Hello my dear blog! I took a long break in blogging and now…where
do I begin?
Many times I felt a great desire to make an update - about
my dog that died last May or about my travel adventure with my high school friends
version 2.0. Apparently, I struggled with procrastination. But now I’m back…with
a happy story to tell. Because this blog deserves a blissful comeback.
Let me share with you a speck of my Sunday Pasay Getaway.
After numerous weeks of planning, last June 29 my cousins
and I finally had a fun fun fun Sundate. We were only six - me, my four younger
cousins and our aunt who is also younger than me. We started the day by attending the Kerygma
Feast at PICC. That was the first time for my two female cousins. Attending The Feast never fails to set a good mood. Past 12pm, we
had lunch. Since Flaming Wings and Zarks were both closed we ended up filling
our starving tummy at Yellow Cab, Taft Avenue. While waiting for our order to
be served, we took our first groupie and second and third and fourth etc.

Before 2pm, we headed to our ultimate destination – Star City.
We had a thrilling ride-all-you-can pass through Metrodeal’s promo worth Php280
instead of PhP420, a relatively affordable bonding activity for the six of us. Who wouldn't be happy getting a 30% discount? I
was actually expecting a long queue towards the redeeming counter. But
everything went so easy. Star City was not even crowded. The weather outside was
also good. The whole world was seemingly conspiring to make good things happen
on that day. We enjoyed (and sometimes feared) almost all rides available
inside. However I just had to decline the Star Frisbee which for me has no dash
of amusement. Giant Star Wheel was remarkably way better than SM MOA Eye. Bump
Car is classic but has never failed to stimulate blood cells. Yet, Star Flyer
was my personal favourite. The strong breeze rushing into my face was just breath-taking.

The whole day was literally packed with stories, laughter,
scream, selfie and groupie. But was it just about the fun that made that day
superb? It was a rare moment though not for the four of us who live under one
roof (hehe). To bond with our two female cousins was really monumental. Haha! I
bet our cousins who were not with us that day were also surprised to see us
together having a good time. More than that, it has paved way to reinforce
family ties specially among us, cousins. In fact, the moment one of my cousins
posted a number of photos in Facebook, some of our cousins in the province immediately
expressed their wish to have a grand reunion. Well, that was the goal from the
very beginning. It was just my simple dream and we made it happen. We were able
to pull off a significant result. Sure it was a tiring day, but nevertheless
very fulfilling. God is good.
