Last Saturday’s trip to Oslob was unplanned. It was one of
those random rides I took that brought me to the southern town.
The whole week I’ve been feeling, like, that I needed to get
away from the city. Work wasn’t really boring or difficult that week but the
office just felt not my place. That I needed to leave the city and have some me
time.
A quick escape, I did.
So, mid-morning yesterday; I took a ride to the bus terminal
with no destination in mind. When I reached the terminal, I initially decided
to go to Badian to see the re-naturalized Kawasan Falls; but then, I had to
wait for an hour for the next bus to arrive. Instead, I took a bus to Oslob and
reached the southern town at almost 12 noon.
I went back to the city at around 5 PM.
You might be wondering. I was basically in Oslob, how come I did not
go and watch the whale sharks? Whale shark watching was not a part of the plan. The
trip was unplanned, how come a visit to see the butandings wasn’t a part of a
non-plan? It wasn’t because I didn’t want to. I do want to see the Rhincodon
typus-es but not the ones in Oslob. I have my objections about how they handle
the whale shark visits. Plus, it’s a bit pricey—cheapskate, much?
