I'm still suffering from muscle pains due to my trip yesterday to Las Nieves. My sister tagged me along for her field work in order to take away my boredom (well, nice try) and expose me to a different environment. It was almost an hour of riding on a habal-habal to Tungao and then a five-minute bangka ride to Florida crossing the Agusan River and then another habal-habal thing. 'Twas totally exhausting and I didn't enjoy it that much knowing that I had fever on that day before and my head was still aching for some stuck mucus in my head and nose.
Anyway, people's lives there are uncomplicated. They are too warm. I just laughed at myself remembering how I greeted their Vice Mayor. I just forced myself to smile and said "Hello." It was too late for me to know that he possesses a high position in their municipality after my sister introduced me to him. I knew my sister's look meant that she's thinking "Here's this trying hard elitist again," and my sarcastic look to her said "I told you I'm not good at meeting people and I can't make a politician out of myself. It's not that I'm an elitist. I am anti-social in a way that I hate social people. hehehe."
Generally, it was a nice trip. I just took my sleep while they where having a meeting with the Municipal Cooperative Development Council.
We arrived home at 6:30 p.m. and I was ailing for my body pains. Good thing our neighbor is a good masseur. =)
