The cool breeze of midst from an airplane runs through my fainted face while waiting to take off, I felt nervous and some kind of excited. Leaving in a place where you grow old will surely an adventure for me. It makes me think that I have freedom to do things on to the other side waiting for me. That was all in my mind then. As the plane goes on a take off I see the ground from my window getting smaller and smaller. Quite radical for me to see that view which lingers on me the questions what am I doing here? Why do I need to do this? What kind of world waiting for me on that place? I am alone?
It’s now safe to turn on a laptop which what I’m waiting for ‘cause I really feel dizzy and I think a lot which is not good like crashing the plane and having trouble with my stomach and that would be so disgusting. While the crew remind passengers on those instructions and policies concern regarding the plane and browsing pictures from a laptop I see one which reminds me of something a person that makes my life worthwhile and meaningful and it makes me feel better then. It helps me a lot while flying going to Iloilo for an official business trip.
The midst of air blown out to my face again coming from the plane which indicates that we already arrive at the Iloilo, even though I really don’t know the place I just pretend that I’m no stupid on being there and I have the guts that it would be a nice day for me. I just wait for the others to go out first so I could take some pictures on the plane. (trip ko eh, bakit ba?) Very nice and clean airport out there different from what’s on my mind, the place is really cool and the crews is very hospitable which relaxed me staying on the port. With a smile and thinking I’m now at the place I considered as adventure for me. A hint from my cell phone comes, a text massage says that a van is waiting for me outside that will helps me to go the place where am I heading for. On the van I see the city which is really different again from what I am thinking. At least as I expected. I just wonder on that point that expectation will not always followed you all the time. Expecting on someone or something will never be yours if you aren’t try knowing of the person or the place by merely asking and searching for it. On to the place where I am starting to do my work trip at Iloilo I still had lots of expectation on to the place and to the people I am working with. And as usual, I still didn’t get what I expected.
For any other reason, I felt sadness and loneliness on my part. I don’t know maybe because I expect too much on things. Or maybe I’m just carried away on my first trip to Iloilo. Or maybe I’m alone on the trip. I don’t know then, but I still do the purpose on my trip to audit and help the one in charge on the operation for him to simplify his job and easily understand the way he operates the business. Two days of auditing flows okay and relevant on our part. A day before going back to Manila, I decided to go to Bacolod wherein not a strange place for me baka dun mas okay kasi nga may kasama ako at kakilala na pwede ko masama sa galaan. Bacolod never changes after two years still the city of smiles which is different again for what I am expecting. Ganun pa din, ang mga tao, ang lugar at sa lahat walang nabago. Again for the second time around, naramdaman ko na naman yung lungkot at pagiisa. Ewan ko ba, ang alam ko nung time na yun na gusto ko na umuwi ng Manila. Bigla ko naramdaman yung pagkamiss sa Manila.
Now that I’m back here in Manila I am very much okay. At nadiscover ko din na masayang magtravel kung wala kang iniwang bagay na alam mong may malaking epekto sa’yo at di sa lahat ng pagkakataon ang ineexpect mo at ginagawa mo eh tama sa sarili mo at sa kapwa mo.
