Before I proceed with my obligatory Year in Review post, let’s get this out of the way:

Didn’t get to greet you guys on Christmas Day because of technical difficulties (which are now thankfully fixed) so, yeah. Anyway, I would just like to remind you that like most Year in Review blog posts out there, this one can get a little too reflective and emo and shit for your taste. You’ve been warned.

2007 is drawing to a close, and you know what that means. Yep, it’s time for the obligatory Year in Review post. I did it last year, and I guess it’s just appropriate to do it again this year. I’m about to summarize my 2007 and I might get all reflective and emo and shit on your ass, so if you don’t want to read inane drama right now, get out. GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN! Also, I’m gonna do this by month. I’m OC like that.

After 3 days of The MASStig Ilocos Adventure Team being on the road, dicking around at the beach, and violating songs via videoke over a river, we spent our 4th and last day appreciating Philippine history, Chavit’s Baluarte, and kalesa rides in Vigan. And of course, there was the road trip back to Manila. Like all great road trips, the journey back home always seems the shortest. But it was still fun, though. Anyway, here’s the last batch of photos chronicling the soon-to-be legendary Ilocos adventure of UPLB MASS. Ladies and gentlefreaks, Baddie & UPLB MASS’ Invasion of The North - Day 4:

This is me in front of the oldest McDonald’s in the whole world! Seriously.

After Day 2, 6 of us left Ilocos to go back to Manila. And then there were 11. But that didn’t stop the remaining members of The MASStig Ilocos Adventure Team from having some more fun. For Day 3, we went to a nearby river, which we affectionately call “Ang Ilog na Malupet”, that had cottages on top of it. But those cottages didn’t make the river “malupet”. Inside those cottages were videoke machines! I mean, videoke machines! Inside cottages! Elevated by bamboo foundations over a freakin’ river! And after that, we visited the 414-year old (more or less) Paoay Church and then we ate exotic Ilocos dishes. And to end the day, like the first 2 days, we let alcohol put us to sleep. Now, in photo-speak, let me show you Baddie & UPLB MASS’ Invasion of The North - Day 3:

This is the M.I.A. Team heading towards our cottage over “Ang Ilog na Malupet”.

Since we, The MASStig Ilocos Adventure Team, spent most of Day 1 on the road and getting drunk on the beach, we enjoyed the long sleep. And we definitely enjoyed waking up in beautiful Pagudpud. We spent the rest of the day sightseeing, road tripping, and generally just dicking around. And since it was Good Friday, we still had the taste to respect traditions so we did a Bisita Iglesia, which we didn’t finish since most of us were already tired like hell. I can go on and on about this exhausting day, but let me just let the photos tell the rest of the story. So ladies and gentlefreaks, this is Baddie & UPLB MASS’ Invasion of The North - Day 2:

This is me affirming myself that smoking on the beach is awesome.
