EOP .
I woke up before 3.30 and got up at 4.25 am. After having myself fully ready, my dad and I left the house at around 5.00 for our EOP (educational outbound trip a.k.a field trip ). Around past 6.00 , our bus left the school. We were going to Biak Na bato located in Bulacan. My seatmate was my bestfriend
Neil (My pare). It was a long trip. We stopped in a gasoline station in
NLEX. We went around first looking for Neil's crush and ended up buying food in
KFC. I saw cute guys. Yeah. At first sight, I thought they were foreigners who speak pure English. But I was wrong. They were maybe Fil-Ams or whatever speaking the Filipino Language. While on the bus, our facilitator,
kuya Oj, was talking to us. After the stop over, we continued our journey. After an hour or so, we arrived the location. Boefore we had our adventure, we had a little warm-up exercise. After, we already went on. We first entered the
Tanggapan cave. it was where the katipuneras welcomed their new members and register and everything. At first, I thought it was just as simple as walking on the fields and entering a cave with a wide entrance. But while we were walking to our next stop, I found out I was wrong. It was really difficult. Our shoes were full of mud. it was really muddy out there. The next cave which is
ambush cave was the
most difficult cave of all. It was the longest, darkest, muddiest and stonest(got it?) and scariest they say. Muddiest to the point that some of the soles of the shoes of my classmates were removed. After that cave, we were really really dirty. Our pants, shoes, shirts and hands full of mud. The next cave was the
pagamutan cave then lastly the
imbakan cave. After the 4 caves, we went back in our bus and ate our lunch. After our lunch, we went to
Biak Na Bato National Park. We first walked until we reach the
rapelling site. I was about to experience how to rapel but then I wasn't able to. Only 10 students were allowed to rapel. Since I only gave my letter of consent the day itself, I was out of the list. The students not allowed to rapel just went
river wading. And it was a lot of fun. After that site, we again walked and walked and walked until we reach the
Paniki Cave. It was a cave where bats are found. When we were there, they were like having a party. Lol. After the paniki cave, we stopped by a very
big tree. At first we thought it was already cut but then we were wrong. It was still alive. It was 300+ yr old. After the tree, we went to the
cave going to Aguinaldo's kitchen before. We also had our
last river wading there. It was a deep underground river but we were only allowed to stay on a very small area. After that, we already went back to our bus and changed our clothes. Yeah we changed our clothes in the bus. After, we already left the site. We had our stopover in front of stores. After that stop over, we already went home.
To sum it up, we had a very
MUDDY EOP ! I really enjoyed it (except for the fact that .. ). Til next EOP.
