I grabbed my luggage from the conveyor when I saw it go along the course. I pull out the handle and find my way out. Suddenly, I remembered something and I forgot about where to stay. I could be anywhere else right now, but hell I don't know where to go. Accommodations on this island could be triple expensive than in Boracay.

I paid an environment fee which surprised me before I go out. Tuloy-tuloy pa ako sa paglalakad. Kung hindi tinawag ni kuya ang atensyon ko, I would've missed it. I paid around twenty pesos for it and quickly done. 

I pulled my luggage and walked my way out. I was trying to look online kung meron bang mga hotels na hindi booked ngayong araw so I could just rest for the day at 'yong mga sa susunod na araw ay bukas ko na lang din pro-problemahin.

But most of the hotels and Airbnb I was looking are all booked at this moment—kahit sa mga susunod na araw ay puno ito. I should've just rebooked my flight to Palawan at hindi ko pa iisipin kung saan ako tutuloy ngayon. Now, I don't know where to go. Baka sa tabing kalsada na lang din ako matulog ngayong gabi and I think it's fine.

Baka may pumulot sa akin na yayaming foreigner saka bubuhayin ako and that I don't need to work for myself my whole life.

That'd be interesting, pero I wished! That's too impossible at this moment.

While I was finding my way somewhere else, napalingon ako sa isang tabi kung saan nakita ko iyong ginger man na nakatabi ko kanina sa plane. He was trying to take a picture of himself sa malaking letra ng Siargao. When his eyes shifted at me, agad akong umiwas ng tingin, but I guess something was pulling me back to him.

"Hey!" pagtawag nito sa akin.

I innocently looked around just to show that I was the one being called and then I saw him waving at me. Muli akong lumingon sa paligid ko dahil baka may kinakawayan pa siyang ibang tao and no one's behind me. Tinuro ko ang sarili ko saka siya tumango.

"Come here!" pagpalalapit niya sa akin. He even motioned his hand for me to come over to where he was standing.

Lumapit naman ako sa kanya as I don't want to be rude to him.

"Hey," panimula niya.

"Hey... and oh, I'm sorry about earlier!" 

He chuckled, shaking his head. "No, don't worry about it. I don't mind... but I just have a teeny-tiny favor, and I hope you don't mind."

My eyes squinted at his request. "Sure... what is it?"

"Could you please take a picture of me with this letter? Just take the whole Siargao thing and me, of course."

"Oh, definitely! Sure thing!"

When he handed over his phone to me, pumwesto naman siya sa tabi ng mga letter. If he's new to this place, I'm sure he is living the life. Mukhang siya lang din naman mag-isa. As I was taking pictures of him, may biglang nag-call sa phone niya so I quickly handed it back over to him. He answered the phone as soon as he got it back.
