Yesterday night...

Mom: Hey Shirley, do you want to go out tomorrow?
Me: Yeah sure, why not?
Mom: Mountain or beach, you choose.
Me: How bout the beach? Haven't been there in a while.
Mom: The beach? That's a little far, let's just go to the mountains.
Me: Sure whatever (why dyu ask me when you're going to make the decision yourself anyway?)

So this morning we went out to have some brunch in a remote restaurant in the mountains. It was very serene and I enjoyed the ambience very much. One thing the Philippines can take pride in is its greenery. Too bad the food tasted like shit. Putting that aside it was an enjoyable morning with my family and I just having fun and relaxing. After brunch I asked my family if we'd be doing anything after. They said no. So on the drive back with my stomach full I happily dozed off thinking I'd wake up by the time we'd reach the house.

mm?
What is this?
Why am I hearing a conversation about Filipino actors and their houses in a beach resort?
Why do I smell salt in the air?
Why do I hear waves?

*I wake up*
Me: *my eyes closed* Mom? We're not where I think we are, are we?
Dad: Well we were already half way there so we decided to go the beach as well. I even brought my trunks *laughs*
Me: ..We're at the beach?

My parents are very free spirited people and sometimes I envy their youth.

Huh. So I guess I'm at the beach at the moment. This is a very surreal feeling. I sleep in the car expecting to be home and I wake up at the beach.

I DIDN'T EVEN BRING MY BATHING SUIT AND SUNBLOCK LOTION AND SKETCHBOOK. I just feel a little dissappointed. But then there I was looking at the ocean and everything felt better. It was beautiful. And nothing seemed to matter anymore. mmm Life is beautiful.
