Flee Fly Flew

Eman is 9 months and 20 days old today. He should get his measles vaccine within the 9th month so we went to the health center here in Catalunan Pequeño. The center is located 100 meters north of the intersection. The North is going to Mintal, South is heading to Ulas, east is going inside to subdivisions where we live and the west is heading to a place I don’t know of. Before we reached the intersection, a kind driver in a cab said the men from LTO are posted right there in the intersection. Bummer! We will get fined for not wearing helmets (we just wear it when going downtown area) and for driving without a license. So we left the motorcycle at a store and walked. Ella was dragging her feet all the way to the center. The group has already left when we reached the intersection. I was thinking it’s just fine at least it’s better to be safe than sorry. We reached the center with a frowning Ella and a smiling Eman who was in the sling. Found out they will conduct immunization on Friday. I told them I thought they are doing it on Wednesday. It turned out that they changed their schedule. I didn’t ask anymore if all the centers across the country has changed schedule or just them.

So we walked back to get the motorcycle and headed to Mintal taking the back road. It’s very cold and champorado (chocolate rice porridge) will be perfect so we headed to HB1 to get some bitter oh so chocolatey cocoa rounds. I am drooling of the thought of the steaming bowl of champorado but we didn’t make it to the store. The men from LTO moved infront of Mintal Catholic Church. Another bummer! The store where we are going is right beside the church.Well, we did a U-turn….went home empty handed. A guy warned us about them just before we turned left to the church. It’s not just us who fled from the LTO’s. You should have seen the commotion……motorcycles, customized trikes and cabs were like boomerang that take a U-turn to where they came from when they see those men in green uniforms and black boots.

Thanks to the two guys who saved us today. We owe you big time.
