Summer Vacation Rocks!

VACATION? When we hear that word our ears, raised up and our minds were jumping to happiness. Some maybe can relate to this who really a lover of vacations, and for me I really loved vacation because it is our time to unwind, to refresh our mind to the stress we get from our studies and other stuff in life. Reporting’s there, project’s here, defense’s everywhere and when we do all that things, our mind is in a state of a riot we don’t know what to do first and when to start, but we don’t have a choice but to fulfill and finish lots of things and requirements on time. But it’s normal for me to have that work because I’m a nursing student, our works were very loaded, hectic, jump pack in others words, especially me, when other nursing students were stressed out, in my situation it doubles the stress I feel because of my type A personality(that I learned in my General Psychology class), I worked simultaneously, I’m not in peace when I have works that were undone and I tend to be really stressed, and freak out all the time I had that kind of tasks. But in some, they can handle it like type B personality they were relax every time there is a problem they take it in a relax mind, that they know they can do and finish it.

And if vacation time arrives, I’m very happy because I can relax my mind from works and all I have to do is to enjoy the moment, time and the environment. This last summer was the most and most vacation ever that I can say the most unforgettable. And I want to share some of these experiences. The first part of my vacation was when we went to Subic, this happened before our summer class begun and it was really fun. Aside from it’s my first time to be there, it also reminisces my childhood days. We went on a beach with a little bit of white sand, it brought back my memory of my childhood because I’m really a lover of nature and I loved to swim in the sea and when we’ve been there, I enjoy the beach because when I lived here in Manila all were swimming pools and chlorine mixed around the water some was just enough and other were too much chlorine mixed. I really enjoyed the view of sunset, the beach and especially my friends of mine Arrenz, Ami, Marga, Binca and Ling, Ivan, Edwin and Tina who I missed so much right now. After that outing our summer class has begun, but we talked always that after that summer class we will have again an outing and we chose Batangas. Because of Subic adventure we had and I admit we had a deficit in money so we did was, we earned money all through out summer class I collected money everyday, I was so dedicated because I really want to go there.

But before that Batangas outing I had a Quezon vacation stop over first. And it was really unforgettable because, I joined Flores de Mayo there or Santacruzan, because my sister’s mother-in-law was “hermana” in the church there and they chose me as a Reyna Elena, I am very flattered because that’s the most awaited part in the procession.:-)But it’s not only a procession I thought of, there’s a little of role play to be held after. I memorized a 12 stanza poem or they call it “Luwa”, how was that! very stressful but I know I can do it because I memorized a lot when I had my Micro-Para class, but when I read the poem I’m so lost because the Tagalog used was so very deep and I don’t know how will I pronounced that but it was fun I learned new things. And when that Santacruzan day came, I’m very excited because before when I was a child I always say to myself that when I grow up I will be there with an escort and will be crowned Reyna Elena, and suddenly now was the time(this in my moment!). Many people were watching, smiling at me and saying I’m beautiful (bonga!) that my gown was very nice. Although it was a long walked and with a rocky road, all that struggles was gone because of beautiful comments I had with the people. I feel like I’m a princess of some castle, walking on my territory while my people was looking on my beauty (xoxal!lol). After that, the fun never stop, in the night, there was a party held for the participants of the Santacruzan to introduce to all the people. It was exciting because it was also a pageant of beauty I was chose to be one of the muse. And what we did was with my partner, we dance in the middle of the ball and then we solicited money and good thing on it was for the church. And on the good side of me, one of my personality was being competitive, I want to win that moment and it happened I was crowned 1^st , and people there was happy for me because although I‘m new on that place I’m not shy to approach people to solicit money , talked and interact with them. Also a part of that night, and unforgettable was dancing with the oldies who was drunk and with the tune of old, old song, it was really fun because I learned how to dance in the old way and at the same time it was exhausting because after a dance I cannot sit because many people will approach me to dance and you cannot refused because it was made for fun and not for corny people.

After that day I did not sleep, I went to Batangas already for our outing, and it was really, really far, far as I thought. I ride a lot of buses, tricycles before I got to Nasugbo, Batangas. But when I came to the beach I feel relieve because of the beautiful spots and sceneries there. And I say I became black (dark) because we swim all through out and it was under a really hot sun. We have lot of foods, drinks, but the store there was really expensive they sell their stuff 3 times with its real price and all we can do was to buy that because we don’t have other store to buy at. And the most unforgettable moment in there was when we were all asleep in the seashore then suddenly, a big wave of wind came to us. Many tents were falling, as if there were an upcoming storm and it rained really strong we were like wet chicks there because we all stayed in a nipa hut but it was fun and adventurous. And that was a part of my Batangas adventure and we also had a stop over in Tagaytay where we saw Taal Volcano. Take pictures there and eat our breakfast there.

After that Batangas outing I went back to Quezon to spend the rest of my vacation, and it was also fun because I reminisces my past. I also hosted my nephew’s party we held games, games, games and party. We packed foods, assisted children and ate lot of foods there. After that, we went again swimming, that time we went again to the beach and it was really white sand. I enjoyed the beach with its blended blue and green water. We picked sea shells with shapes and the white sand. After that I also experienced bathing in what they called “puso” it was really fun.

That was a part of my adventurous, funniest, and relaxing summer vacation. It gave me another life and a relief to all the stressed I had. I hoped that it’s not the end of it. I hoped it was just a start of the one of my summer vacation in life. Vacation was really fun it was like a delicious food that when you eat and was finished, there is a tendency that after that you want another one and craving for it. And will make your world rocks, Vacation rocks!
