Not through violence, but through the word alone

I'm finally here

Man it was a long flight. I intended to leave the apartment at 5.30am but ended up leaving at 6- Flight was supposed to be at 9.50am but as with every single flight I go on, it got delayed. And then I arrived in Manila at about half past 1 (Philippine time which is 1 hour behind Japan). Then my next flight was at 4pm. I had to transfer to the domestic flights wing... got lost. I mean seriously, I had to ask some personnel after every 100 metres just to make sure I would get too lost hahha...

I found my Aunt (or rather we found each other) at the airport just in time for boading. Arrived in Davao at half past 6 (of course the flight was a delayed a little bit- sasuga...) I'm cursed with delayed flights really.

Anyway we went to have dinner at KFC with my Aunt and her family. Her three kids which are all so grown up... it was hard to imagine really. The last time I was here, she had only one kid and she was 3. Oh well. Mom told me to do some groceries... but I had no idea what to buy so I had to depend on my Aunt to tell me what to get as well. Hahah, I'm really thankful to her for walking me through everything.

I slept like the dead that night. I think it was from midnight to noon that I slept. The room I slept in had windows but no sunlight was passing through them so I couldn't tell what time it was really. It was already noon, but it still looked like night from the inside hahah... oh well. Slept like the dead last night too, though I know now I'm not as tired as before since I'm back to sleeping lightly.

And today... well today, in a few hours really I'll be picking up the rest of my family from the airport with my Aunt again. Wow. It's kind of great really, here I am with my relatives who I haven't seen in 10 years and then my family who I haven't seen in more than 1 year... hahahah... just goes to show how out of contact I am. Crazy world we're living in.

And in the midst of this all! I just got another email from my professor reminding me (and the rest of my classmates) to finish the essay by the end of this week. My goodness! I know that my mom's probably going to go shopping. My siblings are probably going to go and raid the game centres. Well. I hope in between that I can go and escape to a coffee shop to finish this one last assignment. Just this last one. I mean I have a draft already. I'm nearly finished. (Of course it's always this time when I start running out of ideas too.) It's just this one last one! I can't believe my mind is just giving up on me at this... hahahah. Life. I'm too young for it. Hahahhahah
