After I graduated last April 2009, I together with my family went home to Bicol. The original plan was for me to take at least a month break before going back here in the Metro to find work. Two weeks in my "break"/vacation, I was bored already with just watching TV and staying at home. High School friends are still in Naga or Manila reviewing for the Nursing Board Exam that's why I'm stuck in front of the TV. Trivia: Almost half of my HS batchmates took Nursing. My parents planned a party for me there but unfortunately due to heavy raining (three weeks of non-stop rain), I decided not to have the party because most of my friends are still reviewing.
I never got to go out unless I'm with my parents. During these weekly dinners and TV time with them that I got to bond with my parents again. Most of the time they aren't home and I'm stuck with the house help. But, it was my chance to be the "bunso" of our family again. I love how I've spent my two months getting to know my parents more and just enjoying and loving every minute being together. I've never had so much fun being with them. Probably, eleven years of not having that kind of bonding with my parents took a toll in our relationship and it was my chance to mend it. I'm super very uber happy that I made my parents happy and proud for what I've accomplished. 'twas the only gift I can gift them after fourteen years of studying, paying for my tuition, and for giving me everything.
If you're reading my blog, you'll know that I have two things I wanted to do during my stint in Bicol. First is to go to different white beaches in our province (which I wasn't able to do for some reason) and second, to register for 2010 elections which I was able to do (thanks for my dad's constant reminder that I need to register). Though I wasn't able to accomplish the first one, I was able to have a student driver's license and after four months I can get the professional driver's license. I also learned (of course) how to drive. Yeah! Thanks to my parents (for the van and fuel and food too) and Cousin Henry for teaching me how to drive. It was a nice experience. The moment I laid my hands on the steering wheel I know I was born to drive. Haha. Seriously, I love to drive fast. It keeps me awake. I also love the feeling of taking control.
I'll continue my driving lessons when I go back to Bicol this weekend.
And yes, I'll stay there for two weeks for my cousin's wedding. After that, I'm back here for the review and, hopefully, for work.
Definitely, I'll visit at least three white beaches (Cayucyucan, Pulang Daga, and Apuao Island) so that I'll have something to share with you. For the meantime, here's the pictures of Bagasbas Beach located in (my beloved province) Daet, Camarines Norte. Daet On The Go!
Loving Life.
