vernonia???

walang kamatayang thesis na naman...

hehehe...

july 6, 2007
it started... it started when i realized, everyone in our group (except dianne) was being treated as if we were grade schoolers by our parents... history: gracy wasn't supposed to come and sleep at our place... so the original plan was ms peled would be our only guest... until miguel and lynyrd decided to stay at our house, para siguro iwas hassle din... so we told jessa na siya na lang ang di magsstay sa amin... eventually she decided to stay too, leaving gracy to be the only one to be picked up... but by 1pm, gracy's freakishly protective parents finally gave in... yahhoooo.... so 7:30 na (thanks to doc quilala, napakalate na ng start namin), Dianne and i waited for gray at jollibee... di naman matagal pero 9pm na kami nakarating sa amin... then 10 mins later,lynyrd texted that he decided not to go... by this time i had a terrible headache due to excessive intraocular pressure due to excessive fear of swiss mice... by 11:30, jessa arrived with her whole family (literally, when matching nephews pa)... then by 12:15 am, miguel arrived with his parents... so, may mas ggrade school pa ba sa mga kagroup ko???

so there was laughter until i don't know when... note: the time we agreed on leaving was 5am



july 7, 2008
we were alive and kicking by... 10 am...hahaha... butttt... we woke up at 4 am... ok maybe i did... then gracy did then dianne, the oh-so-slow-bather finally finished dressing up... miguel and jessa, well wash and go lang sila... parang fast food... for the first few minutes of the trip, we were still energetic until we reached north edsa... lahat kami bangag na causing us to catch some zzz's at nlex... but for some reason when one wakes up, everyone wakes up.... by the time we were in san fernando, nagkukulitan na ulit kami... at ang kawawa ay si dianne... haha...

so we were spotting at vernonia's the entire way until we reached balanga, and managed to grab our first batch which amounted to two and a half sacks... then we travelled all the way to pillar--- to find like half a sack of vernonia... feeling desperate,we travelled back to san fernando were we kind of spotted on a bunch of vernonia's there... but when we reached balanga, we found a new batch again... turned out that it was the same location as the first batch, so we spent another hour and a half there being farmers... then we rested at a place dianne named "UST" -- under the sampaloc tree...

after fifteen minutes we lazily went back to work for another 5 minutes and decided to call it a day... actually wala pa nga atang 5 minutes un e, masabi lang na napuno namin ang last sack namin, kahit talahib, pinagbubunot na namin... actually nakastare nalang halos kami ni gracy, jessa, dianne watching miguel uproot vernonia with matching talahib... by 1 pm, we were travelling back to san fernando to look for somewhere to eat... hungry, we were repeating each others sentences... ok maybe not, miguel, jessa and i were repeating DIANNE's sentences... poor dianne, napipikon na...

we agreed the first fast food chain we see is the place to eat... and the first fast food chain was in.... nlex! ta-da.... hahaha... kaya mga 2:30 na kami nakakain... sweaty, tired and haggard-looking we ate in total silence (esp dianne)... after food balik na naman sa tawanan, asaran, hulugan ng food sa mouth at walang kamatayang paguulitan ng mga sinasabi ni dianne (wow, it rhymes)... then comes the last stretch, were dianne was supposed to get down at bocaue, pero ayaw siyang pababain ni kuya so she ended up at sm north...miguel up to muñoz i think and gracy up to q ave... then the car was in total silence...

and to end this, here's the top 5 list of who "tabas"-ed the most!
1. kuya kim
2. miguel
tie in 3 -- gracy, jessa and i
