Heading to the Hinterland

I wanted to share a long but sweet story, but nevermind . My body has been so tired from travelling especially my joints. I really thought it was just a two to three hour bus ride from Agora Terminal to Malaybalay City, but then it was almost six hours. Head aches a bit

I travelled to Bukidnon because for the very first time, I wanted to witness the street dancing of different IPs from Bukidnon during the Kaamulan festival. I was able to attend before but we were only able to witness the booths and not the major events.

Prior to that though I only had minutes to prepare my essentials because I forgot that I would be travelling to Malaybalay City. I just took whatever clothes and undergarments my hands could take from my closet. I did not mind bringing tooth brush, clothes for sleeping, and other toiletries. I supposed my Auntie Fe stocked some things for me since I had been travelling to Bukidnon (particularly Malaybalay City) a lot.

The traffic around Cagayan de Oro was pretty bad because of the simultaneous graduation ceremonies on some schools. A lot of roads had been clothes which pushed some commuters to walk instead of waiting the heavy traffice to reduce.

Since I was not able have my brunch, I took time to roam around Divisoria (our city center) to find a food stall/resto/eatery that sells affordable lunch meal. I decided to eat near Xavier University because they sell cheap chicken wings meal, but I was so disappointed with the texture and taste of their chicken. I missed and wanted to eat the unli wings again sold at one of the restaurants in Dumaguete which is found near City Mall.

I wanted to travel already since it is past one in the afternoon but my aunt texted me that she was still in Kisolon so I decided to visit our (Eli, Zene, and I) favorite internet shop. I might as well play some games such as Lol (League of Legends) but then unfortunately I could not access my accounts both on Garena and Steam. Instead of ranting about it, I made new accounts instead. I might as well play games when I get home.

After few minutes, my aunt called. She was pissed off that I was still not around. I told her I am already heading to the terminal. The traffC was just so bad.

I was asleep for almost the entire journey but I only woke up on bus stops for passengers to pee or be relieved. I tried to be like this as much as possible, drinking small amount of water and eating less I just wanted to say that @lola.imma was correct. The green picturesque view og Bukidnon is great. From my years of travelling along this province since my childhood, I could really say there is nothing not to love. the thing is that I easily fall asleep whenever I am on a trip, even on a ten minute commute heading downtown that is why would always be difficult for me to travel alone.

Usually, whenever I travel for long hours, I opt to wear comfortable clothes. I do not fancy for an instagramable look. Vanity is okay but I do not think I could trade comfort over that it.

Instead of trying to look cool, lovely, alluring, or whatever that is, I prefered to be laidback-- eyeglasses on, messy hair (not on bun), oversized green t-shirt that I bought from Brazilian missionaries I met last time in Kuala Lumpur, lame jogging pants, and a slipper one size bigger than my foot.

I opted for this attire since I want to curl on the bus seat. I cannot imagine sitting pretty and then the moment I wake up, I would ask for the bus driver to stop because my stomach is not feeling well. As they say, prevention is better than cure.

Or so I thought.
