...No? Not the time?
*Awkward Silence Ensues*
...Tough crowd...
Sorry if it seems short and rushed. I'll make it up for you in the next post where I dyed my hair and almost chemically damaged my ear in the process! Alright, Let's get on with the post!

Not the Right Shark, but Close Enough |

The plane ride was pretty cool. I mean, it was only an hour long, but it was still awesome to say the least. This marked my third plane ride of the trip. I especially loved it when we took off. I didn't care about the ear popping. I was only focused on the scenery below me. It all looked magnificent to me.
The rest of the time I spent watching the scenery, nibbling on the snack the airplane staff provided, or reading about Thresher Sharks in Malapascua. That's a place in the island of Visayas in the Philippines. After a while we heard the intercom turn on. It was time to land.

Oh How True This Was |

When we arrived in Camarines Sur in the Bicol Region, all I thought was this.
It. Was. Hot.
I mean, hotter then I thought it would be. Manila wasn't that bad. I could handle heat like that, but when I went to Naga...owie. I felt the sunburn forming already, and I've never had a sunburn in my life!
We had to stand in the atrocious heat for a few minutes. I was like a fish out of water! Blurgh. After waiting, our ride arrive. It was a really cool white van that could be considered suspicious in the U.S. ...Nah. It was my aunt's car. It was really stuffy in there since we had several giant bags and almost ten people in one car that fits only seven people! Technically, there were only 5 seats left because of the bags occupying the two back seats so...goodness help me I want to jump out of this car.
We didn't even where seat belts! I was like this, "I. Can't. Breath."
Don't even get me started on the traffic there. Although, it wasn't as bad as it was in Manila. *shivers* It was still pretty terrifying. My aunt calls it "defensive driving".

Can't Help But to Add This |

After a long, long drive, we finally arrived at our destination. My grandparent's house.
It was a very...emotional reunion to say the least. I haven't seen them in quite a while. This was the first time I've seen them in...years. I mean, how do you react to this. I was practically speechless. I didn't know how to feel...but I winged it. In the end, it turned out okay. :)
The second highlight of our day was...the cats! In their house, they have these cute cats, and two of them conceived and gave birth! There were three kittens in total. There was a white fur ball, a chubby patchy, and a skinny black cat. They were really adorable, but I couldn't help but worry about them. :( They were sick with something. The white fur ball, whose name was Snowball, was better then the rest, but it had a lot of crust around its eyes. The little chubby patch was also healthy, but it looked a little bloated. The black kitten though...that's the one I was most worried about. It was super skinny. You can practically see its bones through its skin. Not to mention that it was also, unfortunately, blind in both eyes.
To distract myself from this, my family and I ate lunch. It was one of the best lunches I've ever had. It might sound cliche and cheesy, but it tasted really delicious because it was packed with love.
Let's not forget that we had cake for lunch. It was carrot cake, and it was the best carrot cake I've ever had. My mouth was practically watering!
The rest went by with a blur, but I do remember talking about dyeing our hairs on that day. Unfortunately, my aunt didn't feel so well, so we decided to go the next day. I was actually glad we didn't go that day. My jet lag (CURSE YOU JET LAG!) was acting up again.
We got this whole room in the house to ourselves. I rather liked it. It felt...welcoming. As I was getting ready for bed I thought of all the events that happened the last few days. I realized, at that time, that I was emotionally exhausted. By then, my brain kicked in and told me to sleep.
I fell asleep to Winter, another cat, softly scratching our door.
