I'm Ready For Adventure: Arriving at SM Lipa, Meeting With My Little Brother, and My Worst Nightmare Climbing Up in the Overpass

I was so eager to get out on this big ferry, I want to go down and step my feet in the land of Batangas that instant. Talk about "overreacting," but it's really been that long, you know, lol. It's not that I miss it so much, but more like, being able to get out in my province, being able to go outside my room and see unfamiliar and new faces, I feel like I suddenly gained the freedom that I've been longing for. But it's not like I don't have freedom okay, it's actually just my choice not to go travel. I should do this more often, no? Lol. But to freely do this, I need to save up more ( ꈍᴗꈍ).

And here we are now walking our way out from Batangas Port. The ferry had a hard time docking because there's no available space on the shore, and because of that, we spent another 5 to 8 minutes in the ocean, a little far away from the port. And when we finally landed, we just followed the other passenger. When we saw a guard nearby, we asked where we could find a van that is headed in SM Lipa because that's where my little brother will fetch us.

We are so lucky to arrive on time in the terminal. The van was already full of passengers, so we started traveling right after getting inside the van. If we are just a bit late, we'll surely have to wait another 30 minutes or more for it to be full.

So after another 50 minutes of travel from Batangas Port to SM Lipa, finally, we arrived. We are still not sure where to go after arriving here. My little brother is already there too, but I think he's still inside the mall. Mama had to go to the comfort room, so I took that chance to chat with my little brother.

And there he is, lol. We finally meet, haha. We decided to stop by the supermarket to buy some things and foods. We are planning to make dinner for us. My brother is really a lazy Bee, so he doesn't cook. But he is kind enough to have his gas refilled so that we can cook while staying in his place.

So here we are now on the second floor. Thanks to the elevator, getting inside the mall is much easier. Ehe. But I can't really get used to the number of people that I encountered here. As in, there's a lot, so my introverted side is reacting violently. Lol.

Anyways, we are already inside the mall, and there's a small event happening here. It looks like a pageant gor teenagers. They all look so stunning. We'd love to stay longer, but we are running out of time already. We still have to go to the supermarket and cook later, so we left the event and proceeded on to the supermarket, where we left all our bags.

We headed to the vegetable section in the supermarket and picked the Chop Suey mix. We are craving it, and you know what's the best with Chop Suey? It's a chicken liver. And so we also pick a fresh chicken liver. After picking some more, we then headed outside to go home. To my brother's home, actually it is just a room, hihi.

This is my hated part on this journey, the overpass! We had to use the overpass and climb up in there, and y'all know I am really not athletic. And worst of all, it started to rain, and seriously, I felt so unlucky that time. Lol. Mama and my brother are already far apart from me, and here I am still at the top, running for my breath, lol. I really thought I'd die because of suffocation, lol.

Thanks God I survived and was able to eat my mom's chop suey. And our night didn't end there, of course. In this big city, the night is just starting to get busy and lively at 8pm. That's just according to what I saw and experienced the other night. How about in your city?
