fresh from my one week leave from work, i am back again and i can say i am more relaxed and less pressured this time...i have had so much fun during my vacay...went to baguio first..weather's freezin' cold, unlike here but people walking around are as many as here in Manila...we drove around almost everywhere there..'twas so much fun since i was with my family, we had the chance to bond as well as talk about some stuff that concerns our lives...all i can say is that i am not yet done with bargaining but my tito's thinking of considering what i want.from baguio, we rode a 12 - hour travel going to tugegarao...and i can say, it was really a pain in the ass!!there we transferred from one house to another since a lot of relatives were offerring their place for us to stay at.the only difficulty i had while i was there is that i dont know how to speak a conversible Ibanag (that, my dear is the language spoken there.)The weather is waaaaay hotter than Baguio..(a college barkada texted me in such way that i dont know whether it was for information or an insult..hehe...it read:"KIM, FYI: Tugegarao is the hottest city in the Philippines! :-)), but we managed to get through it. After a day of staying there, we went to Piat Church then head towards Tuao, Cagayan. We really had so much fun there. I had the chance to ride a calesa for the first time in my life...And again, their language, Itaoit is what they call it, hindered me to converse well with them...but they also tried their best to speak to us although they were having difficulty in speaking Filipino. We toured around the province riding a calesa and it was such a wonderful experience..We also went to a resort, down under in Abbut. Abbut is actually a dead end place of Tuao and upon going beyond it, you are actually making your way to Kalinga Apayao...
Being on vacation with my family and at the same time enjoying my stay away from the city made me realized so many things:
1. I should not dwell on the past already and just leave it behind.
2. Life is so beautiful.
3. You can never have superb happiness all at the same time.
4. Letting go brings so much pain but after you've shed so many tears, you would just get sick and tired of still thinking about it.
5.No matter what happens, your family will still be with you. (though they would not really show they care.)
6.Baguio is such a pretty place to fall in love. *wink*
I wish I could stay longer but time didn't allow me to...In that vacation, I was able to make new friends that I intend to keep for lifetime...And I can somehow say, I am letting you go already..thank you for everything...i am ready to live my life again normally but not yet ready to fall again...but at least, I was able to get there...pictures are soon to be posted..im looking forward to our Club Manila East getaway on the 30th and our Bora trip on the 23rd..Yay!Summer!
