Complete again

We came from the airport to pick up Joy. Finally, I saw NAIA 3. Take note, it’s gigantic and super clean! I went to the restroom and again, take note, it’s also super clean and super bango! Hmmm, Hehehe

Joy has a lot of stories to tell. She counted her blessings today. I wanna share it to you for you to be blessed coz I myself was blessed after listening to her.

FIRST: Cab Fare- The normal fare from her place to Mactan airport is Php250. She asked the cab driver if she can get a discount since she’s a student. He agreed and she saved Php50. That’s the wonderful art of negotiation! Haha

SECOND: Excess Baggage- From knapsack to carry-on bags, she had it. She texted me, “Ate, mukhang mag-e excess baggage ako. Ang dami kong dala.” I asked her the normal kilo, she told me it’s 15 kilos only but she has more than that. Then she texted back, “kailangang agahan ko sa airport kasi makikipag kaibigan ako sa konti ang dala.” (Tama ba yun?) When she arrived she told me her story. She was allowed up to 20 kilos since she booked her flight early compare to others. The rest excess baggage, napakiusapan na lang. (Sa mga maraming bagahe lagi pag umaalis, you know that it is a blessing!)

THIRD: Delayed Flight- They announced that the flight will be delayed. If you’re like Joy who is so excited to go home, it is definitely an irritation but she was patient enough tS wait. Truly, a good attitude is a factor, patience is a virtue. She heard her name and ayun, pasok sa original departure time. She arrived in Manila the exact time we were expecting it.

FOURTH: Naiwan na box- We were already at home when she noticed that she left a box at the airport. I asked her if it’s important, she told me her yes so we went back to NAIA. Buti na lang, malapit kami sa airport! There, she claimed it!

FIFTH: Good Weather- It’s raining cats and dogs and really it’s never a good condition to travel by plane with some turbulence. Everything can be controlled except the weather, so Joy was really thankful to God for the great weather today. She left Cebu in sunny day and arrived in Manila with few rain drops.

Hay, I am ultimately happy coz Marc is on my left and Joy is on my right. (I am including my little cousin JC who is currently my best friend) We are complete again!! Hehehe, Being an ATE is one of the best jobs in the world, maybe next to motherhood. I loved it ever since! I am an ATE who listens to my siblings stories every night and day, an ATE who cares for my siblings 24-7, an ATE who picks up her younger sister from the airport and goes back again, so on and so on. It’s never gonna end. I will always be an ATE even though they are already married, they have children and until I am alive, they can always count on me and I am always here for them. (Ang drama!) It’s just a new revelation. Hehe

At the huge NAIA 3

So lesson learned today: Love your siblings. Be their greatest friend and confidant.
