The epic misadventures of our EK getaway!!!! (=

After this trip 3 things I was absof*ckinglutely sure of:

1) I'll have to re-brand this blog to "The misadventures of the kuripot dork".

Why?

A regular day pass in EK costs P600. But being the cheapskate dork that I am, I scored tickets for only P380!!!! :) Whenever I bag a good bargain, I cannot help but brag about my budget saving skills! hihih! :)

2) I should never trust my sense of direction. A GPS will make a good investment. ktnxdie

Why?

We got lost 345678765432 times, and asked 3456543 times, and got 567898765 stupid answers. 

SCENARIO 1

Me: Ate, san papuntang SM Sta. Rosa? 

Star Toll teller: Left, Direcho.

WRONG. Her spatial issues would have been fine, if the traffic wasn't ass numbing!!!

Me: Kuya, san papuntang SM Sta. Rosa?

Guy in the jeep: Kaliwa kayo dyan.

Me: Kuya, dalwa ung kakaliwaan. Alin dyan?

SRSLY? 

Me: Kuya, san po papuntang SM Sta. Rosa?

Kuya by the tryc: djfkshnkfnhktiuiturytn tpos kjdhfksjdhgudno qwertyuiop

BOOM. I assumed Cher was listening. Cher assumed Kayen was listening. Kayen assumed we were all listening. Hanna, well, we all knew she didn't care. HAHA

Me: Kuya, san papuntang SM?

Traffic enforcer: Direcho kaliwa!

..and he was pointing entirely to a different direction. NICE.

Finally, in SM..

Me: Kuya, san po papuntang EK?

Guard: Punta kang Balibago

Me: Kuya di po ako dito taga dito, di ko alam kng san ang Balibago.

WTF!?

3) I can drive finally drive in Manila.--at night. In the wee hours actually.

Let me share with you something you are not allowed to tell my parents. I drove to Manila.--by accident. PROMISE!

We were singing merrily, driving slowly after dinner from Jollibee SLEX,   laughed about the Camille Co wanna be in EK,  until... I saw the FILINVEST SIGN! Screeeeeecchhh!!! "Why are we in Alabang!!? We exited the wrong toll gate!!! Omg. Omg. Omg. We're in Manila. I'm driving in Manila. For chrissake please call Pol and Gee. Oh sh*t we just missed the alabang exit!!!!" I uttered in horror like a broken record. 

We found our way back, and got out of Manila the soonest and the safest that I could. So we drove back to Batangas safe and sound.

Nonetheless, I felt proud. I never opened myself to the idea of driving in Manila. Just the thought of it scared the temperamental bull in me. hahaha 

That was 10 times worse than Space Shuttle. No really.

More pictures and dorky kwentos in my next post!!! :)
