THE C CIRCLE

Last 31 October 2009, me and my buddy, Mac, went up to La Union and Baguio. It was an unplanned trip. We decided to go at around three o’clock in the afternoon already. Maybe, we just thought of how boring the next couple of days would be so we just decided to take on the trip.

We reached La Union past nine o’clock in the evening. The road to the house we will spend the night at is not the usual smooth, cemented one. The walk was exciting because aside from the fact that it was already dark and we did not have flash lights with us, we also had to walk some mud pathways. It’s a good thing, it was a full moon that night and we were able to manage our way.

While Mac was chatting with his relatives, I took some pictures of just what my digital camera can capture that time.

This is how they cook their food. I don’t know but people in the province say that foods cooked in this kind of stove actually taste better.

Alvin, Mac’s cousin, invited us to play cards before going to bed. However, since I do not know how to play “tong-its”, I wasn’t able to join them. While they were playing, I was watching some horror flicks. After several card game rounds, all of us went to sleep.

One thing nice about the place is that you do not need to use an electric fan or an air conditioner so that you could sleep comfortably. The gentle, cool breeze of the night will surely help you get that very relaxing and deep sleep.

In the morning, we hurriedly visited what used to be corn fields before Ondoy hit the place. We were saddened by the things we saw.

This is all that is left from what used to be a hanging bridge.

This post where Mac and Trix had their picture taken used to be sturdy being concrete.

However, after Ondoy devastated the place, this is all that’s left from this post
