Too much anticipation

Well, im back, my old self again. I just opened my blogspot account and viola! im creating a new post.

There were a lot of things that happened lately when 2009 started. It's already 12 days of year 2009 and the year before was quite very memorable for me. I really wish this year is intended to make me happier. So far, there were no bad memories and bad decisions that used to consume my wits. This would be my year i guess. eyyy??? yippeee. Hence, i just finished creating the fare expense for our cagayan-camiguin escapade this march. I was busy chatting to a lot of friends from elementary years and my workmates before about this trip. Updating them on the plans and asking them what they thought of it. We planned on this early last year and now, it still can't believe that it be will reality soon. I just hope the people who promised me they will come would keep their word. huhuh BUt, you know me, still being optimistic, hopes everyone gets a change to hop to an island with me.

I have been drafting this itinerary for almost two weeks now. Researching the internet, asking friends for best options and scribbling my notes. I really just want this trip to be perfect and fun not just for me but for everyone. I miss philippines so dearly and my friends too. So this is the best opportunity to bond with them through the crystal waters and the cool breeze of the country side, which in this case, camiguin is the best place.

Yesterday i sent my friends in FS this itinerary and fully added expense estimation.

mga 2160pesos

activities in CDO
whitewater rafting - 700
macahambus park - zipline and skybridge - 300 if naa rapelling mga 500

i still have a lot things in mind that i need to anticipate. I promised them at a minimal cost that i will shoulder the accomodation expense in CDO and camiguin so that it won't be too much for their budget. And God is so good that camiguin beach and country club offered me the best rate they have which is FAMILY room for only 1000/night and extra bed for 200php only?.. Can you believe that? whew! i thought before it was 3k-4k a night. thanks to jackyboy of istorya.net who is so kind to quote a price like that. Hmm i think, i skipped a lot of details here. There is no info about cagayan.. hehe so sorry but well here it is. April 1, i just thought so, we need to in cagayan for the rafting plus macamhambus park adventure! I really love adventures that is why this is our first stop on our itinerary. I want to feel the rush of the spurging waters, the icy cold river 'weather and the thrill of adventure. Like everything is in slow motion, you can feel your heartbeat and your body shivers but all you can think of is "what's next"
and of course most especially see the smiles on my friends' faces.
I want to try to jump from the boat to the water without any fear of drowning if its possible through the raging waters. (of course i dont know how to swim nyahaha) Well, because of human's brilliant invention of a life vest, this is just a piece of cake for me. haha, am i too boastful? tell me, tell me now.
That's it for riverrafting, I don't want to spoil the fun. let's jump off to the zipline, skybridge and rapelling. Im super excited to try this because i just love the heights! the fear that others feel is fulfillment for me. i dont know why i think it's just because I just want to test my self to go beyond my threshold. I know, i don't fear heights. period.

We will be busy also touring around CDO i guess. Ive been to CDO for like 8 times in my life but havent got a chance to take a closer look at it. So this is my time and i hope i wont get disappointed. We will just be staying overnight then head to the island of CAMIGUIN.

I don't know what really enthralled me to go to this island, there are 7107 islands in pinas if i am correct, but this island really captured my attention. There is really a mystery why Im so attached to this. I can feel its welcoming presence and absolute peace to myself. Well, It's for me to find out why and I will update you on my next post for sure. There will be a lot of posts nyahahha.
I will cut short this because it saddens me knowing it will still be on march but time is running so fast. I just really want to go home and have a life. Escape from the life here in the UAE which is slowly becoming a routine torture. The weather, the culture and the people i abhor.

I want a place to free my mind from work and the busy life, from doubts and exhaustion, from everything! almost everything.

Hope i will find the peace i find. til here, still need to do some errands. til next time, ciao.
