top of the world

Well actually just the eastern part of the Philippines.

'Tis the day of my first plane ride. Meaning also my first airport experience (where do I pay the terminal fee? And I need seat in row 17, 18 or 19. What now? Row 11? *grumble*).

Highlights:
1. The stewardess who checked the boarding pass things was a Jaboom twin.
2. I was like 8 rows away from Dale and Jasser, but only a row away from the nearest co-worker
3. The onboarding vids were weird. And it bothered me. But I have to be able to save my life when something happens.
4. I did not really know what to expect so it was fun. And a bit scary and painful in the ears.
5. I was up and staring out the window the whole time. I did not even eat the munchies they give out. I chugged in my water nervously.

And now I can honestly say that I have survived my first plane ride. Now I brace myself for the second, this Wednesday.

It's also my first time to go to Albay/Legaspi/Tiwi and so far it has been pleasurable. Mayon is , and (not) surprisingly very large.

I missed the cheering competition this year (no tickets, no TV) but at least I got to go someplace. By plane!

*will post Mayon pictures if there are decent ones* (I know this is mababaw but.)
