A WEEKEND TO REMEMBER

in Worldmappin3 years ago (edited)

Hola Soy Erika! (In Dora’s Voice). Allow me to take myself back to the moment where I wish to freeze time indefinitely. I was having so much fun, new core memory unlocked!
Last December 4-5, 2021 (Saturday and Sunday) me and my big family took a little trip out of town since my cousin went back home from Dubai to pay a visit. Let me simply say how much I admire and commend Sudivers Lambug Beach for its welcoming atmosphere and helpful staff.

Before we arrived, I knew that this trip would be memorable because my loudest cousins and very outgoing aunts and uncles, whom I adore, were coming too. Karaoke, a few drinks, delectable foods, pleasant weather, calm sea, green surroundings, games with prizes and, of course, your loved ones are all on the menu. This is a day I wouldn't trade for anything!

Okay let me tell you the story of my personal disasters during that time. Please don’t judge me I can be dumb sometimes.

The night is still young and I already took a lot of drink cause of course this side of the family is the alcoholic one and we have been drinking during the afternoon so I’m already tipsy. I went too pee and saw a bed when I got out from the comfort room. I told everyone I was just going to take a nap to somehow sober me up but in a blink of an eye. It’s already morning. Ladies and Gentlemen! Sleeping in that bed could be one of the greatest regrets I have in my entire life (lol). Quick boring trivia about myself, since the COVID-19 pandemic started I never miss taking a bath every single day because I am paranoid. That day was the first time in nearly two years of pandemic that I did not take a bath, and the reason was that I fell asleep.

To that cousin who drew a lot of thigs on my arm using a permanent marker when I was drunk. YOU ARE AN ARTIST! But just know that it’s still on my skin right now. Girl, it’s hard to remove.

Early morning at 6 I told myself I’m going to redeem the fun that I missed when I accidentally slept for 8 hours without even noticing it, and have a great time on the second day since I was not able to swim and enjoy the high tide during the evening. So I put on my swimming attire and put on some sunscreen. So you're probably thinking that I'm about to face the waves and bask in the joy of the sea. YOU’RE WRONG! Dear God, what did I do to deserve. I can barely see the water. THE TIDE IS TOO LOW.

After accepting the feeling of not being able to swim, I put on my shirt and went back. Here are the things that I did.

  1. I sang to help my uncle fall asleep hahaha.
  2. We sing the Karaoke again (we have been singing since yesterday, I’m currently having a hoarse voice).
  3. My cousins and I talked and laughed a lot.

One thing is for sure, I enjoyed it so much. I realized that no one can take away your enthusiasm from you, not even the tides. What matters most are the people you are with and the comfort that you feel when you are around them. So make the most of every moment you have with the people you care about. Maybe God intended for the tide to be lower in the morning because instead of swimming alone, I bonded with my cousins who can’t swim because of their period and won’t swim because it’s too cold hahaha.

“If the sea won’t let you have fun, then have fun on the land!”

After a few hours, the water level begins to rise. They said that high tide will happen at 10:00 AM so I waited and because I'm too lazy to swim, I bought a floaty. Yes! I bought a floaty only to find out that the water has the same level as my calves. So to that person who told me that high tide happens at 10:00 AM, I despised you for 5 seconds hahahaha.

Nevertheless, I still had fun. I really am Erika the Drama because I told my cousin to act like she’s drowning and I would run to her in slow motion with my floaty. I love the movie Baywatch so much hahaha. They even saw a snake and we just run as fast as we could out of the water. For my floaty to have a purpose, we went farther away from the shore but then my feet can still reach the sea floor. I know that this floaty appears to be worthless, but don't worry, my dear floaty, I'll bring you along on the next trip!

Those 2 days have been so quick because we are having so much fun. I have been so stressed with my 3 theses and online classes as I am a graduating student. I needed that trip. Times like these make life so wonderful. Until next time! See yah!

Erika the Drama tells a story of an extrovert 21-year-old woman and all of her shenanigans in life involving the ups and downs, bad and good decisions, and her ways on keeping her life interesting. She is outgoing, decisive, sociable, boisterous, and loves to have fun. Her major ambition in life is to live with a sense of purpose (not household chores related, she's too lazy to wash the dishes). She loves and adores talking to people to gain different perspectives plus she can be good at making dumb conversations. She has a very curious mind and is very inquisitive. As the phrase goes, "Minds are like parachutes; they only function when open", she believes that having a close mind faces nothing but a disaster. Join her as she embarks on every journey of life and learns the most important lessons from it together.
