volunteers take a break

Remember in my previous post how I mentioned something about having been a PPCRV volunteer for the May 14 elections? All the hard work paid off after all! Our parish priest treated the volunteers from the parish to an outing to Subic last June 9! Woohoo!!

Sen suggested that I tag Rands along. She brought her baby Andrew too. Our first stop… Extreme Adventure! We were so excited to try the Slide for Life, but we had to wait for our turn because the harnesses and helmets were good for 20 people at a time only. I’m not really afraid of heights, so I didn’t feel dizzy or anything. The first slide was ok, the second was like my insides flipped!, and the third was the longest! It was fun! The trek back up was hot though.


With our shirts and hair drenched in sweat (eewww!), we got back in the bus to go to our next destination --- All Hands Beach! We had a greeeeeeat lunch (courtesy of Tess), and of course we had to take pictures of the view before getting ourselves wet. At around 3pm, merienda was again available…it was the life! Rands and I were together while the sun was setting, talking about future stuff. (mushy ba? hehe)

We left the beach at past 7pm and reached home 12 midnight. It was nice getting together with fellow volunteers from the parish, but what I enjoyed more was the company and concern of people who really mean a lot to me and whom I care for. Thanks Father Mon, for a wonderful (all expenses paid) time! (I was assigned the 6am mass the following day, Sunday, and he was also the priest presider!)
