Calamba, Laguna : Bored and Heartbroken

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I hate SUMMER VACATION! For me, summer vacation is boring. Summer vacation means no stipend and summer vacation means being heartbroken. Every night of my vacation, I cried a lot. I don’t eat that much because I don’t have my appetite. I don’t socialize with my family and my friends. Well that is another story I’m just here to tell you my vacation. This time I spent my vacation in our province, Laguna, particularly in the city of Calamba.

Every morning, I rode my bicycle and roamed around the farmland to feel the fresh air. I have to wear my jacket because of the cool breeze. I also watched the rising of the sun and face my new day confidently. Yeah! While staying in our province, I bought a rabbit and I named him Spark. He was so fluffy and energetic. I always gave him cabbages and carrots to eat. When it was lunch time, we ate in the banana leaves that my father cut fresh from its tree. We used our bare hands to eat. Yummy! After our lunch, we took our siesta. In the afternoon, I always played badminton with my sister, Chinchin.

Two weeks before summer ends, we packed our things. We are now heading off to Pasig. I’m going to miss this place. I’m going to miss everything. And I promised to myself that someday I’ll build my own house. Spending your vacation in a simple place made me realized that no matter how heartbroken you are, there are still things that will make you happy and feel that you are not alone.
