Splash Island Adventure

It was Tito Mike's birthday in Splash Island in Laguna. I woke up in delight. Mom gasped and told Dad, who was half sleeping" Excited na excited ang anak mo!" Daddy just groaned and turned over. I stripped myself naked and took a shower. After 15 minutes, I stepped out, dripping wet. I grabbed my towel and wiped myself dry. Mom said" The dress is on the bed!" I rushed to the room and dressed up. Mom entered and grabbed the brush and let me bow my head. She brushed my hair. I did as well and then, I was ready. We made sure that we had everything. Shower kit check, present, check! Excitement, double check!. Dad was going to his officemate's children's party since he promised. It was a bit humiliating for him. First, we stopped by McDonalds so my parents could eat, I did in the house anyway. We drove to Las Pinas since Tito Mike and Tita Chinkie were going to drive us. So as we were almost there, Mom told Dad" Nasa subdivision na tayo! Nasaan ang bahay nila?" I just sat there, reading the Junior Inquirer. It was very boring just sitting down while waiting for the most memorable adventure ever. Mom called Lola Conch and asked" Nasaan ang bahay ni Chinkie?" Then after Dad got the instructions, we arrived in the house. I brought down the present and gave it to Tito Mike. As I went in their house, I was surprised. The house was completely furnished....and neat! Dad and Mom ate a quick breakfast. I went upstairs to see the bedrooms. How clean! I told myself. The rooms were completely clean. The shoe cases were completely alligned. The TV matched the bed's color. I told myself again" They sure know the meaning of taste!" Lola called me down and she said" Angel! Ito ang aking BFF! Si Lola Violy! Mare, ito si Angel!" She gasped and as she was going to come in, Miguel shut the door closed. I waved hi to her and as I came out, I kissed her on the cheek while Miguel was making funny but insulting faces. Tita Chinkie walked up to me and gave me tons of movies to watch. I thanked her. Getting the full season 2 of Hannah Montana, Horton, A 40 in 1 DVD and more was absolutely awesome and expensive for a person. It cost about 250 pesos per DVD. Imagine that! It was a real long drive to Splash Island. As we arrived, we claimed our tickets. I was of course General Admission so my entry is free! ( I think). Then, we found a tent and chairs to sit on. It was by the water waves. Mom applied tons of sunblock on me. I begged her to let me go already but she said it wasn't okay without adult supervision. I waited and waited because they need sunblock too. Afterwards, I went off to the waves with Lola. It was exciting! We then went to the kiddie pool a.k.a Water Wahoo. I swam and swam. Lola then told me that I had to switch guardians. So we went there. I exchanged with Tita Chinx. After that, we rested for a while. Then, Tita Chinkie and I played in the waves. She taught me how to fight the waves using the Jump High technique and the Karate Kick technique. I didn't like the Karate Kick since I would sink underwater. Tito Mike and Miguel joined in and then Mom did and we transferred to the Balsa River. It was so fun! Afterwards, it was lunch. We gobbled so much. We just rested then. Tita Chinkie then forced us to go in the slide that is on top of the entire Laguna. I thought it wasn't that until Mom said so. We rode on top and my eyes were shut the entire time. I would almost tilt and fall off the raft but I would tug on Mom's shirt. We went off to take care of our stuff and Tita Chinkie, Tito Mike and I went back to the waves. Miguel then had a time out because he was a naughty boy. I spent 3 hours in the pool. I tried all the slides until we had to shower. Then, we left. That was the best Splash Island adventure ever!
