Sunday, February 9, 2014, it was past midnight (1:25AM), but here I am, still
awake with plenty of thoughts running through my mind. This has been the case
for a few days now. I am two days away from getting on that plane to Bangkok
where this craziness was about to take me. I’ve been having sleepless nights,
wondering what will or will not happen to me, thinking if should go or not go
on this trip and weighing if this is the sane or insane thing to do. So how did
I get into this mess?
Wondering where my next destination will be! Czary 101 |
Let me take you back on the day I booked the plane ticket. It was late
night on July 12, 2013; I was a little groggy from the bottles of red horse (a local beer) I drank
during my friend’s birthday celebration earlier that day. As usual, I went
online to check my Facebook, Instagram and other social media accounts before
going to bed. That was when I came upon the “piso fare” promo for all domestic and international flight of Cebu
Pacific Air posted in their Facebook account. I randomly search for
international flights bound to anywhere.
I did not have any plans of purchasing a ticket anyway, since I have a scheduled
trip to El Nido, Palawan on July 26, 2013. But when I checked the travel period;
it was from January 1 to June 30, 2014. So on a second thought, the trip will
not be happening in the near future and that will give me enough time to plan
and save for my trip. I immediately booked a roundtrip ticket to Bangkok for 10
days thinking that the trip will be easy peasy since Thailand is a backpacker friendly
country.
