We were supposed to go swimming this weekend. Well, the original plan was to go to Canyon Cove in Nasugbu but it didn’t push through because my nephew had an entrance exam yesterday and nobody could stay behind and wait for him. So, my cousin planned on going to Subic instead. it also didn’t push through because my other cousin had an event to attend to so they all couldn’t come. So, my cousin just decided we go to Laguna. A family friend offered we stay at their house with their pool.

So, the plan was one car will leave earlier and the other (my sister, the kids, and I) will stay behind to wait for my nephew. What happened was the first car left just an hour ahead of us. But we got stuck in traffic so we were able to reached the house in Laguna at about 3 p.m. already. When we got there, my cousin told us that they didn’t want to stay there because there were too many dogs and there were too many breakables inside the house. It’s just not kid-friendly. So, we just ate the food they prepared for us and then decided to just look for a house with a pool that’s for rent in Laguna.

If you’ve been in Pansol already, then you know that you have to be patient n looking for a place to stay. There are literally thousands of places to choose from and you have to really look around to find something something nice and cheap. After the third house that we checked, my cousin decided we just go home because it was already late and the kids wouldn’t be able to swim anymore. Anlabo! I mean, the kids could still swim the next day, right? And it was already 5 p.m. and it was really raining hard. We reached home about 9 p.m. already.

My sister and I were disappointed. It was like we just went to Laguna to eat then went back home again. It was such a hassle. Good thing my mom didn’t prepare much food or else, all her effort would have been for nothing. And the poor kids kept asking when they were going swimming. Hay buhay.
