Friggin' pain in the neck! >_<

(this entry goes to my little sister, Rhoda. haymishyew baby sis! T_T)

Darn, I feel like I wanna lie down on a bed all day long. Now I know what it feels like to have a neck brace. I'm beginning to imagine myself turning my head 180 degrees like a zombie. X_x It all started yesterday afternoon...

Yesterday, I woke up with a pinch, and a killer head ache. I tried to stay up late to play MU @ 2am so I could try to hunt the White Wizard. Unfortunately, I think I gave up around 1.30, the music on the station I chose on my cellphone's radio played mellow music after another. String of lullabies. >_< Anyway, it was only 5am, and though I knew my hair looked like hell, I forced myself to roll off the bed and crawl downstairs for breakfast. We were going to a resort in San Pablo City... and the good news is, it's FREE! The owner of the resort invited the neighborhood association's officers and their families to come and visit for FREE. I was excited the night before, but then again, I was a lousy person in the morning. I was pissed when I found out I had to wake up early. =.=

So we set out on our way to the Clubhouse, stopping by a friend's house who requested for a carpool, and waited in the resort's exclusive transport. What pissed me off all the more is the fact that we were supposed to leave 8am (to mom: WHAT!? You woke me up 5am because you thought we're leaving at 7!?) and it took AN HOUR to wait for the others. I was at my wit's end when I realized, we were leaving. O_o

Going to the resort took 1.45 hours with minimal traffic. The narrow path from the main road to the resort's gate took 10 minutes. (it was so narrow, even people step aside to give way to the bus! XD) After a long, arduous (not to mention nauseating) journey, we finally arrived at the infamous Dioko Resort & Butterfly Farm. What welcomed us inside really surprised us... I can tell. XD Aside from the well-known butterfly farm, the place had a mini zoo! I saw an eagle, a falcon, a heron, an animal called kangaroo tree (weird name, don't ask coz i dunno either XD), deer, a family of ostrich and a lot more. I found everything so fascinating. After all, the last time I've been to a zoo was like... when I was only below 4 feet tall. XD I know I haven't grown in height too much from that time, but what the heck, that ain't the question here! (Btw, I took a picture of the eagle tilting his head. He was soooo cute! XD) We came to the pavilion, the center of the resort, and the owner, Mr. Dioko shook all our hands. It was cute when he shook hands with the President's baby. The kid was clinging hard to his finger. XD We were served macaroni soup for our snacks. And get this... he had buko juice straight from the fruit served as our water. I was wondering how'd that taste with the soup. O_o And as a dessert, he fetched for a sack full of lanzones. That thing'd cost a whole lot in Manila. It was practically cost-free and trouble-free for all of us... And they were sweeeeeeeeeeet! *drools* made me abandon my hot soup in a flash. @_@

Anyway, I'll tell the Part 2 of my adventure with the butterflies (and the reason for my pain in the neck) another time. My neck's really killing me! >_<
