Cagayan

It’s been almost one week since my escape from stressful reality. I feel like blogging my experience before the feeling fades away. Three days of temporary leave from home and school, how I wish our stay in Cagayan was longer. But longer stay would also mean that errands would also keep on queuing, much more than the requirements I need to accomplish as soon as I was back home.

[Quiz Show]

We attended some ICT quiz bowl that was held at LimKetKai Mall, Cagayan City on September 20 around 2pm. It was participated by 18 schools in Mindanao. The quiz show experience was truly memorable- the setup was remarkably high tech! The fact that it was held in a mall, could I say that I felt like a star for a short moment.  It would have given me more pride if we brought home the trophy.  We placed 4^th, not bad though. Actually if it were not because of my excellent partner, Niel, I doubt we could obtain that place. To tell you honestly I felt discourage at first, I don’t know how everybody who supported us would feel. Would they feel disappointed? We weren’t able to meet the effort of the faculty members who spent their time imparting their knowledge with us. [Before I forgot, I want to take this opportunity to thank everybody who gave their moral support and prayers to us. To the CSIT faculty, na todo suporta! And most especially the school for allowing us to experience this event] But come to think about it, those teams who won indeed were good! They were really inclined in IT technicalities. With this experience, God was telling me that perhaps the next thing we must learn are the more technical stuffs.

[Overall Experience]

            It seems that the trip to and from Cagayan is the most challenging one. Nevertheless, I wish to take another land trip to Cagayan someday but not the aircon bus.

            Malls in Cagayan are bigger and nicer compared to Zamboanga; however, goods are more expensive. Would you agree that the first we would more likely look for in another place is The CR? Their comfort rooms are clean, high tech and most of all free of use, unlike in here. Meals are delicious and super satisfying, actually I always feel full during my stay in Cagayan. In here, I virtually eat much lesser, and stick with veggie diet. [I would like to take this opportunity to give my special thanks to mommy Erlyn.. and Sir Eugene for taking care of us]

When my bisaya is not anymore slang, I wish to visit that place again alone. I think there are a lot of places to visit in Cagayan or perhaps I am wrong; but time was too short. If God permits, I would like to roam around Cagayan the second time around. I’ll do some crazy stuff like climbing the wall, crossing the bridge, etc… Wanna experience some adventure…hahaha.
