1. It was RAINING when we tried to set up camp. It sucks.
2. I was one step close to going back home barefooted. My havaianas got stuck deep in mud. Teyla, Shannon and I tried to wash our muddy feet in lake water but ended up going back MUDDIER. It took about 20 minutes to get my feet off the mud. I had to help the twins get out too. I forgot lake mud could swallow you like quick sand. :(
3. While we were stuck in lake mud, The twins broke an umbrella that didn't even belong to us. (The wind was too strong!)
4. The lower part of my tummy ACHED. I had to stay in the tent while the others went banana-boating. After a while, my mom had to find the nearest clinic to help ease my pain. Whew. Love you mom. I woke up about 7pm. They were having dinner already. Stupid tummy ache. I missed the banana-boating part. :(
5. Mom told me to use an umbrella so I could pour off the rain water that puddled on our temporary roof. (Alam niyo yung mga plastic na ewan na ginagamit na roof sa mga booths sa perya) There. When I poked that puddle-d part of the roof, The water splashed on a guy I don't even know who. He ended up SOAKING wet. My other companions laughed at me saying, "Kawawa naman! Pinaliguan mo ng sobrang lamig na tubig." gulp. Mom's fault! I said sorry anyway.
6. (This is too personal to talk about.)

Before they went banana-boating, We played UNO inside our tent.

That night, the grown-ups set up a bonfire! We played charades and hip-hip-hurray. (wowowee) Hahaha! That was fun!


The next day, I was able to get a good picture of Caliraya Lake.


Ugggh. I wish that day would NEVER happen again! Well, the next day (that would be today), it finally stopped raining. Dad finally allowed me to go banana-boating! WOHOO! We swam around the lake first. (the lake floor felt like stepping on carabao poo. Ew.) We were told that we weren't allowed to go if we didn't wear life vests so, we wore them. There! Now we went for a loooong ride! It was SOOO FUN! My badluck experience finally paid off. First, my uncle pulled the B.B. using his speed boat. He asked us, "May hulog o walang hulog?". Of course, "MAY HULOG!!!". We were screaming then eventually fell on the water. =)) We all fell at the same time. HAHA. We fell like, 7 times! We were batch number 1. Batch number 2 was kat(my sister), Kyle, Josef and Rusell. They fell 10 times! One reason they fell was because the speed boat ran out of gas. Haha! They were left stranded in the middle of the lake. Rusell swam back to camp. I couldn't believe he was able to swim that long! He told me it only took him ROTC to be able to swim back there. We jumped off the speed boat and I tried swimming back to camp but my legs got tired. I ended up riding the banana boat again. =p


I could say that I don't regret going to Caliraya Lake. It was a beautiful scenery. If it wasn't for my 6 badlucks, it would've been part of my MOST UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES. Anyway, let me tell you, I finished part of my SAPA! :D I found it, nice...for a beginner. :) I used powerpoint. :| I'm still trying to familiarize myself with Windows Movie Maker. Could someone teach me how?
