For dinner: Oatmeal with milk and bread with butter; watched TV, online surfing, watched Olympic games, washed my face, listened to an FM station to get asleep and that’s my routine every night. Tuesday, August 7, 2012, 4AM my BlackBerry rung, a sign that means I need to get up and prepare myself for the new day. Suddenly, my team mate Ara, or (I mean former team mate) because she’s under a new TL supervision now, texted me. I read it, “Papasok kaba? Sabi ni Dennis, baha daw sa Marcos Highway, walang madadaanan . . . .” (She was asking me if I will be going to the office, Marcos Highway is currently flooded and and it’s impassable).
Wala kaming pina-reserve na tutuluyan dahil halos lahat ng mga resorts na aming nakita sa internet ay fully booked na. Dala-dala ang pag-asang makakahanap pa kami ng mas murang matutuluyan, tinunton namin ang mahaba at liko-likong kalsada ng Norte gamit GPS App. sa phone. Ika apat ng hapon, narating namin ang Phi-Phi resort sa Bayan ng Morong, pero fully booked narin sila, kaya dumeretso kami sa isa pang resort sa di kalayuan – ang White Corals. Halos fully booked narin sila, pero iba talaga pag sinuswerte, may nag-backout na kostumer, kaya may nakuha kami.
