We waited for Steph for 2 hours. She brought along his cousin Franz and we left Manila at 5:30… pm. So you could imagine what time we would get to the old American naval base. There were 6 of us in the car; Me, Bonx, Don Don, Steph, Franz and Manong. The trip wasn’t as tedious as I thought. We joked around and shared some horror stories with each other.

There was this story by Steph about how those dogs who cross your car’s path at night we really mischievous spirits of the earth (I couldn’t translate engkato in English, I could call them enchanted beings but that would sound gay). Then out of nowhere this dog started to run across the road and it was dark and all so we all started to scream. Ok. I am scared easily but I don’t scream like a sissy girl but Don Don here screamed so I just followed them to make things fun. The problem was that Franz was German and he couldn’t understand why the hell we were shouting so we looked like a bunch of idiots shouting at a dog crossing the road.

We finally got to Subic and time was really fast. When we got to the house we were surprised because we had no neighbors to speak off and the houses were all empty. What ran through my mind was that my other friends were fooling around so we dared to enter the house. We went up and Steph was using me as a shield( I never thought that she was the kind to be a scardey cat). Don Don then shouts with a bit of apprehension

 ” Tignan niyo meron ditong malaking lumilipad.”

“Ulol” I said
“Meron nga”

“Sige titignan ko”

I went up the stairs thinking that my friend here was playing with us but when I looked up at the roof there was this big bird flying. It looked like a mutated Maya as big as a bat. I could only shout, “ Tangina meron nga” And we all ran down. To cut the story short we were hell afraid but we got our courage back and explored the lower part of the house. The inside was dim and we were really afraid in looking inside but as common sense dictates my friends were really playing with us.

They did a “ooh tago tayo tactic” but we were tired and all and weren’t that affected. J and her boyfriend Ralph, Jen, Sasa, E.J and Ronald all greeted our eyes. They were happy that we finally arrived and soon festivities were going to start. The inuman session was really long, extending into 4:00 am. Jen and Franz got 0.0 for falling Inuman101. But I was resilient and was able to be awake until 6:00 am. Yeah! And I didn’t get any hangover and amatz, I think I am resilient against alcohol. During that night we just drank, shared a few stories, sang in the top of our lungs and had a great time.

There were many monkeys in Subic and a whole gang of them greeted us in the morning after. Talk about Animal Planet what those mad chimps did was to fuck right in front of us while we were eating breakfast. What if people were like that just do it whenever and wherever… hahaha

It was a fun trip and would like to do that again. Heads up to all of them for that great vacation, and a much needed one since the week before was the mother off all stresses and I think of this as a reward for surviving through the last school year in DLSU.
