we already know that it was the 110th year of our independence yesterday. but what you guys didn't know was i had my greatest adventure on the same day.
as a 4th year student, we were asked to join the independence day parade yesterday at 5:30 am (sooo early!). we have to be in white tee, maong jeans, and rubber shoes. when i got home, i looked at my clothes to search for a white tee. and i got the surprise of my night when i found none! i panicked, so i raided my sisters's closets for t-shirts. but i found nothing that fits me. then i remembered that i have one white tee in my bag...but its sleeves are gray. thankfully my adviser allowed it (phew!). because of that, i only got to eat at 9:40 pm. so i still have to wait for the food in my stomach to come down, so i only got to sleep at 11 pm (lack of sleep! bad.). fortunately, i got up at 4:00 am.
i left at around 5:10 am, and when i got to the waiting shed, i saw my schoolmate & friend rodilyn...(special mention!) i thought we were both waiting for a baby bus, but i was wrong. she said, "naghihintay ka ba ng bus dyan?! asa kang may dadaan." then i replied, "bakit naman?" she answered, "hello?! sarado po kaya ang daan sa kawit kaya walang dadaan na bus! halika na maglakad na lang tayo." (i know this was not the exact words, but they're somehow close to the idea ok?!) so we walked from sta. isabel to panamitan (the assembly place was at josephine's resort).
the parade didn't actually start at 5:30...maybe minutes after that. after waiting, we finally got to line up & walk. i was with my beszie erika who has her mp4 at that time...so while walking, we listened to some fahrenheit & s.h.e. songs from her mp4, but the volume was too loud for my baby ears (hehe!), so i listened to my own mp3 instead. walking from panamitan to aguinaldo shrine was too tiring, but honestly, we didn't notice the sweat & leg aches. we got there fast! that's the feeling pala when you're with someone you're close with & you talk while you walk...hindi boring, so mabilis yung parade.=P

^tHymAnGeRzZ at the parade! hehe...theother's missing! from left: edward, henicel, reycel,
erika, me!, and angelica. :-)
when we got there, we & the rest of the barkada reunited & we were asked to get the foods from the barangay there! so there i am, holding a plastic bag full of bottled waters (with the aid of alvin..hehe!) after that, all magdaleneans scattered & we strolled around the whole park. we saw alex santos of t.v. patrol world! gosh, i can't believe he's that handsome! hehe...startruck much? then we also saw bobby yan reporting for nbn ch. 4 (is that the channel? i can't remember!)
as time passed, one by one, my kabarkadas went home. ang naiwan lang: ako, si edward, & erika. we sat there for some time, but we grew tired & bored eventually, so we decided to walk our way home. pinipilit nga namin si edward na dun kami sa house niya muna eh, kaya lang ayaw niya. and there were no buses passing by, so no choice but to either walk or ride a tricycle (a ride costs P40 up!) so the three of us walked while eating a burger we bought. when we reached tabon, hindi na sumama si edward...hay naku, kung sino pa yung lalaki. anyway, we couldn't do anything so erika & i just continued walking & left him there, waiting for a bus. eh ayaw niya sumama eh! then my gand adventure started.
from marulas, we walked & walked & walked...just the two of us, both girls, looking very sweaty & tired. but we enjoyed it, though. that adventure proved how strong, brave, & challenging girls we are, & kahit na nag-parade na kami kanina, we didn't feel super exhausted. we got to our destination in no time, & i kept saying, "i can't believe we made it by just walking! maybe this is just a dream..." but of course it's not. erika decided to stay in our house for a while because she didn't want to go home yet. so we just played games on our new dvd player.
i will end the independence day celebration here, but there's a continuation. read next!;)
