last bus trip going there from here is 435pm. our office hours is until 430, going to the bus station will take around 5-10mins and waiting for the cab takes around 10mins...
my teammate and friends suggested to leave early, i said i might be leaving by 415 because im too shy to leave the office that early.. though, a lot of my officemates are going to leave by 430. that 15mins is still a big deal for me since i am still new here. oh well, i asked permission from my team lead if i can leave the office by 4pm, his reply: ofcourse! and just enjoy galway!
my irish teammate, c, volunteered to give me a lift going to the bus station. my newfound friend, now housemate, leny, volunteered to give me a lift also if she's not busy. ciara and leny are going to the office after they drop me off at the station.. hmm.. i decided to go with leny, im more comfortable with her. dont get me wrong, c is a sweet girl. got my luggage from joan, i left it in their car so i dont have to go home to retrieve it before going to galway.
we reached the bus station around 415pm, the bus is nowhere so i waited for more than 20mins. when it arrived, there were not much passengers so i got the seat behind the driver. i wanted to see and enjoy the view, it was a long long longggg ride.. almost 5 hours, all along i was thinking that i was going up to baguio. the view was like that anyway: trees, hills, fields, sheeps, horses...
when i reached galway, it was already late and dark.. probably around 10pm :( and i was too tired. my sister was already waiting for me at the bus station. the drive to her house is 30mins more and i haven't eaten anything yet. by the time we arrived, i was knackered and starved :)
ate prepared ginisang munggo and pritong tilapia for our dinner, yummy! it was good friday after all so meats are not allowed :)
her place is nice and cozy, small though compared to my house now. it was a two bedroom flat and she's sharing it with her friend.
the next day, we went to some of her friends' house to have lunch. i met jose and leah and the rest. they prepared chicken bbq and fish. after that, we ran este drive to galway town again.. oh, it was her who's behind the wheel not me.. we roamed the busy main street and went inside shops. i didn't buy anything though, its too expensive for me except for one black coat :) it was on sale anyway. the weather was nice also at that time, it was sunny but still cold though.. at least, it was not raining.. thats enough for me. shops close here at 6pm so it was not long before we're heading home again. we dropped by leah's place again to have dinner hehe
on easter sunday, we went to marian shrine, at knock, mayo to hear mass.
then we went to ashford castle, it was a huge place but we weren't able to get inside. it is a hotel after all.
the next day, i was off to letterkenny again to move/transfer to my new house. it was a really busy weekend.
