Last weekend, our group invaded the peaceful, serene and friendly town of Roxas City, Philippines.
It was pretty exciting since the airport of Roxas is not as developed and as big as the airports of other provinces I’ve been to. Instead of walking through a “vacuum-like” hallway from the plane, we walked straight down a staircase from the plane’s door. The PAL security even allowed us to take photos beside the plane which I will be posting in my next article.
Since our flight was set very early in the morning, as in 5AM, we had to wake up as early as 1AM to get to the airport on time for checking-in. We were very sleepy so to speak. Fortunately,our very kind Kuya Jon treated us to a “Korean breakfast” with hot chocolate, bread toasts, and half-cooked fried eggs. I was shocked that every meal includes two eggs which means we all need to eat two eggs! That made me gagged although I loved the bread toasts with butter, cheese and sweet spread. The breakfast meal cost almost P200.00, expensive yes, but everything are expensive inside the airport.
Unlike my other trips, I always begged the Pal clerk to put me in a window seat but this time, I did not care as I planned to sleep the whole trip through which I did. Unfortunately, the nap was not enough to energize and sustain me ’til noon for my training. The result, I was asleep during the seminar up until it was time for me to talk. Gladly, my sudden burst of energy whenever I am supposed to speak did not fail me. But because I lacked slee, not oly during that day, but also from the previous nights, I looked as if I neede the best wrinkle cream in the market at 30. I hope I wasn’t too bad looking during the photo opps, you’ll be the judge when I post our Roxas City pictures.
All in all, I totally enjoy our trip to Roxas — the fresh air, the quiet and safe-looking plaza and neighborhoods, the great-tasting and inexpensive seafood, and everything else. This weekend, we will be touching the grounds of Roxas City but only to pass by since our destination is Iloilo again. But I am sure, even simply passing by this Seafood Capital, will again be a lovely experience.
