It Has to be Now; My Review of the ATM Mentality Applied to Summer Heat-Beat Experience

As I have expected, summer of this year will be fond memorable. Not only because of the activities which we held to close the school year in the academe but also because of the simple joys that sociability has endorsed to us.

Outdoor activities such as window shopping in festival galleries and bathing in several resorts here in the province towered among the most fun filled memories that I would like to share in this summer chronicle.


The last week of April proved to be the culmination of the entire month brought by the ever sweet visit of friends from Manila who made it a treat to experience the province and my company. Actually, it is my family’s company now which they hold dear. This provincial trip is divided into two parts; Summer Festival Week Part and Summer Festival Week Part 2.

First to make a visit was Alex and his brother, Aaron. First day they spent with us was a Sunday. We made a visit first to my Dad’s grave and then we proceeded to Vien’s residence where they met for the first time Tito Ven and Tita Azon including Kuya Gil and Kim. Also present were Kristine, Vien’s friend from the office and Jazel, Kuya Gil’s friend.

Afternoon of that Sunday we just had lunch at home and immediately went to Real Resort to swim and bond. There Alex met Isaac and acquaint with each other. The bonding on water was made hotter not by the sun but by the sharing of wild wine. After bathing in the river we went back home only to watch the street parade as the closing of Ana Kalang Festival. We went back to Vien’s residence for the TV broadcast of the Presidential Town Hall Debate. We also had our dinner in that house. Before finally retiring home for that long Sunday, we watched the battle of the bands at the municipal gym. As I try to recall all that happened that Sunday which is Dan Carlo’s birthday, I can only say that it was an enormously vivacious Sunday.
Monday we went to Bunga Falls for another swimming bonding. We ate our lunch and then took advantage of the water until it was 4pm. At 5pm we were home and 6pm Alex and Ron went back to Manila bringing with them the happiness that Laguna augmented in their summer lives.


Summer Festival Week Part 2 started morning of April 28. Aizee and Ron travelled back home from Manila to celebrate Ron’s 29th birthday with his family. Aizee and I were really fortunate because we made use of the celebration to meet each other. It was like a ten year long separation because catching up almost meant like a lifetime. Aizee next to Dan Carlo is the most important male person in my life. His friendship I consider as brotherhood. We went home late that night and found out that he was a little bit sick.


Friday morning is like a lazy morning. Both Aizee and I cannot even get up from bed even in our most desire to be at the river as early as possible. We wanted it to be in Bunga Falls but the travel would take us to long including the preparations we would need and the vehicle we also have to pay. We were waiting for Ron to come but it took him until 3pm to be there and the rain also destructed our plans for the day. However, the birthday celebration continued when Ron decided to bring us in Cake Frost and ordered Pansit Meal. That same evening, Jay-r joined us in drinking and chatting. It was a night to remember. It was a memorable intimate boys’ night theme.


Since Ron stayed with us throughout the night, we had a better morning bonding on bed. It cannot be without laughter. We had our breakfast and then made plans to swim at Real Resort. We were the only persons to take a swim bonding there so we took advantage of the running water fully for ourselves alone. Coby was with us. It was a nice treat actually as Ron looked after Coby and stayed at the cottage. On the other end, Aizee and I really had fun with the water. After we went up to the land, rain fell down so we were really thankful that we were already home during the rain. We had our lunch and then moved to Liliw for the street dance.

In Liliw, we had our regular cable watching and high internet connectivity enabled us to have chats with other friends. Thus we were invited to be present in a catching up dinner in Maybel and NiƱo’s residence. So after our recreation time in Liliw we went straight home to fix ourselves and get ready for the event. It was nice that Aizee was introduced to the people who were all parts of my high school life.



That's just how we do it in April. Fun and Fin.
