after my week-long suspension at FC, soul reaver's back!! as of now, i'm 10 posts behind sephiroth... but its okay... i'll regain the top spot soon... haha!
i got dragged to go with les' relatives to mendez (that's the municipality right after tagaytay) yesterday for the town fiesta... my aunt whipped me out of bed (we all stayed up until 1 am playing marvel vs. capcom) at 6 am... i didn't have a choice... so i got in my car, with les as my only passenger... she's the only one who had the guts to anyway...
les: dude! bagalan mo naman! babangga na tayo!
me: look, the truck's like five feet away... i can step on the brake anytime...
knowing my aunt, she can't last a whole sunday without going to church so we attended mass at the lourdes church in tagaytay first...
les: pare, giniginaw na ako...
me: nasa simbahan tayo, ang ingay mo... sino ba nagsabing mag-sleeveless ka?
len: eh kuya, naninibago nga ako eh...
me: why?
len: parang nakahubad si ate...
les: putang ina mong gago ka talaga kahit kailan! tarantado!
the mass ended at 9:30 am... too early... so my aun't decided to drop by taal vista lodge first... it was pretty nostalgic for les and i...
me: looks like the whole place has changed a lot since the last time we got here...
les: oo nga eh... tokwa, dito pa tayo naglalaro dati!
me: i know dude!
les: tapos diyan! diyan tayo nagpapagulong-gulong! di ba diyan pa nga tayo nagpa-practice mag-backflip?
me: dude, are you gonna cry?
and who would've thought that those changes would include paying 150 bucks when you happen to stay in the place longer than 5 minutes? i almost punched the security guard... but hey, i know he's just doing his job...
on to mendez...
a little history though (i got this from les)...
the whole town used to be a family property... that's where les' grandparents would stay during world war II... after the war, siyempre, tag-hirap and so les' grandfather was forced to sell a few lots... after a couple more years, they had a little family feud over the property so they divided it among themselves...
and so when we got there, we practically stopped over every single house there is in that place...
tapos relative pa nila yung mayor and vice-mayor... and almost every barangay captain... kung hindi nila kamag-anak, kaibigan or kakilala...
but i must say, i love the food!!! all fresh from the farm! and the coffee, damn, starbucks oughtta bow down to these guys!
nabitin nga lang ako... i collapsed eh...
i woke up later that evening, already back at home, to the sound of les' voice screaming, "encantadia na sa monday!! ang astig ng costumes!" (she was watching the primer)
