malinta, malinta, i would never want to go back

for the first time in more than two weeks, i felt really physically and mentally exhausted -- the convention ended last wednesday, had to report for work last thursday and attend class till 10pm. aaaanndd, yesterday, still not recovered from this week's stress, tin and i went to malinta to conduct a seminar as part of our greater metro manila roadshow. geez, i have never been there at all in my whole entire life and i never knew that it's just so freaking far from civilization!! travel time was about an hour and a half going there and almost two hours back.

after the seminar, we didn't know how to get back home. so we just waited on the street for a bus. after quite a few minutes, tin and i decided to walk towards the intersection where there might be buses.
while walking for a few seconds, i told tin to watch out for buses that might come from behind as we were walking towards where the supposed buses were heading. i was still finishing my sentence when we both looked back and shouted "AYUUUUNNNN BUSSSS!!!!!!!!!"
right behind the first bus was another second bus and we both shouted again, "AYUUN PAAA!!!"
i don't know if it was just sheer happiness or stress but we were laughing so hard because of our reaction even until we got inside the bus and found our seats. lols.

so what to do with exhaustion? file my leave. well, technically it's not counted as a leave. rather, an offset for the one day i went to work last february.
what's better is, since my family is coming back to manila this june i have saved up enough offsets to consume for more than 1 week because of the overtime days i have from the previous event. the only thing is, i might not want to stay that long in dumaguete for more than 3 days. gaah.

...dali na kasi

finally! words from lakbay! hehe
i've been waiting to see your feedback from the event. lots of things to say right? and overall i would still say its fun =) congratulations!

i can see from your words how elated you guys were upon seeing the bus. i surely would have laughed with you guys way beyond monumento hehe ... but that was just malinta (which is very proximate to where i used to live, and i will roughly disagree that it is far form civilization. hello, may jollibee di ba? - signos ng isang progresibong bayan. at ... may sm kayong nadaanan. hehe), wait until meycauayan requests for you, haha!

yes, beer. let's.
