Reyra Point of View:


TODAY IS 1:00 IN THE AFTERNOON I WAS IN THE TAXI GOING TO THE AIRPORT BECAUSE 2:30 P.M IS MY FLIGHT AND I DON'T WANT TO BE LATE. INIWAN KO MUNA ANG CAR KO SA AKING HOUSE BECAUSE HINDI KO NAMAN MADADALA YUN SA KOREA AND 1 WEEK LANG NAMAN AKO DUN. WHILE I WAS IN A TAXI GOING TO THE AIRPORT SUDDENLY MY PHONE STARTS TO RING.

"Oh guys, sasamahan niyo ba ako sa airport? Malapit na ako don" sabi ko habang kitang-kita sa mukha ako ang excitement.

"Ay, yun na nga eh hindi ako makakapuntang airport hindi ako pinayagan ng boss ko, but ingat ka sa flight mo. Just update or call us if nakarating ka na don, okay?" agad na sabi sa akin ni Clersey.

"Ahh ganon ba? Okay lang no worries" sabi ko habang nakangiti.

"Me too. Maraming pinapagawa sa amin today yung boss ko. Kung kailan naman papunta ikaw sa South Korea ay tinambakan pa kami ng works. Sorry Reyra don't worry let's hangout it's my treat if nakauwi ka na dito" sabi sa akin ni Vernale.

"Huwag kayo mag-alala okay lang sa akin, sino ba naman ako para ihatid sa aiport charr lang. Ikaw naman Korz baka naman sabihin mo pa na hindi ka din makakapunta ha, ay nako hindi ka talaga makakasaama kasi nasa LA ka" pabiro kong sabi.

"HAHAHAHA bakit naman inunahan mo ako? Line ko yan eh. Anyway, ingat ka sa flight mo and good luck on your meeting with your company's investors. We'll wait for your call pag nakarating ka na sa South Korea. Bye, I need to go back to work" sabi sa akin ni Korz.

"Bye Korz" sabay- sabay namin sinabi ni Clersey at Vern.

"Wait ang ganda naman ng outfit mo for today, naka-casual attire. I love it bagay sayo" sabi sa akin ni Vernale.

"Actually kanina ko pa yan napapansin, you look stunning on your outfit at may pa shades pa. Artistahin ang aming napakagandang best friend" sabi sa akin ni Clersey.

"Ano maliit na bagay. Okay guys, thank youuu! Andito na ako sa airport, I'll call you back. Bye!" sabi ko then pinatay ko agad yung call.

WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE AIRPORT I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY LUGGAGE AND ENTER THE AIRPORT. SOBRANG DAMING TAO AND BIGLANG NAG-ANNOUNCE YUNG AIRLINES.

"Good afternoon passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight 89B to Incheon South Korea. We are now inviting those passengers with small children, and any passengers requiring special assistance, to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately ten minutes time. Thank you" - Airline Announcement.

"Oh that's my flight, I should go to the entrance gate. Yung passport ko dala ko ba? Check! Yung files, check nasa luggage. Okay, all my things I needed is complete" sabi ko habang nagmamadaling pumunta sa gate.

WHAT THE... ANG DAMI NA PALANG PASAHERO. WHERE IS THE SEAT NUMBER 14? SEAT NUMBER 14, 14.... ITO LANG PALA.

"What can I help you ma'am" sabi sa akin ng flight attendant

"Could you put my two bags here" seryoso kong sabi sa flight attendant then umupo na ako sa designated seat ko.

"Of course ma'am" bigla niyang sagot sa akin then she smiled at me.

AFTER NIYA ILAGAY YUNG 2 BAGS KO SA CABINET SA TAAS IS SHE ASK ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING I NEED THEN I ANSWERED.

"No, there's nothing" sagot ko agad and smile at her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome onboard Flight 4B7 with service from the Philippines to Incheon South Korea. We are currently third in line for take-off and are expected to be in the air in approximately seven minutes' time. We ask that you please fasten your seatbelts at this time and secure all baggage underneath your seat or in the overhead compartments. We also ask that your seats and table trays are in the upright position for take-off. Please turn off all personal electronic devices, including laptops and cell phones. Smoking is prohibited for the duration of the flight. Thank you for choosing Waider Airlines. Enjoy your flight" - Flight Attendant.

I WAS SLEEPING IN MY SEAT FOR ALMOST 3 HOURS SINCE NAG-TAKE-OFF ITONG SINASAKYAN KO NA AIRPLANE. NAGPUNTA AKONG CR THEN PAGLABAS KO BIGLANG BUMUNGAD SA HARAPAN KO YUNG WAITER NA SOBRA KONG KINAIINISAN. I DON'T KNOW WHY HE'S HERE AT THE AIRPLANE OR WHAT IS THE REASON OF HIM COMING TO SOUTH KOREA.

"Wait, ma-am Re..." sabi niya sa akin.

"Ikaw na naman? A-anong ginagawa mo dito? Never mind I don't want to know. So, can you please move aside and excuse me because you're ruining my mood" pagalit kong sinabi sa kaniya habang nakataas ang mga kilay ko, then naglakad na ako papuntang upuan ko.

"Ang sungit naman ni ma'am Reyra but he's still cute. Ano kaya gagawin niya sa South Korea? Is this just a coincidence? If this is a coincidence then thanks to that" - Kreid.

PAGKAUPO KO SINILIP KO FROM MY SEAT YUNG WAITER NA YUN IF HE'S STILL THERE. WHEN I LOOK AT THE ENTRANCE TO CR WALA NA AGD SIYA DON, MAYBE PUMASOK NA SIYA SA CR.

"Reyra tama ang ginawa mo kanina, mission completed. Sinusundan niya ba ako? Stalker siguro siya, or magnanakaw? Pero hindi naman siguro magnanakaw nakasakay siya ng airplane and yung suot niya it looks like expensive. Is he come from the wealthy family, but if he is from the wealthy family why would he work at the cafeteria? Bahala na nga matutulog nalang ulit ako kaysa naman isipin ko pa mga bagay na about sa kaniya, I don't want to ruin my mood" seryoso kong sabi sa sarili ko.

I WAKE UP BEFORE THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS ANNOUNCE THAT WE SAFELY LANDED AT INCHEON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY TWO BAGS AND UMALIS AGAD AKO NG AIRPLANE NA SINASAKYAN KO PARA HINDI NA KAMI MAGKITA NUNG WAITER NA YUN. PAGDATING KO SA LABAS NG AIRPORT AY NAGMASID AKO SA PALIGID IF THAT WAITER IS FOLLOWING ME, AS EXPECTED NAKITA KO SIYA PAPALABAS NG AIRPORT. 

NAGMADALI AGAD AKO TUMAWAG NG TAXI PARA HINDI NIYA AKO MAKITA AT MAABUTAN SA LABAS, BUTI NALANG NAKAHANAP AGAD AKO NG TAXI AT SUMAKAY AGAD AKO BAGO NIYA PA AKO MAKITA. MEANWHILE, HINGAL NA HINGAL AKO KAKAMADALI KONG LUMABAS NG AIRPORT.

"Hoah, salamat hindi niya ako nakita" sabi ko sa sarili ko habang ang bilis pa rin ng tibok ng puso ko dahil sa kaba.

"Excuse me, is there any condominium near here?" sabi ko sa driver.

ENGLISH ANG SINASABI KO KASI, I AM IN SOUTH KOREA I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK KOREAN LANGAUGE.

"Yes, there is one condominium near here, it is XERMIN Condominium. Would you like to go there ma'am? It has a best service here in Incheon" sabi niya while he was driving.

"Yes, I would like to. I just want to ask if you know how I can go to Seoul, I just want to visit there on Saturday? seryoso kong sabi sa kaniya.

"Yes ma'am, I know how you can get there. First, once you are in XERMIN Condominium you can ask the taxi to drop you off at the bus stop so you can go to Seoul. You need to be there before 7:00 in the morning if you have a lot of places you wanted to visit in Seoul" mahinahon na pagpapaliwanag sa akin nung rider.

"Okay, thank you" sagot ko sa kaniya.

AFTER 20 MINUTES IN OF RIDING IN THE TAXI I ARRIVED AT THE XERMIN CONDOMINIUM. WHEN I ENTERED THE CONDOMINIUM, I WAS AMAZED AT ITS BEAUTIFUL AND FASCINATING STYLE OF THIS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE OWNER OF THIS CONDOMINIUM WAS SO ELEGANT AND RICH. SOBRANG TAAS NG CONDOMINIUM NA ITO, I AM HOPING NA MAPUNTA SA AKIN NA ROOM AY MATAAS AND MAGANDA ANG VIEW.

"Annyeonghaseyo, what can I help you?" sabi sa akin nung nag-a-assist.

"I want a room for me, I have a favor can I get a room on floor 40 or if there is no available room on that floor maybe 41 and above? I like to have a fascinating view up there" sabi ko sa nag-a-assist ng rooms.

"Wait ma'am give me a minute, I'm looking at it.... Yes ma'am we have one left available room for floor 40 it was room 408, you can now sign here" sabi sa akin then she smiled.

"Okay, here is my card" agad kong sabi sa kaniya.

"Here ma'am, take your card and this is your key for room 408, you can go straight there and you will see the elevator. Thank you and have a nice evening" mahinahon niyang sabi sa akin.

AFTER KONG MAKUHA YUNG CARD KO AND YUNG KEY NG ROOM KO IS DUMIRETSO NA AKO SA ELEVATOR PAPUNTA SA ROOM KO. WHEN I GOT TO MY ROOM I IMMEDIATELY TAKE A BATH FOR 30 MINUTES AND THEN I PUT ALL MY CLOTHES INSIDE THE CABINET. WHEN I FINISHED UNPACKING I STARTED TO REVIEW ALL THE FILES AND ONE PRESENTATION I WILL BE PRESENTING TO THE INVESTORS TOMORROW.
