Great! I'm now inside the car. My tito's family and I are going to Mall of Asia; probably to have some time to relax and have fun. We'll be met by my other tita there with her family also. It's gonna be exciting.

Well, first stop - for my cousins, Tom's World; kids will be kids - for me, McDonald's again. My tito wants to feed me up 'cause he's saying that I got thinner since he last saw me. I can't say no; he's tough. I hurriedly ate my lunch so that he'll be able to have some fun with his kids; which I know isn't totally gonna happen 'cause he got the flu. But still, he played. Unfortunately, we haven't seen my other tita in the mall. Somehow, there was a communication problem.

Just one terrible thing happened. My eight-year-old cousin's PSP got snatched by some hypocritic guy. We saw it on the play room's CCTV when we reported the gadget's loss. Quite smooth moves he got there. And the worst part was, the snatching happened when the culprit was right at my side. Such a pro! I really didn't noticed it. So did my innocent young cousin. Now, I'm a witness of Manila's vulnerability to danger and it served as a warning for me, now that I'm planning to take my college in the metropolitan.

Somehow, the fun was cut short. I left my cousins and my tito and tita in a bad mood. But it's fine. My experience wouldn't be complete without the 'down' part.

By almost 6:45 p.m., my tito and I left to go to the bus station. I'll have to return to Naga early. I can't miss class. We fetched our chaperon, my other tita, in Makati. And so, I bade my tito goodbye and said thank you for accommodating and making my stay wonderful.

We were the first ones on the bus so we waited for awhile. We also waited for Charm. By 9:00 p.m. we left Manila. And yes, we still have eight-hours to sleep and travel before we could totally have some rest.

We arrived in Naga at about 4:00 a.m. It was a fast trip. Not for long, Charm and I parted. Tired and sleepy, I hurriedly prepared my school things as soon as we arrived home. Everything happened like a camera flash. Next thing I knew, I was already in school, all drowsy and droopy.

epilogue:
[Our (Charm and I) stay inside the bus became fruitful as we talked about our lives - the more independent part of us. We talked about college, our job, our family and future families, present things, past, and more future things. Through our stories, we discovered new things about each other. We talked about our out-of-this-world dreams but we're positive in achieving all of them. I'm absolutely happy we had the trip together. It's one remarkable day in my life. It's one experience I'll have to cherish other than the trip to Manila. It made us closer and somehow made us better friends.]
