My Dad is a 2nd officer seaman. At yung barko nila ay international lang ang biyahe. Isa pa bihirang-bihirang magkaroon ng biyahe ang mga barko ng company nila dito sa Pilipinas. And so we went to Bataan nga so early Monday Sept 28. Medyo tahimik na ang panahon after the super typhoon Ondoy. Maaga kami umalis dahil baka umulan na naman at baka bahain kami sa Bataan. Pero gabi na nung nagtuloy kami sa port of Bataan. By 9:30 my dad said na naka-anchorage na sila sa gitna ng dagat. May mga joiners na muna ang inuna pero iniwan din siya. After 2 hours namin nakatayo doon at naghihintay saka pa lang bumalik ang mga bumisita sa barko. Una sabi nila 15-15 lang muna. Sa dami namin baka hanggang umaga naghahakutan sila. So Tita Cora contacted her husband, yung Captain ng ship so nakipag-coordinate si Tito Jimmy with the coastguards. Sabi nila Okay hahatiin sa 2 kami.
Sa 1st batch hindi na kami nakipagsiksikan dahil para silang sobrang atat. We were with the Asenci family, yung family ng captain. 2o minute papunta sa barko and 20 minutes pabalik. In short we aited againg for about an hour. Sumama na si Daddy ko pabalik para sunduin kami at alalayan ako. Ang kaso ginamit pa yung service boat we need to wait again for an hour. So we stayed in the car first. And by 2 am in the morning we are now to board the tug boat. Finally!
It is hard to ride the tug boat. Kailangan n timing by the wave. Pero kung gaano kahirap sumakay sa tug boat mas mahirap pala sumakay sa ship nila Daddy. Ang ganda ng boat nila parang hotel by afar and so huge! And so timing ang kailangan mo to jump into the stairs to ship that is only made of rope and steel bar. Ang hirap ng timing dahil sobrang maalon so inikot pa yung ship so we can be hide in the waves. So ayun ang galing nga eh!
By the time na nakasakay kami sa ship it was about 3 am na dahil inikot pa nga yung barko. By the time I have climbed in the boat I met a crew, newly graduate one, and oh so handsome! But I was very sleepy and weary. So i didn’t have the time to chat. And so after we have board ship i was aging moving and making me dizzy. Now I know how hard was my dad’s work. I walking in the hall pero natutumba ako by the walls . Grabe! I know now why Cindy of Fated to Love You got into the wrong room. Kasi pare-pareho ang rooms and pag-umalon, Umaalon talaga.
Ahaha! I just wanted to share to everybody!
