Prologue
My father told me that “while you’re young, enjoy the flow of the journey in life”. December 11, 2022, at Lake Cebu, I did what he said.
.......
“Nice, wake up! You’re going to be late”, My cousin Riza said. I look at her and yawn, it was so early at 2 am in the middle of cold weather and I believe my eyes were barely closed only 15 minutes ago. I sleep in Riza’s room, her mom is my aunt. I stayed at my aunt’s house for an easy way to go in campus on behalf of our Educational Campaign. The only rule of this trip is to be on time, and if you are not on time, your colleagues will going to left you and I don’t want it to happen to me. Now, It is time to proceed on my preparation. I eat a cup of noodles and drink hot milk to warm my body. I already organize the things that I’ll have to bring for travel and put them in a place that is easy to catch a glimpse of or fetch. While having a moment to myself, I am thinking for almost a decade if I am going to take a bath or not because I couldn’t be able to handle the coldness of water. However, an ending I decided I will.
After almost an hour of preparation, I decided to wake Kuya Jay Ar and Haron. They will transmit me on the campus safe and sound because it’s still too dark outside at 3 am, since I am very conservative and scared to travel alone in their place. After a minute of departure from house, we were now at Mindanao State University Gym, I saw my classmates and another department there. So basically, we are two sections carrying this field trip, the Aquaculture and Fish processing department.
“Hi Nice, good morning. You look nice today” greeted my classmate. I wear a simple outfit which is our college shirt that is inserted into my blue jeans, black sunglasses that hangle on a shirt, pink jacket, black cap, pair of blue shoes and still wearing a mask to cover myself against covid that everyone's scared to be infected. It is dark but I can see the excitement of people here at gym. My comrades are well prepared for their belongings, especially our presentation, and things for a later event at lake Sebu were already finalized.
Subsequently of waiting for our transport, it occurred on time. The four jeepneys subchronically arrived. So, everyone must be prepared at exactly 4:00 am so that we can depart and not to be consumed the time from a journey into Lake sebu. Unfortunately, you refuse to assume that everybody was on the same page as you. There is still one person among the groups that going to be on a different page. Eventually, after the arrival of a late person, we are now ready to leave. Yet, with the guidance of our powerful God; allow him to guide and bless us for a safe journey.
