The Awesome Adventures of the Siege Survivors part 3

Daybreak at Dumaguete's Forest Camp was actually very pleasant.The fresh air did wonders for our restless bodies.It took a while till everyone actually got out of bed because we became rather cozy in the cabins.It would've been perfect if they provided massages hehe.

And so we finally got up to get some breakfast,nothin special really,a buffet of rice,eggs and hotdogs but it was good and it hit the spot.Then we went to get ready for our next journey.But as soon as some of the guys and I were packed,we took the spare time to really explore the camp.We got to take some nice pics of the natural beauty of the place.The hanging bridge was kinda scary to walk on coz it got wobbly but It was a great place to take pictures of the surroundings especially the waterfalls and the stream.And after a lot of pics we finally got on the bus again and went off to our next destination,Bacolod!

We were pretty excited to reach Bacolod,well we were pretty excited to be anywhere I guess.Dumaguete was just too relaxing a place for us and It was kinda good to know that Bacolod would at least be a more active place.And we were very right!

When we got to our hotel in Bacolod we were several hours behind schedule and we had a very limited time to spend in our rooms.And the Perlas Brothers gave us some bad news.Apparently there was a typhoon coming in the next day and it would likely affect the roro activities which was our means of getting to our next destination,Iloilo.And we needed to wait for news from the coast guard if they would even allow the roro's to operate.But we still had to leave for the docks very early.We did get to eat though,it was some tasty stuff,I just wish I knew what it was hehe.But it was still good =P especially the side of chopsuey!haha!long live chopsuey!Although our time there was limited,it was the night that would transform some of the guys.It was the night of the party people!

We went to the venue after dinner and what a venue it was.It was a huge club and we were seated on the second floor which overlooked the stage and the floor downstairs.A great view for taking pictures,especially when the show starts.Bacolod people are impressive,and very talented.The local bands who opened that night were some of the best we've had on the tour.We even gave them a well-earned standing ovation.They were that good!I apologize for not remembering their names though,sorry I was kinda distracted by the music to notice them introduce themselves.

We were the first TOD band to play and I felt kinda intimidated by the openers,especially coming from a couple previous lemon performances.But thank goodness we played a great set and we got the kids all warmed up.A little too warm actually.They didn't stop moshing till all the bands were done.The most memorable set would be VOC's but not because they did something radical but because someone from the audience did.I guess the mosh pit got too hot for one of the kids because he decided to take his clothes off.It was as if moses parted the red sea when the others tried to avoid that one kid's flying wingwang!Not even the bouncers knew what to do at first.Everyone was just surprised at the sight of him and his minime!But they eventually got him under control and into clothes and Rogel got his composure back and actually continued to sing again.

After the gig we had the chance to mingle with the Bacolod people and let me tell you,they are some of the nicest people we've met on the tour.They were just really friendly.We got to make lotsa new friends that night and got a lot of pics taken.Betong and Earl even lost their shirts.But alas the time came to get back to the hotel and soon be on our way to the uncertain fate of our iloilo stop.

At the hotel,we didn't get a chance to sleep.So some of the guys decided to drink their time away.And one special dude actually drank more than enough.Marts from OBS just got so wasted!He was running all over the place,coming into the rooms and jumping on the beds.He even went in our room several times where I was lying on the bed watching tv and jumped on me.And that guy is friggin heavy too!After the second time he jumped me I just decided to hang outside and avoid certain injury.Then it was time to go to the roro docks where we had to wait a couple more hours.But we sure didn't get bored there,thanks to Marts again.

Im not sure who's idea it was to pit two already piss-drunk guys into a drinking bet.Basically it was Marts of OBS versus Corps (Corpuz as Marts called him) of the TOD crew and the bet was who would last longer on the roro after drinking several more shots of rhum before the trip.Everything started really fun.The two were trashtalking each other and both took some shots of rhum.It wasn't until Corps lost his temper due to Mart's extreme trashtalking that things almost got ugly.We eventually subdued them both before anything physical happened but Marts was on fire.He didn't stop trashtalking (or talking in general) for the whole damn trip to iloilo!Yes we did get to iloilo fortunately but with the expense of having a drunken retard with us all the way.(Sorry Marts,you were a drunken retard eh =P) When we finally got to our hotel in iloilo we rushed to our rooms to get some much needed sleep.We had bunk beds and I got to sleep on the top one right next to the aircon,what a healthy choice of sleeping area.Then as we were about to get some rest in comes Marts looking like a TRex dinosaur with a blank stare in his eyes.Aj points him to the bed right below mine and he just crashed into it and thank God Almighty,he was out!And we all got some nice relaxing sleep,FINALLY!

We woke up late afternoon and were still lying in our beds when Marts suddenly sat up and asked us "Asan tayo?" He had no idea where he was or how he got there and what the hell he did!It was hilarious telling him the whole story!And he didn't believe some of the stuff we told him but when he got the story from the others he was just dumbfounded.Let's just say we he won't be getting wasted anytime soon.
Bacolod was a great and memorable stop,and we really hope we can go back there again soon!Thank you Bacolod kids!

Tune in for the last chapter next post!Cheers!
