It’s officially Day 9 of this vacay! Akala ko 7 days lang pero heto tayo… lagpas na sa quota pero laban pa rin.
Looking back at yesterday morning in Manaoag, everything felt so divinely timed. After visiting the Basilica to fulfill my promise, I stepped outside around 9:00 AM and luckily… there was a bus right there waiting for passengers. The destination? Pasay.
Hindi ko na kailangang mag-rush sa terminal or maghanap ng masasakyan. It felt like God and Mother Mary already knew my next move and prepared the way for me. No stress, just a straight path back to the city.
Coffee & Breakfast? Absent again. Parang nakasanayan ko na 'tong no bfast/no coffee streak ko.
I just waited for vendors to hop on the bus to buy whatever they were selling to get through the trip.
After about 5 to 6 hours on the road, I finally arrived at the terminal and booked a ride to my accommodation.
Pagdating ko, thank God for 7/11! Sila talaga ang savior ko sa bawat stop. Decided to have an early dinner and just stay in my room to recharge my drained battery.
😂 The funny thing Is... It’s currently 3:00 AM on the 31st, and even though I’m lying down in my room, feeling ko umaandar pa rin ako! Hahahah…
After so many days and hours of vibrating on a bus seat, my body hasn't realized na nasa solid ground na ako. I’m eating my 7/11 dinner and waiting for the bed to stop at the next station. I don't know if I have travel fatigue or if I’ve officially evolved into a human bus seat! Hahaha!
What’s the plan for TODAY? Now that the sun is about to come up, I’m heading to Binondo Church. I want to see that beautiful church again and hopefully…finally…get a decent cup of coffee before I turn into a total zombie.
