Where was my neck the last time?

One month passed and yes, I'm sorry I was too lazy to update. -_-; I'd best get this over with now or else, I just might get too lazy to do it again some other time. XD

So there i was, sitting in one of the benches scattered all over the resort. I just finished eating the *free* food, and was already thinking of goin' for a swim. Time's a wastin' and so I left the oldies chatting in the pavilion. XD Then when I got dressed and was on my way to the pool, I bumped into my mom, and she had this "mad" expression on her face saying, "Why did you leave me??" Hehe.. of course... I made an excuse that my friend's already waitin' by the pool. But the truth is, I really don't know any of the kids I saw on the bus with me. XD When I got there, I saw my Tito Henry's daughter, which later introduced herself as Amelia. She kinda reminds me of myself in Grade 6. Chubby, short, "burnt mestiza". *hysterical laughter*

The exciting stuff only started after lunch, so maybe I should just skip the boring part. After all it was only a trip into the butterfly farm, experiencing a tickle or two from the resident mama and papa butterflies, and yes, feeling Devas creeping into you. X_x If only those things didn't cost 100 bucks a piece, I wouldn't have resisted brushing them off my ears. @_@ ANYWAY! We went back to the pool after eating a light lunch (buffet style native dishes, with pork lechon *yum!*, and of course, buko juice. AGAIN!) and there we found a LOT of people. Wonder where they came from... All through the morning I never saw any other big groups other than us. -_-" Okay, here comes the reason why I had a really stiff neck. ^^ We found one of our male groupmates, the son of the Association's Vice-President, Paolo. He was talking to one of the local youngsters, Vince, whose parents are workers in the resort. We got kinda bored so we joined in, until a dare was given and I sent Amelia to get 2 1-peso coins for us to hunt underwater. XD Madugas ako at first, then they noticed I was wearing my goggles. AHAHAHAHAHA!! XP Without the goggles of course, I couldn't see clearly in the now-a-bit-blurry water.. and eventually Vince beats us all in finding both coins. ^^;

Eventually, we got bored of that too, and when it was around 4PM, we decided to have the Water Wars. Amelia sits on my shoulders, Vince sits on Pao's shoulders, and they wrestle each other to get the opponent out of their comfy positions and into the water. Sounds fun? NOT IF YOU'RE THE ONE THEY'RE SITTING ON! I realized I made a mistake of volunteering to be the pillar, coz Amelia was... uhh... HEAVY. Maybe she was weighing around 190 pounds. Okay, so normally I wouldn't complain, but I hadn't got much exercise that time so I was having a hard time keeping her still. T_T I saw it as a miracle when we managed to beat the boys, 3-2. Then our parents called for us, coz it was time to go home. Such a shame I forgot to buy souvenirs... the dried butterflies looked yummy.. err... pretty. XP So there ends my adventure to San Pablo.

The next day, as I tried to get myself out of bed, I realized my neck was KILLING me. I can't turn it! I can't even get out of bed! T_T So as *usual*, I had to roll off the bed into the floor, and pretend I didn't feel a thing. And after 5 days, the reflexologist came and scolded me for what I did. She said I almost suffered from mild stroke. I dunno if that's true or not, but my family's trusted their lives to her for almost a decade now. What can I do but believe? XS

*sigh* finally, Part 2 finished. Time to get back to playing The Sims. ;D

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! >_<
