guamazing holy week

i had such an amazing time this recent holy week in guam with my extended family! (ahia benson, achie gene, achi susan, achie vian, sol, mark, kyle)

wed:
we boarded flight pr110 bound for guam wed night. grabe ang strict pala nila pag Us-bound. after the 1st inspection after immigration, may another inspection nanaman before going to the gate! while waiting at the airport, there was an announcement that the flight is facing deinial in boarding because it was overbooked! WTF?!!?!? kala ko cebu pac lang yun! pati pala PAL! nakailang announce din sila like 5 times offering people the same flight but on friday instead, and 3,000pesos or free hotel accommodation. parang kami "kung $3,000 yan kukunin namin!" anyway, medyo nalate ng onti sa boarding, at nakalipad din. ang sarap ng feeling na may unan, kumot, and food sa plane wahahah! (palibhasa cheap flights kasi kinukuha ko lagi ahaah!) ung food pa ang dessert namin ice cream! yummy!

thur:
after almost 4 hours, we arrived in guam airport at around 4am (2am here in the phils). the van of pacific island club with a filipino driver picked us up. we checked in and called it a night. i woke up the next day at around 9am and took a bath. since my roomies were still sleeping (and because im so excited to check out the resort), i decided to look around and take pictures :D the resort is so nice! there are so many things to do! and they have a lot of pools! i passed by their trampoline place and saw a kid playing. e nainggit ako, so naglaro din ako hahah! sa simula nakakatakot pero after a while masaya na siya!!! then balik nako ng room.

after ready na lahat, bumaba na kami to swim. first time ko natry ang waterslide! laugh trip kasi after ko magslide pagbagsak ko sa water padyak ako ng padyak hoping na lumutang ako. tapos bigla ko naapakan ung floor ng pool. 4 feet nga lang pala yung pool hahaha! at nakalimutan ko na wala pala akong lifevest! kaya pala d ako lumulutang kahit pumapadyak ako waahahahha!!!

after that d na muna ako ulit nagslide. once is enough hahah! nagkayak din kami sa may lagoon ng resort saya!

then we had lunch at the rock and roll cafe of the resort. we ordered 2 whole pizzas, 1 fish and chips, 1 clubhouse, 1 burger. grabe ang laki pala ng servings! as in pinilit namin ubusin! lesson of the day: don't order too much! btw, pinoy dn ang mga servers ng restau

after lunch nagswim ata ulit kami, then went outside to go shopping! 1st stop is the Duty Free Galleria. langya sabi nila walang tax sa guam, e yun pala naka-tuck in na yung tax sa presyo ng mga bilihin! kaya pala ang mahal! tapos puro high end shops pa yung nasa DFS, so wala rin ako nabili.

we had dinner at mcdo since the kids were already hungry from waiting. i had the crispy chicken club, which is a crispy chicken burger with bacon, cheese, and mayo in wheat bread. ang sarap!!! nakikain din ako ng fries (na large as in large talaga!!!), and darigold milk chocolate drink. ang drinks sa mcdo dun parang sa BK, refillable!

after dinner lakad patapat sa kabilang mall, outrigger. shopping ulit sandali, then punta na kami K Mart! ang saya sa K Mart ang daming chocolates!!! dami ko nabili na wala dito sa pinas!!! inabot din ata kami ng past 12 before kami umuwi. yung taxi pa na sinakyan namin pinoy dn ang nagmamaneho. sabi nya puro pinoy nga talaga sa guam

fri:
woke up early so that we can maximize the activities the resort has to offer. hobie cat sailing at 930am, snorkeling at 10am, and windsurfing lessons at 11am. sikat ako sa class namin! all my classmates managed to do the standing position in 1 try, samantalang ako nalaglag pa at may 2nd attempt pa! pano ba naman no, yung pagbuhat palang ng sail ang hirap na! ang bigat nya!!!! pero it was super fun!!! when it was time to hit the beach to windsurf on our own, di talaga ako successful dahil fickle ang wind, lalakas, hihina, galing sa likod, galing sa harap, kaya umupo nalang ako a board hahaha!

then while waiting for the others, nagpicture taking muna kami sa isang pool na may mga props na animals. laugh trip si sol nadulas dun sa hippo!

we then has lunch at the restau sa tapat ng resort, jamaican grill. we had salad, steak, ribs, chicken, rice, and ice cream.

sarap ng food nila!! at ang laki nung family size nila!

after lunch we hurried back to PIC since we had archery lessons by 3pm. ang hrap pala! nung una short ang mga tira ko, kulang pala ako sa pull. nung huli medyo ok na. nakatama ako ng color red!!! woohoo!! after that dapat magchallenge park pa kami, kaso mas gs2 na ng mga tao umalis para magshop wahahahah

this time naman sa micronesia mall kami nagpunta. dito may nabili na me, pero puro food parin hahaha! altho may nabili me isang purse at plates and bowls, pero the rest food na. then dinner at denny's. sarap ng fish nila saka fried chicken! after dinner uwi na muna to rest since napagod talaga kami dat day! aba pagpalit ko ng damit ang hapdi na ng shoulders ko! sunog tlga huhuhuh! nung una akala ko kakabuhat ng bag kaya sumakit, yun pala sunburn :( kaya di rin ako makatulog ng side view dahil masakit :(

sat:

we woke up early to go to the flea market. puro pinoy ang mga nagbebenta, at parang puro 168 products and bnebenta hahah! wala ka tlgang mabili dun, mas naenjoy ko pa ang pagpicture sa ibat ibang subjects duon. altho nakabili me spam less than 100pesos hahah

then we went back to the resort. we rented a van since it would be cheaper than riding a cab (flag down is $2+, ang bilis pa ng patak ng metro). 1st stop is the two lovers' point. ang ganda ng place! may namit pa kami dun na marines at isa dun pinoy! yung egoy kapal muks eh! ung isa may itsura green eyes! sabi nila lahat daw cla parang incentive 2 wks sa guam! (kala ko ba economic crisis na sa amerika!?!??!!?)

anyway after nun lunch muna kami sa King's. ok ung fried rice nila masarap, ung iba so so lng. after nun pnta kami ng chamorro village. bmli me ng guam chocolate ang sarap! pero ang mahal! then pinuntahan namin ung statue of liberty na pinahirapan kaming hanapin! at pagdating namin dun, aba ang liit lang pala! langya yan o! nevertheless, maganda naman ang view ng dagat, at nagjump shots kami!

then punta na kami ng Guam Premier Outlet! this is my moment! we went to Ross Dress for Less. nakakalokah!!!! ang daming damit!!!! at mura pa!!! gosh nahilo ako pero super fun! cgro 3 batches kami ng fitting (8 pcs at a time lang kasi). nakabili me ng 1 nine west bag, 4 summer dresses, 2 formall dress, at 1 pang-office. ang saya saya!

ang saya sa guam, mainly because we stayed in PIC. nakakalokah nga lang weather dun, ang lakas ng hangin kahit maaraw, tapos biglang uulan for a few minutes, then biglang taas nanaman ng araw. but it was fun :D sayang nga lang under maintenance ung submarine, kundi kumpleto na sana guam experience ko
