Bataan Day in May

This Memorial Day weekend was spent on the beach, the place is Morong Bataan. It was a team building of sorts for a newly disbanded team and I was yet again the 'saling pusa'.

The beach was ok and the water was great, not so salty nor deep and THE WAVES! Almost drowned on just 3 ft deep water. At the time I was fearing for my life but looking back I'm mostly embarrassed and amused. Imagine going under because of this particularly strong wave and rolling under the water like a ball thrice and here comes another wave keeping you down for another roll even before you could recover from the first. Before this I was a mere spectator watching everything...had my eyes open all the while but finally the fear set in and I realized that I was probably drowning. That was when I decided to fight the current and get my self upright pronto. I was quite embarrassed when I stood up that the water was just up to my knees and quickly looked around if other people saw me. Fortunately, the others suffered from the same predicament and had no time to watch me lose my dignity.
That was fun! I wish I could say that let's do that again but...no thanks!

And, unfortunately, my digicam batteries ran out fast and I only got 8 pics to show for that trip, I didn't even get a shot of the beach. GD! Oh well, I'll just get a copy from the others...

not just another birthday afterall...sigh

The 30th

*shivers*

Am on leave right now. I wish I was going on a real vacation but it's gotta be work work work. The roof is finally going to get fixed and the whole thing will be replaced. It's going to start as soon as we move out. This house won't be fit to leave in once the construction starts. Night shift people and day time banging does not mix.

We're supposed to go to the DFA to renew passports but still has of yet to locate said passport. I've misplaced the darn thing and am running out of places to look. Last place I saw it was in a brown envelope and all I need is to find that...but no such luck till now.

This going to be one hellish birthday weekend. And I haven't even started on that!
