on going on field to mindanao and the sidetrip to camiguin

finally...




lessons learned from the five-day mindanao fieldwork cum side trip...

> the urc ID is very powerful when riding cebu pacific - front row seats and late check-ins

> cagayan de oro is one of the cities outside manila with the most gorgeous faces. almost in every place i look. i'd like to live there someday

> anj really knows my type

> mallberry's was a good choice of hotel. dottie's was okay.

> the words "islands apart" convinced me to do something impulsive that would make me feel used afterwards.

> our new hp camera given to us by tita miyam works perfectly

> camiguin = wow. white island was spectacular. but boracay's still the best... so far.

> yes, i am relaxed by being in the beach.

> we were the only stupid travelers on that day who, because of frugality, thought of hiking 1.5 km the mountains leading to katibawasan falls, even if we can take a pakyaw four-wheel ride.

> i could ride a multi-cab, a ferry ride, a bus trip, a taxi, and a plane in one day. it seemed the whole universe conspired for us to get from the resort to manila without any waiting or lag period

> "suka" on a bus seat is a mental / psychological challenge during an hour's non-aircon provincial bus ride. ugh.

> a side trip during an OB trip can get really really stressful - due to the harrassing schedules. a side trip can't be called a vacation.

> i still need a longer beach vacation. when will this be?
