Siquijor Day 1: Getting to the Mystical Island

Good things to come!

Our long-awaited Siquijor trip started at 4AM at the South Bus Terminal on February 9, 2013.

Well, that was the plan, anyway!

I did get to the bus terminal before the agreed-upon time. The rest, however, had to make a mad dash to get there fast so we don't miss the bus that was scheduled to leave by 4 in the morning, or once full. By the time I got there, more than half the seats were already occupied. Caj had just picked Ariel up and they were already on the highway, but Fred was still about 15 minutes away.

Royal Concourse

Planning for an end-of-year celebration/party/awards ceremony was tough, what with end of year exams, requirements, and graduation stuff to finish. So in one of our final meetings, the Nightingale Student Council of AY2007-2008 celebrated a year well-done at one of the buffets here in the city: the Royal Concourse.Sure, we took the money to pay for the food out from the NSC treasury.. But we did work our asses off for a whole year (almost failing and being retained --- oh, one did get retained, sorry--- missed deadlines and group activities, sacrificing sleep at times hehe), and just a little fyi: We starved during he first 3 quarters of the schoolyear because there was no money for snacks lol. So sorry if we treated ourselves, but we had fun anyway..


The pictures can show the rest. (captions next time)
