I spent my weekend at Mei's house in Bataan. And it was a weekend of "firsts".

We left Manila Friday evening. When we arrived at the bus station, oh my, the line was snaking. I was kidding Mei the whole time we were in line that there will not be enough buses to transport all the passengers. By the time its our turn, the bus crew will tell us "Sorry, we ran out of buses. Try again tomorrow." But thankfully, I'm just weird enough to think about that kind of situation and we arrived Bataan around 11 in the evening. It was my first time to go to Bataan.

Tita Wilma, Mei's mom, told us Friday night that we were going to Subic Saturday morning. Since Mei and I are lazy on weekends, we woke up late so by the time Mei's mom was finished with her morning errands, we were still not ready to leave. We arrived SBMA around lunch time and I was so awed since it was my first in SBMA. Hell yeah, I had fun shopping :) Thank God! I didn't bring lots of cash with me! Or else I would have bought a whole lot more. Haha :) I was able to buy the lotion I have been looking for a long time already, Palmer's Cocoa Butter. I was very, very ecstatic when I found it in the shelves.

Then we had late lunch at Pier One Subic. Nice beachfront view :) So breezy and unconventional for a Pier One franchise. Afterwards, we walked along the shoreline, to burn off what we ate. Haha :) Just kidding. Tita Wilma wanted to show me around Subic. And then we went to Subic proper. I was just laughing in my head when I observed that it was a "Gordon" country. Gordon bridge, Gordon village, Gordon street, Gordon politicians, etc. You know how it is here in the Philippines. I don't need to elaborate :)

But the real treat for the day was the body scrub at a spa in Bataan. My first time to have a full body scrub. Haha :) Let's not go into the details since it involved being naked in front of a lady stranger and the said stranger scrubbing your body for about an hour. Funny thing was that the stranger told me I had lots of dead skin in my legs. That didn't sound nice but I surely had a good laugh. Must have been very noticeable for her but not for me since I get to see my legs everyday. Haha :) I also had a massage after the body scrub. My first time as well.

We had to go back to Manila the following morning. Mei had errands to do for her mom back in Manila. But no! She wasn't able to do it since we were both tired from our weekend fun :)

Number of Firsts: 4 :)
