First time…

The first time I visited Bugasong was when I was 3 years old.

That time was my first time riding the airplane. I remember almost every summer, my Tito Pari would always ask me if I wanted to visit Bugasong. I would always say yes, because that would mean, a frequent visit at the beach, and non stop playing with my cousins.

Last month my grandmother passed away. And so last week I was already waiting for confirmation on whether I was going to visit for the burol, and when my uncle asked me if I wanted to go, I just said yes. And then he thought that we should bring Zach along.

At first I was reluctant on bringing Zach, but then I remembered that tito was the one who brought me to Bugasong so I booked us a ticket.

It was a lot of firsts for Zach, so I didn’t want to pass on the opportunity. And since tito was the one paying for the trip well…

I was not able to take a lot of pictures since, I was the one responsible for Zach but still.

“Bye-Bye! Ingat!”

“WOW!!!”

Unfortunately Zach fell asleep before the plane took off. So he was asleep during the flight and woke up when we were about to go out the plane.

The next plan was to take Zach swimming on the beach. And since, most of the people at the house were busy, the only free time we had was Friday. So Friday morning, Zach and Tito Pari was already set to go to the beach when his friend called to say he was visiting that morning. So again, the visit to the beach got pushed to afternoon. And then afternoon came and when we told our uncle that we are going to the beach, he asked to stay a bit since it was still early. And so we waited, and a lot of people came and then we were busy once again.

And then… Free time! Most of them including my uncle couldn’t go so my cousins and I went with Zach…

Swimming???

Talk about saving the best for last.

Hopefully next time when we visit, it would be just an ordinary day, so we could go out around more…


We should be taking the red pill

I was up until I think 1 am last night, and I started playing chess on my phone. I have recently installed some new java games, so I guess it helps that I have something to do while my mind is wide awake. And while playing on my phone I started thinking how technology evolved in just a blink of an eye.

Istorbohin ang natutulog?

Some old lady was looking for my uncle the other day, she called at 7 in the morning. I actually told the old lady the night before to call at the said time, thinking that my uncle would be up at 6 in the morning. But unfortunately my uncle was still sleeping soundly, so I just told the old lady to call back again. When my uncle woke up, I told him that the old lady called back again, but he was still asleep.

He came home this afternoon, and my nanay said that the old lady called back again but he was out. And my uncle was complaining to my nanay, that he was already home yesterday (only sleeping) but I didn’t give him the phone.

Ang turo sa akin ng mabuti kong ina, ay wag istorbohin ang natutulog! (my mother thought me not to disturb someone who is sleeping!)

That’s the number rule here in the house. Don’t disturb someone who is sleeping. It’s a sign of respect and courtesy for the people who are living here. Unfortunately, my uncle (who has not been sleeping well because of the summer heat) wants to be awaken when someone is calling on the phone looking for him.

It’s alright by me, at least now I know what to do the next time it happens again! I just hope that he won’t do that to me, I hate being awaken because of some (not emergency) calls.
