1. When you’re still full of energy
Bring it on!
2. When you have enough time to eat
Trying to keep yourself distracted, huh?
3. Then you walk off what you just ate in the Duty-free section
Time to exercise!
4. You then check your social media
What are your friends up to?
5. When you look at the time and only an hour has passed
You’ve gotta be kidding!
6. You slowly realise you have enough time to do everything but nothing
Oh no…
7. Impatience hits you hard
Deep. Breaths.
8. Trying to convince yourself that you’re okay
But who are you kidding…
Ayaw ko naaaaa! Iyak nalang.
9. You want to sleep but you have to guard your things
You’re not asking for much…
10. Two hours before boarding
There is light at the end of the tunnel.
11. Almost there
Onti nalang, bes!
12. You’ve never been this excited to carry your bags
Grab your carry-ons, because you’ve got somewhere to be!
13. Pila na!
At last, it is time to board the plane.
You did it!
See, that wasn’t so bad. Well, now it isn’t. Of course, when it’s happening, we can’t help but complain. But at least it gives us something to laugh about in the future!
