glad to be home

arrived in manila a few hours ago after about 24 hours of travelling from US. i'm still reeling from lack of sleep and fascinated and bewildered at the same time to notice that funky manila smell: mausok. i guess one only notices it after leaving the country for so long (as if). my brother was telling how good i smell, i guess i smell like a newly opened balikbayan box from US hehe.

anyways. i'm leaving in a few hours to go back to the airport TO GET MY LUGGAGE. something went wrong with the luggage compartment of our plane. either we we wait til 330 am (we arrived almost 11pm) or have our bags delivered to our house. the delivery option would've been ok but we have to authorize the airline company to open our luggages for inspection. a big no-no. i have bags there. as in bags i brought for myself and for pasalubong. good thing i placed the sport watches i brought for my dad and brother on my carry-on bag (thanks to the nightmare i had in new jersey about coming to manila and finding the watches stolen from my luggage). i so wanted to hit the pillow and sleep for hours and hours. looks like sleep has to wait.
