Smells Like Mothballs: trip with the titas

I went to tagaytay today with my titas... At first I was reluctant to join them, but since I was dead-bored in the house, I told myself, Hell YEAH! I hav’ta go! a few quality time with the gurangs (a term i collectively call them) won't be that bad. Well I didn’t regret it either. The trip was fun, the weather up there was cool, cool enough to calm me up and forget all the stressful city-related drudgeries.

After stopping by at Josephine’s which, by the way is such a cool restaurant, we did our own little pictorials outside. My tita’s, namely tita edith, tita claire, tita nats, tita lits and my mother… came frolicking in the garden and did a lot of funny poses for the cam. When we were in the van, they reminisced and talked about their early days living in Quiapo, (their hometown) being quite impoverished back then. They recalled the way they poop every time their common bath’s toilet clogs up, (nung mga dalaga pa sila) What they did was they do their no.2 on newspapers, wrap it with plastic and throw it on the roof next door. HAHAHA! Laughtrip sila kanina! and imagine the shrilling voices they had while laughing!! all of a sudden I thought I was the most mature one on-board.

Anyway our main purpose is to purchase fresh fruits and plants. And so we did. The van was filled with different kinds of plants and fruits, it was a jungle inside, and it smelled really awful too. Probably because of the langka, the cape barako and the vinegar aromas combined.

By the way, my mother agreed to let me rip her pants, just like my torn jeans, since I said it was the “in-thing” kuno. She was so “bagets” kanina! Hahaha!
