MISS-adventure

Everyone learns from their mistakes. Well.. almost everyone. That would exclude myself. I kind of, committed the same mistake again. :)) I got lost, again. Haha. Here's how it happened.

So I woke up really early today, like 8am (yes, that's early since it's summer and I should be sleeping in today.. haha) to pick up my tita and beloved adings at the airport. (hello tita dhorie, kingking and CASSabby!) haha. aww i miss them already. Anyway, I needed to get some papers required for dent proper so I hurried to the airport. Now today was a really strange day cause I wasn't confident enough to know how to get to the airport wisely, so I took a cab. Man, I loved that cab and the driver.. He was tuned into a Christian radio station and the ride was so peaceful.. and he even offered me chewing gum that he just bought from the sidewalk vendors.. Haha!

However, he wasn't so kind enough as to ask me where we were going, (or that was my fault) and so we kept going straight and straight until we reached SM Sucat.. and I was like, woah Kuya! nasan na tayo? And he was all shocked, and asked me, miss san po ba kayo ppunta? sa NAIA o dun lang sa area na yun? I stared and said, sa airport po mismo. Then, he was panicking and shaking his head and kept stuttering that I should have been more cautious, that we already passed by it a while ago and that I should have told him earlier.. And it was so funny cause that kind of reminded me of my dad in a way... But still, the fact that I was totally calm and Manong Driver was so tense.. that made me smile the whole trip going to the airport. :)

So there, when I reached the airport, I waited, and waited, and waited for the Ogtips + Barairo to arrive. I knew I had waited an hour and thirty minutes before I saw them.. However the waiting wasn't that bad cause there was this HOTTTTTT crushworthy guy standing right next to me who was also waiting for someone.. I'm guessing he's about my age (or even younger) whose dad and grandma looked Chinese. Well, he did have that Chinese thing going on for him too but it was sexy, and not cute. :) LOL. He even had two ballers on his wrist, one was blue and the other was white.. hmmm.. Ateneo? He definitely looked that part. Haha. I kept eavesdropping to his and his dad's conversations and found out they were picking up their mom.. and it was a pretty easy thing to do since he didnt mind me looking over my shoulder all the tim.. Haha. He was pretty cool about it, like maybe he's already to girls who do that when he's around. :)) Erm. Why am i chatting about a boy again? Haha.

Anyway, when Tita and the kids (my lovely lovely lady kids) came, well. the usual routine happened, I came over to them, kiss here, hug there, bless, commented on my daughter cass-abby's hair (oh she's gonna love me for this, haha).. then I saw Jedrick and Sir Salem. Pfft! This is the second time that I've seen SIR SALEM at THE AIRPORT ON THE SAME DAY MY PEOPLE ARRIVES. Ano ba, I'm done with high school and I sure am through with Sir Salem's torturing my batch. LOL! But what can I do, coincidences happen, fate interferes. Haha.  

Parting time came. Tita offered to drop me by the nearest stop to my place and so I gave in.. However the man driving the car was  not that willing enough to drop me straight to Taft Avenue, instead I got down at the Magallanes MRT Station. I was pretty confident I knew how to get home since I've taken the trains like, a hundred times before. :) I thanked everyone inside the car and.. I even got shawarmas! OMG! That made me so happy. Hahaha. Can't wait to sink my teeth into them already. :)) And so, another adventure began. I took the stairs that would lead me to the ticket station and to my huge surprise, the station was closed. Only the did I realize that MRT and LRT stations would be closed from the 9th to the 12th because of Holy Week. Argh laeng how forgetful can you be! And to think that I've watched the news and heard the reporters say that so many times on TV. Panic panic panic. Here I was in the stairs thinking how I could get home. Man, I did know it was Magallanes but I didn't have even the slightest idea how I would get home from there..!

I crossed to the other side of the road because that's what the man at the bus going to Fairview told me when I asked him. Hahaha. He said, ride the Pasay buses on the other side, and gullible old me I did follow his instructions. Stubidstubidstubid. I shouldn't have. When I got there, there weren't any buses going to Pasay. They were all going to places where I've never been, seen or even heard. Man, I was on the verge of hyperventilating due to the panic-stricken heat when I saw an Alabang bus. I impulsively raised my hand to stop it and got on, never minding how far I would have to travel just to get to Taft Avenue. At least I knew where Alabang was, and I knew how to get hime from Alabang. Hahaha! The light has been shone. I am now going home safely! :))

Thankfully my guess and strategy worked. Though I paid almost triple of what I should have paid from here to the airport and back, it was worth the adventure, or not. Lesson learned? Know the places you go to beforehand, know how to get there and back. And never, ever, neglect the news announcements. :(

That's it for today folks, another one of my failes escapades. Haha. Btw, about that Chinese hottie I saw at the airport.. I think his name was Joshua. Hahaha. Or just Josh.. I really don't know. Man, of all the names! why'd it have to be just the same name of another Chinese friend I have? Who, when coincidences get freaky, has texted and bidded me goodnight last night. **share. :)
