I almost gave up on this trip. I didn't realise that I had horrible diarrhea that day. Let's just say that I stood up and stopped the bus to do number 2 on the side of the highway. If that's not bad enough, I had to do it again after 5 minutes of finishing then again after another 5 minutes. I will never pretend to have food poisoning just to skip work again.
My family expected Luke and I to arrive lunch time. JR informed me that they are actually planning to cook for us. Thank God they didn't as we arrived a little after 3PM and went straight to Isdaan in Tarlac. I've seen the photos, I've seen the reviews and I wanted to go myself and check out the place. I wasn't disappointed. It reminded me of my trip in the floating market in Thailand. I was very much relaxed and had an enjoyable meal. I hope they had a nice time too.
We arrived at Nueva Ecija at 9PM. It was late. We expected the oldies to be in bed but they weren't. I told Luke jokingly that he had to do the filo rights of passage - chopping woods, fetching water, the works. I just love seeing his reactions to anything stupid that I say. Oh life's little pleasure(at the expense of Luke). :P I expected Nomeng to be talkative but she weren't. She said she was speechless. Granny on the other hand asked all the basic questions. When I say basic I mean, "what's your name?", "how old are you?", "where are you from?" - I am not even kidding. It was funny. Luke's visit had her worked up. Humukay talaga ng Ingles si Lola. I was making fun of her but she told me that at least she is trying. She asked Luke if he can speak tagalog. He said, a little. He said Oo, Hindi, Bakla. We all laughed when he said it. Can't remember teaching him that. LOL!!! We were knackered when we got in Manila. I went to work the next day.
Group Photo. We had to ask Ate to take this.
This is how much Luke loves me. :P
Meet the Lolas.
