Back to Tag and Reconnecting Old Friends

Eric reconnecting with our mutual good friend Zac.

I left Cebu by 3:35 PM on a ferry to Tagbilaran and then hired a motorbike to drive me to Rubi’s place. There, I picked up Rubi’s motorbike which I rent when I’m in Bohol. Once I found Rubi and got her motorbike, I drove back home to clean up and settle in a little. I wanted to meet up with Grace who was visiting Alona Beach so I drove there to meet up with her and Greg. We ate dinner at Hayahay and happy hour at Oops bar.

At Oops bar, I met a dive instructor, Eric, who used to work at Genesis Divers years ago. I happened to ask him if he knew of my friend Zac who also worked at Genesis at around the same time. In a weird coincidence, Eric said the he did know Zac and they used to be best friends. We reminisced on stories Zac told me in the US of his times with Eric in Alona Beach. It was fun reminiscing on stories they both shared because it reminded of me my fun times with Zac.

Eric hasn’t talked with Zac for a long time so I gave him Zac’s recent contact information. Eric impulsively called Zac and left a message on his phone. Eric called again and when Zac answered, he didn’t know who was calling him until Eric insulted him, jokingly, in a Filipino dialect. It was great seeing Eric reconnect with Zac; I think Zac was quite happy to hear from him.

Grace, quite happy after some rounds.

After Oops, we went to Trendies with Grace for a late night drink and pool.
