"I am this morning electric ."
The day we've all waited has come . Studying at Science High School for almost 3 years, this was the first time that we had a proper and official field-trip . Imagine, my batch-mates and I haven't experienced trips since our first year of high school . That's why this year's field-trip is very special to us . That day is a day to remember .
I woke up past 3:00 in the morning . I woke up in another room, my classmate's room . Pretty cool, I'd say, to have a sleep over on the day before your field-trip . It kinda levels-up the fun and excitement . So it was Thursday when I slept at Frann's house, and it was Friday when it was our trip . A perfect date for our field-trip . You know why? Well it was exactly on November 11, 2011 . Some say that that day would be full of good and bad omens, I'd say it was jam-packed with good ones .
Setting aside the date thingy, I enjoyed my short stay at Frann's house . I wouldn't blabber out much more about that, but instead I'll share about the trip .
5:00 in the morning, everyone's already getting ready . Students chatting, some are arriving, everyone was busy and excited .At about 5:30, I think, everyone filled the buses . I do not know how many buses were there, but there were a lot . Our section, together with III-Oxygen, rode at bus 7 . I don't know what time we departed . And who needs to know the time when they're having fun anyway .
As we moved, our bus tour-guide introduced himself . His name was Jimmy . On the way he discussed some things, rules, and some fun facts about the places we're passing by and the venues we'd go to .
Our first stop was at the Nido Discovery Science Center . I was distracted by the thought that we are already in MOA . So the venue wasn't so bad, although I did not enjoy the place that much . I've been to that place when I was in the 6th grade, and the frustrating part is that there was no improvement . What I mean is that, it has been 2 years already and yet nothing new was added . Some parts were even removed, or worse, dilapidated . But it was just the first venue, so I stopped thinking nega thoughts .
What I enjoyed there? It was the space dome . We watched about the solar system, giant space clusters, super novas, galaxies, and other dimensions even bigger than what we could have ever imagined . The film/documentary was very nice . I felt like I was a part of the infinity of the outer space .
After that place, we took our lunch inside our bus . At that time, the only thing that runs in my mind is that, "Our section is really a family". I don't know why, I just thought of it . We shared our packed-lunches with each other. Frann's mom prepared snacks for me actually, but I've decided to just take a few then gave the rest to Ave Joe . He doesn't have lunch lol .
We stayed inside the bus for almost an hour . That was the most dead-time part of the field-trip . Oh, I almost forgot, I actually took a nap while we were waiting for departure . Rexson was a comfy, comfy pillow . =)
Next stop; Myth of The Human Body . This was at Taguig? I forgot . This place gave me the chills actually . When I first heard of it, I thought that it was all statues of the body organs, which are made of wax . I was wrong . The place actually displayed real and dead human figures, organs, etc . It was very interesting, really . I learned new facts about our bodies, and what they really looked like from the inside .
And by the way, there was an inside joke about the restaurant inside the exhibit's building . They said that no one buys food in there because once they've entered the exhibit, they'd lose their appetites, lol . Bye Taguig, hello Kulturang Pinoy .
Uhm, by the time we were going to Kulturang Pinoy, all I thought about was going to MOA . Anyway, I enjoyed the welcoming program they prepared for the students . That was a wild and sweaty activity . Everyone, okay not everyone, but most of the students, danced and shouted . I did not because I'm awkward like that . But I did enjoy being there .
Inside the blue room, (I forgot what they call it) some Juniors and Sophies were selected to perform some folk dances . I thought it'd be lame, but it wasn't . The video editing that they did made the dancing more awesome-looking . And and and, that was the first time that I saw my adviser, and my former-adviser, stomp to the beat and groove . I was surprised by the energy that they were exerting . I can tell that they really enjoyed it, I swear . They were great .
Finally, the venue I've waited for, SM Mall of Asia .
Once we were dropped by our bus, I felt the excitement inside of me . I suddenly forgot how tired I actually was . Naturally, I'm to be seen with Joanna, nothing new . We went to Time Zone . I do not know how long we've been there playing . I guess time really stops when you're with the person you love . looool .
I've said a while ago that I gave my lunch to my classmate, so by the time we were already strolling at MOA, I felt the desire for food, hunger . It took some time for Jam and I to find a resto or chain to buy chows . We've been inside and outside the mall looking for game . Most of the eating places were full, so we ended up eating shawarma at the food court .
As we were strolling, we passed by a Bear Cuddler shop . We entered the store because she wants to, and also because I have a plan . We looked at the bears on display, and then I asked her which among the bears look nice . She did not answer me properly though, hahaha . So when I've decided on which bear to buy, I bought it and I told her that the bear was for my mom . We left the store .
Nothing much happened afterwards . We took a stroll around the mall, chatting, window shopping, looking at other people and guessing about what their relationships are . Okay that was weird, but yes, we did look at couples and guessed if they are married or not . Mutual weirdness .
The rest of the night was fun . While waiting for the buses to fetch the students, we sat outside . To maximize the use of the remaining time together, we had a talk . As we stare at the night sky, side by side, we actually changed the time to moments . I really enjoyed being with her . Best friends never fail to enjoy when they're together .
It was a rainy trip on the way home, and everyone's exhausted . How about me? Of course I am too, but I didn't mind, 'cause on the way home I kept on holding to everything that happened on that day, and treasuring them as a lovely memory . And I'll keep that day, a daydream away .
