#4 Trip to Bohol

     My experience in the 1-week trip to Bohol was exceptional and somehow strange than the other trips in my life. It was summer at that time and my parents decided to go on a trip to Bohol, which is my father's native land. I was expecting it to be on of the greatest trip because it was my first time to have a week of family vacation away from our home. The day before were going, I was so excited about how will my life turn into in staying at Bohol, though I don't know if my sisters and parent feel the same way. In Iligan, we had two trips before we entered the pier, one from Iligan to Cagayan De Oro and one for CDO to CDO Pier. The trip from CDO to Bohol was a bit long and we even sleep inside the ship for that but it was actually worth when we've finally reached Bohol.

     The moment were going out from the pier in Bohol, we were instantly greeted by my father's cousin and was courted to our next destination in which we will rest there. When we arrived at our next stop, which is my cousin's house, we were given time to rest and talk about their present status and living here at Bohol. I also met my cousin's son at that time and for hours we've been also playing his toys. The day after that, I was terribly horrified by the fact that there was no Internet Cafe at that local area. I kept on searching for a Cafe at that day but found nothing. It was like the end of the world for me at that time and I even asked myself on how do these people survive from such isolation in the internet. Then I realized that maybe these people are much disciplined than the other people who live in urbanized area. Instead of using too much time interacting with people in use of internet, they do it personally. The people on Bohol is one of my inspiration in achieving discipline, but sad to say that I haven't achieve it yet. In the afternoon at that day, my family decided to go to the Mall, that is actually one of the pride in Bohol, though I forgot its name. We spend almost 3 hours staying at that place, but it was because we need to buy something which I forgot. Most of the days are actually spent outside which I considered boring because of no internet access, even the malls only have small and slow connection of internet cafe, which I find very strange. In the last days of our trip, we cherished each of its moment because it'll take a lot of time to make it back there again. We visited our cousins, and we even roamed more in the city. I met also a new cousins, in the side of my father, their names are Coleen and Veia. Before going back to CDO, we gave thanks to my cousins for letting us stay at her house, for his son who was my playmate at that week. It was a hard time to go back to CDO because I was almost used in staying there. The place was peaceful and pollution-free, than in the city where there is too much noise and disturbance in the surroundings, but still we need to go home in order to take a good rest at our very own house from the tiring yet wonderful week in Bohol.

     The trip was a bit boring but I must say that it was exceptional because of its new experience and discovery that I encountered in Bohol. My life in that trip was focused more on family than technological approach, I enjoyed that week because I have experienced a lot of things that was not introduced in the internet nor in the technological aspects. Overall, it was fun to go to trip with my family, somehow I feel special to have a complete family travelling together and exploring the wonders of life.
