The Flight

Forgive me if even this one I still have to write about. Pagbigyan niyo na 'ne? First time ko e. I wanted something to remind me how it felt like the first time I flew. 

☻☺☻☺☻

Despite Dr. Dominguez' don't-worry-about-it-you'll-be-fine advice, I couldn't stop thinking of possible things, embarrassing things, that could happen to me inside the plane. From the time while in the bus on the way to Clark, on the way to DMIA and waiting for the gate to open for boarding, I was really feeling more frightened than excited. Halo-halo na din siguro. But I was good in hiding it. Cool lang. Picture-picture lang with friends.

Boarding

On Board

 

After boarding the craft a few mins later than scheduled time of 12:05PM, hindi pa man nagte-takeoff, parang umiikot na ang sikmura ko. Walang exaggeration, I felt like I was going to die once it readied for take off. I thought of the people, especially my kids, that I would leave behind if ever and felt like crying. Arte lang 'no? But so true.

When it had finally taken off and I felt that was it, I was so relieved. Nevertheless, I was in constant guard of my ears from popping. Like I said in my previous post, I swallowed, yawned, Valsalva Maneuvered every now and then, chewed gum like there was no tomorrow during the entire air travel time. I was seated in a row with Nikki, Niño and Vian in the adjascent row also in an aisle seat like me.

After several mins when seatbelt sign was already turned off, all of them already snoozed off. I so wanted to do so as well because I was awake since 1:30 AM that day, but I wouldn't. 'Yoko nga. Mahirap na. So I was there, in my seat, mulat na mulat and observing any slight movement of the aircraft that made me hold on to my seat's arm rest every single time. Praning lang? Haha. Perstaym e. Pagbigyan na. ^_^

I think thirty minutes into the flight, okay na ako. Then not long after that, the captain was already announcing that the craft was already readying for descent. Ha? Kung kelan naman okay na kami ni flying e? But again, I started to get worried about the descent. Sabi nila (basta sila), the descent is worse than the ascent. True. More popping of the ears. Well, kung pop siya ng pop, yawn-swallow naman ako ng yawn-swallow. 

Success!

The aircraft landed safely. I got out of  it alive still feeling normal. I braved the entire air travel I felt I could do it over and over again and do anything in Palawan. Oh yeah!

 

Sorry if I bored you, guys. But if you've reached reading up to this point, thank yow! ^_^

More on our Palawan escapade up next.
