What happened before?

Last year (2014), I had a flight departure at 7:20 AM from Puerto Princesa to Manila. My plan was simple, ride the RORO Night Bus from El Nido that leaves at 10PM. Arrive at Puerto Princesa at 3AM and wait for the check-in time at the airport at 5:20 AM. Fly at 7:20 AM. Simple plan but the small details were the ones that made that night miserable.

Inside Cherry Bus

Here’s what really happened. I rode the bus. The bus arrives at Puerto Princesa around 3AM. Tricycle drivers fought for my attention. Rode an overpriced tricycle ride to Chowking. Spent the remaining time drinking coffee because I was alone in a public place and I am afraid that my bags would be stolen. 5AM rode a tricycle to the airport. Check-in for my flight. Went on a coffee drinking spree again at the predeparture area for me not to sleep so I would not miss my boarding announcement. Personally experienced that coffee is a diuretic 30,000 feet above sea level.

I told myself that I would never ride the night bus again, unless I really need to.

What happened with Cherry Bus?

Last June 6, I had a flight from Puerto Princesa with the same departure time, 7:20 AM. And since I was really enjoying my time with friends I decided to just catch the night bus of Cherry Bus which leaves at 9PM and do what I did again. The benefit of having quality time with your friends really outweighs the risk of taking in liquids that enhances the movement of body fluids. Right? Right?

My mind was ready and I was hoping my bladder was ready too.

DDD Habitat Inc. at Lorega, Kitaotao, Bukidnon

This is the first part of my 2 part write-up about DDD Habitat Inc. Please wait for the second part as I’m still writing it.

The goal of this travel was to escape from the stress of work and social responsibilities and to simply relax and just get disconnected. And DDD Habitat Inc. in Lorega, Kitaotao, Bukidnon, the coolness of the place and being close to nature was just the ambience on our trip last May 30-June 2, 2014.

So after 17 hours and 35 minutes of travel from Iligan City to Cagayan de Oro City (where we had to stop for the night) then to Lorega we were finally there at 9:02 AM. This part of our travel will be discussed in detail on another post.

Note: On this post when the word ‘quarantine’ is used, it means a bus stop where vehicles are checked to prevent the spread of diseases on livestocks. So please do not panic when you read that we are in a quarantine area. We were not detained. We were happily relaxing there. 🙂


The Short Walk to DDD Habitat

We were supposed to arrive at Lorega Quarantine at around 1:00 AM of May 31, 2014 but decided to stay a night at Cagayan de Oro due to strong rains and tiredness. The real reason why we did not continue is that we do not know how to get from Lorega Quarantine to DDD Habitat. Do we have to ride a habal-habal or should we walk? For how long? What if it was raining… hard?

The truth was we weren’t really well researched around the place.

Lorega Quarantine. All Rural Transit Buses stops here to drop off and pick up passengers, and to give them time to discharge bodily fluids.

When we got to Lorega Quarantine, we met Kuya Nori (the caretaker) at one of the stores there. He was friendly and we were glad that it was him that we were meeting with. We asked where DDD Habitat was and he just pointed somewhere at the back of the store and he said that it was just a short walk. And after a quick picture taking of the Lorega Quarantine and a short pit stop at the Comfort Room (CR) for 3 Pesos/person we were all set to go.
