The Trip On Air

James, the pinoy who helped me, was also on the same flight as i am. he became an instant travel buddy since he was so helpful and approachable. our plane left Dubai at 1:25 AM. for the first time in all of my travels, i seated at the seat located at the middle part of the plane. good thing, it was still on an aisle seat and the pinoys i was seated beside with don't even disturbed me in my sleep. :p they weren't as approachable as James, but at least they weren't pains in the butt. hehe.

the food were so-so. doesn't Cathay change their menu quarterly or yearly at least? nakakasawa na kaya???!! if they want their customers to fly in their planes, they should at least provide some variety in their menu. yeah, there were 2 choices... but if i travel yearly, it means i will encounter the same airline food, every other year. yaiks! now, i am having second thoughts about this airmiles thingy.

after eating at around 2:00 AM, everyone took their good night sleep including me. it was sooo discomforting!! my back aches because of the crouching, my butt aches because of too much seating time, my legs... aahhh... however, due to tiredness and lack of sleep, i managed to snatched a few deep hours of sleep. i was still feeling so drowsy when the flight attendants started to roll down the aisles to distribute breakfast at 7 AM!!! ang aga pa kaya??!!! but then, i came to understand that we were just an hour before reaching our destination that was why they have to let us have our meals that early.

we reached Hong Kong at about 8 AM in my watch, which was sometime past 12 PM local time. we had a 2-hr stop-over and continued the trip around 2:30 PM. we were able to encounter some air packets on air and had some technical problems when the plane landed in Manila airport. we were able to get off the plane a quarter before 5 PM. it was my hubby's uncle nestor and cousin obet, who picked me up at the airport.
