Yesterday, I got the opportunity to go with my Dad, together with some business colleagues of his, and we traveled using the pickup, to Bayawan City, which is around 105 kilometers south of Dumaguete City. Before I was employed by my present company, Borski and I used to do frequent traveling to those areas, and on most occasions, I would be driving. Yesterday, however, I just drove half of the way, on the trip going there, while Dad drove on the way back.
The thing I liked about going on trips like those is the travel on the coastal roads, and the opportunity to really soak up on the beach even if only using your sense of sight, and if you were really lucky, chance upon a very beautiful sunrise or sunset. Another thing I liked was that usually, on the way home, we get to pass by some rural fishing towns, which offer freshly caught fish just on makeshift stalls along the road. Yesterday, we chanced upon long eel-like fish, locally known as “liwit”, as well as some large approximately 4-kilo tunas. Right then and there, we had decided to have fish soup for dinner, with Borski and I joining them for dinner at my parents’ home.
Come dinner time, the delicious hot soup indeed had us sweating profusely, especially so that the ceiling fan above our dining table had already reached its lifespan and was now just feebly rotating. It did give quite a long service life of more than 10 years, which is not bad at all. I wonder if they would consider replacing the ceiling fans with Casablanca fans, in anticipation of more get togethers over hot fresh fish soup. =)
