-Em and Aaron took the long cut. Steph, Mariel and the rest, and the other three met some time later. Then they were parted again. Sarah, Em-Em, Mariel, Macy and Aaron took the long cut (since their horses are running), and the rest took the shortcut since their guides won�t let them run! What do you think of that? I mean, their horses and the riders would like to run. It�s the guides, that�s the big problem. So, all in all, some of them didn�t run much, and the others did... a lot. It was about 6:30 when it all finished. They had dinner at home. They wanted to go to the carnival, but the adults say it�s probably closed. So, they were asked to choose between a disco and a bonfire. And since, they were going to a disco on Cereb�s birthday, they vote for the second one instead. While preparing the fire, they saw a red light coming from a house in front of the house they were staying in. They check it out and were planning to tell the person off to stop pointing his laser pointer. But Sarah had an idea to invite them over to their bonfire. Nobody objected, so Sarah asked. And they said they�ll be there after dinner. Now it was about 9 p.m. by then. They waited, and waited, and played cards while at it. But they never really came. The hotdogs cooked and they were already eaten. So, they thought their "visitors" won�t come after all. But they did, and they were taken by surprise. The group that came is twice as many as them! And that�s about how many they have to feed and entertain. There were 5 guys about our age, 3 girls our age, 3 18-and-above years old, and 4 or 5 kids age of Matel and Miguel. They have to made the fire bigger again, and they were losing some firewood already. It worked out, I guess. Later, when the fire�s ready and everyone�s seated, they got out Pringles and sandwiches, etc. First, they introduced themselves. They said their names, their age, and their school. Then they told ghost stories, too. And since they were telling ghost stories, Stephanie left for some time before joining them. She could have joined the other boys (Aaron, Lawrence and Jolo), who were "shy" and were playing cards at the side. Anyway, it was fun and it all ended at 11:30 p.m. because that�s the only time they were given permission, or simply, their "curfew". For this night, the original plan was to watch VCD, but Lawrence didn�t bring theirs, so what can we do? Anyway, afterwards, they toothbrushed, and played chess, while some of them sleep as soon as they hit the pillows. They were supposed to be chess players and were having chess championships, but they got sleepy and became sleeping beauties instead. The next day, they were planning to climb the mountain beside their house, but there was no way (as in road), so they didn�t. Then they also packed and cleaned things up. They ate breakfast and were planning to have the mass at 9:00 am. But they took the 10 o�clock mass instead. Their Picture in front of the house they stayed in Then they went to "Good Shepherd". While the adults were busy buying sweets, the group were picture-taking. There�s a beautiful view and lots of cool places to get your picture taken. So they finished the whole roll in there. Their Picture at Good Shepherd Afterwards, they went home. Not in the same time, though. The Elumba�s and Aizza left as soon as they finished their "shopping" at Good Shepherd (which was about 11:30 a.m.). The Macalinao�s and Jolo would like to see Camp John Hay first, so they went. They left Baguio at 12:30 noon. The Lazaro�s have to clean-up and stuff, so left at 2:30 p.m. And that�s all for now. See how quick a weekend can be? Like they say, "Time is gold." And time is still running. We still have one more day to enjoy! Tomorrow�s Cereb�s Birthday, let�s see what happens...
