After dinner was done, my parents told me to go to sleep early because we would be leaving Manila at around 5:00 a.m., So I did just that. I entered my room, and the first thing I saw was that all of my stuff was packed. They were cardboard boxes scattered across my room, with permanent ink labels written on them, that contained my stuff, my parents must have done this while I was away fishing. You sighed, "I'm going to miss this room" I whispered to myself, laying a hand on my wall.
         
I set my alarm at 5:00 a.m., brushed my teeth, and changed into my favorite pajamas, I cozied myself into my bed, turning on my night light because one embarrassing thing about me is that I can't sleep in the dark, sometimes! Only sometimes, I guess I'm just too paranoid for my own good, oh well. I then saw my cat jump on the bed and snuggle in with me, and I hugged the precious little furball back. I felt my eyes growing heavy and drifted off to Dreamland.                           


8 hours later        

BEEP
         

BEEP

         
BEEP
         
         
BEEP
         

You groaned as you heard the nuisance of an alarm beeping near me, your arm extending out to dismiss the source that was taking my resting soul. You opened your squinting eyes, rubbing them to get the puncturing, bone-dry gunk as you bent forward your spine.
         
The first thing you saw when your vision came to view, were the same cardboard boxes, still scattered across your room. It reminded you of why you woke up at 5:00 a.m. again. 'Right, tonight's the night we move, yay...'
           

After all the packaged contents of the L/N's house were moved to the moving boat by the boat transport services, the L/N family then got on their canoe and looked back at all the villagers of Manila, as the L/N family waved goodbye to them all
"Goodbye," the L/N family said.
         
"Goodbye, farewell, we hope you visit, may good come to you on your journey, have fun in Korea," all the citizens of Manila said.
             
As you stared at her hometown it kept on getting smaller every minute as you sailed further away, you spoke up with tears in your eyes, "Goodbye, Manila, ... my home"
         
You then saw your mom and dad put a hand on both your shoulders giving you a comforting smile, which made you feel a little better, prompting you to wipe your tears away.


After a few minutes of sailing, you wanted to say something, "Hey Dad," his gaze shifted to you as you spoke up to him, "Yeah?" 

"Um, I was just wondering how long it will be until we arrive at South Korea?"
         
"Around a day" he answered. 

"A day? cool! I thought it would take longer, but I'm glad we will arrive there around 24 hours" You were relieved that it would take sooner than you thought because when it comes to patience, it doesn't run smoothly with you.
         
"Oh, and another thing, and I should've asked you this before but, I can't believe I-, we get to see the entire Pacific Ocean while we move to Sooga, I've always wanted to see this ocean up close, you've made a great choice choosing to sail as a move-in."
         
"I'll admit the Pacific Ocean does look quite beautiful from this view" your mom replied.
