CHALLENGE: One Siling Labuyo in Cabanatuan Part 2

Now, let's rejoin the action where we left off and while on the road to Nueva Ecija, it's getting darker in here and with the mix of the devastating winds and heavy rainfall done by Typhoon Labuyo.  I know it's scary, right?

After several hours of nightmare, the rain's becoming from strong to moderate and we stop by to our nearest Walter Mart Gapan branch to find something to eat.


While in Walter Mart, we chose Chowking because we didn't have a choice and it's quarter to closing time.


Oh look! It's Ser Chief! Hi Ser Chief! Wow, guess we've been watching too much "Be Careful" episodes, eh? That longest running daytime "slice of life" TV drama, we kinda got carried away...

Anyway, no time for blabbermouths. It's "nom nom nom" time. 


After a quick meal at Chowking, it's time to head through our destination in Cabanatuan. It's an hour trip ahead and we're nearly there.

In just hours later, we arrived from our destination in Cabanatuan where we are going to spend our night in here. Sadly, when we arrived, the path's been moderately flooded but we managed to get through the flooded path.

As we arrived at the place our grandparents temporarily reside, I noticed that they have watched the final round of the FIBA Asian Cup where GILAS got "nuked" by Iranians. I know, right? But still, we're so glad that GILAS is now part of next year's FIBA World Cup in Spain where they'll be competing against the world's elite basketball teams.

Anyway, enough about that. What are doing right now?




THE NEXT DAY...


While Labuyo's in full swing, Mommy and Daddy went to the bank and then to the dentist whereas me, Ate Elise, and Baby Irvine have to stay indoors. We are busy recharging our stuff, even our reloadable Wi-Fi. I, for meanwhile, am trying to kill my boredom with this...


Yes. That was me, reading "Diary ng Panget". I got the first one, and I'm looking forward to buy part two of this love story.

Meanwhile, when Mom and Dad arrived, one of our relatives arrived.


That's Ninong Monching, one of dad's close pals.

After a long chat, it was time for us to head back home but Dad had other plans... He had to visit a dentist somewhere in Bulacan. So, with so much hassle and with Labuyo's in full circle, we packed ourselves and head back to...well, Bulacan for some dentistry issues.

But first, we stop by at 7-Eleven to buy something and this is what my Mum bought for me...


Bacchus, the Korean rip-off of Lipovitan.

Okay, enough about that. Let's fast forward a few hours later and then, we're in Bulacan in which the dentisy is near Tata Epoy's house.

Meanwhile...


Stuck in boredom, we're waiting for Daddy to get out from the dentist and after that, another boredom kicks in because of the long chat with themselves.

After the long chat, we're finally headed home. Yeah. Finally. We're heading home now and despite the APV's reliability and suspension issues while we are in the expressways, we remain quiet for now.

Before we reached through SLEX...


We stopped by for our CR break and then backto our  normal trip back home.

Moments later, we arrived to Parkhomes Subdivision and yes! We're home, safe and sound. We survived Typhoon Labuyo and the issues from the entry-level Suzuki APV we've rented. Phew...

It's so scary taking a road trip to a province despite facing a powerful typhoon in our sights but hey, looks like we made it! Thank heavens for our safe journey!
