From ceremony, to nature and heat, to anime and the return to RO

My sister's wedding took around 2 long hours. At least I stayed awake. My legs were very tired from standing too long though. People walk too slow.
The reception was good, I enjoyed the speeches and the food was different. I never tasted bacon wrapped around breaded shrimp or fish stuffed with shrimp before. After the speeches, almost everyone kept going to the dance floor. My entire family stayed in the hotel where the reception was held. Day 1 of no internet.

My family got prepared and left the hotel around noon. I arrived home after we ate lunch... I think. I don't remember. I got to use the computer for 10 minutes to check email and other commonly updated pages. We had to eat out for dinner afterwards to get to know the Pio Rodas more. Thus ended my short return. Day 2 of almost no internet. I packed for a week's vacation in Boracay barely before midnight.

Boracay was a long, so I'll summarize this into 3 parts:

The bad - Intense heat, sunburn, and 5 times the mosquito bites I usually get. No cable or internet either for 4 days. Bathrooms are too... open. So much that it threatens privacy.

The good - calamansi and dalandan shakes as well as the few chocolate shakes I had. It isn't just because of the relief from the heat, they're a lot better than those in manila.

The somewhat interesting - A dog jumped on my dad's back when he was swimming. Other people started playing with it after. Riding tricycles with very reckless drivers. Its like I had a very good chance of falling off several times.

Now that that's done, and you most probably lost interest and stopped reading, I can talk about one of the more recent and disappointing experience: The Animax convention.

It was very boring. I couldn't enjoy the games they had there, but at least I got a poster, although I don't recognize anything in it. The announcers were, well, idiots. They treated everyone like 4 year olds. They questioned the intelligence of the fans that gathered in the convention. There was nothing. Just some Astroboy merchendise and gundam model kits. I left with R2 to get a bite to eat and go to starmall. I can finally watch Tokyo Underground and I played RO after a seemingly long absence. I died several times in Orc Dungeon and lost a lot of zeny on kafra warps. There was a very fun exchange of quotes between Vaelfor, a crusader and I. R2 might get into detail on that when he posts.
