Day Off Surprises

Hola beautiful souls!

Today was supposed to be my off duty from work, but, I have an important errand to do out of town, so I'm a busy bee, and my weary soul will be hitting the sack as soon as I finished composing this posting for today.

Doze off while traveling. Why not?

Around 10am today, I went to Cagayan de Oro City for the renewal of my professional license. I arrived past 1pm since I commute on this trip and I have to endure transferring from one vehicle to another plus the traffic to reach my destination. Thank God, the bus was not crowded, and of course I sleep for about an hour along the way, just woke up when the steward called all passengers to get out and submit for inspection in a checkpoint by the Philippine police and the Covid19 Inter Agency Task Force (IATF).

The view outside going to Cagayan de Oro.

I dropped by to the mall near the office of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) for lunch. My appointment in PRC will be at 4pm, so I roam around some shops a bit before heading for the renewal. Mind you, I booked this appointment last June 2021 and I really tried to get a schedule in the PRC branch in my hometown but It was always full even until next year! Imagine?! That's how they limit the people they entertained in a day at this time of pandemic. Sigh. This schedule was the closest and it's in Cagayan de Oro, no choice at all.

A selfie in the restroom

I went there 30 minutes early and the guard allowed me to get inside the office and start processing. I was in the window with the teller for renewal in less than 15 minutes, I was asked about any certificates for the Continuing Professional Development (CPD), but I don't have any, she let me sign an undertaking to submit 35 units in my next license renewal, that would be in 2024. Goodness! I would be spending so much money for that 35 units in the next 3 years. Anyway, I thought everything was fine, however, when she noticed the photo I uploaded online was the same as last 2018, she told me to change it with a recent photo, well, I can do a quick selfie though, but, the problem now is a white background. I went out of the PRC office, and back to the mall's ladies room, I spotted a perfect spot to take a selfie. My apprehension also was taking off my face mask in a crowded place, so I made sure I'll be doing my thing alone as possible to be safe. Clicked! All good. I'm done.

Cool palm trees at the top of the building with the beautiful sky 😍

Delicious favorites

I took some snaps with my phone camera when I went out, the sun was still up and the sky is clear, one fine day indeed! The Lim Ket Kai complex is an organized place, though some shops were closed because of this pandemic situation, a sad sight really. I bought a couple of slippers for myself, and one for my mom and dad. Then dropped by to buy this famous delicacy originally from Camiguin, Vjandep pastel, it's a bun with sweet yema filling inside. It's delicious! Try it if you happen to visit Cagayan de Oro or Camiguin in the future.

Got trapped in the bus!

I arrived already late back here in Iligan. Surprisingly, when we're about to get off, the door of the bus got stuck! The door has this hydraulic mechanism, so there is no way to open it manually. The driver tried to maneuver sliding it outward, but it didn't move. There are no windows either on the bus, the exit according to the steward was through the roof. After a few minutes the terminal authorities went to our location to help, they signaled the driver to turn off the lights, and the bus engine itself, perhaps to conserve energy for a bit. I think that really makes sense because after 5 minutes, when the driver tried to open the door, it swayed freely and normally again. Whoa! That was quite of an experience for me and for everyone on the bus. I can hear some ladies saying not to ride the air-conditioned buses ever again, lol! That really was a traumatic experience for any claustrophobic individual, or for anyone trapped inside longer, glad it opened after several minutes!


The last part was the most exciting experience of the day, my first time ever to be trapped in a bus, or anything.

Have you experienced being trapped somewhere too? Like in a room, elevator, car, store, etc.

I've been trapped in an elevator several times, and it's a bit claustrophobic. Once, the power went out, and stay in such a small space in the dark isn't pleasant at all.

I haven’t experienced being trapped, but does being stranded can be counted too? Well I experienced being stranded in the mall overnight because of a typhoon. It was also my first time and it was scary because we can’t go home because of flood water outside.

Anyways I’m glad you got to get home safe😊

That yema bun looks delicious and perfect for a sweet tooth like me Dr. Though I have been complaining about my toothache, still I can't stop myself from eating sweets.

Also, if that was me inside the bus. I think I would be in panic and complain that I can't breath. I like to travel bu bus but if that thing happen, I would not be able to control my reaction. Haha

I thought the CPD was abolished already... too bad they still require it. Although it may be a way to upgrade one's know-how in one's profession, I just think it's quite unnecessary when one is already practicing. Your experience of getting trapped in the bus is quite frightening hehe, I can't remember any instance where I got stuck somewhere or I must have forgotten it.

Nku po hindi na abolish, akala ko nga wala na kc pandemic pero hiningan pa rin ako. Okay nmn po sana CPD for upgrade kaso babaan lang sana like 10-15 units lang kc mahal ng mga seminars po talaga at magastos bumyahe..

Oo nga sobra naman yung 35 units. Buti sana kung may sponsored ng government para yung byahe na lang ang iisipin hindi pati bayad.

May I ask what is ypur license about po? Hhehe.

Anyway I have experience getting 'trapped' (if that's the right term) but in PNR. It was a really rainy day because there was a storm that time. The railways in the next stations are easily flooded so we had no choice but to wait for almost three hours until the water subsided. Hahaha. Those were memorable moments of college with PUP Sta. Mesa.
