The best part about being in Manila is the great food, excellent company and the quintessential urban culture. Nothing like it for a probinsiyana like moi! ;)
As the sun rose with all its glory, I watched the sky intently with only two hours of sleep and thought of you again, only to shut my eyes hard as I feel them burn with the bright, blinding light. Then slowly being soothed by Ben Harper's voice singing "She's Only Happy In The Sun".
A few minutes after, I was jolted back to reality when I heard the good captain announce our slow descent, interrupting my wandering thoughts of you and me, together again after quite a while. How my imagination ran wild!
It wasn't long when I felt my stomach churn as we defied gravity.
Approximately 3 years had passed since I took a flight alone and it's these times I could confirm how misery loves company. Traveling is great. I'd jump on the next flight to New Calhedonia or some unknown land had I the luxury of time, money, and of course the company of cariño mio. Alas! How deprived I am of these right now...
But that will change soon. Very soon...
In the meantime, here's my 8-hour trip to the Malaking Lupa.
