I'm glad we came ♩♪♫♬

We have always wanted a part 2 for our MASG (Mga Anak Sa Ginoo) outing and this time around the plans pushed through even if the attendance was, may I say... a little bit unsatisfactory. Everything was put on hold before because of the board exams. When the results came out it was a sign that we should really get things going... and so we planned.

It's really hard to plan things especially of the people involved are not very cooperative. Good thing that the planning committee was tight. We laid out our plans and just waited for confirmations. We were expecting more or less 20 people but it all went down to 9. Quite a small number for a get together but it was fun all the same. We enjoyed each other's company and the food... As Laurince would sing... I'm glad we came.

The night before the day of departure some of them already arrived. We ended up getting groceries at GMall but we had a little stop at Tealoca because Jhan had to meet with Ilona. I would like to sing again... I'm glad we came. Haha! She bought J.Co doughnuts. I missed it! And I crave as I type... *drools*

After all the errands we spent the entire night preparing for the early morning cooking that would follow. We retired quite early for the next day at my crib. Haha :D

We woke up around 4 am because someone didn't quite get the 5 am deal *coughs* Lau2x. The alarm goes... Whistle baby, whistle baby... So we had to go back to sleep for another hour because I believe we all needed it. Then, the master chef MASG edition begins. Our master chef is Jhan. He cooked spaghetti and bihon while I cooked breakfast for everyone. There were still a lot of things to do. We still have to buy lechon and coal. Tords was too early and ended up wearing these to the beach:

What a brilliant kid! Haha. I don't know what he was thinking about... Too busy to notice the slippers. On the other hand, Bem2x, Epoi, and Ken got left behind because they simply did not wake up on time. So, there were only 6 of us at first.

We arrived at Isla Reta just in time for lunch. While waiting for the rice we set up our tent and had the compulsory jump shot. I'll give full credits to Tords for all the jump shots. I must admit. He's good.

 

The night was still young and we needed to make the most out of it...


We had fun mixing the different colors/flavors of Tanduay Ice. The pink one is my favorite :D
   

We were forced to transfer our location because it seems like we were the only ones who were nocturnal on the island. We regret nothing because somewhere between our high pitched laughs and mind boggling pinoy henyo games we saw two dugongs near by. I was holding the camera and I just can't capture it right and the flash could't reach 'em. So we just stared until they went away. We were all dazed and it took us sometime to get over it. So I'll give you a photo just for you to picture it out... It looks like a mermaid! Leysa first thought it was a shark! Haha.

A lot of eating happened. Some volleyball. Card games. Pinoy Henyo. Drinking...and the rest was history. We all felt sleepy and so the night ended right. I had to wake up to see the beautiful sunrise and I dragged Ley and Tords into it. You all would agree that it's a beauty...




When everyone was up we ended up cooking breakfast except for some... Spot Bruno Mars embodying the lazy song! Hahahaha XD
The boys ended up playing volleyball again for the "rematch." We went for a quick stroll and poor Bem2x got left behind preparing for lunch that explains his absence in some photos.

We took a quick dip while it was drizzling and when the sun wasn't shinning so brightly. Though there were only a few of us it was super fun. Looking forward for the next escapade with these guys. We really don't have to try because it will always be a good time ;)

And we go singing once more... I'm glad we came ♩♪♫♬
