vet and spontainety are never synonymous. yet, when vet met up with college friend ms. c after work the long weekend became a big break to her otherwise mundane existence. while vet was having a very late lunch, came ms. c with the intention of dragging vet to a night of drunken session. talk… talk … talk…
ms. c blurted out: "adto ta bohol na?"
vet: tara….. sige go… btaw, serious?? as in now? what are we going to do there?
ms. c: i don’t know. i just want to relax and forget about things… i’ve been to bohol several times, but always on a business trip, never for pleasure.
vet: tana.. but wait, do you know the boat schedule going there? plus, we’ve to travel there on a budget… you know me, i’m forever on a budget because of my self-imposed mission… also, we’ve to get back to cebu by monday so i can vote. are we sure about this?
ms. c: let’s buy a newspaper and check out the shipping guide. don’t worry about monday. we’ll be back by then. i have work in the afternoon so i really have to be back here by then too..
vet: all right, so let’s hit home and pack a few things.
ms. c: tana…let’s hurry para kaabot ta sa last trip sa ocean jet. it won’t take me long to pack my things plus mag.taxi ra ko so we can get to the pier on time.
vet: haha, mag.jeep ra ko… so lakaw na ta.. where are we meeting?
ms. c: i’ll just text you. see you in a while. don’t change your mind.

voices: haha, serious ka vet? did you know what you just did? you’ve plotted your budget and a sudden trip to bohol was not in your list. punish, it’s going to put a dent on your budget for this month…perhaps, but i can still tweak my budget, it’s only been two days since pay day, so i can still adjust it.. money is nothing compared to spending time with a friend. building relationships, remember? it’s more important than mere figures on an excel file. besides, you’ve always wanted to do something that’s unplanned. hala na, carry ra lagi ni nimo… what’s the worse that could happen? <heart thumping>…
note to self: do it often. the experience and the company are priceless!!! [more pix as soon as i get my copy] [may 14-15, bohol divers resort, panglao]
