whew!

yesterday was my friend Rizza's village's fiesta and getting there was the start of my 12-hour adventure.

i left the house with Shellie at 'round 6 last night. we met up with Jared and Isa at school, took a cab and headed up south of davao. the wheather then was a little windy, then it drizzled, and finally it poured...hard, real hard!

downtown davao was all fine despite the strong winds and heavy rain(and the fact that we had an umbrella opened INSIDE THE CAB 'coz the front seat window can't be closed...imagine how stupid we must've looked like...). as we neared Matina, the flood was 2feet high! and that was just the first part of what turned out to a crazy-taxi ride for the four of us. the two-feet high flood didn't bothered us (at first) but when i felt something that's "multilegged" touched my leg for a split sec and asked the driver whether his cab has roaches, Shellie and Isa instantly had their foot on the cab's backseat couch screaming "aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!". shellie and Isa were still in a somewhat "sate of shock" (hehe) from the roach-thingee when a lightning struck and a very loud thunder followed though...the two of them, yes that's right, screamed "aaaaaahhh!!!!!!" again. then there was that flood which rose at about three feet high now. from inside, we could see that a CE NRO trash bin is now floating, a trisikad is half-way covered with water, and a number of cars got natirikan. plus, water started to come inside our ride! Now we're all freaking out! i mean, those cars that got stranded are far new-looking and bigger than the Kia Pride we're riding. this cab can't break down in the middle of this flooded sreet! i can take a flying roach but definitely not getting on a God-knows-what's-there flooded street and push a taxi to starting! so we were like "car, cooperate...kaya nato ni...ayaw sa og palong...puh-leeeeeeeaase..." and true enough, the cab made it through the flood...we got to Rizza's house alive!

and so we had our eating spree. 'twas a lot of fun with the unlimited food and the unlimited kwentuhan and biritan. when all our stomachs were filled, we then set ourselves for a movie marathon. the first flick was The Shutter. i already saw the movie before so i decided to take a nap while waiting for our second movie. then the second movie was on. t'was Brokeback Mountain. i, again, dozed off for the mean time since i've already seen that movie. then the third flick, A Lot Like Love, was played and on that too, i fell asleep. what was supposed to be a movie marathon turned out to ba a sleeping marathon for me. the last thing i was aware of was Rods' kwento 'bout those creapy experiances she has had. when we woke up this morning, we were soooo terrified to find out that it was almost 6 in the morning and the sun is already about to rise! ...we knew we'll be having kasaba for breakfast today.

so there we were, with faces that speaks of how we're oh so anxious about all the "kasaba" we'll be getting. but man, luck is on our side today! shellie just got 3 sentances of "kasaba", rodz got 1 sentance, and (drum roll please...) I got NONe!!! weeee!!!

ooops! there goes auntie Liloy...we'll be headi'n for Nabs na...ciao!
