YBL Buddies in Cagayan de Oro - Bukidnon

YBL (Yellow Bus Line), the only means of transportation during our highschool life. YBL Buddies; Chytzy Galvez from Carpenter Hills, Juvy Demonteverde from Bo. 8 and me from Crossing Rubber.

The 3 of us have developed a certain bond that despite separation and distance, we remain friends, with a simple smile or a look in the eyes we knew what it means right away.

After High School Graduation Chyts took-up BS Biology in MSU GenSan, Juv took-up BS Psychology in NDMU and I took BS Management in UP Visayas. We have our new set of friends then, but still the friendship is there keeping us together.

10 years have past, Chyts works in Dubai as front desk officer for a British company, Juvy became a Guidance Councilor in our alma Mater, part-time teacher in NDMU and took up Nursing, while I work for the PLGU of Sarangani, take -up LLB in MSU Gensan and started my own fashion boutique. We might be have our own life now, but we share the same passion......traveling.....we want to travel the world.....

And  we have to start it now, CDO-Bukidnon Trip......its an 8-hrs trip from Tacurong...we meet up at YBL Terminal, 6 AM sharp as planned, but of course may late pa rin.......CHYTZY GALVEZ late naman, hehe, we're lucky enough that when we get to Tacurong Terminal there's still an Aircon Bus to Cagayan.

Its the start of our 8 hours ride to CDO, first stop Kabacan, and Juvy got pissed off of the vendor, sinong di maiinis nito;"O palit na mo kay ang sa likod namalit na tanan, kamu nlng wala" to passengers in front, "O palit na mo kay ang sa atbang namalit na tanan." Haha hows that for a marketing strat.....for another stop, to sanitize at Old Damulog, first barangay in Bukidnon. after 15 minutes we stop for lunch in Old Damulog, then sleep again for hours until we reach the Golden City of Friendship, Cagayan de Oro City, 3 friends in the city of friendship, ngayn ko lang naisip to.....

While in CDO we stayed with Chyts' friend , Aubrey Ucat or "Brey,"......thanks for taking care of us, MAMA, Brey, Aloha, Pia and the rest of Ucat family... we arrived in CDO around 4:30 PM, rest for about an hour, went to SM to meet up with a highschool classmate and friend, Jennifer "Totoy" Gaturian, soon to be bride....after shopping for a few things we went for videoke at Green Box, rest by 12:00 MM
