on the road

i have yet to read jack kerouac's book. it was through tristan that i first heard of it.then when jan and i were discussing books that you should read stoned, he mentioned on the road. not that i ever intend to get stoned again. the one and only time i tried it just gave me three days worth of headache and none of the supposed euphoria it was to bring. which i think is good, as i try to limit my illegal activities to jaywalking.

anway... i will be on the road for the next two weeks. my stops will be ozamis, bukidnon and butuan, with cagayan de oro as my relative homebase between provinces. it has been a long time since i felt excited going on the road. my body has been uncooperative and sometimes i have a feeling it will suddenly fail on me. but at least the places i will go to have decent bathrooms (except in agusan but i think i can handle a day of suffering). i'm excited to see the kids and to see how our schools are going.

and i am really, really glad to know that the wanderlust has not died on me after all. it just gave me some rest. which i really, really needed.

all is good. despite of other things i worry about.

i love the Blue Eagles right now. I always have but this time it's great to see them really working together. My two other teams are doing quite well also. FEU on the top spot and UP improving so much from the previous years. I am so in-love with Nestor David.

and that's all for now.

anj, inggit nanaman ako sa 'yo. i miss being on the road. i hope i'd have the opportunity to get back to that sometime soon. anyway, enjoy your trip. sana di ka sobrang mapagod. ingat!

and hey, pareho tayo, i like FEU and UP too.:) but of course, at the end of the day, my loyalty is with the Blue Eagles. sana magtuloy-tuloy sila sa championship. one big fight!

hi, dante. thanks for dropping by.

i'm done with my volunteer year years ago but i'm working with an NGO right now that supports day care centers for tribal filipinos all over mindanao. so sometimes, i pass by bukidnon.

mkj: miss you din kang. kita when we kita. :)
