A Blast from the Past!

I have lots of memories about my childhood. Some of them are good while some of them are not. But the ones that are worth keeping are those that made us who we are right now. Failures may also be a part of what you have been from the start up to the end. We all learn from them. Being a child, I think, is the most wonderful thing that will be a part of your precious memories.

Sometime in 2003, it was summer vacation and our family planned to spend it with our relatives. Of course, we planned it with the family whom we are very close to. We went to Pangasinan with my cousins from my father side and also with our grandmother. The trip lasted for about 5 hours. We slept at the car and when we got to the destination, we all can't sleep (except for our father who drove the car and stayed awake for 5 hours) because of excitement. Me, my siblings, and my cousins planned to stay in a room where there are no adults so that we can experience playing with our cousins just by ourselves (no adults).

We saw a lot of beautiful places at Pangasinan. It is known for their landmark "Hundered Island" and it makes Pangasinan a place where tourist can have their vacations. The beach was so nice but the only thing disturbing about the beach are the icky jellyfishes that will sting you when you come close to them. But, we must not let a little creature destroy our planned fun vacation. We only stayed at Pangasinan for 3 days. By the time when we were about to leave, we all felt really sad because we will miss the things about it that made us happy. That was the only family vacation that we had when I was still in grade svhool. But then when I reached high school, our family vacations are now based on abroad. Being at abroad is a lot fun but nothing can beat the fun that I experienced at Pangasinan with my siblings and cousins.

This experience was a special one because we really became closer with our cousins that started from that planned vacation. That was the time that we really all bonded and had fun playing with our dearest cousins. If I were give a chance to share it to others, I would post pictures that we took and share to them the nice things about Pangasinan. To a particular person, I would disclose it to my cousins so that we can reminisce all the fun things that we had there and laugh at the moments where we  had sleepless nights. Reminiscing a childhood experience is a nice way to make you more productive in the future.
