My First Scary Plane Travel

I and my fellow CDObloggers travel Manila today. Some of us will attend the WordCamp and the others are going to spend weekend in Bagiou. This was my first time to travel Manila and my first time to travel by plane. I have heard some funny and unforgetable experiences from cousin and relatives on their first travel by plane already and now I finally had my own stories to tell too.

My first experienced was scary... as in very scary! 

We travel through Cebu Pacific Air 390 and boarding time was even delayed in a couple of minutes. When were in the air we experienced turbulence since the weather was not good. The moment the plane starting to get a little bit of shaky I was really scared. Oh my gosh! We even experienced a 3 seconds rush. Its like the plane is avoiding something and just wheeeewww... I cant really explained! Some of the passengers already vomited because of that sickly feeling. 

I know what we had experienced just recently was not really that scary to regular travelers but man that was way to much for a newbie. 

Anyways, that's it folks I'm going to rest now. I just hope when we go home to Cagayan de Oro the same experienced wont happen again. :-)

 

KMPH Camiguin Island Escapade

May 8, 2009, KMPH Web Solutions celebrated its 2nd Year Anniversary, and as part of the Thanksgiving celebration we went to Camiguin Island. We left Cagayan de Oro at 3:45am in the morning and arrived around 7:30am.


After we arrived at the Benoni Port, my workmates headed to the house in Mambajao and rested, while I dropped by at my grandparent’s house. We were supposed to be going to Mantigue Island that same day in the afternoon but my boss has changed his decision. We spent our celebration at Ardent Hot Spring. We ate lechon and took a deep at the hot water flowing freely in the pool.

In our second day in Camiguin, we spent the whole day to roam around the island and toured the best and mostly visited tourist destinations. First stop was the famous White Island. We rode a boat locally known as “Banca”and reached White Island - and after an hour of bathing and taking pictures we drove back to the main island of Camiguin. Our second stop was at the Walkway. We also took pictures there and bought some souvenirs since there were souvenirs stores in the area. The third stop was the Sunken Cemetery and we just took some pictures of the cross monument from a far since we did not ride a boat to reach the cross. Fourth stop was Santo Niño Cold Spring. We ate our lunch there and plunged at the very cold pool. Fifth stop was Guiob Church also known as Old Church Ruins. There, we enjoyed the nice view and historic place. Lastly, we visited Katibawasan Falls which was just like the Santo Niño Cold Spring. The water in Katibawasan was cold and it really frozen us.


After Katibawasan Falls we drove back to our headquarters which happened to be the house of my boss’s friend. Some of us took a rest while others prepared our dinner. After dinner we uploaded our pictures from our cameras using the Laptop of one of our workmates. We then watched the slide shows of the photos and were very noisy and eager to see each others photos; we laugh and bully each other as we saw the photos.

In our third and last day of the vacation, we left Camiguin Island with our happy faces, for these unforgettable memories in our lives that we have gone to Camiguin Island like real visitors did. We got bonding moments that strengthen our team and the chance to know more of who we are outside the four-wall cafe where we work. A short vacation we truly enjoyed.

Happy 2nd Year Anniversary KMPH!
