Pinas adventure!

As I always say — I always been nerbus and excited to go to Pinas, I just don’t know what’s going to happen to me there… Kung ma ki-kidnap ba ako o ma-sa-salvage bwahahaha… I have never to Pinas for a veryyyyy long long time and I dunno what to expect, I’ve heard many stories, some good and some bad.

*On a very strong Pilipino accent* You be better be carepul coz you kno’ der’s alot of mandirigma ober der. You kno’ you gotta wats your staps ol d time, don’t be ol ober d flace, cos you neber kno’ you might be sitting or woking next to a snatsher - you kno’ snatsher? O your camera u wats it okay! [And that is my aunt briefing me hehehe... 4 weeks before I leave, I tell you mas-excited pa yang puday na yan sa akin!]

The flight seems like f-o-r-3-v-a-h as in! *Ansakit sa tumbong!* I was really restless all the way to Pinas, I always aks the FA’s same question all over… Is we there yet? (It’s like 19 hours or more kaya noh? And my body seems to be really confused, footah panay almusal ang pakain sa eroplano!)

It’s like I am inside a can of sardines ligo it is hahaha, the flight from east all the way to Pinas was full, and I mean full, kulang na lang kalong at sabit!

Had almost 2 hours of lay over in Japan, but before any passenger was allowed to get off, we was quarantined first. And by the time we was about to take the flight from Japan to Manila all was left was like 45 mins. Pucha! I was like Lydia de Vega - I was running like crazy, I don’t want to be stranded in Japan! NO! *Wala ako Lapad! And I was thirsty, para akong cactus na uhaw na uhaw!*

The lines at the security was full of people. All of them are Filipinos as in. *Asa Pilipinas na ba ako?*

Ang layo ng tanaw mo koya ah?

*Gusto kong basagin yong vending machine!* I stayed calmed still… Mahirap na - hindi ko to territoryo hehehe…

Finally!

Am in Pinas! It was almost 1 o’clock in the morning by the time I finished everything. *Madali lang sa immigration. Sa customs hmmm medyo hmmm wag na lang, kasi baka ma block list pa ako lol.* I told the lady in customs that I don’t have anything to declare, but still she was asking me *Ano dala mo?* Bakit ba ang usisera mo ate? Gusto nya ata ibigay ko ang breakdown ko ang dala ko. [Years ago, bata pa ako with my mom... We was interrogated and a bit harassed by the PI customs, malay ko kung anong kontrabando ang dala ng nanay ko lol. And that really was stucked in my mind. Nakakatakot. Malay ko ba kung may implant sa bagahe ko no? *Praning mode*]

So, anyways - muntik na ako at ang mga bagahe ko magpagulong-gulong pababa sa mismong sunduan hahaha punyeta nobody told me na para palang entrada ng Philippine festival ang tarik na dadaanan ko! Leche! *Hmmm, I soon as I got jan sa sunduan, syet - I smell something, it’s like… Burak, footah!*

Nanlalagkit ako. *Ayaw ko sa masikip, ayaw ko sa madilim at lalong ayaw ko sa mabaho!* But of course gumimick muna ako kahit pagoda na akong tunay bago pa man mag-check-in sa Intercon “daw”

Fresh fruits were waiting for me. O diba? *Puno yang plato, nilafang ko na yong mga gusto ko!* Like mangoesteen and lychee. Nagka lychee-lychee ako naka 6 bottles ata ako ng San Mig light hahaha light daw! (Only 100 calories na lang!)
