I am off to a 5 day holiday in Bangkok with Oyen. A mother and daughter bonding.
Her round-trip tickets were free. Remember one time she was traveling to Bangkok on a business trip and was bumped off her business class seat. PAL asked her nicely if she would be willing to stay in the economy section in exchange for a round-trip ticket on business class at some later date and to an Asian destination of her choice except Japan. She said yes of course. So here I am, a traveling companion to someone who got her tickets for free. But me, I had to buy my own round-trip tickets.
I only started packing at 10 pm last night. If I run out of clothes or supplies, buy na lang. I only had three hours of sleep. My husband woke me up, “Tart 5:45 na”. Oh I hate waking up early. I hate morning flights.
I borrowed my daughter’s medium-sized luggage. I only packed a few clothes, three pairs of shoes )kasi daw there woould be lots of walking) and my laptop.
Whoa where are all you guys going? That’s also their question to me. And where are you going?
We were not seated together because we didn’t check in way ahead of time. #toobusy. By the time we reached the check-in counter there were no more “together seats” available except in row 6 which is in the second cabin.
We didn’t have breakfast at home. Too early to eat Antonia’s left over sinigang.
The Chinese noodle soup look so good and delicious.
I chose the shrimp noodle soup. Wow plenty of shrimps.
A—-“Miss, where are the shrimps?”
Miss—-“Mam nasa ilalim”.
The display is very much different from the actual.
Yes there were shrimps hidden at the bottom but they were only a few. Far from what was shown in the display bowl. Failed expectation. Imagination vs reality.
Lugaw na lang nga.
A—-“Anak, mapapagalitan tayo ng daddy, pagnalaman nya na hindi tayo magkalapit”.
O—-“Don’t tell him”.
A—-“I will tell him, inisin natin”.
O—-“Mommmmm! Don’t tell him. He will get mad”.
I Vibered him that we’re not seated together. Almost instantly he reacted with a barrage of texts.
O—-“Mom! Now it’s your fault, you made him angry.”
Laughs.
