Yeah, and so im back here in my room, infront of my pc. In short, i’m home! hooray!

This past weekend, i went to pagudpud together with 4 of my officemates (Tony, Leo, Luna and Ed) and with Joy, Ed’s girlfriend. It was one cool weekend i must say.

The getaway:
This plan started way back january (or february i think) Luna wanted to go on a getaway (relax from the hectic work we were experiencing) and whala! The next thing i knew, they were gathering people who wanted to join the trip to pagudpud (the so-called boracay of the north) and then the people who will join the trip were completed. and so we started our getaway….

Pre-pagudpud:
We were bound to leave manila on the 4th of April at around 9:30pm. The trip would take as long as 10-12 hours (whoa! this is going to be a long trip) We finished work (Tony, Pony, Leo) at around 7pm so that we can leave to get to the bus terminal by 9:30 pm. Ed and Joy will meet us up there as they hold the receipt for our seats. We arrived at around 9pm, perfect. We were seated at the back part of the bus (this is going to be one bumpy ride)

We were caught on cam while having dinner…. by the way, that’s leo

The long, hard, bumpy trip:
And so the bus departed at around 9:40pm. The toilet sign says it all… Do not do number 2 (as luna would say it, go figure)

The movie that was playing inside the bus was The Eye (U.S. Version so expect the toned-down horror and somewhat lost in translation feel of the movie) after the movie (which i didn’t watched because of 1. Poor sound quality since we were a the back seat of the bus and 2. no subtitles in which case, making it very impossible to understand so my solution waited for my future wife’s call and after that, i slept! haha!)

The bus had 2 stopovers. One was around 12 midnight around tarlac or la union i think and the other one was in ilocos sur (that was around 5am) after which the bus played another movie. This time from Jet li and Jason Statham entitled “WAR” After at least 12 hours…. The photo on the left was the bus setup and point of view on where we are seated.

The Arrival:

And so after 12 hours of sitting, standing, sleeping, bumpy ride to pagudpud, we made it! yipee! pagudpud! here we are. We arrived the terminal, looking for 1.) a restroom 2.) a place to pose for our picture and 3.) how to get back to manila. And now the fun begins….
