My mother had to go to Cagayan de Oro and everyone in the house was going with her. So there'd be no one to look after me when the time comes. My mother figured out that it would be more convenient to take me along with her. Taking along tons of pillows for cushioning, I tagged along. We took one of our passenger jeepneys so we were able to go to the SM Mall in Cagayan de Oro City where I did my last-minute shopping.
On the way back to Iligan City, the driver (my Uncle Sonny) noticed that there's a problem with the engine. Later on, he decided to check it and park somewhere in between Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro City. Unfortunately, it was impossible to fix it with the limited tools and there was no auto-shop nearby! The engine would no longer start so we are left with no option but get the other jeep to drag the defective one to Iligan city. My mother, my sister, and I could have went home ahead of the others but that could have cost too much. Plus my mother have to stay with the jeep because we didn't secure a permit to travel beyond Iligan City. This won't be a problem if the owner is IN the jeepney. So, I spent the night in the jeep, trying to sleep in a comfortable position (which was impossible).
At the break of dawn, the other jeepney arrived and we slowly headed back to Iligan City.
