Firsts

It was just so liberating to have rides home from Paranaque by myself for the first time. Congrats, Self!
----------------------

I have never travelled really far without someone with me... UNTIL I reached College. It was quite surprising for some of my college friends, I know, that I was not good at directions or even in traveling alone to places. I would always need someone to guide me and be with me in unfamiliar rides. And for the record, these are the places where I have gone (SO FAR) alone for the first time, without company:

1. Going to Bacoor and from Bacoor going home (when I went to Kath's House)
2. From Enchanted Kingdom going home (Haha! Achievement!)
3. From Paranaque (from Zet's birthday celebration)

In my ride to Bacoor, Cavite going to Kath's, it was not that nerve-racking because it's quite near to our place. It's just a jeepney ride away. I was just quite nervous if I would be missing landmarks and go to the end of the ride. But it was fine, though.

Earlier, my ride home from Paranaque was quite scary beacause, I have never been to Paranaque by myself and even going home from there by myself. But hey, I am old enough. I have been too innocent of commuting in different places for so long already. It's just rightful that I explore on my own. So I picked up myself and remembered all the directions Zet and her friends gave me. I was worried that I might forget a detail and go someplace else and just end up crying. But anyways, I told the Jeepney driver to drop me off at this certain place and good thing, he did. He even instructed me the right directions on where to cross the street and which corner to ride another jeepney. So there, in sum, I got home safe. Haha.

The worst feeling I had so far was when I rode that bus on my way home from Enchanted Kingdom.  It was seriously nerve-racking. It's just that I did not let it out and make my college friends notice that the idea of travelling home by myself for the first time is SERIOUSLY killing me... or has seriously killed me. I just smiled at them as I entered the bus. But deep inside: ("Gaaaaaaaah! Freakout. I'm dying. My heart's pounding and I am really scared!" Haha.) And those times, the farthest I have travelled alone was in Bacoor, Cavite! Haha. (Napakainosenteng bata 'ko. Shame on me.)  I really thought I won't survive. Good thing, a friend of mine knows the way and taught me how and even looked for that bus going to my place. While I was on the bus, seriously, I think the best description would be... PARANOIA and PALPITATION. Haha. But again, in sum, it went okay.. and fun. :)  A unique experience once in a while.

Uh... there. I think those are accomplishments already. Uh, yes? I think those are accomplishments already. Yes, they are. Yes. Haha! Also, I would want to go to MOA by myself and go home alone, with all the uncertainties. I don't know. But it's just that I have never went there alone. Also to Greenbelt, Trinoma, and also, before, during the Christmas season,  I wanted to see the Christmas Lights display in Makati ( I wanted to go there alone, but I did not dared to because I know I'll get lost. Haha. I can just imagine myself crying going to the Police Station claiming myself lost and having had my parents pick me up there. SHAME.), also, in Taguig and MarketMarket. Hahaha.

Here's my hashtag: Let'sTravelLuzon
HAHAHAHAHA. :)) SHAME.
