"Philippine Airlines flight PR 123 is now boarding at Gate 22" says the announcement over the loudspeaker.
"About damn time" I say to myself. I can't wait to go home. It's been awhile since I've gone home. I wonder what Mom will say when she finds out that I'm taking some time off from work for a vacation. It will probably shock the hell out of her. Well, it's more like a forced vacation imposed by my doctor, but she does not need to know that. In fact no one knows needs to know what really happened to me but only my assistant, Tessie. Tessie had to unfortunately babysit me while I was in the hospital. I have to make sure I bring her a pasalubong when I go back to Manila. I'm sure she's also glad that I'm taking some time off which means she gets to take it easy too since I'm not there at work.
I board the plane and settle myself in my seat. I put my Beats earbuds in my ears, turn on my Spotify channel on my phone and put it in shuffle mode. Well, vacation starts now! Bring on the relaxation, gluttony and sleeping in.
Pretty random yet upbeat songs play successively on my phone. Wow! How did I go from NWA to Taylor Swift then Nirvana on my channel? I guess I have a diverse collection of songs but never realized it.
Then BAM! A freakin' slow song comes on and my mood takes a nosedive. (Not really a good mental picture when you are in an airplane thirty thousand feet up in the air!) Michael Jackson's One Day in Your Life comes on and my mind just starts to go to depression mode.
I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to shed one more tear.
One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Do you still remember our place Ton?
Someone touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll
One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
I thought, no FELT, that we both found love then
You'll remember me somehow
I know you see me, but do you remember what we found together back then?
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
Don't think there is any more room in your heart for me now.
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day
One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For a love we used to share
I know I've been waiting, hoping, wishing...
Just call my name, and I'll be there
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
Do I want to be needed or wanted?
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day
One day in your life
When you find that you're always lonely
For a love we used to share
I've been lonely for you for years now...
Just call my name, and I'll be there
But will you be there when I call your name?
