T'was All Worth It.

This were some of the pictures taken from our journey last August 4-5, 2009. August 4 8:00 pm we left the house and checked in into "Diamond Hotel" first we rest and watch the news. Then it's time for us to go @ Manila Cathedral. We arrived @ exacly 1:30 am @ the end of the line. While were waiting, because of the heavy rain, we are soaking wet, and some of the streets are flooded. But it really doesn't matter, all we want was to see and pay respect to our former president Mrs. Corazon Aquino. We've been waiting for at least one and a half hour, but with all that we didn't got the chance to go inside because of the massive amount of people. We break through from the line and walk ourselves to where we park our car. Again, we didn't care at all if we didn't got that chance. We arrived at the hotel again at around 4:45 am, and we just rest. The next day, I woke up at 10am and my mom and aunt are already watching the last mass for Cory, after that we go to the streets of Roxas and wait for Cory's float to pass bye, again it was raining. But we don't care, We wated for an hour until there it was, the most beatiful event I saw so far, the people are shouting "thank you"! "goodbye"! "we LOVE you" and the most popular one "LABAN!" (Fight!) making the "L" sign with their hands. It had been a great trip for me and it was something really new. It just felt so great to sacrifice for someone whose really worth it. President Cory! You will forever be in our hearts thank you for bringing back the democracy for all Filipinos. We love you and may you rest in peace.
