rants and ramblings

mindoro trip

Our trip yesterday was quite alright-- been eating all the time [har-har-har!], letting my father drive all the way to Batangas… so I just sat there at the back and ransack the grocery bags for some junkies, sleeping once in awhile… and then eat some more. We arrived in Batangas at around 7:30 am, so since only 2 persons are allowed to stay inside the vehicle.. a regulatory scheme of the Port… we have to choose who among us [ my mother, ate, niece, & I] will be the sacrificial lambs. Hehehe.. since my niece is only 3 yrs old and very much attached to my ate plus the fact that my niece is stubborn… my mother and I went down and paid the port fee [ something to that effect]. Inside the waiting lounge -- their going to page us what ship the vehicle would be in and then we're going to buy the tickets. The lounge is clean, air-conditioned and got clean restrooms [thank god!] so we waited and waited… and waited… at this time, I really am glad that man invented cellphones.. then at 8:45 am , the woman in the information counter paged us .. so my nanay immediately went to the ticket booth to get some tickets only to be told that there's no more ticket left and that the ship is due to leave at 8:30. What the fuck!!!?? Anyways, nanay was able to get us some ticket. The weather was not so fine since it's been raining the whole week… despite the rain the sea was calm.. yeps! It was calm until we were in the middle of nowhere.. then the ship swayed sideways, not too strong but you can feel it… i felt it..dang, I almost threw up. I remained calm mind you.. I'm just waiting for the rest of the people to panic and grab some life jackets! Hahaha! [That is not funny…] anyways, we arrived in Calapan at 12:00 and reached Naujan at 1:00 pm…said hello to my lola… asked for some pamasko [I was not able to get some] and then watched tv. Took our baths and then watched some more..

We arrived home after 10 hours of travelling! Darn the Metro Manila traffic! It's a hellhole! It was a tiring trip but then I was able to see my lola.. and the rest of my relatives in Mindoro plus, I was able to see the real estate bought by tito ambo. =)
