2:15 PM: Fresh from Hospital Duty (so I was in uniform) I saw kuya bobot (KKP FPO) at the canteen having his very late lunch. I made lambing to him so he'll libre me, and he did. I also kept bugging him on how I feel sooo miserable of not being able to join the RSLP team at Sumilao for I really wanted to go. I asked him when and what time will he join the group there, then he said around 3pm of the same day. Then the craziest idea popped out from my puny wild mind... "Kuya bo! uban ko then uli lang dayon ko! dungan lang mi ni ate barbie... pleaassseeee.... " After mumbling reasons why he should let me, he was finally convinced and so off I went to change from my uniform.

5:00 PM: the bus for sumilao left.

7:00 PM arrived at Sumilao. We were welcomed by ate barbie, kuya doodz and ven at the highway... I was so excited to see my foster family and meet my playmates (almost all the kids in Sumilao! haha) to have a lil game. To my dismay, kuya doodz kept on telling me that there will be no more bus after 8 PM. I got totally scared (FOR I STILL HAVE A DUTY THE NEXT DAY AT 7 am!!!), so I changed my mind, instead of extending till 9PM I resorted to going to the freedom hall, meet Nanay there and some of the kids... and after barely 10 mins of interaction, off I went to the waiting shed. HUHU!!!

I went to Sumilao (a 2 hour trip) just to experience a 10 minute interaction with my foster family and some of the Sumilao Kidz!!! Imagine that?!?! But the almost 15 minute stay was such a heart warming experience! What a music it was to hear the kids in Sumilao call out my name, "Ate mel. ate mel! Dula na pud tah!", sweetly knowing that they still remember me very well! And what an ecstacy it was to have hugged my nanay there after 1 year!

10 mins of interaction, 15 minutes in the land of Sumilao, an eternity of a sweet memory I will always cherish. I did not regret spending much of my time travelling just to go there even if it did cost me a lot! No amount of money could ever buy the immense feeling I felt with every second I was there... overflowing.

But I had to hurry back home for I did not ask any permission at all from my parents. They totaly had no idea I was miles and miles away from home! haha. But thankfully I got home safely, and so I immediately wrote this. I know it's worth to write and keep.

What could be more crazy than exchanging 10 minutes of interaction, to 4 hours of bus ride and a 260php immediate cut-off to a weekly savings???
