Philippine Travel Notes

My flight took off ahead of schedule, I was sure of that. My ticket said ETD was 1655H, eh at that time I was already looking down at south Cebu area. This meant arrival in Singapore just in-time for dinner! First "bad trip" of the flight, I prayed it would be the first-and-last disappointment! Did you notice that? Yes, the window! I was looking at a wonderful sunset, but could not take a good-enough picture due to those many scratches. Anyway, I wasn't sure where we were that time, but my guess would be Carcar. Okay, nothing to do but tunganga . The front of my seat, rightfully claimed my attention! And I smiled! Yes, that illustration on how to open the emergency exit window, in cases of emergency. As I looked at it, somewhere in me was saying " asus, memorized ko na yan ". Yet another part of my brain was saying " bakit, nasubukan mo na ba "? Hahaha, a thing that no one would like to apply "practice makes perfect"! Yes, some of the...

Previously, we covered my transfer-bus experience from domestic terminal T1, until I got off here! Anyway, I walked to the terminal itself. Hmm, it was brighter this time. 10:34AM kasi, not 05:03AM! Yes I looked back,  dahil ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan, ay di makikita ang nakaraan ! Hahaha? And forward again... saying " Terminal 2, here I come for the second of many times... kaya umayos ka "! Hey, these overhead signage are clearer this time. I could read them all. Unlike the last time hehehe! I also said in that last time , that their Check-in Islands (Check-in Rows) are identified from right to left, arranged D, C, B, A instead of ABCD! Walay magbuot! Walang basagan ng trip! Arabo ang gumawa eh! And yes, I turned left again to enter, since I was flying on Air Asia again - even if to SIN, not KUL. The guard told me though, it doesn't matter where you enter - as long as you have proper documents. Wait... isn't something the matter with the flo...

After getting off that flight from Tacloban, I went out of domestic arrivals (T1) to ride the transfer bus to international departure (T2). No pics on the way out, since the friend on the yellow plane called me once her flight landed, proposing lunch! I declined yet she came to watch me wait for my transfer bus! Friend had a very wicked message telling me " maiwan ka sana para mag-lunch kita "! And the bus left! Such a heartfelt message, di ba? Makabagbag-damdamin! That's what friends are for, mga alaskador! As I told you 2 months and 1 day ago , this bus skirts around the hotel (Waterfront) to approach T2. When at the back of the hotel, this bus merges with normal traffic going to either terminal (T1 or T2). Good that they placed those movable (but concrete, heavy) barriers, as the lanes could get confusing! If you look closely, there are two lanes at left. One (new gray asphalt) is the new road that comes from T2 departure area only (it is elevated like a skyway, ...
