So I got back home yesterday from the Philippines .. I'm not really happy that I'm home though 'cause it really felt like I didn't spend three weeks in the Philippines, my vacation there seriously just felt like a few days =/ I guess it's true that time flies by when you're having fun - as corny as that sounds, hah - I wanna just go back there, right now .. I had so much more I wanted to do while I was there, but I never got around to doing them =/ I wanted to hang out more with my cousins, visit my family more, go see the sights, and just ALOT more stuff ..
Despite not being able to do the other stuff I wanted to do I still had the most amazing time during my stay in the Philippines. Me & my mom still did alot of stuff, we visited family we haven't seen since like .. forever, literally .. and we visited alot places around the Philippines, the nicest place we visited was Jose Rizal's Monument, the national hero of the Philippines. While we were at the Rizal monument we rode Kalesas, or horse drawn carriages, they were reslly popular when my mom was little 'cause she used to ride them all the time going to and from school. It was really fun riding the Kalesa, haha 'cause it was breezy and you saw things better.
I was really sad the day we had to come back to the States, to me it seemed a little sad in the house the morning we left. It was really quiet, when I was eating breakfast with my cousins it was a little weird 'cause usually we'd be talking during breakfast, but today we didn't .. I was really upset while I was getting ready to leave. All I could think of was how much fun I had and how much I did not wanna go home .. I didn't wanna leave yet, I didn't wanna leave the Philippines yet .. I wasn't ready. When we left for the airport, all I did was just look out the car window and just try not to cry .. Once I saw the airport I said to myself, "Oh God, we're here." when I got out of the car, I helped my uncle get our luggage out of the car the more I tried not to cry 'cause now it's real .. now I'm seriously leaving the Philippines, to me it was really depressing =/ My grandparents and my cousins came with us to drop us off to the airport and when I said goodbye to my grandparents and cousins the more I had to try to not cry, once me and my mom got to the door of the airport I couldn't hold back the tears anymore .. I let it all out, my mom didn't say anything but she knew that I was really upset that we were leaving ..
I stopped crying, but once our plane took off from Manila, I started crying again 'cause now we really aren't in the Philippines anymore, my mom didn't see 'cause she was sleeping so that was good .. I couldn't sleep on the flight from Manila to Korea 'cause I just had alot of things going on in my head, all I did was just sit in my seat ..
Once we got to Korea, while we were waiting for our next flight going to New York, all I did was look at the pictures I took of my trip on my laptop and just think of all the stuff I did there. My stop over at Korea was really boring, but once we started boarding for our final flight something good happened =)
Once we got up to the gate, the lady took our boarding passes and put them into a machine in order for us to get the boarding pass' stub with our seat numbers on it, but there seemed to be a problem .. our boarding passes kept coming out of the machine and wouldn't go through. On the counter there were a few boarding pass stubs and two of them were me and my mom's, when the lady handed them to us she said "Sir & Ma'am, you've received a free upgrade to Business Class." I flipped the crap OUT, I was SOOO happy! That was probably the greatest thing that happened to me that day. I was soo happy we got into Business Class for the longest flight, it's a 14 hour flight!
Asiana Airlines' Business Class is sooooo nice! The seats were soo roomy and comfortable, they turned into beds!!! Haha, and the food .. oh my God, the food was soo much better than the food they'd serve in Coach! It was REAL FOOD, not like food they just headed up. There was an appetizer, main course & desert =) Asiana feeds their their passangers alot, so I was really full. During this flight I was able to sleep 'cause for one this the seats were insanely comfortable and were "beds" and I was just really exhausted from the day.
When we got to New York, I had mixed feelings .. I really missed the Philippines, but then I started to get a little more happy 'cause I really missed my dad and all my friends .. so thinking about them made me happy.
When we got home I was like "Hah, I haven't been here in a while .. " I missed this place. I couldn't sleep last night though 'cause I started thinking about the Philippines again, and cried again .. from now on, I'm going to the Philippines every year. Next summer I wanna go for the entire summer, from July through August.
That's pretty much all I can think about my trip for now .. if I think about any more stuff, I'll update =)
