The beach is a big frustration for me because I wanted to do a trip before going to the UK but that never happened.

That plus a bus ride to Granada (about £ 19 with Alsa) would be a better option and a good deal than a slightly expensive direct flight to Granada. I searched for flights from London to Granada but I found that the cheapest flight to Spain at that time was to Madrid ( about £ 15 with EasyJet).I just miss the “me” when I’m travelling so I thought, yeah, let’s do this. I think I haven’t been myself much since coming to the UK. But in meeting strangers, you can just be who you want to be because most of the times, you won’t meet them again, or they just really don’t care if that’s who you are. But I agree with her in the sense that people who know you, they have this boxed version of you wherein if you go out of that box, they might react unexpectedly, “I don’t know this person,” and you’re afraid you might disappoint them. I think it kind of contradicts the common belief that you can be yourself around people you’re close to. She said that when you’re around people you don’t know, it’s easier to discover yourself, be more explorative.

#Memories in alhambra series
You know how humans usually conclude there’s just one reason why a person decides on something when actually, it’s a result of everything that’s happening in his or her life right now? Here are the series of events that made me think about this trip: Because of the extension, I wasn’t still convinced Plan B is going to be the reunion. That was Plan A, not feasible, so crossed that one off. Besides, we’ll have the reunion, it’ll be fun.

I was really craving for it at that moment, the karinderya type nilaga without the vegetables, full of sebo, with pieces of utok which is actually just bone marrow stuff.įriend: Believe me, I’ve just been there, even if you don’t go out, your money will go places. Me: I’ll just hide at home, and eat nilaga from the karinderya. Pertaining not only to the airfare but to balikbayan expenses as well, you know. Me: Am I crazy if I’ll ditch the reunion to go home to the Philippines for a week? FYI: I already checked airfares as well as checked my bank account.įriend: Definitely a bad idea. I immediately texted my friend who I was supposed to come with to an every-6 months-college-reunion that was the reason for this request. The June rota (schedule) was out and apart from the five-day “birthday” off that I requested, there was another two days off after that making it into a week. Disclaimer, just to manage your expectation: This might be kind of a travel guide post as I will post some recommendations but more than that, this is a travel diary with more of my random thoughts and feelings.
