The best summer ever!

Having the mind set of experiencing the most of this summer had brought so much of pressure to me, it was because of the idea that this summer could be the last summer I could spend with my friends. But I set that idea aside and tried to be optimistic in a way. I really hope it is not the last, cause actually, it's my first summer with them.

Last Friday, May 1 (Yes, a holiday), we went to Canibad in Samal Island for a bonding and a sort of an outing. It was really fun at first, as we rode on the bus, on the boat, and finally on the motorcycle, in short, the first half of the ride was great. Until, I was burnt by the exhaust pipe of that sh*** motorcycle we're riding which ruined my experience. But I never let it turn my day out.

My first hours there was a lil bit rude, maybe because of the burn I got. I was the first one who went to the beach and bathe there. A sign that I am excited, so excited. 

It was getting dark when we started to chat about life, we were all talking about the funny experiences the whole year round. Then we created a bonfire by late night, it was so good to know that in the island we were the only group who successfully created fire. And as the fire heats our body after the night swimming, they also started to enjoy some liquors, that was an exemption though. I was getting  myself out from drinking because I know my condition, but some of them is trying to convince me and even tabooed me for that. So I was challenged to drink and drink and drink, and later I was drunk. And the rest of the story was history, it was a secret.

The next morning, we woke up early and the rest who never got the chance to sleep at night fell into a deep sleep. As usual, I was the one who went swimming first and the rest followed. When the rest woke up, we went to the other side of the island for some adventure trip, and guess what? I jumped from a high rock towards the deep sea, it was an advantage that I knew how to swim. That was really one of the most memorable experiences there. It was a daredevil-like deed that I've done.

We went home by Saturday night, and Sunday was a day for rest.

The next day, Monday, I got a trip to Montserrat in Sigaboy, somewhere in Davao Oriental. My cousin just invited me to come with her as she visits her relatives in the other side of the family. It was an almost five-hour-trip from Davao.The traveling experience was a total haven for me, I am loving it. I stayed there for about four and a half day, and it was a good experience, I learned and got to try a lot of things there, like grinding coconut, eating some first-time foods, and the word "Arot" which is really funny. So funny.

My summer was complete because of those things. And it could be more complete by what I'll be experiencing tomorrow, my high school classmates invited me for an outing.

Life is indeed full of surprises. It is magical.
