For
the past few days of spending moments over those northern
mountains were countless paths we’ve conquered thus far. While my heart is still at hype chasing each and every trail and highway, my pocket’s already
running dry and the clock’s madly ticking like a bomb. Unfortunately, there
came the time to finally tap out, hit the road back home, face the real world
at large, to make a little more money to refuel further, the other desires. And as
we jumped over that Baguio-bound Sagada bus few hours before the noontime, I have imagined those roads I needed to be just to be that far.
Talk about
those butt-numbing – 5-hour
roadtrip from Los Baños Laguna to Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, 4-hour
ride to Solano Nueva Vizcaya, 3-hour
journey to Banaue, 2-hour
stint to Bontoc, and 1-hour
topload trudge to no less than that place called Sagada. From there we crossed the deathly roads of Halsema, the winding roads of La Union, Pangasinan and Pampanga, the busy streets to Manila, and finally at home to Los Baños Laguna.
The rosary road path (Or am I just seeing things?) I planned for was realized.
