We Went Unplanned

It was like hopeless when Papsie and I were discussing about when we are going to have the usual dip into the waters which is supposed to be held every year as a family gathering. There was not enough money, there are other priorities, what about the others, etc, etc. - these we all have to take into consideration. Papsie always acts like he is the eldest - always planning for the group. But he is the youngest living among Nanay's offspring. Why then he always have to fret for the others? Papsie is by nature a kind brother though misinterpreted a lot of times, or maybe just ignored because he is the youngest, or maybe they just don't want to give importance to what he had done or to what he is doing for the good of everybody.
But I am not here for that story. The story was about the unplanned trip turned out to be one of the fun trips we had with Kuya Pen's family. As I said it was just like hopeless, I mean, it was just like no swimming for the kids, which will make me sad for them. Papsie already told me that Kuya Pen and his family will pursue their plan with or without anybody in the group the following day. Then Pareng Lito came, Papsie inquired about his kumpare's lakad the following day. No trip for Pareng Lito on the following day! Shoot! Papsie figured immediately what to do next - he told Kuya Pen that we will be using Pareng Lito's vehicle which can accommodate 10 people. I asked what about the others and Papsie told me that he was told that they will be going with a group of neighbors so we need not worry. They have already plans on their own.
The trip to Tanza, Cavite is a nice one. My kids enjoyed swimming in the waters of the beach. It was a new and fun experience for them. The food was nice, too, - inihaw everything! Oh, there was adobo which was Daryl's favorite. It is inihaw na tahong for Kay. We went unplanned but we got back with all smiles and sunburn!
