jin loves to eat: Banaue-Sagada Trip: Getting There

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

And this is why I am hopelessly fat.

Even before we hit the road, I am already devouring our snacks for the trip.

At 10:15pm, we arrive at Frances’ house and snack on a box of Royce Chocolates.
I snack, they watch.

We leave at 10:40pm, get comfortable in the van, chat, nap and stop over for food.

First stop: Shell Select, Cabanatuan City

This place is nice. I am quite impressed.

There’s a mini park with trees, tables and chairs (Hello, Oreo!)

Complete with a mini fountain, too (Guys, PLEASE! DO NOT LITTER!)

People buy beer from Select and have a party here

Cars are parked and there’s some good music playing.
These guys even have their own Coleman of beer.

We bring our own snack of Tuna with Kesong Puti Pandesal, homemade by Frances

And buy a Shell Select bola-bola siopao

And cups of coffee and hot Milo

We spy some all dressed up high school kids hoarding beer.
(They are totally weirded out when I ask to take their photo)

Counting beer money

Their dates

Ahhh… why does prom night feel like centuries ago?

More prom-goers arriving in style

The sky is clear, the night breeze is cool, and my favorite chill out music is playing in the background.

Really, I can stay here all night.

Too bad all tables are taken so we eat our midnight snack standing by the fountain.
