so when i first went there in 2004 for a leaders' training for my previous company, i never thought i'd utter the words, "i shall return," general douglas macarthur style.
the plane left at 4:20 a.m. which meant that just about the time the sun started to light up the world, the plane was landing on lahug.
it was a full day. left singapore at 11ish (bag took forever to come out of the plane!), slept the entire three-hour flight to cebu, ate a quick breakfast and changed from wee-hours-of-the-morning traveler self to i-am-so-competent-i-can-do-this-in-my-sleep accountant self, participated on an 8-hour lecture from the tuloy leaders, so 12 hours later, my backache was killing me, the smile had melted off my face, and all i could do was gaze out into the beautiful hotel-scape that holds so many memories for me from seven years ago.
as promise, i did return. and as all the memories came flooding back, i've realized that it's not only good to be back, it's great to realize how far i've gone since the last time i was here.
