Back from the not-responsible for any actions world!haha... that was sooo fun to be like kids again. When you don't have to worry about anything but the time when to get fed again and play! We spent Saturday and Sunday at a friend's vacation house in "Cavite" ... haha NOT in Laguna, we got confused with the location since the name of the place is also Sta. Rosa ... most popular in Laguna, but there is a Sta. Rosa in Cavite and that's where we stayed overnight for a "slumber party" ... only that, there were NO slumberi'n that took place! We climbed up to bed when there was already sun! Exhausted but happy from a karaoke marathon!
Though I was already slumping and sliding off my seat realizing that I'm not good as a night-person that I was before, I still knew I was having fun! haha... I couldn't keep my eyes open and when I get my consciousness back ... I'd start singing again! Funny what karaoke does, it makes me belt out songs that were all cheesy and wouldn't even find in my player but was karaoke worthy, and it's always those songs you know the lyrics to but don't know why you knew them, or how come you know them because you think they're not cool! hehe
Anyway, before spending the ... dawn away! We went to Paseo de Sta. Rosa in Laguna, you see? the Sta. Rosa place we thought we'd be was kinda near where we stayed minus the weekend traffic! It's a place of cozy Spanish Architecture, Live Music, Coffee and Outlet Stores ... and Outlet Stores! ... and Outlet Stores! haha It was love at first sight! ... We took fun photos amidst the curious faces of the passersby, because my friend Liza, is all out in posing for the camera, she's always been the fun and whatever-she-likes-to-wear or do or say person. Kinda like the Phoebe character in Friends. Then we had Frappucinos and chatted with another friend of ours who live 15 minutes away from Paseo. Lucky guy! No wonder he has all these cool, signature stuff, he's got access!haha ... oh he'd kill me when he finds out I said that! But he likes to shop for these fine things, which I ... find really hard to match! He's a good friend but when it comes to shopping, leave me outside 'cuz I'm not loving anything with a tag that's not loving me!
But this time, he didn't do shopping, in fact none of us shopped! 'Guess we had talked and laughed for too long that the stores started to closing and we're left standing right in the middle of the shops not knowing where to go next. Good thing there was a band playing, and we opted to watch and entertain ourselves with lively, dance music! There was a box of pizza that came by... too trivial to notice, if it wasn't huge as a table at 36 inches round! wow. Now, that's a party pizza! It wasn't even a pizza, it's PIZZA! My eyes followed it to the parking lot, thinking that it can feed me for a week if it's mine! Then went back to dancing.
We bid goodbye to our friend and "see ya on 'monday!" haha yeah, we see each other everyday at work and we're friends and one is my husband ... we are that in touch with each other that we still had to spend hours talking like we've never seen each other for a long time! *friends* it doesn't matter what day or time it is for a good company!
So we went back to the house, did the setting up of the Karaoke, plugged each cable right and then the singing began! ... until that first paragraph I wrote.
THE NEXT DAY. The sun was shining happily, the wind was cool and we all had a nice, little sleep. Breakfast was ready when we came down ... (ain't that grand?! ) hotdogs, dried squid, danggit (small dried fish), bread and fried rice. yum! The plan for the day was to go at a Theme Park. Remember? my Carousel ride?! and all those none life-threatening rides?! hehe ... We did all that at the Enchanted Kingdom, when we arrived at around 12 noon. The sun was "scorching" but we didn't care ... it's supposed to be that way when the fun is outdoors! So, better to have sunblock on! We rode the Ferris Wheel, which I haven't been on one since I was 7! Then the Log Jam, where we got a bit wet ... the drop was SICK!!! Then we had a few other rides including the taadaa! Carousel! ooohhhh... sooo friendly that ride! ... And to finish our day at the Enchanted, we rode the Rapids ... the river that gets violent every now and then with water falls here and there ... and you're all strapped to your seats and of course screaming with excitement for who's gonna get wet the most! haha ... my poor husband did! He was seated where the most turn went for the big splash! oh! he was drenched! haha ... haha... haha... Me too, I got the waterfall "pouring" down on me! We were all wet but one, she came prepared with all her outfits, including the one she'd wear after the drenching, but alas! she didn't got that wet! Unlike us, we got really soaked but had only shirts to change to ... and had to wear the pants and shorts we had on yesterday...sshh!
Then it was all of a sudden. NIGHT. Time really flies when you're having FUN.
FUN.FUN.FUN it was but have to go. It's really great to have a day out with no worries! To be like we were before bills and other grown up responsibilities! To unwind and take a moment to be happy with yourself and friends. To be sooo tired out of fun doing happy things and sleep soundly after! It's amazing to wake up and had that rest. Amazing to have seen a different and new place. It's good to be out there and see what the world is like while you were at work! haha...
...Thanks guys! Well 'Looking forward to the next getaway!
