i tried
i tried to sleep about 20 minutes ago, but to no avail... i'm not tired at all. this totally blows. anyway, to supplement j's lovely highlights of our trip, i'm gonna give my go at it, too:
looking for my blue bag to go through security at LAX that was actually still in the car; the first day of our arrival that felt like it had last 62 hours long; almost having to stay at the apartelle; eating at the worst, most horrible restaurant god ever invented the first night in boracay; Grade A imitation Gucci sunglasses; when clyde screamed and made me jump in the air because we thought a leaf was a rat; mango shakes; the worst road trip ever from caticlan to iloilo; traffic cops making the traffic worse; express lanes; "you'll be ell in" on CD; watching andy do spaghetti, spaghetti and j doing otcho otcho at julena's jollibee birthday party; subwoopers; riding in vans that had roofs like coffins; people peaking into your van; riding on horses that just went in circles; going to taal - the "lord of the flies" island where we thought we would be robbed and killed; trying to pay for lunch at Josephine Restaurant and Betchie's dad giving me my credit card back and saying "SORRY!"; julena saying "YESSS!" when neneng started pouring coke into her cup; being scared shitless when the guys were firing off the fireworks for new year's eve; the wonderful question from people that are totally unrecognizable "do you remember me??!!?"; julena trying to put money in people's toes; getting the facial that made me cry; my uncle trying to be julena's friend by giving her candy, but it was actually cough drops; my auntie thinking andy was 50 years old because she thought he looked old in pictures; getting sick in iloilo and being mortified that i'd have to go to the hospital; chicken feet in adobo; "my humps" playing EVERYWHERE we went and uncle toming singing it; bless her heart - ronald's cousin tasting the raw ground beef for the lumpia she made; j constantly eating chili on our flight there; the sticker of the woman making the "shhhhhh" motion on every corner; seeing all the shims your heart desires; red hotdogs; chicken pandesal and ensymada served at starbucks; the song - "ma'aaaaaam pesssoooooooo"; not turning of the engine to get gas; not understanding ANYTHING during the taping of wowowee; "can i order this?" - no sir, we don't have that tonight - "what about this?" - no, we don't have that either - "okay, tell me what you do have."; old school apple pies at mcdonald's; andy not being able to show his face until the price of things had been negotiated; ordering a fish with a side of one hundred flies; the aftermath that lasts till this day from the guys going to sabong...
i can't really think of anymore. and besides, i really need to go to sleep. i doubt i will, but at least i need to seriously think about what to do with myself because being up this late and not being tired at all is RIDICULOUS.
