PARTAS' new buses!!! GENESIS in La Union???

Everyone!!! The partas terminal in Sampaloc is finally open! Well Actually it's been open for about two months.... But finally Okoy and I got to get a ride on one and boy!!! these new set of buses are literally brand new!!! still with the same rate as that in Cubao, the one's in Sampaloc however are completely fresh, and really nice! It's like being in a deluxe trip.Okoy and I just came back home from La union.... waited for the bus along the highway with the boys... still drinking Tangjun's new mix....took us an hour to finally get partas' newest bus...( real nice interior) we brought our monoblock chairs...sitting as if we were gonna be gunned by a firing squad, and continued drinking... twas sweet... as always... my la union babies would always be there to get me inside the bus on my way home. now okoy and i are having this terrible separation anxiety leaving them... as the bus moving away... watching them still continuing to drink tangjun's mix along the highway.... haaayyyy.... anyway.... will be back there on my birthday...and that would be next week!...Going Back to Partas sampaloc....While I would always, always wait for Cubao's Partas terminal's de luxe at 10 pm all the time just to get comfy all the way to la union, this time, i won't have to wait til 10 pm or feel bad if i miss the 10pm de luxe trip because the regular buses in sampaloc are competely like the deluxe ones in the cubao and pasay terminals. What's even better is that you have the comforts of a deluxe bus and paying only the regular rate of 395 pesos. really good price! Try it!More update about this soon when I finally get the chance to find the number and schedule of the new terminal!One More thing.... There's Genesis in La Union now ( " GENESIS" is the official bus company to Baler Aurora... or should I say the safest way to get to Baler). However, They don't have a La union- Baler trip yet or vise versa. Hopefully they would have those even if it's coming from Baguio- Baler and vise versa instead of the ragedy D-liner buses that would give you a heart attack because of the driving and rashes because of the heat since it doesnt have airconditioning!!! Pray!!! If that happens, then travelling to Baler and La Union from both ends would be a breeze. easier to follow the swell coz the Pacific and China seas are reachable already.Let's hope for the best Luzon Surfers!Well, Happy trip guys!
