i lied esse!

remember what i've said in my last post?

"going back to my story, early this week, from monday to thursday morning, we camped at ram's house for our thesis."

well actually, i snucked out of ram's house early tuesday morning and went home (that was after a whole night of work). we were actually sheduled to take our balik-bayans to the farmhouse in amadeo and tagaytay. i wouldn't have gone with them if i didn't promise chai to spend the day with her. she was kind'da feeling forgotten because of the workloads i have been doing lately. i see that opportunity as a free date. LOL. this is also one of those times i could spend time with both my family and my butterfly. bonding time! =)

we left las pinas at around 920 and arrived the coffee farm before 11. chai was really excited seeing the place because twas her first time. in there, i did some supervising with the paintjob giving out orders to the workers. (muwahahaha! powah!) the two balik-bayan kids were running around the place, pestering the workers with their stored energy. (those kids have more potential energy than a golf-ball's dense core!)

lunchtime at leslie's and oh boy, the dishes was superb! ehrmm... not for chai. my tita accidentally spilled the piping hot bulalo soup on chai's chest! i quickly ordered the waiter to bring us a bucket of ice to help cool down chai's red chest. i applied ice on her while she eats. i felt so embarrassed! good thing she was a sport (and because of the fast first aid, it didn't swell-up) so much for that. we burned a few films for posterity (although no actual film was used, duh? figurative) after eating and rested on the over-hanging kubos near the crater of taal. while we were resting, the two kids were wrecking havoc on the restaurant's garden.

rest time was over and it's off to residence inn zoo we go. i have been there a couple of times already and i could say, thir collection of fauna is far more diverse than what you see in manila zoo. they also have a few oddities in like the 5 legged bull and pig and the albino cow. i was out of energy, sleepless and tired. chai stayed with me at the bench as we wait for the others to finish their sight-seeing.

all-in-all, 99 bucks was worth it. well, technically it wasn't me who paid for chai and myself but my mum's 99 was worth it. LOL! by the time we finished circling the zoo, the sky was already growing dark. maybe it's late, maybe it's just gonna rain. well, it was more of both. we drove home with rain showering down on us, blessing another wonderful experience with my girl and my family.
