It was a promising day for my shift. Not as tiring as it used to be but, unluckily, still no VGH. What the heck! Complete shift means more money. More money means more savings. More savings means I can buy what I want on Christmas or whenever it's enough for me to buy what I want.
Why did I say it'll be a sleepless Sunday? Our team had a plan to have a team building/bonding activity in San Mateo today. A despedida party for Carrie as well. It was intended to be an overnight event. Due to unexpected circumstances, a last minute change of decision was needed; I cannot go.
After shift, we ate at Pancake House. This was a pre-celebration of Van's birthday this coming Monday. She treated us breakfast and it was awesome. She was given a scoop of ice cream and it had a note of Happy Birthday! It was so nice of Pancake's to do so.
My aunt from the US came back in the Philippines after 21 years for vacation. Since she's a balik-bayan and she misses a lot of things that's only here in the Philippines, they always plan to visit different places near the metro. Since it was her last day here in Metro Manila before she goes to Iloilo, they went ahead and planned that they will be going to Tagaytay today. Now, I'm torn between my team and family obligations. Which one should I prioritize? Family or team? Of course, as they always say: blood is thicker than water, family comes first.
I told my teammates about it and said that I'll just follow after the trip. So here we went to Tagaytay, I thought it will be cold since it's somehow on an elevated area but I guess because it was mid-afternoon when reach the place, it was darn hot! My sweat is dripping like an open faucet. I did enjoy it generally. We visited a convent and strolled in their garden. It was cool. The scenery was awesome. Never ending picture-taking on every spot that captures our eyes.
After that, we ate in RSM. It was fabulous. The food was extremely mouth-watering and overwhelmingly satisfying. Actually, we weren't able to finish all the food because it was too much for our stomach to handle. The restaurant was also situated near Taal Lake and you can see an overview of the Taal Volcano. You will be captivated in the beauty of the scenery. The breeze was refreshing. You'll be flabbergasted and you'll just hold your breath with how charming a volcano can be.
And last in our itinerary, Palace in the Sky or the People's Park. It was first time there. It was an old ruin. A building that was conceptualized but never finished. I was just looking at it and picturing how it could have looked like if it was ever built. I did not so much enjoy going there. It was just plain and you can't do much if you go there. We ended up staying just for 30 minutes and then we left. Most of the time what did was just sat down and rest.
We headed home and took the never-ending traffic jam in EDSA. It's an opportunity to do what was taken out from me , sleep. It was my first actual sleep for the day. It was amazing. I was energized.
Due to this trip, I was not able to follow our team bonding activity. We returned damn too late for me to follow them at San Mateo. I'm worried if I'll follow I might get lost or something worse may happen. I just informed Dulce about it and they said that they understood and it was fine. They told me as well that there will be another party next Sunday and it'll be held at Carrie's place. Looking forward to this.
This ends my post for this day. 'Till the next post.
