My college friends planned to have a reunion a month ago and we are gonna do it at the same resort we went two years ago which is Nine Waves in Ampid-1, San Mateo. Nine waves is quite memorable to us since before the public knew about the resort we tried it out first. It was after the Nursing Board Exam. We wanted to relax before we receive the results, just to relieve the tension. But anyways, during our stay there in 2006 it's just the ten of us. Yeah, we had the whole resort for ourselves. It was like a soft opening, they are acctually cementing the pavements at that time. Going back, 9-10 is the set date, the call tine is 4PM but I had to be late 'coz my shift's until 5PM. After shift I ate at Chowking Eastwood City with my BFF's then left immediately. I arrived at around 6:30Pm at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Araneta Center, our meeting place. We left for San Mateo at around 8PM taking the Commonwealth Road to dodge the heavy traffic of Friday night. While on the way I dozed off the woke up realizing that I'm the only one who wont have any partner later, on this night getaway. Imagine, four pairs and me. How sad, right? But nothing to worry, I'm going to be the star anyways. haha. At around 9PM we arrived hungry for food and a dip in the wave pool. Our resident mother Bevs took charge of the rentals. She rented a hotel-like cottage an umbrella near the w
ave pool. We settled first in our room before heading to the resort. There we're many people that night, I don't know if it's always like this, there we're even Korean boys and girls. We went to our umbrella to have our dinner but befire that we had to grill our food. First oof, the FRESH TILAPIA. Yes, it's so fresh that it was not yet scaled and the intestines and the gills were still there! Ew! Me and Jun don't have any choice but to do it but there's another problem, knife! Good thing the nearby elderly neighbors pitied our gloomy situation, they let us borrow their super dull knife. Well what can do? During o
ur "Palenke" moment, Jonas started setting up the griller. Chester is in-charge of the grilling of the fish and hotdogs. Our other foods? Pork BBQ, Pork and Chicken Sisig, Roast Chicken and chicha. While still grilling I can't help but trying out he sisig, there are two varieties and there's chicharon toppings. It was heavenly HOT and SPICY! Then something dreadful happened!!!! See my last post then you'll know what. Well anyways after that incident we dipped ourselves. There were three pools there, a Kiddie pool, Slide pool and the Wave pool. In the wave pool the 'wave engines' starts to 'make waves' every hour for fifteen minutes and as claimed, there were 9 waves, I think. Me, Ras and Jun swam towards the deep part of the w
ave pool while it was making waves, we thought we could make it but I think we almost died. We went back scared and laughing. Next stop is the Slide pool, we spent most of our time there talking about what to drink later that eve. The girls, Ana, Bevs, Mica and Ina were there as well with their traditional open forum and we are hoping that during the drinking session that will happen later there would be the traditional 'iyakan'. Cheezy, but it's a barkada thing. We bought Red Horse and San Mig Light at a nearby sari-sari store outside the resort premises, good thing we had a room so it's just ok to bring liquor. Upstairs in our room we started the drinking spree. Ina had to pass 'coz she came from a shift. Mica had to pass as well for some unknown reason. We started off with Generoso
brandy. Woah! Where did that came from, apparently Ras bought a surprise party starter. After we, the guys, gulped up the whole bottle contents of the brandy we zoomed to the resort and swam just for fun. A bit tipsy, halfway down the resort premises I forgot I that I am wearing my last short pants. Well, nothing could stop me from having fun, I removed my army cargo shorts and revealed my black boxer briefs no one's there anyways. Whatever. haha. We went back to our room 'coz the operating hours of the resort is up until 4AM only. We continued drinking RH then finished it off with SML. You can tell I drank too many 'coz I'm stealing 'tagay' from other people. Drunk and wasted I rested my head and next thing you know, I'm asleep. By the way, that was almost six in the morning.

I opened my eye with headache and body pains at around 10AM. First thing that came to my mind is that I have another night swimming to attend and the call time is 4PM in Marikina. WTF! huhu. I'm still tired but I have to go home and take some rest to re-fuel my energy reserves. I quickly took a shower and left with some of my college friends who have work that day. The room can be occupied until 6PM so my other friends who were not leaving yet we're joking that I could go back and stay there for a while. I left San Mateo by myself, head home and slept at around 12PM
After 4 hours I woke up not feeling well, still light-headed. I don't even know
how I managed going to Marikina with this feeling. Our meeting place is supposed to be at Ellaine's pad in Vista Valley but we still had to buy our food so we went to Robinson's and have a Chicken Inasal resevered for us. It was raining hard at that time, we, I, Ellaine, Sarah, Juvie and Jay, had to stay inside the supermarket and goof around. The feeling of acid in my stomach is ranting. I thought eating something 
could stop the this but no, I think I made it worse. I was nauseous and I feel I had to go. I pooped in a public restroom, this sucks. I have diarrhea, could it be the sisig. That sisig hit me hard twice, damn you sisig Hooray, damn you. Well it could be indigestion from the variety of liquors we drank. When the rain subsided we immediately head to Nine Waves. Yup, the same resort. Same routine, we rented an umbrella and paid our tickets. I really can't cont
ain the feeling that I had at that time. I vomitted thrice, I think. I lost appetite, tried to eat some but I vomitted again. Oh God, I'm bulemic. hehe. Well after vomitting all liquids my stomach can't absorb, miraculously I suddenly felt well. Now I know what Ash is talking about, the relief of puking. I drank my bestfriend - coffee. Damn, in no time I'm back i'm business! 
I ate, swam, smoked, dipped, hunted...... hunting? No, I mean fishing. There were many fises there to bait. Milkfishes, Tilapias and Lapu-lapu. Mudfishes were there as well but they won't interest me. haha. Before fixing ourselves and go home we had our pictorial with the whole resort as the audience, we posed as if no one's looking. I suddenly felt tired, as if my energy surge were lowered. We left the vicinity at around 4AM. I'm offically sick while on the way home. I'm feverish, hot and lovely..... um, lonely and reddened. I immediately slept when I arrived. I could not think of anything but rest my head, back and legs on my bed. I dozed off...

Conclusion: It was fun, but unhealthy, but I can't just choose between a group of friends. I'll just have to make the most of it while abusing myself. hehe. Take each moment with your friends 'Like You'll Never See Them Again'.
Lesson Learned: Don't let an upset stomach get in the way, use it to enslave your friends.
Post Script: I forgot to post my post-Subic escapade. I replied to the Clark invitation. I stayed there for four days and three nights. I never really did anything there but I was HAPPY... on those days.......
hi. share ko lang my bad experience with sisig hooray kahapon. my friend and i were eating sisig there (robinson's galleria) and we were so happy about how yummy it was.niyaya ko sha dun kasi nakakain ako dun once at natuwa ako sa chiken sisig.binida ko pa sa friend ko na mura dun pero okay talaga ung timpla.
ReplyDeletewe decided to order some rice pa kasi bitin ung almost half cup na ata na rice nila. my friend ordered two extra rice but nobody attended to it (there were four people there and one of them was not doing anything). after some time, mga after 3minutes, my friend repeated her order. and one of the guys told her, "ma'am sandali lang, mabibigyan naman kayo eh."
T__T
when my friend got back to our table, mukang offended talaga sha kasi nafeel daw nya na pasimple daw na nangpahiya yung guy. so i said, don't worry about it, let's find na lang their contact details and send them some feedback about their crew.
continue na lang kami sa pagkain, i gave her my last bite of chicken sisig kasi i wanted her to try it since she ordered pork.
heto na.
she discreetly spat/spitted out a piece of "meat" and placed it on the styro plate. she said, "um..karton ba to?"
i couldnt tell at first kasi it was brown and a little flaky, so i decided to pick it up despite of her protests (it's been in her mouth after all).
OMFG
it's an effing piece of karton T__T
naubos ko na ung order, ang saya diba.
i took pictures using my phone and when i showed it to my coworkers this morning, they were so disgusted kasi it really looks like a piece of cooked flaky meat.
the busboy who was mopping the floor was intrigued with what we were doing so he was looking narin at the "meat". i told him, "karton, manong. nakuha ko sa sisig.jan s sisig hooray. Grr." mukang hindi pa sha maniniwala so i held it with my two hands and tore it. nanlaki ang mata nya nung nakita nya yung texture ng papel na pinupunit. pag-alis namin, he showed our plate to another busboy.
sabi nung friend ko, pag sinabi daw namin dun sa store, baka awayin lang kami at sabihin na we're just trying to get back at them dahil napahiya yung friend ko sa remark nung rude guy.
pero ako ung nakakain nun noh, at malay ko ba kung nasa ibang sisig din nila yun. i can't just let it go ng walang nasasabihan.
when i got home, about 40minutes nang nakalipas, i drank three glasses of water and stuck my index finger down my throat.
di na ko kakain dun T__T
un lang po. salamat sa space :-(
ac
-from ortigas
OMFG!!! (i quoted you on that one)
ReplyDeletethat was soooo awful! it's like eating something next to "pagpag" (re-cooked food that came from fast food chains scraps), i can only imagine what i felt... but that moment when i ate it, it was heavenly! huhu, but i'm getting sick to my stomach now.
the branch where we brought sisig was from shopwise cubao, may i just ask, is there a sisig hooray in rob gale? maybe new, i haven't been there in a while, that could be the nearest branch to our place.
anyways, i don't usually frequent sisig hooray but i do love SISIG (pork sisig).
obviously, it's the branch crew's fault, we can't tag sisig hooray as the "server of sisig with carton flakes", that could happen to any restaurant, fast food chains and to closed food package servings (tetra pak, foil, etc.).
if that happened to me i would've gone straight to the store counter and demand a refund, of course i "will" cause a commotion, and i would say that there is a rationale behind that, prevention of the same incident in the future. it's not a tragedy but something has to be done. going to the mall management could be one option.
good thing a couple of busboys kind of know the incident, that could help if they happen to advise the store crew of that branch about it, so they'll know what mistake they have done on their part, and again, to prevent further occurrences.
thank you very much mr./ ms./ mrs. anonymous for this information.
much appreciated!
