It was during the 3rd week of January that I had a week-long vacation in Aklan. I was pretty much excited because I was really looking forward to going back to Boracay and watching Ati-Atihan festival.
The trip going there was not as uneventful as I expected. I took the half-day off in the office to take an afternoon flight to Kalibo, Aklan. I arrived there quite early in the airport and I had to wait for another two hours or so. While waiting, I received a call from my dad telling me that I got a call from Singapore and they were trying to contact me in my cellphone. It was pretty unusual for me to get a call from abroad.
After a long wait, I boarded the airplane and after 45mins of a not-so-shaky ride I was in Kalibo airport. I texted my friends there who came in much earlier there and asked where the nearest mall is because I wanted to buy disposable Kodak underwater camera. Gaisano mall was about less than an hour ride from the airport. There I got the call from Singapore, apparently, they wanted to talk to me because they wanted to interview me for a job there. I was scheduled for an interview as soon as I got back from my trip (Eventually, I did get the job from Singapore but thats another story).
It wasn’t hard to find my way around Aklan, the jeepney ride going to Ibajay was okay. July and May were already there at the waiting shed when I got down from the jeepney. After exchanging hello’s and hi’s and a bit of teasing, I was led to the house the we would all be staying in over the weekend. The house was a big pink bungalow with two big room with a large living room. For the next five days, this will be my home…
