In 2 hours (3AM), I’ll be leaving for Cebu. When I reach Cebu, I will take a fast craft to take me to Ormoc. I’ll reach Ormoc at around 1:30PM. From there, I take a van for Tacloban City. Travel time is approximately 2 hours. Hopefully before 6PM we (now, with my daughter) could take a ride from Tacloban to take us to Ormoc… Then on the same day at 11PM, we take a boat ride to take us to Cebu. We will probably reach Cebu by 5AM the next day… We will ride a bus from Cebu to take us to Lilo-an then another fast craft from Lilo-an to Sibulan. And finally, the last ride… Sibulan to Dumagute. Phew! I guess I’ll be travelling light then! 🙂

Don’t mind the red X. Made a mistake. 🙂

That’s my route for the next 31 or so hours.

Reading The Godfather again…

Every time I read the part where the Don is shot several times, I always feel like crying. 

Optimus Prime taught me

While watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (for the nth time) I learned something from Optimus Prime.  Which part in particular? During his fight with Megatron, Grindor, and Starscream.

Sam is human. Optimus is a transformer. Their culture, race, and even their planet are not the same. But yet, Optimus gave his life to save Sam. And even when he was dying, all he could think of was still Sam. I wouldn’t say that Optimus protected Sam out of love. He protected Sam not for selfish reasons but for something much more. *you’d have to watch the movie and know the story for you to get my drift*

We protect our own. We protect those we love. We protect those who are important to us. We protect those who are weak. We protect those who needs our protection. And it’s not just people who needs protecting, I’m talking about everything and everyone around us. Regardless of ethnicity, race, form, religion, and etc.

I’m not a saint. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have a soft spot for pedophiles and the likes of them. And they don’t need protection. It’s the other way around.

So what have I learned? Read above. 🙂
