chit Chat 2- Launching

My cousin Kaye organized the trip itinerary and gave us her budget projection. Each of us should set aside probably P25, 000 to P35, 000.00 for our 4 day excursion (hotels, food, fares, souvenirs and for shopping). When fiscal issues brought out, more concerns sink in…and it started to rock the group plans. Slowly one by one was backing out and was so undecided whether to go up to the last minute. Part of me really wanted to go ‘I really needed a break and a little board of my daily routines but P35, 000.00 is P35, 000.00, the money could buy me a new lap top or improve the rooms in my house.

A day before the trip I was still unsure and just told the office that if I were not able to report for work it meant I pursued my trip to Hongkong.

That morning of our trip I decided to go. A phone call from Taluds, we must leave early for airport. We need to use public transportation because the family who has the starex Van really backed out in coming with us due to financial reason . They would need almost P200,000.00 for 7 persons. ( the money could buy them a house L.O.L). I felt bad that it meant that the two little girls too (Aily and Cyril), will not be able to make it without their parents. I told Taluds that if we could still bring the two girls with us I will be willing to chip in and share money for the two girls. But they would need to secure DSWD permit to travel with us and that normally cost 3 days to get it.

When I got in Taluds House, the starex Van was there and shall transport us to airport. Aily and Cyril will go with us…no DSWD permit will be required because Te Lany their mother will also go with us mutually with her son Tyron. I learned that Taluds blubbered for the two girls to come with us, she guaranteed to shoulder all their expenses. Taluds really love the two girls. Being an old maid she treated them as her own. I was happy that Taluds will surely enjoy her trip.

Chit chat 1: 1st journey to the Planet Earth

I was surfing the net when the girls got in the room to borrow a lap top for flight booking. I was surprised that for P3, 904.00 only air fare (back and forth) we could enjoy the trip to Hongkong and Macau. What a luscious offer by Cebu Pacific Airline! We were all got excited with the cheapest fare ever but it was the last day to avail the promo, It was like now or never…go go? Or stay?
They encouraged me to join them, but I hesitated, no no no… it was way too impulsive for me to join them. I got better plans… In fact our office also got plans of travelling abroad this year.
Their excitement and happy perspective with their trip was communicable so I reconsidered the cheapest fare by asking my Boss. She advised me through text message that I might better well go with my cousins and grab the promo ticket. So I did!
My cousins immediately booked in the net for the last seats in Cebu Pacific. It was just January this year; however our flight was scheduled May 6 to 11, 2010. Election period. That meant giving up our rights to vote in the first ever electronic election in the Philippines. That was a big deal for a patriotic like me but at that moment I was already enticed and so ready to explore… all I want was to see new things and meet the World.
It was just Kaye, Math (her boyfriend) , Tita MInang (Kaye’s mother), my cousin Mae and Clenore who planned the trip , the original persons. Then the other people like Yvette and Emma were joined by Clenore, then Ludy booked her sister Fely also and the two little girls Aily and Cyril. Suddenly the mother of two girls surprisingly included herself in the trip and her three other sons. In that instant the group of 5 became 16 excited persons including me.
Wow it must be a very happy trip…. ( fingers crossed)

PREFACE: 1ST Journey to the Planet Earth

So many times...I get my laptop... coz I need to write... but I usually ended up playing plants vs zombies...or browsing my face book account...but I feel the urge to write, I need to write my experiences, but when will I be able to? When I am ready!...When will I be ready? Tomorrow? Maybe... I am really really finding it too hard to express in writing what my real experiences in my first ever trip out of the country. Its been a month now...

My dear friends had been asking for my blogs about my Hongkong trip, my unusual experiences there that they somehow heard already from somebody. But I am really not ready yet... I had been scribbling it though. The scenes were still fresh and running in my mind...but as I am i don't want to talk when emotions are too high...It would be unfair to the other party who will never have the chance to defend themselves in my blogs.

I really want to share it with you, I want the world to know the real thing...but I am still taking my sweet time... friends and followers more patience...You will have my series of blogs...Promise.. I love you guys! Here are some of my pictures....
