Almost every April and May since 2006, I've been traveling to various parts of the Philippines. My stops include Tarlac, Bulacan, Pampanga, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Quezon, Camarines Norte y Sur, Albay and ultimately, my hometown, Sorsogon.
Once again, May has arrived and I will be in a series of travels. My 'Summer Travels' are a mix of vacation, leisure, business trips, Christian activities (like Youth Camps) and missions Trips of my own. The months of April and May are my busiest, following December, January and September but that's not always the case. There were instances when something comes and that pattern is broken.
Right now I'm in our house in Laguna to pick up some things I'll be needing for my travels. I arrived yesterday (There was a traffic jam at the unloading area in Crossing-Calamba)and will also depart today before lunch. Later at 3 PM, I and JIVE Youth will be on our way to Pililia, Rizal for Precious Bible Baptist Church's event entitled Upper Room.
I don't know what time the event will end but after that, I'll go directly to Gumaca, Quezon, to one of our church members' house for a vacation. One day for me is enough, although I would like to stay longer. The mothers of the church planned this outing in line with the Pahiyas festival in Lucban, Quezon on the 15th. The mothers already departed yesterday evening and will arrive in Gumaca a little later in the morning. I'll be catching up with them tomorrow morning. This is still tentative because of the hassle I will be experiencing.
On the afternoon of the 16th, I will be boarding a bus for a 16-hour drive to Donsol, Sorsogon. I am supposed to go to Donsol before the 12th because it's her 4th year Death Anniversary and I would like to pay my respects again, but due to current circumstances, I wasn't able to do so. I'll be going home either on the afternoon of 21st or the 22nd. It's a matter of choice between receiving a free comic book or not XD LOL It still depends on the situations at hand. I'm actually reluctant to go home to Donsol this week and postpone it to September but I have important matters to deal there and I have to do what I have to do, so I'm left without any choice but to go there. It may be an big expense, but it's still worth all the trouble. Besides, I'll be enjoying the 16-hour trip. I always pick the seat by the window with the bus' air-conditioning nozzle aimed at me. I better bring a jacket. I'll have another encounter with nature, and a whole week of clearing my mind from all the hustle and the bustle of teh city. Also, I'll strive to finish the storylines of my two novels. I hope it will be published next year.
Travel is my passion. New experiences is the name of my game. This is game Master Rege, now signing of... I mean, logging out. Have a great day everyone and Bon voyant to all travelers :)
