Ignite my bones.: April 2011

April 23 - 24

That's me a little over there; trying to relax when these annoying kids get in the jacuzzi and go splasha-palooza war.

It was my mom's birthday on Black Saturday (April 23) and we celebrated @ Island Cove, Cavite. The place wasn't so special in any way nor so fancy. Nothing seemed to entertain me. It was just slides, pools with kiddie pee-pee and a few other small and boring activities i didn't even bother checking out. I slept most of the days. Good thing there was Wi-fi, though! Or it would literally be a like hell there with the massive heat, not to mention all the closed restaurants considering it was holy week. I had fun in the car, though. Watched HIMYM the whole time. Entertained me. Sucked how the rooms didn't have DVD players.

SUMMER HEAT

April 22, 2011

Left the house a little after lunch and headed off to mom's ol' hometown: San Ildefonso, Bulacan. It wasn't so far from home.. considering the clear road; it only took us an hour to get there.

Pit-stop at Ministop for a snack. Silly mom! Haha :)

Finally got there and the place still smelled and looked the same, to me. I haven't visited the area in exactly a year. It was fun getting around again. I used to love visiting here alot; i guess i just forgot how great it was being around there and how the environment was.

First thing's first; Lunch! We were all so hungry once we got there. The usual Filipino food the family cooked. Thumbs up on the cooking. Most familiar on the table would probably be the chicken and spaghetti, right? Everything tasted great. Mhhh, Filipino food! :) :)

Lots of bonding and catching. We even learned and played new games we introduced to eachother. It was extra fun feeling like a kid again with sit-down games.

After a few games and lots of laughs, we went to the nearby sari-sari store (Filipino convenience store // "sari-sari" meaning "variety")-which was owned by some relatives, as well-for some halo-halo (Filipino dessert // "halo-halo" meaning "mix" // a mixture of lots of toppings, milk, fruits and shaved ice)

Kuya Kenneth for the shot! Haha, yeah; that's me.. catching up on some texts.

We took a ride around the bukid (filed) to catch up on how pretty the place has gotten and for a few pictures. It was a short yet, fun trip. Thanks to Kuya Kenneth for driving us around! :)
