    The final day played on both sides as one of the best and the most infamous ones. That morning, I was thirsty so I took my cup from last night and saw that there was a bug inside. I should have taken this as a warning sign that perhaps I shouldn't drink from this cup without giving it a thorough wash but the idiot that I am, I simply washed the bug away from using tap water and then poured in new water from the filtered one. Little did I know, this grave mistake bite me hard in the ass a few hours later. For our last day, we went to Lio beach which was a stone's throw away from the airport. The beach was pretty much empty today, we were quite lucky as the weather also seemed to be perfect. Janelle put on the white dress that I bought for her and we walked around the beach taking photos. My tummy started to act up a bit here to which I disregarded as hunger. So when the restaurant opened up, we ordered a bunch of food. Before the food even came, I found myself in the bathroom dropping a load. I had thought the worst was behind me as I walked out the door and back into the table. I chowed down hard, from the pizza and sisig to karekare. I ate pretty much everyone's fill only to end up back at the toilet a second time. It was at this point, I knew I had fudged up. Janelle had to take charge in calling a tuktuk to take us to the airport as I held on my tummy for dear life. Things were taking a turn for the worse as the pain got more intense and I was getting into a cold sweat. After checking-in, I was now in the toilet again. I took some medicine and got first priority on the plane. It ached all the way back to Manila and some more days after that.Read more
