I guess I am lucky with my roster. Another standby that turned into a Manila flight. I almost did not want it because my parents nor Dave was in Manila. But, in the end, I'm still thankful God gave me the flight. I had to feel how it is being home again. After 15 days of Leave, going back to Abu Dhabi was like starting all over again.
It was the day after Valentine's Day and a few days after a good friend's birthday, Rosy. Since my parents were not around, and apparently, there was a rally in Makati area. The only people that I was able to bug was Rosy and Katsy. My aunt and cousin from Chicago was also in the Philippines but because of all the fuss in Makati, we were not able to meet one another. And so, Rosy, Katsy and myself went to Glorietta, I bought a new set of MAC brushes, a pair of havaianas and a birthday gift for Rosy. After which, we went to TGIF and had dinner. According to Rosy, everytime I arrive and meet them up, she commits the sin, gluttony. All we do is eat, eat and eat like there is no tomorrow. LoL! It has only been 2 weeks since we went out together but it seems like we never ran out of stories to tell one another. This and that, who and what, where and when. Work, love, life and of course, gossips! LoL! We wanted to watch a movie but Katsy had to go home early and Rosy was going to meet her cousins so maybe next time. Oh, this is my first manila flight that I slept in the hotel room alone. I was convincing Ate Joanne, my brother's wife, to stay with me in the hotel but she was tired and lazy to commute. LoL! I was planning to go to the Mall and have my hair and nails done the next morning but I decided not to and just rest in my room.
A stress-free Manila flight. Eveything was just spur-of-the-moment. No important appointment or date. No to-do list. It was nice. Different from the usual Manila flight I have. Being called on standby isn't that bad. Though I was not able to see my family or Dave. I was able to bond with my friends.
