Earlier today I tweeted I bathed in sunblock. Now I'm bathed in lotion, fresh from the shower, after being drenched in rain and mud.
I was still in the middle of my World Literature thing when I got told to prep to go out.
Main goal was for groceries. (Shops in Norway close like a day before the holiday. Frickin lazy.)
THEN! Tita Jo calls and invites us over at Aker Brygge.
So, we got some kebabs and sodas and refueled and made our way over.
Nasty Scenario. It's very difficult to find a free and good enough and legal space to park in Oslo, most especially on sunny days.
Oh Norwegians just looove it when the sun's out. You can actually see people in bikinis and trunks on the sidewalk.
Anyway, the parking thing was a problem. We found the perfect spot y the bank, but weren't sure if it was legal, seeing that nobody else was park on that side of the street except for a SECURITAS Minivan.
Around the corner, we noticed a car that was about to leave. Mom and I decided to just stand there and wait for dad to drive over. (So Filipino.)
This crappy sedan arrived just as we stood our ground on the box-where-you-park thing. We told him our dad's right behind him and we found the spot first. He told us "Too bad, I drove here first" and actually had the intention of running us over. Eventually, mom and I had to scat.
Still on the road, we told dad about the situation and mom went with him to find some place else. As the mom and kids got out of the shitty car, I just looked at them and screamed "Why don't you take a hike and park your shit somewhere else?!" or something like that. I'm pretty sure they didn't understand; at least they looked like they didn't.
I went over to my bruthas by the spot we parked earlier to wait for mom and dad. As I was telling them about the whole crappola, I saw that the sleazy-sedan-family was headed our way and O MY GOD was the lady scared!
Served her right, although it was kinda the husband I aimed for.
After walking around the park a bit while looking for the other crew, I could've sworn we were at some castle or fort. It took finding the other gang and walking in, for me, to realize we were at the Akershus Fortress. Oh wowzah..
It's pretty cool. I adore castles. I feel like I lived in one in my past life.
There's a mural indicating the place where the soldiers were shot. In one archway, there's 1779 written above.(Not that I think you'd find that interesting. Just saying.) And, I found this kind of escape hatch.
We found some cannons.
Here's Lanz and Josh on top of...something.
Just as we were about to sit and eat, rain came; lightly then strongly. We ran around looking for secluded spots, or basically anywhere with roofing, with our food and sodas in hand. Everyone ran for themselves and landed in different spots. Sweet! Later on, as the rain died down a bit, we all took shelter in this tiny shed and ate and drank.
To my dismay, I only had a a very light tee, some shorts and flippies. Totally drenched.
On our way to the car I noticed everyone getting into a straight line. Now that's family.
Most fun I had in weeks. I feel like I just reincarnated or something.
I end here, must get on with World Literature. Enjoy the rest of Saturday!
