aug10, 2008 its time to say goodbye to my family especially sophia,mama and mario and my relatives and friends...

around 5am mama,juvie, sophia and i went to antipolo church to pray eat mcdonalds for breakfast..went to alimall to buy clothes i can wear going to the airport and have my last massage from the philippines kc for sure sasakit katawan k kakabuhat ng elders dito haha..at sa lamig...

around 400pm im starting to pack my things wala akong damit ni isa haha...ung suot k lng at 3 underwear ;) left qc around 5pm and got to the airport around 620pm...nagcheckin nko..sa naia centennial 2

xray, then went to pal ticketing office to get my e-ticket...they weigh my bag and chineckin na...then the pal officer said i have to pay tax around 1650 aside from the travel tax of 750...went ahead to pay those fees just straight ahead its near the immigration booth..and then ung guy sobrang bait sbe nya sken sige wag kana magbayad ng tax...imagine discounted ang 1650 sbe ko sobrang thanku kuya..smile naman xa

so u can go out..with ur family before the boarding period...dont go to immigration office yet...

waited until 830pm..boarding time is 945 but you have to be in by 9pm...we ate at the canteen, prayed ang mahal ng softdrinks sa airport 50 in can lng ha...sosyal!,

time to say goodbye,,,i will surely miss sophia mae (love u anak,, mommy will see u soon)

headed to immigration office and passport stamped..then xray remove shoes...they took my papaya atsara out...sayang padala panaman ng uncle k from bataan to my dad,,remember pwede sya bsta nasa bagahe...

no water / liquid above 3 oz.

headed inside another xray...i got 42a seat...near the window...sarap ng dinner at breakfast ng pal...

ang tagal ng biyahe kakainip ...ive already slept 4x im still on the plane...when i got there sa sfo 8pm maaga pa parang 3pm lng kc daw summer...

ang tagal sa immigration sa united states...mga 2 hrs kme hinold lhat ng new immigrants isa lng tinanong sken when is the date of ur marriage...then i told them that i have to change the address..

went out of the airport 10pm na dad and my younger sister fetch me ...we took the bart train going home

tpos sa house nlng kme ni papa nageat...

the following day hanap nko ng work ...tpos tomorrow ill go and inquire about ssn #..grabe dito khit summer malamig paren 3x ng baguio....parang nakaaircon ksa room
