ABRA! (part 2)

Day 3: March 29

We all woke-up late from last night's revelries. We were supposed to wake-up early, but it seems no one was in the mood.

After our morning rituals, we prepared to go to the market to buy some things we need for lunch and dinner. We also needed to buy some pasalubong like "kakanin" and the more sinful "Bagnet". After buying all those, we quickly stopped by the house and then proceeded to the farm to have lunch.

An entire Lechon was being roasted on the farm when we got there which got us all excited. Excited to a point that no one took pictures while we were eating!

After lunch, we laid the blanket again to have a not-so-quick game of in-between!

Mga adik sa in-between!!!






After a few hours of playing, we headed back to the house to clean-up to prepare for our travel back to Manila.

Once in the house, Tin's barkada started plotting a "surprise" for her. They have this recent tradition in their barkada that whoever has a birthday will have an egg bashed on their head. (weird yet funny tradition, right?)

Tin made the mistake of pointing-out that they weren't able to do it to her. She spoke too soon...

Her barkada called for a group picture, which starts out fine:



Then, someone yelled for a "wacky shot". Then bam! Before you know it, 2 hapless eggs are now dripping from Tin's head!



Anyone ordered scrambled eggs?


After cleaning-up, we rested for a little while.

Tin post egg-in-hair treatment


Soon it was dark. We had dinner, and as usual tomato-and-bagoong was still a blockbuster.

After resting for a little while, we decided to hit the road back to Manila. But
before that, of course, picture-taking sessions!

The "formal" group picture:



And then someone yells "wacky shot!"... Thankfully, no eggs were harmed this time.



After saying our goodbyes and thank yous, we all jumped into the van. As usual, everyone was in high spirits. We stopped over some pasalubong shops for some tidbits.


Day 4: March 30

Soon we were already in the Expressway. By this time, almost everyone was sleeping.

Kuya Ronnel, as a joke, put his head on Chot's shoulders while driving. Dang and Ate Apple who were seated at the back saw this and screamed at Chot. Chot who was at that time, sleeping, woke-up in panic-mode and tried to get a hold of the steering wheel. Kuya Ronnel managed to stop Chot. He told her that he was just kidding. Obviously, this woke everyone up! (all, except Tin!)

We decided it would be best if we stopped for coffee. We stopped at the first gas station which had a Starbucks in it. Luckily, we got some coffee a few minutes before they were about to close-up.

After that quick break, we were once again on the road to Manila. By 3am, we were already at near Tin's house in Pasig. Tin's dad was there to meet us, and once inside the house, her mom was there aswell, waiting for us. This is the first time I am meeting them. Can you just imagine my awkwardness?!

After the usual "hello po", and other niceties, we dropped our stuff and went to Tin's bedroom to sleep.

We woke-up early morning and proceeded to fix my stuff. Tin did the packing as she was so much better at that than me. :p

By 11am, we were on our way to Makati to meet-up with my lunchberks for lunch. Now that's for another blogpost. :D
