Our trip to Laoag
We're close to moving (again) the event to Ilocos because effing Trillanes made a commotion at the Manila Pen last Thursday, there were stuff due on that day for our Ilocos. Salamat nalang nandyan si Sir CJ at natuloy kami sa Ilocos. Labshu Sir CJ! *^_^*
So ayun, sort of bonding kami ni CJ, Janrey and Mang Herms through out the trip. Binaba namin si Sir CJ sa may San Fernando, Pampanga to meet with the Sales Team kasi sa Baguio ang punta for the Smart thing. Nalibre pa kami ng dinner nyahahaha!
We found this small bar with live band beside a gas station nung nag stop-over kami.
It's already around 12 pm when we reached Ilocos Norte. Grabe ang linis ng daan! Walang tao AT walang ilaw! Hahahaha! Madalas wala kaming sinusundan at walang nakasunod sa amin. As in kami lang yung nasa daan. Napaparanoid nga si Janrey kasi ayaw daw nya sa dilim XD
Thanks to the Farinas bus we're following, we reached Laoag around 1:30am in the morning. Surprisingly, nakita namin agad yung hotel na tutuluyan namin. We checked-in and met up with the cafe owner to visit their cafe para alam namin kung saan pupunta later for the event. After that, we asked kung meron pang bar na open kasi gusto daw uminom ni Janrey and hindi pa kami masyadong inaantok. Binaba kami sa isang bar with the name "Cock House" LOL
Later that day, nag prepare na kami ng stuff for the event. Nakarating kami ng cafe around 1:30pm kasi medyo naligaw pa kami (oh diba useless pa yung pagpunta namin kaninang madaling-araw XD). There nakilala namin yung cafe owner and staff na mega kulit. Nag set-up na kami for registration and the tarp.
4 teams registered as soon as we finish the set-up for registration area. Tapos kwento-kwento, picture-picture, and nagkukulitan XD Dumagsa mga tao nung malapit nang matapos yung registration. And there was a even a team that came all the way from Vigan! Pero grabe yung isa sa kanila SOBRANG KULIT... Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses nya sinabi sa akin yun. Parang everytime he gets the chance, tatawagin nyan ako XD
Cafe owner and staff
A total of 8 teams registered. After every match, nag pa-pa "waffle" (rafffle) ako. Pag lalabas ako ng cafe palaging may sisigaw ng WAFFLE!!!! XD Nagasgas lalamunan ko noon grabe XD
Tournament went on until 9:00pm and ito yung mga winners:
Champion - Team Quake 1
1st Place: Team Noobie2nd Place: Team Hyperworx
After the tournament, nag pa noob race na kami and mukhang mas nag enjoy sila dun kasi tinuturuan nila yung mga first timer kung saan sila mag papa level. (Forgot to take a picture kasi nagpapahinga ang lola nyo at that time XD)
After the noob race, mega sigaw na naman ang lola nyo para mag pa picture before matapos yung event. Sumampa na ako sa upuan sa gilid para lang ma cover silang lahat XD
After the event, nagyaya yung cafe owner for dinner. GRABE ANG DAMING FOOD NA IN-ORDER!!!! We didn't ate anything during the event pero naman... hindi lumalaki ang tyan pag nalipasan ng gutom. As much as I wanted to try them all, I can't kasi busog na busog na ako XD
Pagkahatid namin kay Manong Herms (ang aming magiting na driver) sa hotel to rest kasi malayo pa lalakbayin namin the next day, sinundo kami nung cafe owner with his Chrysler. I'm not really a fan of cars pero nung nakita ko sya at sinakyan namin, I was like WOW! I rarely see those kind of cars in Manila. Customized pa yung plate nya LOL
Anyway.. pumunta kami sa isang bar in San Nicholas malapit dun sa resto na kinainan namin. It was already 11pm nung nakarating kami dun pero halos wala pang tao. Pagdating palang ng 12 tsaka nagdagsaan mga tao. Tapos may dumating na isang grupo. Nung tiningnan ko akala ko mga matatandang babae na sosyal yung mga pumunta. Nung tiningnan ko ulit, ampota mga masyondang bakla pala! *rotflmao*
*whispered to Janrey* "Mga bakla pala amf!"
*whispered back* "Oo. Yung isa nga tumitingin sa akin eh"
"Sino?!"
"yung pinaka matanda sa kanila. Tingnan mo naman ang porma - naka black leather dress tapos naka white boots."
"HAHAHA!!!"
Tapos pag balik nya from CR, sinundan daw sya HAHAHAHA!!!!
"anong ginawa nya?"
"naghilamos"
"buti walang ginawa sayo?"
"susuntukin ko sya pag may ginawa sya!"
Tapos may girl sa dance floor, sa harap ng DJ booth, na sumasayaw ng. She's an eye candy naman. The thing is, the music's beat was fast and she's dancing slow and sexy. Tapos isang set of move lang yata ang alam nya. Napapailing nalang kami ni Janrey eh XD
Syempre bago kami umalis picture picture ulit!
Tapos pumunta kami sa Cock House ulit. Nandon ulit yung band na nadatnan namin nung Sat kaso patapos na sila nun kaya hindi kami masyadong nagtagal.
The next day, we left Laoag around 12 pagkagaling namin sa cafe kasi may kinuha pa kami. Tsaka lang ako nakakuha ng pictures na matino kasi gabi na kami nung nakarating kami ng Laoag.. madilim na T_T
Nakakapagod pero sobrang worth it. I'm hoping na we can do one of our CUS here (this time by plane syempre! XD)
To Carlos, Dino, Sir Enrico, Jude, Gichin and Uplink staff, thank you, thank you for the warmest welcome and assistance.
Sa mga players na dumalo MARAMING SALAMAT sa pag punta. You guys made our trip there sobrang worthwhile! ^____^
Sa uulitin! ^_____________________^
