You’ve heard it right. My Dad, who currently works in Singapore for over a year now, came on a surprise visit on Good Friday. It was 7:30 am and my mom’s cellphone is ringing on the tune of “Umbrella”. Then, I answered the phone and was shocked to hear his words, “Baba ka rito!” So I came down and was really shocked to see a fresh Dad on the living room. Quickly, I hugged him so hard like as if I haven’t showed my hugs and kisses for a century. He told me that he departed Singapore at 12 am and arrived in Manila at around 4 am. So from Lola’s house we went home and the day went on. The day was a bit boring but he showed me a lot of stuff. He gave me an orange dragon which I named Jakey (see the post where I posted two pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal..hehe) and showed me his laptop in Windows Vista form. Pretty cool format, BTW.
Black Saturday and Easter Sunday might be the best weekend of 2008 so far. On Saturday, we went to Robinsons Ermita and guess what? My dad was planning to buy me either an iPod Touch or a PSP! I wanted a Touch, but since my parents think that having a PSP is way better, my Dad chose me to buy that gadget…the next day. Plus, I finally have a new book which I am still reading until now. It’s How to Be Popular by Meg Cabot and I love the story so far! On Easter Sunday, I and my parents went to church together for the first time in 2 years and directly went back to Robinsons after the Mass. And the triumph of Easter Sunday came: I finally got my pink PSP! Here are the pics:
MY PSP (in pink)!
Cute little dragon, Jakey!
Pic with Jakey…aww.
Tuesday: the three of us went to SM San Lazaro to buy new supplies. The supplies will be used for the renovation of our house. If before the house is plain only in color white, now it is mixed with orange, yellow, yellow green, and white. Seriously, I really like the new house better. And for two consecutive nights now, I slept straight because the weather was cold. The visit was the first time I and Mom tasted KFC’s newest dish, the KFC Famous Bowl. I loved the dish overall with the exception of the sweet corn. Wednesday, I and Mom went to Tutuban while Dad visited a friend. Thursday and Friday were the most boring days ever. No activity, Mom was at work. The next weekend pulled things up and I enjoyed the last two days of Dad’s vacation here. His sister’s family from Cavite paid us an overnight visit! With my camera, I took pictures of my two adorable cousins Abby and Reese. I’ll share some of the pics that I took:
I and my cousin Abby…

That night it looked like I have grown up to 10 pounds. Eating 5 pizzas in one serving and a lot of Pepsi soda really did make my stomach bloat up to 1.5 inches. And on Sunday, a week after the anniversary of my GS graduation (1st, it was March 23), our family had our last lunch together with Dad before going to the NAIA airport. Dad’s flight was at 7:40 pm, so we have to get there early. And I brought my camera there so I could capture the best memories. So here they are:
After sending Dad off to the airport, I was so sad because the vacation seemed so fast. But the good news is that I and Mom will be going to Singapore for a vacation anytime this May! So keep the vacation days counting!
I might want to cross my fingers. I’ll be getting my report card this Friday! Let’s hope it turns out all well. :)
