stuck in the line of misadventures (well not anything major haha)
July 2, 2008
i packed everything in one bag, got 2 mobiles in case something happened i will have an extra. my flight is at 7.30 in the evening. i put my mobile, my wallet and camea in my shorts pocket, mind you, i got only 3 shorts packed because i checked the temperature beforehand and it said its gonna be hot and humid in andalucia, with more than 40 degrees yet i still wonder why my damn backpack was heavy!!! hahahhaha.
as i was in duesseldorf airport and about to check in - i got iberia air only for 107 euros roundtrip - not bad really. i went in line for the check in. then all the people with eu passports have no problem and got in smoothly and when it was my turn - the person behind the counter checked my residence permit in the intranet, since i only have an extension permit it took the guy like 5-6 times to type my name and find it in the schengen records it was embarrasing because people were already looking at me.
after those twist and turns - finally he was able to find my name. i was red with embarrasment - hurried to the xray check in. i was in a fucking trance mode - that i forgot to take my mobile out from my pocket and when it went through the xray machine - everyone was in a chaos and suddenly i saw i a big bald tall man peering at me hahahahahaha. he started checking me and the staff who was in my check in line got reprimanded and the staff of the check in line reprimanded me hahahah hahahahah hahaha.
sometimes i think all the people in duesseldorf knew me already with my embarassing moments and my funny looking face. :P
then at the waiting area, i got an sms from robbo and said that his flight will be delayed for 2 hours, so that means i/we will wait for 3 hours - fair enough for the other people. then after 5 minutes i got an sms from lori and that their flight will be delayed too! aaarghhhhhhhhhh which means i will be alone at the airport for 4 HOURS! F-U-C-K - i mean its not a problem to wait for 1-2 hours but for 4 hours its too much for me.
my flight was still in daylight - so i can see spain from the plane while it was landing over spain - and oh my god! the landscape was amazing, mountains, deep valleys - brown and yellow earth with patches of green on it.
exciting and doubtful questions are coming from my mind - will this be worth it? i would still yet to know.
i arrived at madrid very smoothly and waited like 48 hours just to get my bag. now the most challenging part of it was how would i spend 4 hours waiting. i didnt brought a book - because i cant read a book if there are people, lights and open spaces around me. i went to the cafe in the arrival area and had sandwich - because i havent eaten inside the plane because the foods are not free 1 can of coke costs FIVE FUCKING EUROS hahahaha WHAT?!! NEVER IBERIA AIR AGAIN! hahhahahaha.
so i ate sandwhich while i was waiting and all these people - spanish people surrounded me, i was smiling because i can partly understand the language withouth effort. which the language was buried in my subconscious are beginning to open up.
i spent a FULL hour inside the cafe, got outside and smoked and looked at my clock and it said its juts minutes after 11 pm - so i still had more than 2 hours to spend alone - i might as well check the subway schedule and it closes at 1.30 am the guyzs will arrive at 1 am - so im hoping that they would arrive in the fucking time! hhhahahah
