First Day of My Weekend
March 12, 2006Hello world! Wut is up with y’all?
Or more so..wut is up with me??? LoL!
Well, it’s been quite a day. I started off as early as 7 am…I went to the Phil. Eagle Center for a school activity. I really wanted to join because it has been a long time since I’ve last been to Phil. Eagle in Malagos and I thought maybe it would be fun to you know…hop in and have fun. Consider it a 5-hour weekend get away.
It was great, the experience. I got the chance to get away for a while, meet some new peeps, and devour the serenity offered by mother nature. It’s just so peaceful out there. It’s about an hour away from the city proper…no polution, no noisy vehicles…it’s just nature at its best. And oh, the sun wasn’t that burning, too and the air was cool. I loved the experience! It brings out the nature-lover in me.

Sometimes, you just need to get away from the city for awhile just so you could find real relaxation. I find real relaxation in nature..in the quite..away from deviously congenial creations of mankind found in the city.
Many things have changed since my last visit there. I mean, hellooo I was only like…what…1st yr.. 2nd yr high school the last time so that isn’t surprising.
There’s not much to do in the Phil. Eagle Center, really. The place isn’t really that big so it doesn’t take much time for you to actually roam the whole area.
One thing I particularly wanted to do was to have a picture of me taken while I’m holding a snake. Hehe! You see, I’m veeeery afraid of snakes…at least until that time when I saw an episode of this TV show which showed some family in Manila that actually had snakes in their households not just as pets..but as supposed members of their family, as well! I mean…I’m talking snakes roaming around the whole house…freely…as in all around the house. In the living room or even in the bedroom! Whew! They said snakes won’t hurt you if only you wouldn’t hurt them.
So I held on to that thought..and I actually thought that doing so would make me brave enough to actually get myself to hold a snake. Well…I thought wrong. The least I have done was briefly touch the snake’s skin, that’s it! Oh and I took a picture of it too…just the snake. LoL! I just couldn’t do it. But one day I will. I was just so challenged when I saw this 7-year-old girl hold this snake as if it were a rope!(First time in my life to see a child hold a snake!) I was like…wow!!! How could she be so brave?! I mean heck..she just held it..just like that..she let the reptile crawl all over her and all! Whew! (pic of the said snake found below).
Hmm..so much for the weekend nature trip.
Before the clock struck five, I was already back to the beep beeps and whoosh whoosh’s in the city. And my next stop was the cinemas(as if I wasn’t tired at all). I was tired, actually. But when you speak of catching a movie does Dacky ever back out? LoL! Not in a thousand years.
My friend and I had Fearless in our itinerary for today. I just couldn’t afford miss it…not when I’ve been meaning to watch ever since I first saw its trailer. It’s just different when you watch a movie like that on a small screen.
Fearless…what can I say..it’s such a masterpiece! Another Jet Li masterpiece! I love it as much as I did Hero. It made me realize the real meaning of triumph and how one’s feet should be kept on the ground no matter how far he has reached in life. Thoughts to ponder upon, huh?
Well, after the cinemas, home was my next destination. Gotta get my mind to work again. Got some requirements to finish and duties to perform. Mean time, I gotta get some sleep first. That way, I’d be conditioned for the next part of the weekend.
Hmmm…I think that pretty much sums up my weekend’s first day! I’m really tired but it was all worthwhile.
Gotta buzz off for now! Coz I think it’s already the first hour of the second day of the week…and the entry title seems to be inappropriate..hehe! Au revoir! God bless y’all!
