I had it on my planner. Saturday, June 21st, Swimming in Batangas with Ate Girl and the kids 
Since Tuesday, I had been waiting for the weekend to come. I even made a big deal about it when Mhark told me he's not coming along. I can't let anything spoil that plan.
We will go to Batangas and would enjoy the day!!!
I haven't watched much tv these past few days so I had no idea that a storm was going to hit Batangas (signal number 3) by weekend. Duh!
Friday night, I couldn't sleep. I experienced a urinary discomfort and a classic case of dispepsia. Grrr! Seems to me that every thing on earth has a plan to spoil my weekend getaway plan! I slept at 3am. I needed to wake up before 6am.
Even with barely three hours of sleep, I managed to wake up early. I called up my Ate GIrl in panic mode because it was raining so hard. I wanted that getaway so badly!!!
It was a good thing that my Ate decided to wait for us before they head for Batangas. So, the earlier plan of leaving at 7am was moved to 9am.
Then we started our journey amidst the rain, traffic and the fog in Tagaytay. But we managed to arrive safe in Nasugbu after more than two hours of risky SUV ride.(Special thanks to AL) Finally!
When we reached Nasugbu, it finally stopped raining and the sun came up. Wow! We get to enjoy the brown beach and the strong waves along the shore.
It was Vanessa's first sight of a beach and first experience of the sea. At first, she was very scared. Then, she labeled the seawater as "maanghang", "malasa" and then, "lasang adobo". Hahaha! The sea was scarier because of the angry Batangueno waves hitting us with so much strength. Good thing Mhark thought of a way for Vanessa to feel that she's more powerful than the waves. She may slap or kick them. "Pinalo ko sila!" she gleefully announced.
When we invited her to the pool, she refused. She liked the sea better. But we have somehow convinced her to go to the pool area where she tried the slide midway. She was so scared. I know. I felt her heart thumping while I was setting her on the slide. She slid to the water and that was the last time she did it. She refused for a second try even with reassurance that we would not let her have a bad fall.
All of us remembered childhood as we played with the angry waves. We screamed our lungs out. My sister and I would hug each other when a big angry wave comes to sweep us off. Oh, how I miss hugging my sister! Thanks to the waves, we hugged a lot in a day.
We rented a volleyball and played some in the beach. I just remembered why I wouldn't join volleyball games even way back. It hurt my arms with every serving I make.
The food and drinks were flooding. Goldilock's Ube Cake, pork chop roasts, pancit guisado, chicken-pork adobo, unlimited rice, sweet kakanin, fruits, chips, sodas and even beer.. We still had a lot of food on our way back to the Metro.
It rained again as we headed back home. But we've had enough of the sun. We enjoyed the five-hour clear skies... This is one stormy Saturday to remember. A good send off for my sister who's going back to Daly City on Tuesday.
