It was March when I finally decided to join 41st GACPA ANC, 2 reasons, 1 Acctg office was given 2 JOs, 2. Okey c Mama. So I purchased a PAL ticket & canvassed for accomodation

Day 1: Departure-Woke at 2 am for the 5am flight. Baon: Mcdo Double Cheeseburger. I used my new grey luggage. I literally carried my bagahe from home to Crowne Regency Hotel, perspiration galore. Lucky a vacant taxi was available right away, it was a quick ride. The fare didnt break P300 pesos
Bad news: The flight was delayed for
over 2 hours, I was too scared to sleep, I just kept on praying. The flight was just 45 minutes, sakay sa Magnum Express , P199, hatid pa sa Ivory Pension House to leave my luggage.

Bad news 2: Somebody claimed my resibo ngeek. Almost 10 am na when I arrived at Limketkai, the guy had to talk to pips before he gave me my receipt. Then I had lunch at Leylam, opening started at 12 noon. Para fresh, I wore the Gacpa shirt.
Bad news: I didnt win the raffle. Flight back to Cebu was delayed for over an hour.
Bad news: allergy attack on Day 2. Runny nose and sneezing. I got sleepy due to meds
Comments
1. Compared to 2018 in Cebu, there are lesser participants, the venue is big enough to accomodate 2000 people
2. No coffee, I like the snacks,not the lunch& dinner. No contest
3. Lots of stalls sa CR but no tissue
4. I like Ivory Pension House, kaya lang hot water is not free. P5 for a mug full, mahal. At walang bathroom tissue
5. Except for SEC, I like all the topics since there are only few topic & speakers, the event ended early. 10 am instead of 1pm kaya tambay sa Limketkai
6 . I Like Magnum Express vehicles. Driver is friendly.
7. Madaming questions ,mostly nakasulat sa papel.
