Philippine Travel Notes

After that short stint at MOA and my happy stay at Mictrotel MOA , time to head back to Cebu slovakia! This was an uneventful trip, nothing much, except that I, the promdi, noted a few things along the way! I saw interesting things like this JW Diokno Blvd. , which was non-existent the last time I passed here! What I do remember is: this was a "road under construction" where the conyos would hold drag races. On Macapagal Avenue (ah okay, I know this one), we climbed up to a skyway that is 'NAIA X' (I think). Ah, ang ilalim nito alam ko! We just passed by Quirino Ave. cor. MIA Road, Tambo, Paranaque. O ha?! The forking skyway? Left is Electrical Road, right is Sunrise Road papuntang gate ng Concorde Village if you were down at ground level! O, alam nyo ba yan?! Actually, both 'Electrical' and 'Sunrise' run along the side of a creek called 'estero' or 'Baclaran Creek' though its full name is Estero De Tripa De Gallina . FYI,

Where, for any flight out of Manila you had to fall in line outside of the terminal from 30 minutes to an hour? Where check-in for a Cebu Pacific flight was like queuing up for school enrollment or NBI Clearance? Where, after check-in, waiting for flight boarding was like waiting at a government office?! Ah, those were the days of yore hehe! Younger folks who have not experienced those ’nakahihibang’ situations have a lot to be thankful for hehe! But we the young at heart air-travelers in this country who gruelled, grimaced and scrimmaged it out at the airports now have a lot reminisce. Memories, dark as they were, but still memories worth remembering hehe! Look now! The Manila Domestic Airport looks fantastically different! Somehow, somewhere in me says ’sana hindi na nila gibain ito’ hahaha! For the
