My Dad and his Father before him my Lolo were travelers, Pops from Cebu/Visayas tried his luck in Mindanao. My Lolo back then traveled from Cebu to Mindanao and according to his stories went as far Manila. He would tell stories of people who never slept.
True to that tradition we had our so called short and temporary migration to Cebu. We started from Cagayan then Bohol after Bohol to Cebu.
Unbeknownst to my Pop's I traveled the longest from Zamboanga City to Cebu 24 hours straight. I traveled from bus then another bus to Cagayan then to island of Bohol.
I always hear this word from my old pop's hes a teacher by the way. Most of the time they have this 8-5 job teaching kids,standing up all day and quiz. In my mind that's what they do and they don't have or don't know how to have fun.
As always I don't know him that quite well. I get know him one summer,when we spent a very long time after I graduate from college and pass the boards. Its like a big question..so WHAT NOW? after memorizing those facts and BS some of it maybe. I'm stuck in our house figuring out after 4 years what to do (MY FIRST ITINERARY problems). You see between college and my hometown, I wasn't able to go out that much.As in REAAALLLY.
My route of itinerary back in college was just Zamboanga City and Zamboanga Sibugay...
So the past 5 years I was travelling back and forth of this long road....
10-15 years from now people would forget, we don't spend much time remembering this days. She I'm referring to MV Queen Emelia, would be laid to rest for the grave yard of ships until no one would remember. Here she is how I could remember her.
MV Queen Emelia
So for the past 5-6 years of my life I traveled by boat and bus.
Lets not forget Rural Bus how it looks like.
Disclaimer: This bus is not on its tip top shape though.
Boat or bus no flying yet from Zamboanga to Pagadian..maybe in the future.
