FLIGHT PR295

The long wait is finally OVER. First Semester has come to an end. After five months of sacrifice and homesickness, I finally had the chance to go back home and try to make up some things that I really missed so much. It was hard for me to explain what was inside of me when I was in the airport bringing with me lots of baggages. I had a rollercoaster of emotions. I even saw there my fellow tubong mindanao friends. Smiles were painted in their faces. Some even had teary eyes while waving ‘Hasta La Vista’. That was so EMO. What a heart whelming scenario. It is not only my friends that I saw but also some celebrities witha big name in the showbiz industry. Perhaps, they were also feeling what I was feeling that time. Of course, even though they are celebrities who know how to play with their emotions in the television but still they are human beings.

Well, I do have something to share with you guys when I was in the airport. I am hesitating to share it with you now because possibly, I will just embarrass myself. I mean, I will put myself in 5minutes of shame. LOL. Here it goes. I was checking in the airport and one of the personnels there was weighing my baggages. *BOOM* He told me that I was only allowed to bring 10 kilos of baggages but I exceeded the limit. OMG. I do not know what to do. By the way, that was my first time to travel all alone without my parents and friends to accompany me. Another FIRST in my life. I was so like Mr. INDEPENDENT that time or maybe more of a loner. So, I have to make decisions for myself, all by myself. I have no one to turn to and I am not used of doing it, I mean making decisions for myself. But I must get used to it coz I am in college now. *ERGH* Going back to my story, I only have 1000 pesos in my pocket that time. I don’t have enough money to pay for the fine. What did I do? I opened my baggages and took some stuffs that I could hand carry. Then, the personnel weighed my baggage all over again and YES! It weighed exactly 10 kilos. AMAZING! I really look like a clown that time. I turned into a funny man. How I really wish I could cover my face with a mask. I hope there was a masquerade party that time. LOL. I just walked straight to a waiting area as if there was no crowd… as if nothing happened. I do not care what they was thinking or saying that time. What really counts for me I had fun and I learned from what I have done. Continue on what you are doing guys. I can live a life fearless of your gossips and intrigues. LOL. Mission Successful. Problem Solved.

But that was not the end of my funny and embarrassing experience that day in the airport. I had another one, a more terrible one. I went straight to one of the waiting areas for PAL. Plane Always Late. LOL. But I was so wrong to say that. It was totally wide off the mark. PAL was not late that time. I was the one who was late, terribly late. I was having a frozen chocolate at Bo’s Coffee Club that time until suddenly I had a kick on my teeth. I heard my name being paged by one of the personnels. My fame have really reached the whole airport. LOL. Last Call for Mr. Justin Ryan Morilla. *SHIT* The plane was ready for take off and was about to leave. That was the only time that I realized that I was in the wrong waiting area. I should have been in Gate 8 and not somewhere else. So STUPID. Right after that, I took all my baggages and asked a guard where in the world is Gate 8. I simply followed his directions. I ran so fast that time. I had the speed of the cheetah. I was like a superhero that time. I am like flash. LOL. Fortunately, a kind man let me ride on a bus and sent me near the plane. Whoever you are: THANK YOU VERY MUCH indeed. When I finally reached the plane, everyone welcomed me with a round of applause. Some even did standing ovation. Sarcastic. To all those passengers: Sorry very much to keep you waiting. I promise not to emnbarrass myself again. LOL. Honestly, I have learned something from that experience. Those who are late are often so much jollier than those who have to wait for them. Who agrees with me? Of course, those people who are also always LATE. LOL.

I am now happy coz finally I am HOME. Nevertheless, I am happier because of those funny yet embarrassing experiences. After all that happened, all that I did was to laugh at my mistakes but to learn from them. I do not know if I will consider that as a good day or a bad one. But it does not really matter at all. It is for a reason that both are essential to my existence. The first gives me happiness while the latter is where I gain my learning and experiences. It may seem to be just a small thing, I mean the whole thing that happened, but when I tried to look back on those things, I have come to realize that it made my journey more fun and colorful. It was certainly like a surprise that passed my way to make me smile that day. That is one thing that I should be thankful and be proud of. I did something RARE. I will not forget what had happened, NEVER. Everything about Flight PR295.
