MY SIGNIFICANT HUMAN EXPERIENCE

It was still four o’clock in the morning when a boy from the tourist class went out to the balcony of a boat to watch the sun rise. That boy was I. I was on my way to Butuan City to spend another summer vacation again with my cousins. I was very excited on the boat. I cannot even sleep. At last, after how many days of waiting for classes to end and for CWTS training to end, vacation has finally come. I slept on the boat at around 12 midnight and woke up 4 o’clock in the morning. I cannot really wait to see my cousins again.

First day of May 2006, I arrived at Butuan city. I saw my cousins and hug them tightly. I want to tell them everything I did before summer vacation. I want to tell them how much I miss them.

Everyday, my cousins and I play computer games together. We also joined a basketball summer league but unfortunately, we failed to make it to the finals. We play and practice basketball together everyday because I know we will be apart again sooner or later. I did not allow a day to pass without bonding with them. I always make sure that everyday is a nice day to remember. I did not even join the crash course in calculus because I was too busy playing and bonding with my cousins.

Did not notice that I was staying in Butuan for a month. I thought it was it was still a week. Time goes by so fast. I have to go back to Cebu because enrolment is going near. Inside my head, I kept on thinking on what am I going to do after I will arrive in Cebu? My life would be very boring and everything will change back to the usual like waking up early and ride 13C to go to school.

Then came June 3, 2006. Time to pack my bags and say my goodbyes. When I was at the car with my cousins while going to the port, everything was just fine and happy. It was like I was not going to leave. It was just like going to the mall with them. But when we arrived at the boat where I would stay again for a night, I realized that I would be alone again then tears fell in my eyes. I will not be seeing them again for a year but hey, I forgot I still have my friends in school. Even if I am no longer with my 3 cousins, I still got a thousand of friends and a my girl friend who is always there to fill up my lonely days.

My summer vacation ended fast but the experiences and memories I had still continues to grow in my heart. Then back to school again and I realize I do not only have 3 friends but a thousand of them and a special someone in my heart.
