May 31, 2008; My 100th post! History repeats itself!
Today, me and my parents planned to go to Lucena City to visit my dad's client. We woke up at around 6 in the morning, so that we could leave early. We left at around 6:30. But the sad thing is that, the SLEX ain't fixed yet! The construction is still on-going! The traffic was from the Alabang Viaduct all the way down to the last exit at the Laguna area! And what made the traffic worse is that, the president came! I think she had 10 cars ahead of her, full of her security staff, assistants and the police!
After we exited at the Batangas exit, it's all smooth sailing. We drove-thru at Jollibee Sto. Tomas for our brunch, at around 9:30. After which, driving was made easier with those new by-pass roads. We arrived at our destination at exactly 11 in the morning. My dad talked to his client, and he also showed his proposal for the machine we would build, if the client approves it. They talked for about an hour and a half, while me and my mom stayed inside the car. My mom even bought some products from the market, because the client's place is near the central market of the City of Lucena. After they met, we left the place and decided to go home already.
Then suddenly, my dad told me to drive from there. So I accepted it! Wow! My first actual long drive! Wehw! Even though the traffic terrible, it was worth the drive! We ate at around 4:30 in the afternoon at the Palaisdaan Restaurant at Bay, Laguna. Instead of going back to Manila the same direction as to going to Lucena, we tried the other route. We passed by many towns like the home of the Pahiyas festival, Lucban, Quezon, and many more from the provinces of Quezon and Laguna. So there! What a day!
Now, let's digress to the 2008 NBA Playoffs!
It's the sixth game of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals series between the Boston Celtics and the Detroit Pistons. The game was tight during the first half, with the Celtics just leading it by three, 40-37. But the third quarter was owned by the Pistons as they outscored the Celtics 31-20 to lead the game, 68-60. The fourth quarter on the other hand, was the opposite. Paul Pierce exploded and so as the entire Celtic roster as they won the game and the series, 89-81, for them to earn the ticket to face the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals, a feat they never achieved for the past 21 years. Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 27 points and 8 rebounds, while Ray Allen added 17 points and 6 rebounds. The Pistons however, were led by Chauncey Billups with 29 points and 6 rebounds, while Rip Hamilton had 21 points and 4 assists.
