Handle with care

“It was one thing to make a mistake; it was another thing to keep making it. I knew what happened when you let yourself get close to someone, when you started to believe they loved you: you'd be disappointed. Depend on someone, and you might as well admit you're going to be crushed, because when you really needed them, they wouldn't be there. Either that, or you'd confide in them and you added to their problems. All you ever really had was yourself, and that sort of sucked if you were less than reliable.” 
― Jodi Picoult, Handle With Care

Before we travel I carefully set an itinerary for all the things we are going to do. I even search for well known restaurants and food to try. I list down places to visit and make a budget for each. For our Ilocos trip, I had 6 revisions of the plan before it became definitive. The original arrangement was to include Pagudpud in our trip but since we have limited time we decided to skip Pagudpud and just visit Laoag and Vigan. We rode Partas bus in going to Laoag. The bus departed Cubao at around 12:00am. The bus ride was comfortable, though it felt very cold at dawn. I thought we will reach Laoag around 9: 00am for I was expecting a 9-hour bus ride. We arrived in Partas Bus Station La Elliana hotel We got a very cheap air-conditioned hotel room. Considering the very affordable price of the hotel one would not expect it to be presentable. To my surprise the room was huge. It has a clean bathroom with hot and cold water a T.V. and even telephone. The linens were also c

Be mad

Some people don't know that when they hurt you, they take away a piece of you that you can't get back. Not all people around you will understand it unless they have felt the same pain or they have given the same things you gave. Even that, the pain wont still be the same. So when your hurt, its okay to be mad, to say things to let some pain get out of your chest. Do not apologize for it, for people surely doesn't know  all the pain you've been through.  Be mad and be okay with it.

We took Partas bus in going to Vigan from Laoag. It was a  2-hour travel.  From Partas bus station in Vigan, we rode a tricycle that transported us to Calle Crisollogo. Since we have no hotel booking we strolled around the area and looked for a good hotel with a not-so-expensive rate.  A lot of hotels and inns are within the area. Your choice would only be dependent on your budget. I personally like Grandpa’s Inn. The interiors and the ambiance of the inn makes you feel like you are transported back in time. It was creepy but exciting.  The only available room when we checked are the rooms with common bathroom it is cheap but we don’t want to share a bathroom with the other tourists. We checked in Cordillera Inn. It was an old hotel with an old bed frame. It was a little bit scary but it was manageable. Calle Crisologo The street brings you back to an era of old Spanish house, where women wears baro’t saya and filipiniana. I love walking on this street. It’s amusing and r
