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.

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.

We'Re MoViNG! errr We'Re NOT!
There were previous plans of us moving to other flat. But the plans are just always plans we (or maybe 'they' - because my Kuya is the boss while my Ate is next to the hierarchy. hehe!) are thinking about. Ako kase masaya na ako sa tinitirahan namin.
Until recently, we have been having problems with our room. Our bathroom ceiling has been dripping the past weeks due to some facility problem in above storey making our bathroom floor and the carpet outside the bath door wet all day (the whole area outside the bathroom is carpetted). Since palagi kaming mukhang inuulan, my Ate has been repeatedly saying that we should go check some other flats but thinks that my Kuya would have, as always, hesitations on leaving our room.
We are fine with the area. Not so big but good enough to keep the essentials including the washing machine and refrigerator and other kitchen stuff, the cabinet Kuya has bought for me (other cabinets are built in), Ate's corner aquarium and still having space for the three of us to move (and play Wii!). We have an attached bathroom and our morning bathing sched doesn't conflict.
Btw, we are occupying the Master's bedroom of the flat. It was where my bro and two of his officemates / friends had transferred to after moving out from their company's accomodation. After some time, each had brought their wives to Dubai kaya naghiwa-hiwalay na sila and c Kuya ang naiwan sa room.
Bukod sa mahal ko na ang room (I would like to have a bigger space though. In time.) I just so love our building's location. Really convenient for me.
When Kuya came back from Christmas vacation in PI, muling nabuhay ang 'moving out plan'. Ayan na.
Emote pa naman ako kanina. hehe!
Malungkot pero masaya.

AyaW Magpa-Comment
Note: If you are JAMIE do not read this.
I just read J-me's blog about Bulak. When I finished reading gustong gusto ko mag-comment but found out that she won't allow comments for her post. Kaya naman ibo-blog ko na lang ang sympathy ko.
Though I really don't know the feeling na mawalan ng lovable pet (because i don't have any), I know she's sad talaga sa pagkawala nya. Bulak is one of J-me's favorite topic to chat about. Probably next to Glenn. During our HICAP days, 'pag kita namin sa umaga ng Lunes mega chismisan na kagad. And of course, she always has kwento's about her baby. Never fails.
Sigh.
I've no comforting words to say, mare. Na-sad lang ako ako para sayo...
Wag mo na away sarili mo.
O, sabi ko sayo wag mo basahin 'to e!

FIRsT WorKing Day of the YeaR
It's January 3, Saturday, and may pasok na!
Masyadong mabilis ang araw. I was hoping yesterday that MIS would announce an extended holiday. haha! At bakit naman magiging holiday na naman?! Hmm, 'was just hoping. Ang sarap kase ng bakasyon. Gusto ko pa sana matulog ng mahaba... But obviously, talagang may pasok na today.
So pano, work, work na ito! Gotta get a cup of coffee first and start workin'.
