summer bits

what if whenever you go somewhere, everything just goes according to plan, and you don't run into any kind of problems? when you're asked about the trip, what would you say? in contrast to all the usual "ok lang" answers, here are some bits for you...

what happens in vegas... june 2005
friday night, we made our way to vegas. little did we know that we'd be having a stop over in mojave (for we got lost), where all you could see was the highway, the grassy plains, and some rabbits every now and then. too late did we see not just one, but two rabbits crossing the road as we were passing by. splat! poor bunnies. =(

sunday afternoon, we struck out again. while on the freeway, one of our tires gave out. we had to change the tire and wait for help under the heat of the nevada sun. fortunately our other friends drove by at the time and saw us. instead of feeling bad about all of these, we just took the opportunity of taking pictures along the freeway to keep as souvenirs of our experience.

row, row, row your boat in galera... may 2004
my last beach outing in the philippines was when nine of my citech friends and i went to puerto galera. we stayed friday night at one place, so we could go to the bus station together at around 4am. when we reached galera, we had to wait for a few hours before we could settle in our rooms, because they were still being "prepared" (in other words, the rooms were still occupied).

i remember being hungry lots of times coz of our luck with the places that we went to for food ("mam wala na pong pork kebab..... wala pong hot water, iinitin pa po kasi.... break time na po namin, wala nang mags-serve.....").

still, i enjoyed shopping for tie-dyed pj's & anklets, snorkeling, strolling, people watching, and of course, eating that crushed ice thing with syrup, milk & chocolate.

on our way home, the waves were so big during the boat trip. most of my friends got scared and clung to one another for dear life. as for me, i was as calm as though i was at home, watching everything on tv. hehe..
