My Saturday started very ordinary. I woke-up early and ate
breakfast. I packed my bag and checked my books and notebooks for Spanish class. I rode a tricycle, jeep
and the LRT… walked until I reached the edifice
of Instituto Cervantes. I waited at the bar because I was 30 minutes early
for the class. My eyes seek for something interesting on sight until I saw some
verses posted in the wall. The
verses were the same things posted randomly in the LRT. One of the verses
caught my attention.
“Si alguna vez la
vida de maltrata, acuérdate de mi,
Kung sakaling malupit
sa iyo ang kapalaran, alalahanin mo ako,
Que no puede cansarse
de esperar
Dahil hindi mapapagod
sa paghihintay
Aquel que no se cansa
de mirarte…
Itong walang sawang
tumitingin sa iyo…”
Luis Garcia Montero (Granada, 1961- )
Wouldn’t it be nice
to ponder that someone is looking at you in a beautiful never ending manner?
After reading and writing this verse to my journal I sat on the orange sofa
opposite the bar. When I looked on the stairs, I saw a familiar face. It’s one
of the people I don’t see every time I went to that place. A quick hi and hello
and my day was more interesting. The schedule was posted by Marie –at last. Nivel 7 was divided into two (2). One
was of the classes would be using a room in the ground floor and the other the
multimedia room. I waited for the corrections in the room assignments until
Joan came. We got to see the final room assignment and went-up to the aula
Multimedia. We are happy to see that we are still classmates (Pat, Kat,
Kate, Joan and me – Greg was on the other class). We met one of the most
interesting teachers –Ms. Ana Marie.
She was a very soft spoken mother-like person. She transcends people listening
to her like you were listening to a mother’s lullaby. We definitely loved her!
A new tense was taught –the preterito
pluscuamperfecto –ouch! After the
class we saw Ana and decided to take some pictures before pat and I leave for
lunch.
Meeting
the old and a new...
Pat and I talked about stuff over lunch at Jollibee. I
decided not to join the gang (kalai-pat-ria) in Pampanga. After a long talk- I
decided to come anyway (lols). We dropby the GABC office to pick-up ryan (an
old officemate that will join us to meet the dressmaker). We drove along NLEX until we meet ate Sol. Ate Sol was
a jolly person. She was one of Pat’s trusted “mananahi”. After a long discussion and a few sip of coke and much
of chocolates and macapuno balls we left her house to drop ryan to the fx
terminal. Pat and ian went to SM Marilao
to wait for the others (Ria-Kalai-daboi). We spent our time malling and eating
dinner. We even encountered the only male sales of a known female undergarment
in the department store. We had a quick chat with the guy and few questions. He
was so kind and very gentleman indeed. We rushed to the car after everything
and waited there for our friends’ arrival. They arrived past 9pm. We drove to
the nearest gasoline station along NLEX with food shops to have dinner. And
took some pictures: Meeting
the old and a new... (1st time) Pat-Kalai-Ria and ian to be together
plus meeting "daboy" for the first time (lols).
We drove all the way to Clarkfield pampanga because the
Balloon fiesta will start 5:30am. I wasn't supposed to be joining these friends
of mine but... I did- we needed to sleep and every single hotel/apartelle in
Clark Pampanga was fully-booked that night (it's almost 1 am) we checked-in in
an inn (lolls) and we are delighted and excited to see the Hot-air Baloons for
tomorrow...
Unang
gabi sa isang Motel
Early morning, I woke up and woke-up everyone else. Quick
showers and we are all set to see the balloons. Yey! It’s a wondrous
experience.
Lipad-lobo-lipad
: 10th of February 2008, Ang unang
gala naming magkakasama nina Pat-Kalai at Ria (+daboi).
Nakakapagod/nakakastress na byahe ngunit isang araw na puno ng kasiyahan. Ang
mga makukulay na lobo at aking mga kaibigan...
After the balloons flew we checked the booths and exhibit.
Ian
with the soldiers... : After the
balloons flew we spent a little more time in the place to just sit down and
chit-chat plus get some pictures with the men in uniform lols...
We are all starving and we decided to go somewhere else to
have lunch.
Lunch
at Gerry's Grill sa SM Clark: Matapos ng panonood ng mga lobo ay
nantili kami sa SM Clark upang kumain ng
tanghalian matapos makita si Che(She) .
It was a long
wonderful weekend for me. I arrived almost 4pm at our home and woke-up 5:30am
this morning….
