Hahahaha. Found this in Friendster, for April 07 2005 (that’s April 08 for us).

Oh, galing ano? Hehehe.

You know when you get this feeling that maybe you shouldn’t say something but you say it anyway and you just feel so stupid afterwards for saying it? Somehow I was raped many times by that feeling and yet I wasn’t even able to report it to Bantay Bata before I could even stop my lips. Harm done. Now JP and Paul know how stupid I am to think that I’d actually find myself as a proudly alienated tourist over at Lucena, Quezon.

Okay. So sue me if back then I was a bumbling tourist who was just itching to get out of Cavite. I was honestly hoping I wouldn’t be able to understand the dialect of the next person I’d ask directions from when I was there. But alas, I go, “Manong, asan po ang McDo dito?” and the guy gives me the directions, his Tagalog more polished than my dad’s car in the morning.

7:10 pm. “Anong iniisip mo?! Lucena yun, eh. Luzon ka pa rin, Tagalog mga tao dito!” JP nearly screamed a while ago while we were on our way to SM Bacoor to purchase the boat tickets that would take us LATER on (it’s 1:56am, couldn’t sleep) to Zamboanga.

“Di ba Region 4 pa rin yun?” Asks Paul. They were not laughing that loud, but I was really really squirming.

“Eh malay ko bang ganoon yun. Hindi ko na naisip yun dahil sobrang excited ako, eh!” I said defiantly. Of course, I knew they wouldn’t buy that.

“Pwes, pagdating mo ng Zamboanga, doon, Cha-chavacanuhin ka dun!” Paul affirmed with a slight chuckle.

Yeah, that’s what I want. The good, authentic, out-of-Luzon-and-into-nowhere-with-hopefully-sanitized-toilets. Zamboanga, wait for us.

7:40 pm. �Hon dun lang kami sa may air phils sa tabi ng mR. quickie.� I was out rummaging for what seemed like P18 comic book sandman series of whatever at Booksale when I got the text. I left the two boys haggling at the Super Ferry counter at the east wing.

Tina says Super Ferry�s really good, except she hasn�t ridden one that�s moving on water. Brought kids on a fieldtrip, she says. I couldn�t wait myself to try it out. I haven�t really ridden a boat, save a few banca rides when my father used to have this banca in my younger years. Our trip to Thailand in �95 saw airplanes.

�Magbabarko kayo?!� My mother outrageously asked me the other night after she found out the vehicle of choice. We�re going boat to Zam, then plane back to Manila.

�Kung nalaman ko yan dati pa, hindi na kita pinayagan! Eh seasick ka, eh!�

I pause for almost a few painfully sarcastic minutes. �Uhm, ma, paano ninyo nalamang seasick ako, eh hindi pa ako nakakasakay ng barko?�

She was obviously caught.

�Wala na daw space, puno na daw,� Paul announces after I trace their location. �Plane tayo.�

�Lahat? O sa MegaValue lang?� I asked, citing the �kiddie meal/value meal� trip of Super Ferry. Honestly, it could have been better if they named it that way, and if the trip comes with a free toy.

�Lahat.�

Urk. I guess we�re flying. But the boat ride we�re saving for later.

11:08pm. Hon, old domestic airport tayo. �

Hmm. Paul�s still awake. Not a surprise, really, since probably everyone�s doing what I�m doing: not getting any sleep and downing lots of caffeine.

2.13am Click. Clack. Click. Click. Clack. Clackety clack clack clakety clack. Click click.

Can�t sleep. Can�t sleep. Canasdfkjlkjlk.lkjadslkfjalkjfoia fajdfjas;kdfja �i.

I�ve already packed up. I�m afraid I have to do a quick trip to school tomorrow to get some things at the office before we leave. No choice, I�m the nearest. If I don�t sleep I might kill my self while going to Dasma in the morning. But I still can�t sleep.

I would have provided a pic of my ticket to make this blog entry better, but I already packed my cam and cord so I won�t forget. Bringing my rechargeable too. Btw, Jace, I bought a Sanyo 2500 at Quiapo for only P1580. Max tipped me about that.

Anyway, I changed the index back so it�d forward to the blogspot page. I was supposed to redirect only after the Pope has been buried, but I might not be able to update in Zam. JP�s afraid they might have only Pentium 1 comps. Bad JP.

I�m bringing my phone anyway, so just in case, just holler!
