Never Too Old For A Sleepover

It's one of them moments when my best friends and i would have a million of brilliant ideas and end up, well, choosing whatever is most convenient.  What can i say, we are Ilocanos and we won't be known to be kuripot for no reason.

"Let's go to Pagudpud.. overnight!" - Dune

"Yeah, let's do it.. TONIGHT!" - Joem

"Sige, sige!" - Lito

"Uhm, lits, you cannot absent on the first day of your new job." - Mel

"Yeah, let's go!" - Don

"Uhm, don, you have a lot of things to do." - Lyndy

"OK." - Arnel

"OK." - Tricia

Typical.  Arnel and i can always find ways to do what we want to do. We are certified pro-fun. :)

Our friends, on the other hand, have businesses that are too taxing to leave, and jobs that are too crucial to postpone.   We narrowed down the choices from Pagudpud (too windy this month), to Currimao (hotel suite rates are still at their peak), then to Plaza del Norte (hotel rates are not worth it), and lastly, to Dune's house.  So, there.  We decided to spend and travel less, and just go somewhere we can all chill without the additional expenses.  Ilocanos, indeed!

So Joem and i went shopping for chips, meats for grilling, and breakfast food.  Dune handled the beer, and Lyndy the green mangoes.  Arnel and i traveled around 30 mins by motorbike to Dingras on convoy with Jom and Dune who drove a car.  Lyndy and Donald followed a few hours after.

It felt like high school all over again!  We grilled chicken teriyaki and pork barbecue by the rooftop of Dune's 3-storey house; thanks to the amazing cooking skills of my love.  The boys played billiards by the game room while the girls stayed out under the starry night for random chismis and ice-cold San Mig Light.  When everyone was done with cleaning up, we all went down to the 2nd floor where our room was at; the 6 of us stayed inside one big room.  We watched Butterfly Effect 3 on widescreen while eating Double Dutch ice cream.  The boys brought more beer inside the room.  We were like kids who were partying while our parents were on vacation.  Priceless moment.

The following day, the boys prepared breakfast.  I liked the view outside the house - mountains, rice and corn fields, a quiet neighborhood.  In Dingras, the air is at its freshest state.  Absolutely no pollution!  What a great morning. :)

good morning, Dingras!

It was one experience that proves that we, in our late 20's and the boys in their 30's are never too old for sleepovers! :)
