I know it might seem like I didn't enjoy it, but that as really far from the truth..
There was a lot that did get to me and things about the Philippines that I loved. I loved seeing the views from the outskirts of Barili, enough so to mention it to Rizza that we should come and visit often.. The genuine smiles I got from people I did not know.. The people I got to meet, and share a meal and a laugh with..
I guess the fact I was ill for most of my time there (okay, nasty cough), as well as not free to wander about (although I know and understand why) had led me to feel bad about a lot of things. Valencia, Bukidnon is a city people just don't go to visit! Unlike Bohol or more tourist/traveler friendly places, Valencia is a place people only visit to see friends or family, or on business.. But, even so; I enjoyed the place to some extent. It was different and for that it was good now that I think back. I enjoyed Barili more, but perhaps that was because for the few days I was there, each day had something for me to do
Next time I go, I think more time wil be devoted to seeing the beauty of the islands that is slowly being eroded.. Bohol or some other place, but with just me and Rizza
