Suddenly in Banaue
Thursday, hurray🤩
Funny how plans change so suddenly. We were to stay in Cagayan (Region II) for a few more days, but that did not happen. Instead, we left the place in the morning, crossing various towns, beautiful fields, valleys, and finally the border, heading to the Province of Ifugao.
Why?
Just because of a weather forecast saying a typhoon named Paolo will enter PAR today.
Paolo will bring heavy rainfall over Northern and Central Luzon with torrential rains expected in Isabela and Cagayan.(src)
So yeah, we packed our bags and have been on the road since 10 am. We did have some stopovers for meals and sightseeing. We even enjoyed touching grass at the Kiangan Shrine, and then checked out the National Museum in the same area. I will share more about that visit when I am on the bigger screen (computer).
Anyway, we are now in Banaue, Ifugao, near one of the World's Heritage sites (rice terraces). We are spending the night here for some good rest. The LilGuy is obviously exhausted; he fell asleep right after a quick shower. I wouldn't deny that I am feeling the same.😅
He loves it when we take adventures, but like us, his energy has limits. It's natural, of course! The sudden change in destinations was truly not in our plans, but we had to prioritize our safety above the fun and adventure.
But yes, we hope to explore more of this beautiful place, should the weather be good tomorrow. If not, we might drive home before the storm intensifies. Although we hope the typhoon melts in the ocean and won't arrive here.🙏
Until then, we shall take tonight as an opportunity to recharge our almost drained batteries (body and gadgets) and not worry about the next day, for we do not have control over the weather.

That was an amazing adventure. The Lilguy too must have had fun to make him sleep. Lol
Happy October, FG
It was, although we had to cut it short because of the typhoon.
Yes, he must feel beaten from the long drives. He's also sleeping now :) Thank you PB, have a wonderful new month too.
The weather is crazy...
I speak from experience as I'm suddenly stranded by an unexpected thunderstorm.
My power bank on the other side of the campus. A promise of cake at another end of the campus (separate from the power bank)
And me, hungry thinking of what to do😭😭
I'm sorry to hear about your inconveniences. I hope you were able to go home safe and sound. It's not nice when the weather suddenly play on us.
Yeah I got home alright...
How are you?
Truly we do not have control over the weather, you guys have done the well leaving the area , the storm have not come and Yongi is looking so tired 😄 that's such a beautiful place
That's right. We kind of ran away from the center of the storm.
Yes, our lil guy was so exhausted from the drive, haha. Glad we found a nice, comfy place where we spent the night and rested without any disturbance
That's cool, moving out from the house is interesting some times 😊
Sana wag tumuloy Yung bagyo sis. Hindi pa naka recover Yung IBA SA lindol😬
Kaya nga sis, pero eto, dumating na. Lakas ng hangin at ulan. Hoping hindi dumaan don sa Cebu. Kawawa naman sila.
Trips during the week are the best, not many people around, no queues etc... And again an other typhoon
That's right, but yeah, the typhoon is a bummer. We didn't even know it when we left home a few days ago.

What's happening? I already heard several typhoon already attacked in the region? Seems like it's a regular guest there.
I must say, Lil Guy looks adorable..

Yes, typhoons are not new here in the country. They come and go during these months.
Thank you, he was so tired from the traveling😂
