post-immersion stuff
After we arrived in rockwell, afternoon of the 20th, I was so excited to go to our apartment to take a nice bath. Hahaha!
Anyway, during the send-off dinner, I learned that I was going to be assigned to the environmental legal assistance center (elac) in coron, palawan. from that time on, I had no control of my schedule (which I really hated).
The next day I was in front of the computer doing layout work for our consti project when 1 of our facis called me on my cellphone. he asked me if I got permission already to go to palawan, to which I said yes. the next question was, "have you packed?" I gave a negative answer. The next shocking statement was, "start packing, you're leaving tonight."
I was literally crying because of pressure. I haven't finished the project, my dad would be shocked to know that I'd be leaving THAT soon, and will be gone for more than a month. Well, that's beside the fact that I haven't even gotten enough time to bond with my bed after sleeping in a papag for 6 days. Well, as if I had any choice…
Anyhow, I later learned that the boat trip wasn't until the next day. Then again, my dad would not let me take a boat. He insisted on getting me a plane ticket. I was on the brink of throwing one of my occasional tantrums at that time. Came the following day (the supposed date of the boat trip)… my dad was trying to get me booked for a plane trip. He then knew that my boat ticket was for a super ferry trip (he thought it was one of those small boats or sea vessels) and that the plane going to coron was a 19-seater plane. So at 10:30am he allowed me to take the boat trip. And the time of the trip? 4:45pm!!!
Again, I had to fast-forward everything. I packed quickly and without being able to let people know that I'd be gone for some time, I hurriedly got to the pier and rode the big boat.
It was my first time to take a boat ride. When I got inside, I realized that our tickets were for economy class and the place was really stinking (according to mon… I had colds so I wasn't able to smell it). It was also really hot as in hot… I wasn't able to sleep properly so I sneaked to the upper level (air conditioned place) and slept in the sofa. Haha! Another thing, food stuff in the boat was like gold. Imagine, a can of soda for 39 pesos! Whaaa!?!?
At least I didn't get sea-sick and reached coron after 12 hours...
