Catching a Bus Back to Manila

As a sequel to my previous post, here's how me and my husband managed to get back home.

After attending the wedding ceremony and reception of my college friend, we headed on to McDonalds Solano. Two Victory Liner Busses passed by, bound to Sampaloc and Cubao, both full.

Since the bus that we rode on our way here is Dangwa Florida, we decided to go to its terminal in Solano. We rode on a tricycle and asked the driver to take us to the terminal. It is located at the gasoline station just across Chowking. We headed to the office, which was closed, and on which window a note was pasted:

"Office opens at 4:00 PM; All trips on April 9, 10, 11 are fully-booked; Trips everyday at 9AM and 4PM, 9PM."

We were starting to despair as we walked towards the highway, where we waited for the next bus. And along came another full Victory Liner.

We sat along a waiting shed and had one of our treasured conversations, in the midst of the 3PM heat.

Soon it will be getting late, so when another Victory Liner arrived, we prepared to be standing!

Next thing we knew we were standing inside a Caloocan-bound Victory Liner bus.
I was the one to have a seat first, as some passengers went off at Bayombong.
My husband had his seat, and sadly not next to me, at San Jose.

It was a very long trip due to road maintenance works along the way. We arrived at Camachile at around 12 midnight. It was a scary trip from there to Novaliches Bayan, then we briefly enjoyed some hot lugaw at Janet's Pares.

It was a little tiresome but still I am thankful that we finally get to kiss our awake little angel at home by 2AM.
