| | Psychology students meets Corregidor!
It was something that most of us never expected. I mean some even went there without bringing anything but the cellphone and some money. We boarded the ship by around 10:30 and we arrived there by noon. Then we had lunch and after lunch we strolled around obviously enjoying the strong winds.
We then rode a tram going around the island and we ventured into the dark tunnels that were used during World war 2, climbed up the light house, hiked around and of course took hundreds or thousands of pictures. We also had a walking tour at the Malinta cave and we really enjoyed ourselves.
Then it began:
We boarded the tram to listen to what the tour guide has to say. He said that we won an overnight stay at the island. Many if not everyone thought that he was joking. But then he became serious and then we realized that he was not kidding that we will be spending the night at the island.
When we came at the place where we ate our lunch, our profs ushered us in and arranged us by section. We were there waiting confused and worried. Then it was explained to us that the authorities did not allow the ferry to go back and pick us up due to the strong waves. The group before ours was stranded on a nearby island so we have to stay whether we like it or not. Some are shocked, others started to cry while others, rushed outside to get a signal for them to contact their parents.
I was one who rushed out to attempt to contact my parents asap. Well I managed to send them a couple to text messages telling them about what happened. they tried to call which was no use since majority of the students are trying to contact their parents *agawan ng signal.* then the presidents of each class went to get the keys and the room assignments. while we waited there were a few problems:
- no extra underwear! I mean we didnt expect this
- everything at the hotel is too expensive!
- no toothbrush!
- no cellphone charger! T_T kailangan tipid todo sa battery ng phone
- no slippers
Luckily, i have an extra shirt with me... :))
we had dinner
I called achi helen :))
then we went to our room... it was way too small and 6 of us are cramped inside
but we managed :))
then we had thought for a long time wether we should take a bath or not
we eventually did
then a "creepy" experience...
*yiick!
then i went to the bed with my phone, mp3, and book
then after a while hannah came in
asking about the creepy experience
*yiiick!
then after a while I finally slept.
woke a couple of times as my roomies have told me
woke up finally at 3:59 am *seryoso!
then I could no longer go back to sleep
went around the hotel and saw some already awake
then went back and forth around
had breakfast at around 6 am
went outside to see the view
my parents called me
then went back to the hotel to prepare stuff.
then left for manila at around 8
then we came back to manila before 10. :)
this is the first that a group of students got stranded at Corregidor Island. wheeee.... :))
we survived! :D
