Come South, Cam Sur!

Camarines Sur Wakeboarding Complex





Apparently, when she woke up last Saturday, my sister decided she wanted to go to CWC. I was on my way downstairs for breakfast and I peeked into her room. "Let's go to CWC," she mumbled. Since I didn't have anyhting planned for the weekend and since I am in dire need of a life, I told her it was a good idea.

Over lunch we tried to recruit people to go with us. The kids, of course, were ecstatic. Bro J had to go to work, though. Mom and Pop had other commitments as well. So it was just Sis, the kiddos and I who were available.

We packed some food (chocolates and water --- it was my sis who took care of this) extra shirts, wipes, sanitizer (Influenza A, begone!) cameras, shades, and whatnots. We then drove to Pili, Cam Sur! Okay, I drove and they heckled and critiqued my driving style, like they usually do.

First stop was at the SGS site, which is within the Provincial Capitol Complex and very near CWC. I gave sis a quick tour. We didn't stay long since most of the associates have gone home for the day. The site, during the day is usually boooooring.

Next, we moved on to CWC! Yay! The crowd was surprisingly sparse, which suited me just fine since I don't like large crowds anyways. Since it was already 11:30 am when we got there, we decided to order lunch.

I tried to convince sis to share with me the Laing Pizza (I've heard people rave about this and wanted to try it myself) but unfortunately, she wasn't in the mood to try something different. Instead, we decided to have the Sausage Pizza instead. Along with that, we had fries (we always order fries whenever we eat out since this is Tami's fave) and the Tantrum Chicken Fingers (breaded strips of chicken breasts served with honey-dijon mustard dip and a side dish of potato salad. Since it was a veeeeery hot day, we washed the food down with large Mango Shakes. ***I'll upload the rest of the pics soon! :-)

I have no idea why they decided to call the chicken dish "Tantrum Chicken Fingers." I sure didn't throw a tantrum when it was served. The taste wasn't really spectacular and tantrum-inducing. It wasn't bad either. It tasted like, errrr, chicken. :-p The fries were okay but the pizza was really yummy! The dough was freshly made, the sausages were juicy and firm but not rubbery. It was all good! :-)

We left a bit after lunch and after taking a gazillion pics (camwhores!). Since we couldn't decide where to go next, we decided to visit Super Lolo and Super Lola in the cemetery. It's been a while since we went there so it was just right that we stopped by for a visit. We tried to look for numbers (lottery!) but couldn't find any apart from the dates on their tombmarkers.

Sis called Uncah Jay to inform him that we were gonna go to Ateneo to pick him up. So after we left the cemetary, we drove on to the Ateneo. We went around, but left after 30 minutes since the sweltering heat became really unbearable.

 



At 4Pm, we were home. Tired, sleepy and gearing up for our next adventure.
