a trip to remember

THE FIELD TRIP

August 27, 2010. This date has been significant to my high school life. That was the day that I need to wake up too early for the sake of an enjoyment, in a different place other than my hangout places. In short, August 27 is the day of our FIELD TRIP.

I woke up that day an hour ahead of the usual time. My routine was not the usual, either. only a few rice and a hot drink. No taking of baths, just a clean face towel and warm water. I got all my things ready: a chart(I also used it last year for taking notes), extra clothes, snacks, jacket and my mother's phone(for pictures). Also, I got a pair of short pants and slippers(I'll tell the reason later).

I came to the assembly site, the parking lot in front of the school. The van where I was assigned, the last van(deja vu?), is late, but not much. When I went in the van, I saw some familiar faces. Some were my classmates, some are those that I know, some are strangers, and most are the same people that were the people whom I sat with last year. The vans started and we all go to the venue, Malaybalay City/Maramag, Bukidnon.

The first stop, is the Pope John XXIII Seminary. I saw that it was a little far away from the highway(it's holy, that is why). I thought we're going to listen in there, in the end we just took pictures, ate breakfast, and left. Next, we went to the Carmelite Chapel, not far from the seminary. The chapel's architecture is something I haven't seen before in any other chapel. after a short while, we left the area.

Afterwards, we went to the next stop: Bukidnon State University. There we had a short tour around(or not even halfway) the campus. Then afterwards we left.

After the university, we went to the Kaamulan Grounds. I was astonished at the place's display of nature! The place was simple, it has a few buildings, but the simplicity gives its (major, major) magnificence.

If you visit Kaamulan, you would pass first by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, which was our next stop. the place's view is a plaza, much like our own here. The Sanggunian serves as a Senate prototype, laying out laws for the city.

Then, we went to "another" school, San Isidro College. there they have a special wing of the school where the whole place resembles a hospital: ICU, wards etc. they also have replicas of the different positions of bandage wraps.

RR Spring Resort. The next stop. Also the cause of the rise of the "reremons"(ask them for further details). when we arrived, the heat is scorching! Even though, the students endured to spec the rumored "better than Waig". Actually, it has a few aces over Waig Spring Resort. We left afterwards.

And now, the most awaited! My van mate woke up after sensing that it's near. Guess what he's waiting for? Obviously, WAIG! This is the place, where we would plunge into its waters. There, we treasured every moment. Sadly, we left.

We went to Crystal Sugar Milling. It was under repair when we came. what's worse visitor numbers are limited. To be the last group is the greatest suffering. Too bad it was us. I learned a lot in that tour.

Our last stop(which should be not) is Central Mindanao University. Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, the other stops are cancelled. Even in CMU, we didn't get off our vans!

On the way home. All the vans stopped at the fruit stands. Then we resumed our journey, returning home.
