Fun Night

            It’s been a while since the last time I joined my classmates in Environmental Science. If I am not mistaken, it is almost a year when I’d finish all my academic requirements. Since then, I haven’t seen them in person though we have regular communication on the phone or email. That is why when they texted me that they are planning to have an overnight swimming party, I never hesitated to join. I really missed their company. And this is my chance see them again after sometime.

         As we plan, we never allowed our excitement concedes the idea of not inviting others to join in our simple reunion. We texted them as we decides on the venue and the possible contribution on our little get together. Thereafter, we decided to go to Los Baños, Laguna to rent a private hot spring pool.  We chose this location because of its accessibility since all of us are from Cavite. Plus, it is also familiar to some of my classmates aside from the recommendation of our professor-Dr. Blesshe.

             

              

          Before we went to our venue, we first dropped by on Dr. Blesshe’s home where she delightfully welcomed us. We rested for a while, ate our snack then headed for a short walk. I learned so many different things as she toured us on her properties. She also enlightened us on different floral species on her lot which she personally tended and cultivated. I was so amaze on how she made it despite of her hectic schedule. 

          When we fully satisfy our curiosity, we then proceeded to the venue after buying some stuff at the local grocery store. When we are on our way, honestly, I am anticipating that it might not be as good as the other resort that I had been. But aye, this is far better than them. The resort itself is enticing, aside from other amenities. It has its own living room, full functional kitchen and very clean and fully air-conditioned rooms. And best of all, it is located in a secluded subdivision.

            What I do also like aside from the pool is that you could sing non-stop and be a diva of your own, because, it has its own videoke machine which is also included in the package.

            But personally, I would say that those are just an added attraction. It cannot beat a good food and a good company. Dr. Blesshe is still gracious as ever. Plus the fact that she never runs out of ideas and advises to share. Also, very supportive and understanding professors just like my mom. 

            If we talk about food, well Jean is the best. For sure your stomach will be filled with delicious foods. Her expertise for local and foreign recipes is undeniably good. Mikee and Joseph are my eating buddies. They loved to eat food as much as I do. But guess what, I am still the thinnest. For Jhen, Mylene and Aileen, well they are the three beautiful and kind Marias. They are always there to help in any ways.

            I really had a fun night. We swam for the rest of the evening until we all feel tired. We reminisce the time we first met and how our friendship has evolved. How we share our blessings. How comfort each other especially when we feel down and low. How we laugh out loud even in a simplest joke and how we never run out of stories to share. Thus, I am looking forward for a new reunion. And another moment that surely been treasured forever.
