I had a sudden official leave Friday last week. My superior asked me to attend a seminar in Subic in his stead late Thursday. The seminar was to start at *gasp* 8:00 a.m. that coming Friday. From Manila, Subic is about 3.5 hours to 4 hours away by public transportation (bus) on the regular route, or 2 hours by car or by bus via SCTEX. That would mean I have to wake up really early to be on time, and to make sure that I would not be late, I was chauffeured to Subic. I still had to wake up by 3:00 a.m. to prepare for an overnight stay in Subic. So, yay.
I have been to Subic for like 5 times already but it was my first time to go there via SCTEX. I was so amazed. The view is just lovely. There was a mountain range that I did not know existed, the sky was clear and the view was just picturesque. The most fun parts of SCTEX were the mountainous/hilly areas which were cut through the middle to pave for the highway.
Here are some of my SCTEX pictures:
This path carved in the center of a mountain reminds me of the parting of the red sea.
