While travelling, there are circumstances that we cannot control no matter how much we prepare and anticipate all the possible outcomes. In such cases, one should be creative enough for possible solutions. Luck is very helpful too. Just hope that you have lots of it. ;) We started our day early. I think our call time was 6am. Our planned itinerary was to tour Libuton cave and if there’s enough time, tour a Dipolog waterfall. We should be back by 4pm to catch a ferry going to Dumaguete.

Later on, Tiger Airways posted a seat sale of SIN-KVB so we booked a one-way flight

You get atleast 40% extra space on your bag when your things are tight in these zip lock bags. Before, I would only zip lock my undies, but since these things are efficient, and reusable... I started zip locki
