*A day in Manila*

My sister woke me up first hour in the morning. Get dressed & fixed things. Then I hopped in the van and located myself in the back corner. I still feel sleepy so I just shut my eyes. We stopped over at a gasoline station for necessities and the trip continued.
DIVISORIA. Oh my! I cannot believe what I just saw! The road was --- (i’m sorry for this! ☺) such a GROSS! Oh yeah, I know there is a wet market pero hindi ba nila malinisan yun?! It’s slippery and I hate the smell! There is so many people!!! However, what I don’t understand is they always look like in a hurry. Pagkabili namin ng mga tela, we had our late breakfast at McDonald’s (oh, I love McDonald’s!). Then we headed for the mall, just a simple little mall at Divisoria. We bought barongs and dresses for our relatives to wear on our grandparents’ wedding anniversary.
CRAME. We went to Crame for my dad’s needs. It rained while we were waiting. Na-bore ako kaya I took pictures using my phone, nagpaka-emo! (hmp! trying hard!) I love it when it rains!
SM NORTH EDSA. We hurried at North Edsa, dun kami magkikita ng aming mga kamag-anak. Assembly place was at Goldilock’s. I first saw Ate Nikki, my 19 years old cousin and the rest of the family. Gosh! I haven’t seen them since I was a baby! They live in Canada and nakikita ko lang sila sa pictures. Hmm, they’re great. Speechless. After the late lunch, nagpunta ako sa National Bookstore to buy an issue of Candy tapos namasyal sa CELINE with my mom and lola. Then, chit-chat with my cousins and bye-bye time. Oh, they have to go! How sad, too little time to bond. Hugs and whispers then we waved goodbye.

By 7pm, biyahe na uli kami pauwi sa La Union. I feel tired but I can’t sleep. I borrowed my sister’s phone and texted my boyfriend. Hehe, wala kasi ako load! Well, anyway, I was imagining he was with me, haha, crazy! When we arrived home, wash face and others then knockout!
