The Barge Ride

by Bogie

When I was still 7 years old my mom took me to Camiguin Island to visit her co-teacher there. I was so happy with that trip because I have realized that the world is too big and there are still places I haven’t been into. But there’s one thing I didn’t like about that trip… the barge ride. It is because I was so scared in climbing up that barge as I could see the sea water under. My feet were trembling and I couldn’t anymore move because I was too nervous. My mom told me to move and assured me that I will not fall but still I wasn’t moving. The porter came in and carried me up to the barge. Ha..ha..ha.. The people saw me and they were laughing. I felt so embarrassed at that time and promised never to be scared again. When we went home, we rode a barge again and that time I wasn’t looking down anymore as I climbed up but my feet were still trembling but I made it without the porter carrying me. Anyway, I guess all kids have passed this stage of being too fearful but what is important is we are able to overcome all our fears.

A Glimpse of Camiguin Island, Philippines

by Bogie
I can say that my visit to Camiguin yesterday was only very very short. Imagine, I was there for only two hours and the rest of my time was spent on the barge and on the bus. It was really a rush travel since we are catching up with big time people to sign up the documents. Thank God, hubby has accomplished his mission. The photos below doesn’t give you the exact beauty of the Island since I only had time to take pictures at the barge. ha.ha.ha.

Arriving Camiguin Island – I was wondering why the people are in a hurry to go down the barge that is why I stayed behind them but after that I was so shocked when all the porters are coming aggressively, but they were so courteous to say “Excuse Me”.

Leaving Camiguin Island – We were so blessed to have arrived at Binoni at about 3:30 pm when the barge is about to give a go signal. When the people saw us, they shouted “hurry up! hurry up! If you missed that barge, you will have to wait by 6:00 pm for the last trip. Thank God we made it.

Approaching Balingoan – I don’t know what’s the name of this island near Balingoan, but a lot of people visit this place just for an outdoor activity. When you’re in the barge and got to see this island that means you are already near Balingoan.

At Camiguin Provincial Capitol

by Bogie
We’re here now at Camiguin Island and as I have said it’s not a trip that everyone is excited about. We’re here at the Provincial Capitol of Camiguin because hubby was tasked to present an important document to the Governor. While he was there at the Governor’s office doing his transactions I was a bit bored waiting for him. I was trying to entertain myself and try to roam around the Capitol. I saw a lady and asked here if there’s an internet cafe in the nearest vicinity. I was so surprised that she offered me her computer in the office. I was a bit hesitant but she insisted. I have no choice and use her computer but only less than a minute becuase I’m afraid what will other people in the office think of me.

I went out of her office and as I roamed around I was glad to find out that the Capitol has an internet cafe. Wow… this would mean that I will not be bored anymore. ha.ha.ha. So, that’s why I’m here in their internet cafe. Actually it doesn’t look like an internet cafe but it looks like an office and guess what, I look like an office worker here… he.he.he..
Anyway, hubby texted that they will go to the Provincial Engineer’s office now. So, I will just have to wait for him here. 🙂
