My Pag-uwi Experience
I wasn't able to board on 3:45 am flight!
I forgot to mention in my previous blog that I tried agad self check-in (u use the touch screen monitor to log ur e-ticket number, choose ur seat & take ur boarding pass) as soon as I reached the Emirates staff area at the airport (No, I'm not an Emirates staff but beneficiaries also go in the same room). The system did not accept my number. i tried 3 times baka lang kase may mali somewhere sa pag-input ko.
Then my dumating na isang kabayan staff who assisted me. she too tried to log my number but was not successful. then she asked, confirmed naman ticket mo, d ba?
Huh?!? i said, "No. i'm using ID 50 (50% discounted)."
Sabi nya, "Ah, cguro puno ang flight. pero halika dito, check-in na kita." She mans one of the counters pala. Cguro galing syang breaktime then saktong pabalik sa pwesto nya when I saw her. Inuna nya ako. Thank you, ate! =)
I normally use naman kase the self check in thing. akala ko pwede palagi. cguro ung mga previous na uwi ko maluluwag talaga ang flight kaya naman I had no trouble at all.
Then un nga, the flight is so puno. The staff said, we (medyo madami din kami using ID 50, some ID 90) have no chance. I took it as a joke and i didn't move an inch. but when I saw them closing the counters, sabi ko "Ay, wala na nga." Hello, bakit naman kase sila magjo-joke d ba?!? Ewan ko ba sa sarili ko. hehe!
I called Francis.
I called Mom.
I called my brother who said, "Loka ka! e hindi naman confirm ang ticket mo bakit ka magse-self check in?!" Sorry na. Hindi ko nga alam e. Then he told me to go back sa flat to rest. sabi ko i'll just wait sa airport kase I have to make pila again at 7am para sa 10:30 am flight.
Then I roam at the airport, was able to buy my Dad's bilin na shaver (sa Pinas ko na sana bibilhin e) and took a nap ng nakaupo. At 6am (kahit pa sinabi nilang 7am nga e), may nag-initiate na ng pila. I lined up na rin and was number 4 in queue. Then super hintay moment na naman!
Then one of the staff, daughter of (Tita) one of the waitlisters, said that we should go at the outside counter since line for the waitlisters is there. Ako naman and the other girl na nakachikahan ko na sa pila went there and later agreed na maghiwalay kami to wait and see kung saan tatawagin ang names namin.
Para kaming college students waiting for our instructors to announce our grades. I had a feeling i'll get a seat but wouldn't want to be over confident kase that's the same feeling i had sa 3:45 am flight pero d naman ako nakasakay! hehe! i formulated plans na rin just in case the 10:30 am flight is too full to accomodate me.
Ung mga kaibigan kong may confirmed tickets ng 10:30 saw me and asked why i'm still at the airport. hehe! nag-abot pa tuloy kami. a day before, i told them mauuna lang ako sa kanila makatapak sa lupa ng Pinas... hindi pala. tsk, tsk.
Sabi ni Tita, "Akala nila masaya ang staff ticket. D nila alam ganito inaabot natin." ...Well, that is the price we pay. Remember we only paid half!
At 9:45 am we were given boarding pass... Salamat!

At the AiRPoRT
just trying 2 bl0g while waiting in the airp0rt. Still h0peful that i'll get a seat in the 3:45am flight. Im using ID 50 as Kuya's beneciary... Lucky me? Ei, it means my ticket is n0t c0nfirmed. And i have to wait til check in time is (alm0st) over f0r the Emirates staff to announce if they could still accomodate the waitlisters. H0pefully, h0pefully, h0pefully.
I hope everything im leaving here will be just fine.
I can feel that Mr. Antok is already saying 'hello' to me.
ZzZzZzZz

MaLaPiT Na!
5 days to go.
The countdown has started since mid of Feb. And days are just like slipping away. Excitement has grown more and more everyday.
But "today" has a different feel. Am having emotions mixed up. I'm excited. i'm happy. i'm sad.
Francis' only sister, the only one left in PI among his family members is leaving for US. It saddens him that it'll be just him alone. Though close relatives are just within reach, i know iba pa rin if you have ur family around.
Sayang lang din I didn't get to see Candice before she leaves. It was only through photos (and by phone kanina during lunch time) that I'm acquanted with her. Francis' loneliness has been very evident since last night though he's been very vocal naman about how he feels about Candice leaving. Nalulungkot ako that he's sad. May pagka-emotero pa naman ang fafa ko. Peace! (Yes, may fafa na ko).
But it's good that the third time we talked over phone, he sounded okei na. Ganun din during our chat session. Emote nung una pero naging okei na rin.
Wag kang mag-alala (Francis' parang-parrot-lang dialogue)... Just 5 more days, 'Cis.
