Good evening everyone!
This blog of mine is a throw back story of mine was happened last year 2020 in mids of this covid-19 pandemic..but before we completed all the documents we've waited 2 months for us to finally we have the go go go confirmation from our city to our destination. a lot of travel document and permits need to comply before the travel date.
This is my photo captured by my wife
Also traveling with me is my older brother and his fiance.
It tooks 2.5 hours for us to reach pier 4 in manila from here in Olongapo City. We travel around 2am and we arrived at 4:30am.
And after long line of passengers and strict protocol we've finally step on the deck.
We've finally made it after long months of waiting..
This is our first route.
After 18hours of we finally see some island and it means we're closer in our destination.
This is the GPS photo that point how far exactly we are.
We're arriving in port of Bacolod city which we need to take a bus going to escalate negros occidental..
After long hours of travel we thought we could directly take a bus for our final destination. But the problem of travellers like us is we need to undergo some measurements like swab test and we need to go where all the passengers have to take the test.
This is were the local government put us. In the middle of nowhere a housing village that's turn quarantine facilities and we've waited 7 days for our local government to pick us.
And finally our service is arrived and pack our things and weve all thought that we may rest in my brothers house after this long trip...but the next problem is we need to stay 14 more days in next quarantine area which are actually near in my brothers house.
So...we have no choice after all. but to follow the health protocol..we have our own room and separated from others.
This building were we are is actually a new build market that the local government used for all homecoming residents of negros.
After looooong 35days in quarantine facilities and finally no symptoms of any signs of the virus the local health office give us the good news that we finally make our way home.
Now we can relax and enjoy the good food and lay our body in soft and comfortable bed..but before I do that I need to have a conversation with my coco and saying goodnight and lots of love.
After a week we decided to travel in one of the famous city when it comes in tourist destination specially in there cultural yearly event.bacolod city!
First stop the municipality of Bacolod city.
And they have also this huge pool for beautiful collection of fish.
After travelling other cities and one month of staying in negros my time for going home is just a day left and I need to book my Air ticket before the lock down happen again.
And finally have my ticket and other documents that needs on my flight are been secured and I'm waiting for my flight.
This story.. travelling.. hours of waiting turns to days..days to month..
Even though we tired from long days of travel and waiting. We've also seen the goodness of being a live..we actually communicate by sharing our thoughts and we see our faces having the smile of the year haha..a simple smile that make us stronger and the ability to finish what we've started and faith give us the will to make this bond get more stronger...
I will miss this time..I will miss my brother and his fiance and specially the time we been through..
Never regret the time and the people who been the reason for your downfall..the people who not believes in your character and personality..or the time you experience the most negative and bad times you have .. believe in the power of our creator..
This is all been written way back and has to be done..be thankful in every way..in every day we have left.. cherish all the good memories that make us stronger..a simple smile that last long..
Again thank you for reading my throwback life experience of travelling and hoping to see you in my comment section and let me know your story as well and thoughts..

Hmm that's a lot of waiting and waiting. Perseverance test. At least you have experienced it.
This pandemic has slowed down our itineraries but it's the least we can do. Better follow the protocols to keep you safe.
Such a wonderful story my friend. Those times were the hardest to travel.
