hello iloilo!

March 17, 2012.. Saturday...

Davao is still celebrating Araw ng Dabaw

but i'm leaving it...

i just have to...

it really is a MUST!

i actually got my flight a year ago..

i was supposed to meet April at the airport

but she eventually cancelled her flight days before..

i can cancel, but i don't want to cancel...

i'm broke.. but that didn't stop me...

I FIND COMFORT IN TRAVELLING!

i need this trip badly.. i just have to do this...

DVO-ILO

FLT. 5J 348/ 17Mar12

Depart: Davao 0745H

Arrive: Iloilo 0850H

Gate: 8

Boarding Time: 0715H

Seat No.: 23B

the flight was actually delayed for a few minutes...

i kept myself busy watching WANTED on my tab..

then suddenly i noticed an old guy taking pictures of his friends who were

in front of me using his phone.. and to my surprise, he then approached

me and asked if he could have his picture taken with me..

oh crap! his friend was all set to shoot the cam so i had no choice but

to say yes... i felt like a celebrity for a moment though. lol..

i just hope that picture won't come near me again...hahaha

the old guy started to have a conversation with me..

he asked me questions, and my answers were half-true.. lol

i pretended to be busy so as not to make the conversation too long..

and so finally, he got tired of talking and left..

what a relief! lol

Inside the plane was a different experience..

I had a seat between a lady and an old man..

my initial plan was to actually finish the movie i started at the airport..

but eventually, i found myself talking to the man beside me who i think is

a bit older than my papa.. our conversation was mainly about travels..

he said he has travelled a lot by being in the navy before he retired..

he said he has an unica hija who happened to be 42 years old,

remains to be unmarried and is a bank manager in Alabang..

had a funny thought -- am i going to be like her daughter? lol..

he is actually going to Guimaras to finish a project on their inland resort..

he said PARIS was the most beautiful place he has gone to.

even her daughter thinks so.. she's even planning to go back there on

a 2-week vacation... pwede maibog teh?

oh! when can i possibly spend a vacay in Paris???when???

our conversation made me think of what i wanted to do with my life..

i want to travel and explore every place i can set my feet into..

i want to own investments which i can eventually pass on to my children..

i want to have fun while working..

oh i just want to be like mr. nelson..

thank you sir for giving me some inputs...

i really wish to see you again...

Chen picked me up at the airport...

we took a jeepney to Sta. Barbara and stopped by a drug store..

then we took a ride to Maasin..

it was really far but the good thing is, there was no traffic..

i had to stop by at their place cos my check-in time was 2pm..

i came in too early...

but they made me a special welcome lunch..yay!
