Schedule has been crazy ever since December started; just like how it has always been in the past years. This year's extra special since my Dad is here for the holidays after so many years. He arrived last December 7, and now it's only about 9 days before he leaves again. Yes, time flies. And ever since he arrived, we've always had somewhere to go during the weekends. So we really haven't had a free weekend that much. 

We enjoyed every bit of our stay while were at Bohol, but our third day has got to be one for the books. Sea tour!

We made our reservations for the sea tour through the guy whom we made arrangements with for our day tour. The sea tour starts at 5:30am, and once again, our guide/boatman, Kuya Dodong, was on time! We didn't know how we were going to get out of the hotel, since the front door was locked, and there was no one at reception. Good thing there was this bell thing, and someone opened the door for us.

Day 2 was reserved for our Countryside tour. One of our officemates, who was also there during the same weekend, gave us someone whom we could contact for the tour. We heard their tour was good, and for a very affordable price (we paid 2,000, not including the entrance fees, lunch at the river), so we made our reservation.

We were picked up at the hotel at 8am. The one taking us to the tour was very prompt! He was already there while Casey and I were still eating our breakfast. We hired a car, but the guide/driver said that all the cars were already out, so they let us use an Innova instead. Good thing there was no additional fee. =D

I have always thought of when will the time come that I'll be able to have my first plane ride. Or that I'll be able to travel to other parts/provinces in the country that I've never been to. I honestly didn't think it would come this year.

Cebu Pacific has always had promos here and there, and my friend and I were lucky enough that we were able to book flights during their Zero fare sale last June. I braved the very challenging task of checking for available dates for different destinations, until finally, we decided on one.

Destination: Bohol
Dates: November 13-15

This was my first plane ride. This was my first time at an airport. This was the first time that I'll be having a personal out of town trip without my family. This was both our first trip to Bohol. This was really exciting! One post wouldn't be enough, so I'm doing one for each of the days we spent there. :)

It's funny how we become friends with some people.

Some you meet during the first day of school. You'd think at first you wouldn't get along well, but in the end it turns out they become one of your closest friends.

Some you meet along the way, from different places, different groups. They become acquaintances, people whom you greet along the corridors, and then you become close to some, but lose the others as well, and you start to hang out.

Some you meet through a common friend. You click with some, but not that much with others. You might even become closer than your friendship with the common friend.

Some you meet through technology. Either you both have interest in it, or it was thru the use of technology that you two were able to meet. And surprisingly, some stay as your friend, while the others remain a stranger.

Others you'll meet at that one place, won't be friends at first, then you meet again at another place, and then get to know each other more, or talk with each other more, and you realize that you get along well with each other. They now become one of your close friends.

Sometimes it really doesn't matter how long you've known a person for you to become the closest of friends. It's also about how you treat each other, how long you're willing to stay as friends and who's going to be there when the going gets tough. :)

You may start losing some but as you go on meeting different kinds of people and going to different places, time and time again, you can make new friends and create a different story with each one.

And who knows, among one of those friends, someone becomes more than just a friend. :)
