One time I had missed the bus going to Batangas for one of our semi-field trip slash recreational activity for school and I had to travel with a total stranger (He was a relative of my professor who was also going to the same location as I was) just to get there. One of the scariest and bravest moment of my life. Manila to the kalilim-liliman of Batangas is not a joke, scary stuff happens there and I was lucky enough to get there safe.
