Pangasinan

I am the type of person that don’t usually go out that’s why when I was invited by my friend to go with her in Pangasinan, I hesitated at first. Of course I was also thinking about school. That would be a total of 5 days and 4 nights. Isn’t that long for a student weekend? LOL.

So and so, I eventually said “yes”. Alright. We went there with our fellow Popsters (fans of Sarah Geronimo) and ate Rosh. By the way, my friend’s name is Ellen, and Rosh is Ellen’s officemate. We’re four, total.
Thursday night at 8 P.M. Because of the stories about Hundred Islands, I was so excited to pack my things. I prepared my Adidas backpack for my things—swimwear , jeans, blouses, tees, sunglasses, undies, slippers and of course my laptop. Slept at almost 12 in the morning.

Friday morning at around 8. I need to go up because I need to attend one subject that day, accounting! Then my class ended almost 10 A. M. I hurriedly went back to our unit to go grab my things and take the bus to Pangasinan!
We’re in the bus. I was hungry, Ellen prepared fried chicken earlier for lunch (no rice), fair enough, I’m on a diet. LOL. To make the story shorter, the travel took about 6 hours. After we had our dinner we went to ball because it’s their barangay fiesta. We played (or gambled? :D) ABC’s where you bet and if you win, you’ll get the same amount as your prize, choose your lucky color and rotating lights. It is a tiring day, isn’t it?

Saturday. We rested in the morning, ate a lot of foods, there’s the videoke, then in the afternoon we had a small drink. I was drunk. Ate Rosh was drunk but the rest they’re still alive!

Sunday, Hundred Islands day! Finally, we’re going to the hundred islands on this day! We went to “pantalan” where we took a boat to the islands. We visited the different island before we landed on the main island where we stayed for the rest of the day. The most catching island was the Bat Island where the “panikis” or bats are living. You can see black stuff hanging on trees, there are a lot! All of those are bats which look like flowers from a distance.
Swimming time! The sand was really white and fine. It was my first time to experience a beach like that. I excitedly changed outfit to take a swim. Water was cool, waves were big on the other side. We saw sea creatures like brittle star, and something like an earthworm, we just called it sea worm. We don’t know the name. LOL. We played on the water like kids, we played volleyball on the shore, ate mangoes, shrimp, spring rolls, and drank ice cold coke!
We went home early because ate Rosh needs to be in the bus before six in the evening. Long day so need to have a very good sleep. And before that, Ellen’s dad grilled some freshly dressed chicken, what a superb dinner!
Monday. The Popsters went to Baguio, we stayed in Pangasinan. We spent the rest of the day resting, chatting, playing with Ellen’s nephews, flying a kite! We decided to stay another day there in Pangasinan. We went back here in Manila on Wednesday morning. How we wished we could stay longer but it’s time to face the world again, school, dorm, school, dorm.

Until now, I’m still dreaming of going back to that place, the place where paradise lies. Place where you can have peace and happiness.
