My last 10 days in the Philippines

Backlogs. I know. Bon voyage sprees with friends had kept me really busy. :)

Wakeboarding!
Republ1c Wakepark

So it was my first time to do this and I have to admit, it wasn't hard to fall in love with it! :) Hershey and I were the newbies and the rest of my friends had done this 3-4 times already. Hershey and I had a goal that we had to reach the end even just once, before we leaving the place.

Hershey and I fell a few times but we eventually did it! We actually had more than our fair share of successful wakeboarding back and forth in that man-made river!!! :)

Yeah, girl!
Of course, it wouldn't be possible without Sparkly (uhh yeah, I did the honor of naming it. Haha!), my trusted and favorite board! Once I laid my feet on it to use it, I was able to cross that water! It was lighter than the former boards I used. It matched the my weight and the 'leg power' I have (which isn't that much, obviously) so it was easier to manipulate. It was my lucky board, nevertheless. :)

I was looking for things I left there in our house that I might need to bring with me to Australia. My high school uniform was one of the things I found in my closet (But I didn't bring it here in Australia). I had to try it on and it still fits me! :) Gosh, I miss high school. :(

Bon Voyage Late-Lunch
At our place

I invited friends from elementary and work and my bestfriend. Unfortunately, my elementary friends weren't available that day.

In the good old days, when we weren't tied up with more adult responsibilities, we used to hang out at each other's house.

He goes to our house more often though. With ice cream bucket in his hand. We would talk and laugh for hours, until wee hours in the morning.

We had never been to each other's place, never been able to sit down, eat ice cream together, talk and laugh then end the night with photo spree for almost three long years!

But that night, we did! Again! Yay!!! :) (Hmm, kung di lang ako aalis, baka di pa tayo magkita!)

I missed you and I am going to miss you even more, my brother from a different set of parents (What?! Hahaha!)!!! Visit me, okay!!! :p

And that was what went down during my last 10 days in the Philippines. Plus the almost everyday, seemingly endless packing in-between. Haha!
