Raquel and Friends in Potipot

"Brigs" are my barkada in NCO (2006-2007), and though we work for different companies now, we have remained even greater friends through the years. Last year lang nabuo ang tawag na "Brigs" at dahil 'yan sa isang matinding inside joke at laugh trip tungkol sa brigada siyete. We had to see each other this summer dahil huli kaming nagkita ay October last year pa. We left Manila via Victory Liner the midnight of April 22 (Sunday) to head to Potipot in Candelaria, Zambales.

 Potipot was beyond my expectations.

tulog ako ng nagaganap ito

Hindi ata ako tumagal ng lampas 30 minutes sa tubig nung Sunday. But on Monday morning I thought the still water was so inviting I had to swim. Sabi ni Je-anne, sa palagay niya matinding sikat ng araw lang naman ang kalaban ko, dahil kahit beach lover siya hindi niya mati-tripang mag-swimming mag-isa.

My morning swim. I wrote a name on the sand but edited it in Paint

I did not know my tummy can appear like this in photos! Oo, ako na ang mayabang dahil 'yan lang ang meron akong wala sila. Minsan inalipusta ako ni Elga sa scrabble. Sabi ko swimming na lang kami, hindi na umalma. Haha. So yes, I say "push" to posting these pics bago man lang ako ma-CS or magka-stretchmarks. One day I might (and I want to) give birth to a child.

 I only had goto when they all had 'silogs. Ganun talaga pag may minemaintain. =P

At dahil ako daw ang may pinakamaraming picture sa camera ni Elga, dapat daw ang title ng album eh "Raquel in Potipot". Ginatungan ko na lang ng "with friends" para di masabing pikon. Tinotoo nga ni Elga.

The bus left Zambales 11am (Monday) at ginawa ko ang lahat para 'wag ako malate sa office ng 9pm. Successful naman sana, may 1 hour pa ngang allowance. Kaso dahil itinulog ko ang lunch break ko, naoversleep naman ako dahil pagod, kaya late pa din. Hay buhay. 

Sulit trip! Buo ang summer ko!
