I Miss the Beach...

Because my family went to Boracay without me... I posted this video of the firedancing I videotaped last June, when I went to the island with my friends...

I really miss going to the beach. Unlike Manila, you can easily go to the beach when you live in Bacolod. That's why I'm planning to go home and make the most out of my 2-week stay in my hometown! Bacolod, see you December!!! ^,^

Travel: What Do You Wear at the Airport?

Last month, I was gearing up to go to Boracay with my college friends. Our trip was on June 4-6 but I booked a flight for Bacolod so I could go with them to the island. While I was waiting for my 4am Philippine Airlines flight for Bacolod, I wrote something that I was planning to blog. I never got to doing it though since I was so busy. Here it is:

Sitting patiently and drinking my steaming cup of hot chocolate, I wait for my plane. I am on my way to the City of Smiles but will only be there around 30 minutes. My college friends (Jesna, Jen, and Hannah B.) and I have planned to go on a mini-reunion in Boracay. We’ve been planning the big trip since a month ago and I can’t believe I’m finally here at the airport, an hour away from boarding time. It also signifies the beginning of my vacation.

Looking back to 8 months ago, I also had a similar flight with a certain someone. We were waiting in the same spot for our plane to arrive and go to the same city. That trip should have been something that we never took. I wonder what would happen now if we never got on that plane…

Although I have had my fair share of plane rides, there is simply something that ignites my curiosity. I have long noticed that people in terminals love to dress up while waiting for their flight. At the same time, I always end up looking drag for my flight.

While there are people who wear red trench coats made out of wool (on a hot Manila summer day) or suede stiletto boots, I look down and find myself wearing something comfortable: a pair of turquoise Havaianas, shorts, a shirt and jacket.

For this, I ask: what do you wear when waiting to go on a big trip? Should you go all fancy or choose to be comfortable? Do tell, I’m all ears.
