André’s Weblog

Yesterday we went to Pangasinan to visit the shrine of Our Lady of Manaog. We left at 4am!! It so so damn early. Lol. I just listened to some music while in the car. Mom and Dean were fast asleep, again. I was the only one to keep my Dad company. By the time we got to our first stop, Burger King (:D), we ordered fried food! I had the BK Xtra-Long Chicken sandwich with fries and Sarsi. It feels good to taste something that isn’t Mac D or Jollibee. After “breakfast”, it was a long drive to the shrine. Of course, I helped my father maneuver his way on the road. We wanted to get there fast. It also felt nice because I was listening to upbeat music. Lol.

After our visit was over, we had lunch at this place called Isdaan. It was a huge restaurant wherein the tables are inside small huts which were all floating in water! It was all connected with bamboo walkways. When you look your table, you will see a lot of fish! As usual, being the superior one in the food chain, I toyed with the fish’s stupidity and inferiority. Everytime I extend my hand out of our hut, the fish would swarm over my hand! I guess they got used to being fed by humans. So everytime they see a hand above the surface of the water, they think that it’s feeding time! I did that for 20 times and it amused me each and everytime they would swarm over my hand. Lol. Me and Dean had pork sisig while mom and dad had lechon kawali and sinigang na shrimp. It tasted good. nothing absolutely mind-blowing, but good none the less.

On our way home, there was heavy traffic along Cubao. We were stuck there for almost an hour. Thank God I brought my PSP with me. It surely helped pass time by. I was also lucky enough to get a Wi-Fi signal when we stopped by the nearest Shell gas station. I quickly checked my email and browsed the latest news from CNN. Oh technology, what would I ever do without you?!?!

I’m 20 years old!! AAAArrrrrghhhhhhhh! I feel so old now. LOL

Being a teen was ok I guess. Time to act more mature eh? This is the age I consider true adulthood. I don’t have the word teen in my age anymore.

This day is going to be simple. At least there are no classes today, thanks to the typhoon. While I feel worried that some people in the provinces might be homeless before the day is done, that shouldn’t let me down. I will definitely wish them a more reasonable fate.

Woohoo! Blog again later!

I spent some alone time here at home. The parents and the brother went out. Only the André was in the house.

I had to start studying for a big Theology (yes. More useless classes to justify the tuition fee.) exam on Monday. That didn’t go too well because AXN had the Amazing Race 10 catch up marathon! Lol. I ended up binging and finishing the whole thing. It was really exciting. I get really jealous when I see these people going to lots of different places, nestled in different continents. Maybe one day I’ll consider joining. Of course when that time comes, we’d all be wearing space jumpsuits. And it won’t be much of a race to the finish line anymore. It’s going to be a contest on who can find all the parts of their teleporter so that they can vanish to the designated finish line. Who ever wins will be granted a travel back through time.

Tomorrow, the family will go to Lola’s place. She said she’d cook my birthday feast now because she know’s next Sunday will be mall day. We’re going to give our 2 puppies to my cousins tomorrow. 4 dogs in the house is just too much. We’re going to miss them though. There won’t be any animal running around, like there’s no tomorrow, in the gazebo after dinner. At least there won’t be any poop to step on anymore. This is their last night with us.

Oh well, time to start studying again.

PS. I want new jackets!!!!!
