0.000 HBDMy first experience riding on a plane
<center>  It was our flight going to Manila last January 27, 2018, 1550H, I was so twitchy at that time because it was my first time to ride an airplane. I was looking to the surrounding; observing everything. When I read the instructions and the other things that are not allowed inside the airplane, I asked my elder sister @kneelyrac because I brought my perfume, my umbrella and my elder sister’s mini sword collection from the famous anime Sword Art Online.  I forgot to leave it behind because I always put it in my favorite sling bag. I wasn’t able to think clearly when our things are about to be examined. I was worried and my sister was mad because of her sword might be left behind. However, I was half thankful enough because the security wasn't able to detect it or they detected it yet they just brushed it off.  We waited for our flight since we arrived at Laguindingan airport by 2:00 in the afternoon, so we waited in the waiting area in front of gate 2. Minutes have passed, the Cebu Pacific announcer announced that our flight will be delayed. I was really bored.  After 3.5 hours of waiting, the airplane arrived by 5 then the Cebu pacific announcer announced that we can now board the plane. By the time we're on the plane, the sun was about to set and a bit drizzle. My sister even took a picture of the plane before we went up.   Our seat was in 19B and 19C so basically, our first ride was not on the window side. I was just observing inside the plane because that’s what our parents told us so that other people can’t notify us that it is our first time but it can’t be helped especially when the plane was about to board exactly 1720H in Laguindingan airport and we were bound to arrive in Manila by 1845H.    I will never forget how I felt at that time. It is so unexplainable on my stomach like I was jumping on a cliff while on a chair or having a butterfly on my stomach. Whatever it was, all I can say is I’m having an unexplainable feeling while I make grimace on my face. I know I looked ugly while smiling but it can’t be helped.   >The plane was started to take off *** We kept on taking pictures on the window with my sister even though our seat belt was still on and there was a man who’s seating near the window. We were so amazed by the breathtaking views that we saw at that afternoon because we both love sunsets or sunrise. Minutes had passed and the 'Fasten Seat Belt' sign was now off, so we were allowed to move or go to the comfort room. The guy who’s seating on 19A, near the window, excused himself to go to the bathroom after that my elder sister moved to his seat 19A and I moved to 19B. We were so happy that we kept on taking photos and we can also feel the air pressure in our ears, then the guy who was seating on 19A before moved to my previous seat 19C, I told him I’m sorry but he said “no it’s okay, I’ve been riding on a plane countless times because of my job and I know it’s your first time so the pleasure is all mine” so I was thankful because he let us moved near the window. But I asked my sister, he said that the guy offered to have an exchange seat.     *** My elder sister was so busy looking outside in the window then later on the guy beside me who’s about 30’s or 40’s asked me where are we going. I told him in Manila and we're staying in Rizal province. He was kind and even told me that we are going to ride this and so on and so forth. I told him that we have our relatives waiting for us at the airport so he just said okay. After that my elder sister fell asleep and so am I but I woke up because of my ear so when I looked outside I can see the twilight and I woke my elder sister, she has the red eyes and she hurriedly covered her ears because of the pressure. I told her to watch the window, then suddenly mesmerized by city lights below. Again, Ate (meaning eldest sister) took the pictures while I was just looking down even though I can’t see it clearly because ate was a hindrance in my view and also, my phone got battery low.    *** The pilot announced that there's traffic and there will be a delay in the plane landing. It was 1845H at that time, and the plane was supposed to land on NAIA terminal 3, however, the pilot took us some rounds in the sky due to the traffic. With that, the city lights seeing for the whole Manila was lengthened and we were so amazed by it, then the Fasten Seat Belt was turned on, and that means we're about to land.    *** When we were about to land again, I am having that unexplainable feeling again and I can’t help to make a steady face. I'm afraid that the guy beside me laughed at me because of my reaction. I felt so embarrassed that I turned my head facing the floor. I couldn't help but laugh at myself too.  >the plane was about to land off It was exactly 1900H when we arrived in NAIA that the guy asked us if we were having an extra luggage. We said no we don't have and we only brought 2 bag packs and 2 sling bags in each of us. He helped us took our bag then we went outside, he said that we were going to ride a shuttle because NAIA is so big and that shuttle will be going to take us in the waiting and arrival area in the airport. We hurriedly went down the plane and it was almost full but thankfully, we were able to sit on the shuttle.   > a blurry selfie in front of the plane. I was amazed by the shuttle because it looks like a bus in South Korea; after less than 5 minutes we arrived at the airport. We were about to arrive in the arrival area and we looked for our daddy (our grandfather supposedly; a brother-in-law of our nana or our grandmother) who was waiting for us. It took us a couple of minutes to find our Daddy who's wearing a white jersey with a big 44 on it and a cap. By the time we found him, we, sisters, immediately 'mano' or bless him (a gesture showing respect to the elders here in the Philippines). Then, we hurriedly went to the parking area because our mommy or his wife (our grandmother, the youngest sister of my nana) was in the car and with our 2 cousins. And, we hit the road going to Rizal province and share to them our first flight and some stories to catch up those years.  > it's our daddy Daniel, supposedly he's our grandfather since he is the partner of our mommy (the youngest sister of our nana)   >The short girl on my right side is Niña she's my cousin, and on the left side is the sister of my nana or grandmother, mommy Joy, she's actually our grandmother but she preferred to call her mommy since she is the youngest on their siblings, the girl who's wearing stripes is Austin, still my cousin and actaully a part time model and young actress and in front is my ate @kneelyrac. ***Most of the photos are from my ate @kneelyrac*** *** Check Out My Previous Post: [The Asong Pinoy that I gave bread](https://steemit.com/life/@goiinmary/the-aspin-dog-that-i-gave-bread) *** ### That would be all guys! ### Thanks for dropping by!! https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7btTZZmL1HxIgsOk/source.gif *** ⚓ goiinmary ⚓ *** *** Hi everyone!!
