Last summer I went fishing with my Grandfather whom I call Lolo Daddy. It was one of the best memories with him because I never got to experience fishing in Manila. Besides I don't usually go out. I always stay at home playing with Lilo my cousin, sometimes I go bake with Mom and my aunties or I'll spend my whole day trying to build my sandcastle at the seashore.
Although my summer may look so dull but I always had this fun and unique experience that I haven't encountered last summer.
And as I am about to unfold a new chapter this summer, maybe I'll try my best to try new things. I know there's so much more to see outside our beach house.
April 16, 2013
Sa pagpikit ng aking mata at sa pagsinghap ko ng hangin ay para akong ibinabalik nito sa nakaraang taon. Tila ba'y kahit hindi ko imulat ang aking mata ay kabisa na ng aking memorya ang kung paano nagtatagpo ang ilog at dagat. Tanda ko pa ang asul na tubig at gintong buhangin at kung gaano nagbibigay ng kapayapaan ang hampas ng alon sa aking mga tenga. Nalalarawan ko din sa aking isipan ang nagtataasan at naglalakihang talampas, halos tanda ko pa sa isipan ko kung gaano kakulay berde ang mga ligaw na damo't halaman dito.
Oh how I loved the view by just picturing it on my mind...
Sa ilang segundo kong pagpikit ay hindi ko na napigilan pang imulat ang aking mata. Yes, it's still the same.
My beloved Ilocos Norte.
My ancestors from my father's side has a beach house here, it is huge, it is wide, and it is built for our annual family vacation.
The beach house is actually located in a village where it is near the beach. We are so lucky because we're at the beachfront. Most of the houses there are also beach houses mainly for vacation only but there are also a lot of rich families who live there.
And guess what? For my fifteen years of living and fifteen years of going home here, I never got to experience stepping out of our tall and huge gate.
Pero siguro naman ay papayagan na ako ni Mommy na lumabas ng mansion, since I'm not that young anymore. Tsaka pinapayagan na din naman nila sila Kuya Niall at Kuya Aster, baka pwedeng makisingit na din ako. Kung gusto pa ni Mama ay isama ko itong si Charlie para may asong nakabantay sa akin.
"Look, Aurora, there's a lot of kite flying!" turo ni Kuya Aster nang mamataan ang nagliliparang saranggola sa dalampasigan.
Argh! I missed that competition! Usually ay isinasali kaming dalawa ni Lilo sa contest na iyon, kasama pa lagi namin si Lolo Daddy sa pag-disenyo ng saranggola.
"Ayan kase you're too bagal to get up! Hindi tuloy kami nakasali ni Lilo!" I blamed Kuya Aster.
"Hoy I slept late na kaya!" singhal niya.
"Sinong hindi mapupuyat sa kakalaro ng online games!"
"Oh yeah? As if you're not busy playing dress ups on your ipad?!" the tables have turned.
"Oh stop! At least I'm the early bird!" defending myself as if I was on blame.
"Yes cuz you're excited to build your sandcastle!" he laughed so hard as if it's funny.
"And what's wrong with building sandcastle!?" I burst.
"You two stop or I'll kick your ass out of my car!" Kuya Niall butt in.
Just a normal day with my Kuyas. Kuya Aster is my number one enemy, and Kuya Niall as the middle man acting like he's Daddy.
"Aurora, you can't join the contest na. You're too old na, and also try to go out rather than building your sandcastle." anang Kuya Niall.
