February 5, 2019, Tuesday
My flight back to Manila was supposed to be on January 31, 2019 but I tried to move it to February 3 but my seat was confirmed for the February 5th flight so I grabbed it.
My friend was also going back to Manila but he was taking Cathay Pacific although he would linger at the Kai Tak airport for a couple of hours, as compared to PAL’s direct flight.
I will take PAL to countries or cities where they have routes. I am a loyalist.
The PAL lounge was small and seats were always occupied. Every time I would go to this particular lounge parang na-de-depress ako.
I watched the tv news while waiting. Ay depressing din ang news. Mga binaril, naasksidente. I also saw on tv that cancer is now prevalent among the Millenials, those aged between 24 to 49. And dami daw merong cancer of the pancreas, liver, kidney. Hay naku, scary. Siguro sa kinakain nating lahat. At the National Children’s Hospital in Quezon City, there were dozens of young kids suffering from cancer too. Merong baby pa, or 1 year old. Oh buhay bakit kaya?
It’s boarding
It’s been stormy the past few days buti na lang today biglang mataas ang araw. I was worried the flight would be turbulent because of the clouds.
My husband gets annoyed every time I travel. I don’t check-in online kasi. Sya, he chooses his seat. Me, I just rely on whatever seat I get.
He reminded me to check-in online. I did not. Instead, I messaged the PAL officer to check me in. Buti na lang accomodating. He did and he made me choose what seat I liked. I chose aisle kasi kaihi. I got 2G.
The overhead cabin was all for me. If someone makes the mistake of taking out my stuff and moving it to another bin without my knolwedge and permission just like what happened on my flight from Manila na na-cancel naman, naku aawayin ko talaga.
Yung seat mate ko tila merong ubo. Nay.
Sakit pa rin left foot ko. Ang hirap nakasapatos kasi mas lalong sumasakit.
Furla’s leather is so soft. I will use this as my make-up kit.
The puti guy to my right called the flight attendant and asked “What’s this?” I wanted to answer, “hello that’s a cologne.”
Kain na naman.
After I graduated from college, I took a short course on Modelling para marunong maglakad na merong libro sa tuktok. It included proper dressing, make-up, nail grooming, etc. I also enrolled in Social Graces and Ettiquettes. One of the things I learned was when you eat bread, you don’t slice it in the middle, papahiran ng mantekilya,titiklupin at kakagatin. No no no no. Pareho ng ginagawa sa bayan namin yun pandesal nilalagyan ng palaman at isusubo. Yung monay na katigas-tigas at kalaki-laki ganun din, Hihiwain ng malalaki. Que barbaridad. Dapat daw pipilas lang ng maliit, yun ang papahiran mo ng mantekilya at isusubo. Huwag mong gawing sandwich.
Ganito oh, Pakonti-kointi lang ang subo, huwag yung lolobo ang gilid ng pisngi. Bad yan, wah class.
The appetizer could be the main course
I was soooooo full.
Flight attendant #1—“Mam do you want ice cream or cheesecake?
Me—–“Pictyuran ko na lang”.
flight attendant #2—-“Mam, do you want cheese plate?”
Mr—–“Pictyuran ko na lang.”
I brought my own snack food. Apple crisps.
