Travel Tuesdays: Trip to Subic, Olongapo City

I have made a few distant travels within the country. And one of that was the trip to Subic, Olongapo City. Aside from the fact that it was my first time to go there, it was unforgetable because of two reasons. One is:




1. It is an EB with Mitch, an online friend friend for seven years. First met her at a forum site. She was an OFW working in Bahrain while I was in China. Feeling the "missing pinas" bug, we tried to find pinoy connection online and thus that ended up in Kuro. She was still single when we met, actually engaged already, and when I made this trip, she already have two lovely girls.

~~ With Derelle and Mitch. Derelle is the first Kuro baby. ~~

~~ With Mel, another Kuro kapatid. ~~

Thanks to Mel, we traveled together to Subic just to have this EB.

We did not have much time to go around the city. It was even a rainy day thus we did not go to the beach. Mel and company went back that late afternoon while I stayed for the night.

The next day, Mitch sent me off at a bus stop so that allowed me to have glimpse of the city, so here are some landmarks that i took:

~~ The Rotunda. ~~

~~ Arlene's Inn ~~

I find this building interesting because it stood between narrow roads. So i personally call it a junction inn.


To me, these two places are visible landmarks that if I ever travel alone to Olongapo to Mitch, house, I can still make it. After getting off at this bus station, I will go and take a colored trike that will go to Sta. Rita. There is one color that is routed to Sta. Rita. I forgot it now but i know if i will see one, I will surely remember it.

2. Second reason why this Olongapo Trip was unforgetable, it's because this allows me to meet my son @ SM Pampanga after not seeing each other for nine years:


Circumstances does not allow me to be with him daily since August 2000. We met once the next year after that but he cannot recognize me. But this time, when we met, he was already big enough to recognize that am his mom. (after of course introducing myself to him) lol!

Unforgetable trip, indeed!
