An Amazing Walk

Last Friday, January 19, 2007, many projects are to be submitted. I am very proud that I already finished all the stuffs that are needed to be passed on that Friday. After our last examination, I really do not know what I am going to do. I still need to wait until 4 o’ clock in the afternoon because we are going to have a Student Council meeting. We need to finalize the plans for the Know Your School Day or KYSD that will happen next week.

I need to wait for four hours in the classroom but because of boredom; I went to Michelle’s house together with Euvic and Theresa. Euvic, Michelle, and Theresa will finalize their web design for their computer project. Theresa also typed her excuse letter for being absent in their camp. Michelle reviewed their research paper and also Euvic. They finished their stuff fifteen minutes before four o’ clock. We departed in Michelle’s house at exactly four. Because we need to go back to UP at the fastest time, we decided to ride a taxi from San Nicolas to UP. But because of bad luck, there was no vacant taxi. We walked to Carbon in search for a vacant taxi. There was still none. Then, we went near USJR hoping that there will be a taxi that will accommodate us. But what a life, we did not find any. We ran and ran and ran until we reached Gaisano South. We found a vacant taxi but the taxi was in the middle of the road. The driver was not able to see us. Again we ran and ran. We arrived at Metro Gaisano. We saw many taxis in line. So we ran to get there still hoping to find a vacant taxi but there were also many people waiting for taxis. So we just decided to walk still in search for a taxi. When we arrived in front of ‘Copy trade’ we saw another vacant taxi, but that road was not a loading area. The driver did not stop. So we were joking that we will just walk until we will reach UP. When we reached Sto. Rosario Parish, all of us was already tired. We turned left and across USC, we found a taxi we thought that it was vacant but it is not. We stopped in that place; fortunately we found a taxi that was unloading a customer. We directly went inside because we were very happy for finding that taxi and all of us were catching our breaths. The driver was very accommodating; he looked for a way where there is no heavy traffic so that we will arrive in the fastest time. We arrived at five o’ clock.

We were very thankful that the other SC members waited for us. We had our meeting and all of the plans needed were already finalized. Theresa was also able to attend their YFC meeting.
What happened on that day will be very memorable for me because it is the longest that I have ever walked. Even though it was very tiring, I really enjoyed that adventure.
