the baguio trip
went to baguio with my family for the weekend. a 2-day break after a whole semester in law school, not to mention the draining final exams. anyhow, i came from the editing house (we were editing our video for the consti project) and arrived home aroung 2am. so literally, i came home just to replace what's inside my bag (i came from an overnight the night before) and to freshen up and at 3am, we were off to baguio. i slept the whole trip off and woke up only when we were already somewhere near burnham park.
some random thoughts (read: random. meaning, no coherence at times) after the trip...
grouchy stuff first. i found out that when you go out to trips like this with your family when all of you are rather adults already, it's not as enjoyable anymore just like when you (at least some of you) were still kids. we ate at places that you could also find here in manila (umm... dencio's, country waffles, teriyaki boy...). we went to the market and bought stuff, and just when i was getting the hang of it and was already in the mood to buy stuff, my dad rushes us to finish buying stuff (and yeah, he already bought what he wanted). had dinner at dencio's (wow, what a new place) at around 6pm and when darkness fell, we were already at the hotel (of sorts) we had some (read: some. literally "some") rounds of wine. no more going out to enjoy a saturday night because they were tired already. let me sum up the things we did for t he almost 2 days in baguio: eat, buy, travel (while i sleep in the car), watch tv, and sleep. pretty exciting aint it?
don't get me wrong, i don't hate going out with my family. what i'm driving at is that it really is different when you go out to trips like this with your friends (of course, not when you're still a kid) and enjoy a little more freedom and just simply enjoy life.
what's nice about the trip? well, it was a welcome break after my hectic schedule and it got my mind off serious stuff for a while.
now, it's back to reality and on to my daily adventures in life.
