okay now that im less hyper and loopy about that guy.. i'll tell you more about the homecoming than him okay?? not that i can stop myself. hes just so darn cute=)

so it was my granddad's 50th Homecoming, meaning he's a Golden Jubilarian. Which is soooo awesome.

so when we arrived in Baguio, the whole hotel was filled with PMAers (graduates from Philippine Millitary Academy). the elite, the cream of the millitary...

it was really cold in Baguio,cuz it was the City Of Pines. Or maybe cuz it was on a mountain, but yeah. Most of it is practically untouched by humans... au naturale.

So on Friday, it was the official beginning of the Homecoming. Most batches had their class dinner that night. so did my granddad's. this was kind of my "first sight" with that guy. *sigh*

it was done in one of the houses and the food was great. We went home at around 10.30pm along with everyone else cause there was the parade the next day. NOONE wanted to be LATE!

the next morning, we made our way to the PMA campus.. It was beautiful. Most of the recruits were practising for the parade while the alumni were gathering in the field. After the parade, we made our way to this hall place, for the Golden Jubilee Lunch. but GRR. the idiot Silver Jubilarians didnt let the food arrive on time. Nakaka awa nga yung mga lolo at lola. Old, tired and HUNGRY and there was NO food.

well, we called our bus and every1 got on. There was a ttraffic jam so i got to stay with that dude longer. but yeah, it was okay i guess. my ipod kept me company. i soooo regret not talking to him. cuz his friend was asleep, and he was bored, and so was i. awwww *sniff*

okay so later that night, we had the formal dinner thingy. we all sat at these round tables. so formal... we had a buffet dinner. the food was great. The PMAers and their wives all said something at the podium, and then they sang to each other. Then we had the dancing time. Tito Adjo danced with everyone! haha. it was cool.

After dancing, we had to take pictures. All the graduates and their wives took their places. After about 10minutes of clicking, they asked 3rd Gen to join. Cuz if they asked 2nd Gen, who would take the pictures? lol. anyway, after another 5minutes of clicking with 3rd Gen, we passed the cameras to the waiters and such so we could all be together. lalalala.

after that, we did some administrative stuff, like the bus plans.. And then we hung out there for a while, waiting for our grandparents to finish their chat. AGAIN, i didnt talk to the lonely boy. NOW I HATE MYSELF FOR IT.

well, that would have been the last time i saw him, but that night, i hoped and i prayed and everything. Well, i was glad i saw him the next day.

the next day, the bus left at 9am, so i didnt get to see the Adalem family. I did see his family though. We were having this awesome buffet breakfast with my family. I kept looking to see if he had left.

Finally, when it was time to take our final pictures, i saw him leading his mom to the courtyard/pond to where we were. And he just walked past, turned around, walked past again. coolness. i hope he heard me telling my ninang my email. i hope so. i think he heard it. i hope he did. gahhhhh.

so that was the last sight. only a day's difference from first, to last. well, the trip overall was fun.

then when we got back to manila, i went for a haircut at South Salon, then went shopping at SM. again. i was soo attached to philippines by then that i dreaded coming back to singapore. I was already speaking tagalog in almost every sentence to everyone i met. How was i supposed to come back to singapore (chinese colony) and not feel weird... anyway, i'm hoping the principal will allow me to go back next year as well.. i just hope i can go back. it IS special in its own right. besides, there might not be much reunions left, seeing as the celebrants are quite old by now... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

hope to see him soon... <3
