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.
Love the pictures, Maylene... Hahaha... Never been to Pangasinan before or any place besides Las Piñas... I love the part where you saw some jellyfish... One time, we went to a beach also and we saw a jellyfish, what we did was kill it by placing and burying it in the sand... =))
ReplyDeleteYour right!!! Childhood can be painful at the same time fun... (<^_^>)
i agree with both of you that childhood can be painful and fun; creating an impact on the individual's personality and perspective in life. i almost didn't recognize you from your pictures, maylene, hehe. but looking at the eyes of the leftmost girl in red i could tell she was you. =)i also miss playing with my cousins when i was still young. we barely even talk now. i guess that's because we're all busy with the process of shaping ourselves as we enter adulthood. thank you for the wonderful sharing, maylene. i hope you get another opportunity to spend time with your cousins. from what you've said, i could tell that they'll also be excited about the reunion=) take care and God bless! =)
ReplyDeleteSi Maylene talaga oh.. hm, alam na. Bench model? :)) haha joke lang! Well, the pictures are so CUTE! Just by looking at them, the entire blog appeared very entertaining for me. :D I hope that you'll get another memorable reunion too with your cousins, May. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Maylene! Your pictures are so cute. :D Like you, I really miss my cousins. I miss playing with them and doing things for enjoyment. I surely wish those times could be repeated and we could all enjoy it once more. But yeah, past is past. Well, I loved what you shared in your blog. I hope you'll have another reunion with them and be able to enjoy their company again.
ReplyDeleteI could visualize their faces smiling and very proud of what you've now accomplished. Continue doing your best and continue being blessed. God bless.. :)
