Joining the Iglesia Ni Cristo World Wide Walk was one of the most unforgettable experience of my life .It was held last February 15,2014.This happened not just in the Philippines but also in different parts of the world .To be able to walk together with hundreds of thousands of people all for the same purpose of raising funds to help the people in Tacloban -The typhoon Yolanda/ Haiyan victims, It just feels amazing.
I donated 250php for the registration fee and I got a shirt.
We started travelling at around 12am and reached Roxas Boulevard at 2 in the morning, We thought that we would be the first people there because we traveled so early but we were wrong.The place was crowded already. I took a little nap in the car and woke up at 4am, ate my breakfast I prepared and started walking to reach the starting lane.
With a little sleep, I didn’t feel tired at all.It was really crowded and we waited for hours to get to the starting lane.It was the first time in my life I lane with many patient people.There is no pushing or hurting that happened and I didn’t even hear anyone complaining at all.All I can hear is the shout of excited people whenever they are about to pass the starting sign.There was a stop light and people starts counting whenever it’s about to turn Green.So funny.
I was shouting too!*0* I was so excited to finally able to see that “START” sign after waiting patiently for hours..I’m happy because I happened to be in a spot where there are teens talking about Anime, and it was fun to talk with them.I din’t get bored at all.We walked about 1.6 Km and double it because we had to go back.I feel like it was very short walk.I wish it was longer 😀
Anyway, At the end of the finish line, I say good bye to the new people I met and even became friends with them.:)
I put my stab in the box to be counted by the Guiness Staff.We went home already after the event, and we we’re just happy to hear in the news that we broke the record for the as World’s Largest Charity Walk in a single venue within 24 hours.It’s just an awesome bonus!:)
