Davao City, Philippines, 24th September 2011 - The well-used dusty bus seemed ready to roll off in a few seconds into the wild unknown...or rather it was off to Digos City.
Che then remembered she had to load her mobile as it was very important for us to have communication with the people we were to contact in our road trip.
Her BF Loo might also be wondering what happened to her on the adventure.
She hopped off the bus to one of the many stalls below where there were loading services for prepaid SIM cards.
The bus was ready to depart....I was anxiously craning my neck to and fro like a bewildered giraffe, she came back to the bus and sat back down into her seat. Thank goodness!
We calmly settled ourselves for an hour's ride to Digos, where we jumped from the parked bus, and rode a tricycle from the new terminal to the old bus terminal (I was more familiar with in my previous trips from Gen. Santos to Davao itself).
In the old bus terminal, we found a van which was waiting to be filled up for passengers to Kapatagan, a somewhat remote area where the Camp Sabros was located - perfect for zipline newbies and experienced zippies :-)
After finally draping ourselves as comfortably as possible among the creaky seats of the van, we wanted to double check on the internet about our route and trip to Camp Sabros.
Lucky that we had our cellphones and she had her load!
+++++++
Che (flicking open her phone and scrolling rapidly): Oh I got plenty of load...I think its even Php 400!
Cat: Whoa....that seems a lot!
Che (nodding): Yeah, coz I also texted my officemate and asked her to load my phone
Cat (excited): Great! we can surf longer or even the whole day!
++++
*silence for long moments*
Cat (curious and eager): ok ...so..what does the site say?
Che: Uhmm...hehe...I can't surf....low-batt ang phone...
*blips out?*
Ah...eh...well at least..plenty of load...
MWAHAHA!

ReplyDeleteLeroy needs to be thinking of something in order to be bewildered enough :-)
ReplyDeleteFully loaded. Full bar. Pero lobat. Gutom nga lang yan.
ReplyDeleteactually, her phone was really low-batt ..and not Che :-)
ReplyDeleteso I was chortling on the side because she was really enthusiastic about her big load for the mobile...
imagine the effort she made in loading it, even though the bus was almost going to leave..
... and even asking her ka-officemate to also load (para sure)...,
then in the end, di rin pala magamit kc paubos na battery ng phone...ehehe!
