10 Nov 2014&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
Yesterday, I flew to Siargao but had not landed Sayak Airport due to bad weather. It was that bad that they cancelled today&#39;s flight. I decided to do something I wouldn&#39;t normally do --travel by boat (ship).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
I boarded Cokaliong Filipinas Dumaguete ship and departed Cebu shores at 7PM. I&#39;m now at Surigao City on a boat bound for Siargao Island, docking the town of Dapa at approx&amp;nbsp; 1PM. I was hoping to catch the Free and Easy Sohoton Caves tour but sadly I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll be able to make it. This is the first 24-hr unplanned trip I&#39;ve ever done in my life; and I am thrilled just thinking about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next few days...&lt;br /&gt;
I got to Cloud 9 safe and sound. Stayed at a really nice place. I thought I&#39;ve uploaded the photo (I&#39;m a bit tired now so maybe later)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spent days indoors due to the bad weather. On one fine day though, I hopped on a boat and went to Naked Island, Daku Beach, and Guyam. I&#39;m glad I was able to spend the entire week doing stuff by and for myself...I can&#39;t write everything down now. This might just be enough to remind me of everything I&#39;ve seen, and felt while I was there...&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10204217916546637.1073741832.1188995895&amp;amp;type=1&amp;amp;l=9eba00ce04&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;some photos here as well.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Spent the past 4 days with mum and Iya; and the trip turned to be better than I had anticipated. The positives outweighed the negatives (as these are inevitable).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10204236883980811&amp;amp;type=1&amp;amp;l=ba3af1dcafhttps://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10204236883980811&amp;amp;type=1&amp;amp;l=ba3af1dcaf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Photos here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ups:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Had booked mum and Iya to a later flight but then PAL has this processes of allowing passengers from later flights to fly earlier if the carrier isn&#39;t full; luckily, my 9:40am flight had 2 available seats. Yey!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Staff at Apartelle de Gabrielle were very warm in accommodating us during our entire stay. Their cook prepared good food too!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Awesome tour package, meals were delish&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;boat crew were very responsible&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Traded room was even better haha&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
Hiccups:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;traffic congestion to the airport&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;katangahan - t3 instead of t2&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;double booked accommodation at Malcapuya Island, we had to move out of the big room&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

I&#39;ve always been for Family. My tita (from my mum&#39;s side of the family is a breast cancer survivor); and I have great respect for her and her family. They have been very accomodating ever since kuya left for NZ, and when I left as well. Some may think it simple to transport travelers to airport but it is something I&#39;ve always appreciated in people --their taking a fraction of their time to give service. I get to know relatives more, helping me understand where we (as a family) come from with respect to principles/ideals. I must say though I enjoy listening to my tita and mom talking about family life, and past experiences. Sumptuous dishes prepped by her or my cousin are a bonus. Maraming Salamat po!&lt;/div&gt;

I&#39;m going back to my birth country. This series will be all for that. I&#39;m hoping to remind myself that I can never be who I am now without the people who became part of my life, the places that make me feel safe, peaceful and one with the Creator, and the experiences --good or bad that strengthened my ideals and principles, or new learning and perspective to allow me to persevere this life.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I bought Ravie and before leaving for the south island, it&#39;s original Japanese car stereo worked absolutely fine. Coming back I found this annoying message. It haunted me everyday...until tonight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please note that I have an &lt;b&gt;NDDN-W56 76031&lt;/b&gt; on my RAV4 2006. The steps below worked for me but might not work for you, so do these at your own risk &lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, I didn&#39;t whip everything up myself. A little research and voila! &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pakwheels.com/forums/car-entertainment-electronics-gps-navigation/223037-insert-map-disc-free-solution-toyota-dvd-nddn-w54-w55-w56-w58-3&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Read more here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Burn the file using a CD (not a DVD!), naming the CD as&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;86271-V416A8&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Insert the CD onto the Map Disk bay (no need to start the engine btw &lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/1.gif&quot; /&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Done.&lt;/li&gt;
