Thousands of Feet Above the Sky Before I Debark to the Land of Morning Calm

December 15, 2011

Two months ago, in this very time of this very day, I am standing at the check-in counter to check my luggage in because in two hours time I will be going to the land of the morning calm, South Korea.

This trip was the most-awaited trip because thought I will be seeing South Korea only in television shows. I am sort of a fan of Korean dramas (I even have a research paper about Hallyu Wave).  This trip was headed by our college. I was with our Dean and my College of Arts and Sciences –mates.

Let me tell you something about my trip to South Korea two months ago. This blog can be soooo detailed so readers can imagine my story.

I’ll share some pictures too! ^^

(As if you care...) This was me (my luggage, my bag, and many things) at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal One, preparing to check-in ^^ I wore our program shirt and long sleeves because they say that IT WAS COLD IN SOUTH KOREA. ^^ I don't really have a great fashion sense so don't mind my outfit.

I like to share something about the airbus that we rode that time. Korean Air Flight No. ______ Manila to Incheon Airport. The aircraft was really comfortable and clean, unlike the other airplane that I rode. The cabin crew were really like superstars (for me!)! They were really beautiful. They have oval-shaped face, small slanted eyes, pointed nose, small beautiful lips, porcelain skin, tower-like height, and petite figure. What I like about this cabin crew was their uniform. For me, it was really neat and HAUTE-COUTURE! In all airlines, Korean Air has the most beautiful uniform and flight attendant!


To tell you honestly, I was not really a fan of spicy foods but knowing Korea be it North Korea or South Korea, I know that my heavenly tongue will never escape the spicy kick in their food. I already accepted their culture (the spicy food and whatever). Something happened to me when I ate spicy food. To make the long story short I AM ALLERGIC IN SPICY FOODS. I can eat it as long as the spiciness is “tolerable.”

And yes this is my breakfast. Juice, Jeju Water, Fruits, Bread and Butter, and the 2nd option.


Hours before we arrive at Incheon Airport, our breakfast is served. Stewardess asked me something and I forgot that. I just say “(I just chose the 2nd option), but not spicy.” Later did I know that my food was spicy. I know the food is delicious because my eyes already ate it before my mouth did. I just ate the fruits and drank the juice.


While I am thousands of feet above the sky I watched Monte Carlo and I just slept. When I woke up I was still in my very spot watching Monte Carlo when Leighton Meester, Selena Gomez and Kate Cassidy were at the Eiffel Tower. I decided to play the games at the LCD in front of me. As I search for games, lo and behold, my favorite Tetris was there. I played for few rounds and then my game was automatically paused when the flight attendant said “We are now arriving at Incheon Airport.”

I didn't even noticed the time... ^^
