Our Negative and Positive Experience at the Airport

We woke up early last Saturday to fetch my cousin, Rose Ann, who works at Australia and will be taking her 2weeks vacation at Cebu.  Since she’ll be having connecting flights with her sister, Ate Mae, we fetch her from International Airport then drove them to PAL Terminal 2.  We were kinda late, since her plane touched down at 5AM and we were able to arrive at the airport around 7am.  When we were loading her things to the jeep (my dad owns one).  An airport personnel “assisted” us.  He really didn’t assist, he was just trailing behind.  After we load all Rose Ann’s things, this is what he said to my cousin:

Personnel:  Ma’am baka naman meron kang Australian souvenir para sa kin o kahit Singapore dollars na lang.

My mom gave him Php100. Ayaw nya umalis unless we give him something.  And to think we were revolted to learn that NAIA is one of the world’s worst airport?!  This is how we treat our kababayans, what more foreigners di ba?  Haaaay….

On a positive note, their flight to Cebu via PAL is scheduled at 12noon, since we were already at the airport around 8AM, they checked in agad.  The good thing was, the 9am flight was not fully-booked, so they were allowed to board that flight! Yey! They were at Cebu before their scheduled flight. J

Neo with his titas

Tita Rose’s pasalubong to Neo is big Nutella jar and some chocolates.  Tsk tsk… we were trying to avoid sweets sana for Neo…

Since we have a free afternoon, we decided to have Neo’s well-baby check-up, plus we are still looking for a pedia for Neo.  If you can recommend someone nice to babies at Cavite area, please leave a comment. I’ll have a separate post about looking for a good pedia – misis maarteng mommy kasi ako.

We were super pagod last Saturday, so yesterday, after going to church, we rested the whole afternoon.  The whole afternoon and early evening spent sleeping by mama and baby.  Whew! Sarap.

How was your weekend?

Ciao!
