Walk Log: Adventure #001

Ever since I introduced my love for walking, I came up with the idea of tracking down the routes in the city (or maybe in the future, of other cities I can travel to) that I have traveled by walking. Yay~

This is my first record, but definitely not the first time I walked a distance this long. Last Tuesday, June 10th 2014, I went to DOST XI Regional Office by jeep to drop off my requirements as a part of my reporting routine every semester to keep my scholar profile updated (so that I won't lose my scholarship and won't have to deal with a scolding due to a late compliance).

I'm happy to say that I belong to this awesome organization,
the only/first DOST Regional Office that holds the yearly Scholars' Congress
where DOST-SEI Region XI scholars get along and build camaraderie
through challenges that are faced by teams of scholars.
Thank you, scholar officers and SEI staff, for your hard work
in making the event possible annually!

After resting a bit on the lobby's sala set while reading articles on some awesome Filipino inventions that are practically useful in many industries, I finally wanted to go home. (But resting for a little bit more would have been so much better. Hehe.) Even before getting there, I had already decided to get home by walking.


The map shows the route by which I went home BY WALKING. It says the distance from the office to my home is approximately 1.3 kilometers, taking only 15 minutes of walking. In reality, it took me 19 minutes. Hehe. Yes, I noted the time I started walking and the time I arrived at home. Gotta improve my time, too!

I should think of my next adventure, of where my possible walking starting point and destinations will be.

Until then, my adventure record is at 001~ My first big step!

I went to GenSan

Yep. V sign for peace. Hehe.
Yay because it's not a selfie~

Last 22 May 2014, I went to GenSan. This was a sampling trip for the research project in school I enlisted myself to. What's in GenSan? Fish! Lotsa fish!

Summer before it ends: Beach outing with friends Pt3

《　Part 2

Going back to the mainland
We rode the barge back to the mainland and a jeep to the mall or BF#2's house. GF#2 lives pretty far from the center of the city and her curfew is early, so she had to go home and say goodbye to us for that day. The clouds couldn't hold in the weight of water, so rain fell while we were still on the jeepney. We didn't hate the rain, because we had already reached the shore. No, it's just that there wasn't time to think of hating the rain when all we've had for this day is fun~

BF#1's arrival
Yay! He finally arrived! There's no time to waste anymore, so we positioned ourselves for a candid group shot.

BF#1, GF#2, yours truly, BF#2, and GF#1. Still 5/6. We will be complete in the future, for sure. :)

Summer before it ends: Beach outing with friends Pt1

Yesterday was a very memorable day for me and high school friends! June 7, 2014. It was because our plan to have a beach outing has finally been realized for the first time after our high school graduation. It took us more than 3 years to see this dream come true right in front of our eyes. But there was just this one problem we have been having for more than 3 years. One member hasn't been going home from his distant university and we still haven't been together since the dawn of our college days. We didn't let this bother us since we all know we still have many chances to get together.
