holy week

written on Holy Thursday 2011 when i got stranded on the boat going home to the province

This has been , to date, the worst travel experience i have so far coming home to Camotes.i mean, the trip in itself was smooth-sailing and uneventful, and after less than 2 hours we arrived at the Port of Consuelo so i thought i would be driving home to Tudela in a few minutes and can have my dinner 30 minutes after but to my dismay the ro-ro vessel i got on could not dock...at first i thought it was the same as when i went home last February for my dad's first death anniversary although contrary to the weather today which is warm and sunny and with serene seas, that time was a bit rough and very windy.the same also happened last time yet it was not this long, and we were able to alight after less than thirty minutes.well, my guess isnt right, we have been here for almost two hours and sometimes impatience takes over not only me but the rest of the passengers who i presume had been excited and looking forward to having dinner and getting some rest in the warmth of a house not here in this diesel-smelling, engine-roaring steel of a vessel.my patience is really getting thin here, normally i would weigh things and think about the problem at hand, why is it happening and why are the people involved having a hard time making a solution to it..then i would calm down when im in their shoes and try to think like them but i am irritated with this boat crew here...to me it seems like they are not doing anything , they tried to maneuver a couple of times but failed and then they just seem to stop and just laugh it off, puffing cigarettes on the side..they dont even have the decency to apologize to us passengers who have been stuck here for like forever,for the inconvenience this trip has caused us.after all , we should be home by now ,it is Maundy Thursday!Everyone on board here is a combination of bored,hungry and tired and i,especially, just wanna get out of here and go home!just imagine i went through the whole albums of BEP & Bruno Mars and now im presently listening to Katy Perry's.How many more albums should i hear before i can set foot on land?i am not even sure if this vessel has a captain and if so, why isnt he doing something?im freakin annoyed.i am traveling alone and i dont even have someone to talk to here, people are complaining, some are shouting already and i dont blame them but i still get annoyed with them too!some are trying to lean on my car in front and trying to scramble up on the pickup side of the truck..i dont want to shoo them away because it wont be good but if they continue to be rude and disrespectful, i might do it soon.i do not really know if the crew has any plans at all on what to do, maybe we will just be waiting for the tide to go up, which is probably freakin happening after 7 or 8 hours from now!i am just so freakin frustrated right now and to think i had doubts
