It’s the crack of dawn as we land towards Manila…after a 6-hour flight from NYC to LA, a 6-hour layover (Thank goodness my Titas picked us up at took us out for dinner–fresh air!!non-airplane food!!), and a 14-hour plane trip, including a 2-hour stopover in Honolulu and about 3 in-flight movies. I slept soundly on a rather smooth flight and bought my Elizabeth Arden Green Tea cologne from the inflight shopping cart ($28 for 2 little bottles!).
On my trip from Manila last month, I created some messy doodles on my Touch, which I call Turbulence Art. Haha. (My meals on the way home were super boring, I guess because of the PAL strike.) In case you’re wondering, I always call up the airline a couple of days before my flight to request for vegan plane food. One of the perks? You ALWAYS get served first. π Here’s one of my doodles.
I have a strong fascination for clouds. I love taking photos of “Cloudscapes” — I even have a photo album on my so-old-that-i-just-ought-to-delete-it Multiply page. It’s also why I choose a window seat all the time–so I can take cloud photos anytime I want. I wish I had a longer view of these amazing cloud scenes. Sadly, it was pitch dark outside my window 99% of the flight.
Sleepy and seeing double.
Β The mountain tops peeking from under the velvety clouds.
That familiar engine hum signaling we’re about to land.
Manila is still sleepy, but I’m getting more excited by the minute!
A stranger saw me at the baggage carousel and called out to me. He said I looked extremely happy. It was only then that I realized I was smiling ear-to-ear and skipping while pushing my luggage trolley! Haha! Well…I would wrap my smile around my head if I could, now that I’m back in the arms of the one I love after a month of being away from home! π
