Under The City Lights

It was the most special day of the month of February. 4 days passed and Valentine's Day was already celebrated. It was now the 18th of February and we will go to a private pool somewhere in Laguna. I asked my Dad about why we need to go to this place even if it is already dark in the evening . We ate dinner first at the mall near to us and bought some snacks that will served as our midnight snacks  later. While we're eating dinner a while ago, the answer to my question about why we need to go to that private pool even if it is already 7 in the evening was answered by Dad. " The reason why we need to go to the private pool in Laguna was to congratulate the members of the company's Basketball Team." Dad said while holding a glass of iced tea. 

"Hon , do we need to stay there overnight?" Mom asked.  "Yes. They promised to provide rooms for the family of the employee . Don't worry it's gonna be fun!"  Dad promised with a big smile on his face. Well, honestly if Dad said that it's going to be fun , it will automatically  be fun.

Here we are now riding the company car of my dad and we were listening to a song in the radio and it makes me so damn sleepy. Mom and Dad was infront of me , meaning they are in the driver's seat while I was at the backseat. Because of my sleepiness I tried to look  at the window and observed the people walking. I am really observant when it comes to people and things.

We were riding a car for about 10 minutes and with that 10 minutes I've made stories inside my head but I never write them.  I scribbled my iPod and played some old games. 15 minutes passed and I was too sleepy  and so I asked permission  to my Mom and Dad if I could go take some rest and sleep. I just can't help the coldness that came from my Dad's company car. I am now lying on the backseat and I feel so comfortable and relaxed at the same time. Our whole trip was quiet and you can't hear anything except the music of the 90's on the radio.I fell asleep for at least 5 minutes and I was already so relieved.

When I woke up from a deep sleep, all I can see was the beautiful buildings with beautiful blue lights on it.  I've noticed that we were passing through Makati. I was groggy when I woke up but when I'm seeing this lights , I can say is that lights just make me happy. 

20 minutes and over passed but I can't help but to feel secretly happy when I saw the lights a while ago. It was 8:15 pm and of course it was too dark. All I can say is that we're already here in Laguna. This place was beautiful but a little bit far. I've seen a signage , it was written there " Welcome to Laguna!" with a lights around it. Lights? Yes, I loved to see lights. 

Kriing! Kriing! My Dad's phone rang. "Hello?" my Dad greeted the one who's calling him. I can't understand anything except as if they were talking about funny things. But to my surprise, the one who's talking to my Dad was asking for direction. The call ended and my Dad was driving through a dark village with a signage "The Best Private Pools" . I was guessing if this was the private pool that Dad told us a while ago. Dad is now searching for the specific private pool. If you were here in this Private Pool Village , all you can say is "All Pink houses, so where is it?" or something like "Damn, night time won't help us find the place." All of the houses appeared to be the same . My Dad was having a hard time to look for the specific private pool.

This village was infinite.
Finally, we're here already. The private pool house has a big parking and a simple type of house. We got off the car and I'm now sleepy as a girl with a hangover. While we are walking beside the swimming pool, I can feel the cool wind and fresh air.  I'm so tired , very tired and sleepy but this place was simple yet relaxing at the same time. On our way to our room , I can say that friendly people are scattered everywhere. Some are saying Goodnight already while others are drinking wine. 9:05 pm , it was just a time check. Someone was knocking the gate while I'm watching my Mom and Dad playing
billiard. A lady at the age of 30s surprised the whole staffs of the company.
