I am officially sun-kissed! :) I am tanned and loving it -- well, not exactly all of it, my skin kinda hurts right now, but that's the way it's gonna be for a few days, i guess. Last Saturday was our outing from work. We were supposed to go to Subic but it's kinda costly for us since we were a big group. We're just around 30 people from work (in our area, i mean) but since almost everyone brought their family along (like those who have their own children), we were around almost 50 persons all in all. So instead of Subic, we headed to Zambales. :) It was a simple resort that we had to ourselves. It has 3 bedrooms, a workplace for cooking and things like that, some nippa huts, and of course.. the beach! :)
I never thought that I'd enjoy my self that much since I haven't known my workmates that well yet, being a new employee and all. BUT I DID! :) I especially bonded with Ate Chie and Kath 'cos I was with them most of the time, and we were roommates. It was already night time when we arrived there 'cos we left Manila after the morning duty pa (which is around 4 pm na). We had dinner, chatted and took some photos, then the drinking spree started already. Actually, the drinking kinda started in the bus pa lang. I had 2 shots of Fundador, haha! Hindi daw pwedeng tumanggi ako sa shot 'cos i was 'the-almost-birthday-girl' haha! After having some drinks (punch na lang actually, the other drinks were consumed by the boys before we knew it), Ate Chie, Me and Kath went for a night-swimming. After a while, we decided to lie down on the sand and did some stargazing. Awww. Nakaka-senti pala yung mag-stargaze sa beach, haha! Basta, i got to thinking about some stuff. The moment was nice. Senti BUT relaxing din at the same time. Kinda ironic, but that's how I felt. Then, we all shared different stories. Chikahan galore and bonding. Ate Chie and I waited for sunrise. I kinda fell asleep while waiting for it (blame the discman, the songs were mellow kasi eh) but Ate Chie woke me up when it was sunrise already. BEAUTIFUL SIGHT. The sky was a mixture of lilac, yellow and blue. Basta ang calm tignan. That made my morning. :) Then Ate Chie walked to the beach pa but suggested that I go to the room and sleep na muna. I did. Pero for around an hour lang. Kasi after that, Ate Chie was waking us up already para daw mag-breafast na and to use the videoke and to swim daw. Ang daming agenda, addict! Hahaha! :)
We left the place around 5pm na and it was majorly traffic! We were expecting na the other vacation-goers will be coming back to Manila by today pa lang since it's a holiday and all.. pero NO. Traffic was really heavy. We had our stop-over sa may NLEX for our dinner, then continued to travel back to Manila. Got home around almost 11pm na and was sooo tired. Then duty pa kaninang morning. Buti nalang not much patients kasi holiday kaya we had the chance to rest.
