On a Saturday afternoon, I had a time to discuss all my travel plans to my mom.
Me: Ma, pag nakuha ko yung benefit ko sa SSS, maglealeave ako ng 3 weeks, lilibutin ko buong Pilipinas.
Mama: Ikaw bahala, malaki ka na. Hindi ka na alagain.
Hahahahahaha. Yes, I was dead serious when I told her that, but I think work won't allow me to leave for such a long time. While waiting for my "denied" SSS benefit (I was supposed to receive it last year pa, a few months after my cystectomy), I decided, why not make a list of destinations for this year? Who knows, I might be able to visit the places that I want to see & do the things that I plan to do.
First on my list is EL Nido, Palawan. Perfect for beach bumming. I'll celebrate my 22nd birthday here. ;-)

Second, surfing in Baler. (Still saving up for this, maybe one of these days..)

Third would be the Bangui Windmills in Ilocos Norte & the old Spanish houses in Ilocos Sur. I'll be traveling here for four days in August.

Seventh, Mararison or Malalison Isalnd in Culasi, Antique. Antique is my father's hometown and whenever I talk about this island, my parents just laugh about it. Bakit daw amaze na amaze ako sa lugar eh napaka-common na yun sa kanila. Okay, kayo na mga taga-probinsya! Because my parents live nearby, all I have to spend for is the airfare and the boat to reach this place.

Eight, surfing and diving in Siargao! Wow, finally, Mindanao! We plan to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary here (kung aabutin pa, hehehe, joke). Gusto ko sana sulitin ang stay ko sa Mindanao by visiting Davao and Cagayan Region too.
