Australia’s Thunder Down Under

Ilang beses na sinasabi ng Mommy ko ito saken. Sabi nya funny daw ito, kase everytime na dumadaan sila naririnig nya mga tao nagtatawanan.

I asked baka naman parang Magic Mike yan, no daw. Chona backed her up na it’s funny and not bastos. So in short, na-convince ako manood.

We had VIP tickets, so bandang harapan kame.

Goodness, di ko kinaya. Bawal ang camera inside while on going ang show, but one time they allowed us to take pics and vids and we can post it daw sa SocMed, just tag and follow. Anyways, it’s not that I’m KJ or something. Pero nanay ko kasama ko. I would’ve enjoyed it better if kasama ko mga friends ko.

One guy threw his pinunit sando and it fell on my face. Hahahaha ayun, Mommy took it and for souvenir daw.

They all have this pandesals sa tummy, and ang gugwapo. Well, of course they’re Australians. Hahaha

I had fun even awkward saken manood a show like this with the mudra. Hahaha

After the show, hinayaan ko muna sila ni Raul maglaro, and I went to the Casino’s lounge for a drink and smoke. Hahaha

One small glass of frozen margarita costs $11. Syet diba. Buti na lang masarap. Kung tumambay lang ako with Mommy and Raul, $1 lang for sure. But since I want to smoke, lumayo ako sa kanila. And I had 2 glasses.

I met this Officer later on. Kinausap nya ako bigla. His name is Richard, he’s from New York. Ok naman ang chikahan namin. Until I saw Mommy and Raul at the bar na rin, pero di sila lumapit, nanonood lang din sila nung band. Haay. So Richard and I bid goodbye na. He’ll look for his friend pa raw na may nakilala na. We exchanged numbers din.

Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque Du Soleil

I am not a fan of MJ. Oo, may ilan songs sya na gusto ko, but not a fan. Wala nga akong MJ songs sa playlists ko.

Pero nung pinakita saken ng BIL ko yun isang vid ng show, na-excite ako. Gusto ko sya bigla mapanood.

Buti naka-plano si Mommy na panoorin namin.

Pagdating ko pa lang ng Vegas, naka-calendar na kay Mommy kelan kame manonood. Pinayagan pa nya ako na maghanap ng ibang kasama if I want to, and pwede pa nya kame bigyan one night sa Excalibur. Kaso, san naman ako hahanap ng kasama. Syempre kaming dalawa ang nanood.

Raul dropped us off at the Mandalay Bay and diretso na kame ni Mommy sa MJ ONE Theatre. Diretso sa seats namin, and waited for the show to start. Bawal ang cameras/camera phones while on going yung show. Kaya before and after lang ako nakapag pic. And outside the theatre.

Show was awesome! Got goosebumps, and super amazed ako, ang galing. Alam mo yon, parang buhay pa rin si MJ. They really did a good job.

I want to see this show again pag bumalik ako ng Las Vegas.

SSSS

Nope, it’s not Social Security number guys.

This 4 capital S you see on your boarding pass is the S you dont want to see when traveling.

Last year, day before our flight to the US, I couldnt check in online. But when I tried to check in daddy, it went through naman. Hmm medyo natakot ako kase ang natatandaan ko lang parang something about security that I need to check in at the airport na.

Well, buti maaga aga kame nagpunta sa airport.

Nag-check in ako pagpasok pa lang sa kiosk. And a Delta employee helped us printe our boarding passes. I didnt notice pa this SSSS.

Went pass thru the Immigration and another x-ray where you need to remove your shoes, watches, belt, coins anything na tutunog.

Until we reached our gate. Don lang ako sinabihan ng isang Delta staff na I need to be screened. And dont worry she says coz one time lang daw ito. So I went inside this cubicle and she asked me to show my hands, nakaharap sa taas and nakaharap sa baba, she also asked me to lift my shirt, hanggang bandang bra lang naman. They were nice naman. And that’s it. I asked if lumabas ba ako ng gate, do I need to do it again, no daw. Buti  naman din. And wala naman na ulet ganon when we arrived and left Narita, and Atlanta.

Wala ako alam about this until yesterday. When my friend posted his boarding pass on facebook and binilugan nya yang SSSS and with a caption “Randomized”. Nagka bulb light agad ako and naalala ko yung saken. I remember staff saying na ramdomized screening lang daw.

I googled it. Hassle much pala yon for others. Like bubuksan pa yun bag mo, and kung ano ano atang interview and all. It’s a good thing super dali lang nung saken.

So I checked my boarding pass, voila. There’s SSSS under my name.

Japanese Dinner

Nag-deliver si Derick kahapon sa First Gen, so di sya nakapag-lunch dahil inaabangan na yun item. Pagbalik nya office, gutom daw sya. Syempre nagbibiruan ng ayaan. Birong, pwede maging seryoso. Hahaha

Kaya tinanong ko san sila kakain ni Alei. Hindi pa raw alam. After nila mag-text text, sabi nya “Japanese daw”, aba game ako. Paborito ko kaya. Kung saan, later na raw.

So umuwi muna sya, then before 9pm, nag-message na sya na mag Little Tokyo daw kame, ok naman saken coz marami choices.

Dinaanan ko sila, and diretso na kame.

Sa Izakaya Kikufuji kame pumasok. Hmm mukhang mahal, pero ok lang. Ang dami choices, pero dahil matagal na ako nagke-crave sa katsu, I ordered Hire Katsu (P245). And nakakita kase ako ng Sushi menu nag pwede per piece. Ewan ko naman kung baket hindi ko napansin, na sushi pala yon, nakita ko lang basta kase na Ebi (P65/piece), so ang thinking ko Ebi Tempura. Tinanong ko pa sila Derick and Alei kung gusto nila, puro sila na ok lang, so sabi ko sabihin na nila para alam ko ilang kunin ko. Putcha pagdating, sushi nga, akala ko pa nung una, order nila. Yon pala, yon yung order ko. Tawa kame ng tawa kase akala nila gusto ko talaga yung hilaw na hipon. Oh well, kinda ok naman.

Pagdating ng Katsu ko, ano ba yon, ang panget ng itsura. Para sa ganong restaurant, expect mo na maganda naman kahit papano pagkakaluto.

Then yun food ni Derick, duda namin nakalimutan, ang tagal eh. Tapos sa kanya pa yung may miso soup, sarap.

Busog naman kame. Alei ordered Yakisoba (P190), Derick ordered Chicken Teriyaki Don (P265), then nag yakitori (kung yon nga ba talaga tawag, Aspara Bacon P60, Enoki Bacon P60) sila, tuna sashimi (Maguro P250) na ang itim na at ang lalaki ng cut, california maki (P220/6pcs), coke in can P70 and extra rice P65.

Oh one more thing, di pala smile ang mga servers nila 😦

I think, I’d still go to Yabu or the like for a Katsu, and Dad’s (Saisaki) for a good and unlimited tempura.

My Samgyupsal Experience

Been hearing about this, been seeing this kung san san. Even si Derick paborito nya, kaya nung nag-aya sila and sabi nila mag Korean kame, kahit wala akong alam sa mga Korean food, I said ok.

So we went in Cafe Chosun in Malate. Tinanong nila ako kung mag-unli daw ba ako kase if not, di ako pwede sumama sa table nila. Sige!

No idea ano in-order nung mag-asawa, basta sila nag-decide. Hahaha

Naaliw ako, pero ang-messy kainin. Hahaha But I loved the steamed egg. They also have miso soup, tapos iba ibang meat. Beef and Pork.

Busog din ako, nag-rice kase ako eh. Hehehe

Third in 2018: La Union

IG Lovies goes to La Union!

We’ve been talking about going out of town for months. And this trip, mga 2 days lang na-plano hahahaha

Kahit hindi maganda ang panahon, itinuloy namin. Baka naman kase maging ok din. Hahaha

Willing si Lovely to drive, basta di sya magdadala ng car. Willing naman ako mag-dala ng car, basta may ka-relyebo mag-drive, or di ako ang mag-drive. Perfect diba! Hihihi

Kaya June 9, at 2ish am I left home and fetched Domz sa Makati. Met up Lovely and Mike sa Pioneer. I drove muna. Waaah Edsa!!! Hahaha nagpalit na kame ni Lovely, I think sa Lakeshore. From there, sya na nag-drive hanggang La Union. Haha ang kapal ng mukha ko. La naman reklamo si Baby Girl, and mukhang nag-enjoy naman sya. Ang bilis nya in fairness, and di naman nakakatakot. Ang laugh trip ng road trip namin. Bawal matulog kaya parati namin tinutukso si Mike.

We arrived LU parang past 10. Ni-park na lang muna namin si Reid,
sinilip namin yun room then lumabas muna kame to eat at mag-antay ng oras para mag-check in. Medyo mainit, pero walang araw. Kumain kame don sa may kanto lang, I forgot the name eh. Hahaha ordered this Bacsilog, I asked na malasado ang egg and crispy ang bacon, ayun kabaliktaran ng request ko. Hihihi and sana, pag nag-serve sila, punasan muna yun kawali. Hihihi

Then, mga 12ish pwede na kame maglagay ng gamit sa room. Tapos lumabas kame para picture picture sana, and to meet Herb. Haay the weather.

 

Pagbalik sa room namin, slight rest, shower and changed na. Decided to go to Flotsam and Jetsam and yun don sa mural place. Peste inulan kame. And kakaloka, sa lahat ng lugar, nagkita kame ng bebe Jem ko. Hahaha magpe-paint sana sila ng mural eh.  Nakilala daw nya yun watch ko, ewan ko at alam nya ako na yon. Hihihihi Ayun, since umulan di kame makapag-pic sa murals, nag-Flotsam na kame. Kaso, 4pm pa raw pwede mag-order ng food. Waaah pero buti na lang din, few mins na lang eh 4pm na. Kaya hintay na lang kame don.

At nakakainis coz ang lakas ng ulan. 😦

4pm came, weee. Ordered pizza, tapos nag-ice cream si Baby girl, nag-one bot na rin kame ni Domz.

After finishing our pizza, and humina na ang ulan, bumalik na lang kame sa bahay. But nag-bbq muna kame sa isang isawan na nadaanan namin. Hihihi and sinimulan na ang JD. Waah ganon pala lasa non, ketapang. Hahaha

Mga 6, nag-decide na kame lumabas ulet and puntahan si bebe. And yey, katabi lang pala ng store ni bebe yun Tali Ti Amianan, yun gusto ko pagbilihan ng bracelet. I bought one bracelet for me, and I thought baka magustuhan ni Stef din yung bracelet, kaya I got him one also.

Processed with VSCO with p5 preset

In fair, sarap ng food! Ubos din namin agad. Hahaha then nag-inom kame sa katapat, District Pub. We had at least 3 or 4 pitchers of different drinks. Left na rin later on, coz gusto namin bumalik sa Flotsam.

But when we got there, wow ang daming tao. We didnt stay long. Nag-beer lang si Domz and we left na. Bought water and ice cream at 7-Eleven. Tinuloy namin yun JD sa room, and called it a night.

Naulan pa rin pag-gising namin. So wala na chance magpunta pa sa beach. Lumabas na lang kame for breakfast. Went back agad, nag-ready na para umuwi, and dumaan lang ulet kame sa may Flotsam para mag-pic sa murals.

Si Baby Girl pa rin ang nag-drive, nahiya ako kaso takot naman ako mag-drive. Hehehe

Thank you lovies for a fun weekend. Hindi man tayo nakapag-surf or nakapag beach, nag-enjoy ako sa makulit nating kaguluhan.

2nd in 2018: Olongapo

Whew, patapos na summer pero ngayon pa lang ako nakapag out of town 😀

Months na napag-uusapan ng mga Angels mag-beach, and finally last April, nabuo na ang plano.

Went to Olongapo, stayed at Mangrove Resort Hotel. Nice naman sya, kinda pricey for the place, pero may K kung baket ganon ang presyo nila. Booked four rooms, 2 family rooms for 2 families (Lagula’s and Capacete’s) and kaming mga single. Hiwalay ng room sila Bong/Ezi, and Jhen and family.

Eh yung ang laki ng room namin, 2 king size beds, may veranda, flat screen tv, super liit fridge (na di makapagpalamig hahaha), toilet and bath, a/c, toiletries and snacks.

View from our room

Kasama ko sa room sila Roch and Yoyce, yung 2 families ang nagsama rin sa room, we are located at the second floor, nasa 3rd sila, with pool access!!! Ang saya!

Anyway, I only had 1 hour sleep. Shocks. And ako lang driver, in fairness kinaya ko naman. Kitaan was McDo Centris, don na rin kame nag-breakfast. Then Lakeshore na next stop/kitaan.

Breakfast

Anyway, after Lakeshore dire-diretso na kame, stopped one time lang to pee at SCTEX na. Eh nag-enjoy din ako pag-drive sa SCTEX, nag 120km/hour lang naman ako. Hahaha I told them bawal matulog kase kailangan ko ng kausap at bawal din ako antukin.

Arrived Subic around 11. Diretso kame ng Meat Plus Cafe. Ordered Burger Steak Combo (with soup and drink). Ang laki sa picture. Pagdating sa table nung order ko, sunog and its dry. Ampaet 😦

Burger Steak (P280)

We also had dirty ice cream outside the restaurant.

Avocado and Cheese flavors (P25)

After ice cream, went to Mangrove na. Nakapag early check in naman kame, and yun nga, mga natuwa sa rooms namin.

Later on, nagsipagbihis na kame at nagkita kita na lang sa pool. Ordered mango shake too, minsan parang kailangan talaga ang fruit shake eh. hahaha

After shower, nagkaron ng make up session sa singles room. 😉 And decided to just have dinner at the resort na lang, wag na lumabas then buy drinks at 7 Eleven.

Naghati kame tatlo nila Roch and Yoyce sa dinner, hmm tuyo ang grilled porkchop but wala ako reklamo coz I only ate yun taba and buto parts, then yun chicken adobo, puro patatas and lasang lasa ang laurel. No-no for me the dinner, but napasarap lang lalo kase Tin shared their pinakbet with us, then konting sabaw from Lagula’s. Solved nako.

After dinner, bought drinks na nga at 7 Eleven, bought Tanduay Ice, San Mig Light, Red Horse, and Soju ata yun binili nila Ezi. Takot na takot kame itago mga pinamili namin, tapos pagdating sa resort, wala yun bantay hahaha

Sa room namin kame nag-inom kase kame lang may veranda. Sila Mei, Tin and Jhen, mga mommy duties kaya di namin nakasama uminom.

Borlogs around 1am.

Woke up ng 7ish, nasa resto na raw sila Tin nag-breakfast, sabi ko sama nako sa pagbaba ni Roch kase gusto ko na mag-coffee. Pagbaba, ayun nag-order na kame food. Bumawi!!! Ang sarap ng breakfast. I ordered French toast with bacon and eggs. Tapos antay ako ng antay ng coffee, di ko pala na-order. Kainis.

French Toast (P185)

Bihis after breakfast, nag-pool ulet kame. Konting pictures, and nag-ready na for check out.
