Tales of A Commuter - Chicago Edition Week 1

Sa NAIA pa lang, nagsimula nang bloopers ko. This trip made me realize a lot of things..and one of them is how wimp i truly am. As in....let's start...

Blooper girl galore

Bloop #1: Teary-eyed ena entering the NAIA terminal, looking back at na2r and mama, then grabbed the luggage push cart. But it's not running smoothly. We're looking at the queue and finding out where to line up for check-in. The cart's still not budging. Well, it does but sobrang hirap. Until manong said, "ma'am, you have to push on the handle bar for it to move". Okay, di nya sinabi yun, ina-act nya lang.. hehehe. so ayun naman pala, kelangan pang ganon. ~!@!@!#@

Bloop #2: The one thing I was looking forward in this trip is the Nagoya lay-over. So after the 5-hr flight from Manila, I'm really excited to see Japan, even if I'm only to see the airport. Before going into the connecting flight pre-dept area, we had to once again surrender our things into the X-Ray and the Nihon guy checks our passport and boarding pass. I had my boarding pass printed coz i checked-in online and when i showed it to him, he said "NO". Then I showed my printed airline itenerary/ticket, he said "NO". Ena's thought: "syet syet baka maiwan ako sa japan....okay lang din hehehehe". Then I showed him the boarding pass again, this time opening it and slapped it in his face (well hindi slap pero pinamukha ko sa kanya yung boarding pass), he said "Ah, Yes" whew! that was close.

Bloop #3: One second later, same guy, same place, I'm placing my hand-carry luggage into that little basket for the X-ray. I placed the little pillow that na2r gave me in the basket, he withdrew it and gave it back to me. I held it, placed all the other things into the basket and attempted to go in. Nihon guy practically shouted: " Matte! Matte!" and got the pillow from me. Aba! buti na lang naintindihan ko sya; at sya naman ang nagsoli nung pillow sa akin tapos tatawag-tawagin nya ako. hmph

Commercial #1: Just to show that I so loved the lay-over at Nagoya.....

Bloop #4: I was installing Chikka while cooking dinner on my second night here. Back and forth ako sa kitchen and living room (which is just 5 steps away), then I got busy with the configuration of Chikka and this is what happened:



burnt dinner. huhu.

Now on to my Wimpness...

Wimp #1: When I arrived in Oakwood, Di ko mabuksan yung mineral water bottle (complimentary of the house), si Khandice pa nagbukas. tsk tsk. Just shows how much I'm dependent of my na2r... x_x

Wimp #2: Nag-plantsa ako ng office clothes tapos di ko masara yung ironing board. hayup naman mga gamit dito sa amerika, hindi wimp-friendly. arrghs!

Wimp #3: Since wala ako room mate and wala din si Khandice, di ko pa din mabuksan yung isa pang mineral water bottle.

Wimp #4: I can't make the can opener work properly! akalain mo yun!?!?! kasi ours at home is so oldie that I can't make the advanced one work. what a shame!

That's my first week....more bloopies and wimpness I bet. =P
