back home

MANILA - Cebu Pacific Flight 5J 679 landed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport at 3:55 AM, a few minutes ahead of schedule. Ground temperature was 26 degrees, a far cry from the 30 degrees which greeted us at Pudong International Airport just a few short days ago.

And THAT was three days ago. Hahaha. I've been bumming around ever since I got back home from Shanghai. I had a lot of catching up to do - with my family, my friends, with Plurk, Facebook, Multiply, Blogger, the History Channel, CNN, Farmtown, Sword of the Stars, Call of Duty 4 - hence the lack of updates since Friday.

Honestly, I have a bit of a hangover. I miss Shanghai. I miss the dorm, the bar, the food, the free Wi-Fi, the company. I miss the parks and the subway. I miss the feeling of adventure. But I missed home more, and now I'm back. I've got a lot to do - papers, blogs, exams, reports, changes.

Better start now.

I've got a huge backlog of blog posts and pictures about Shanghai. Will post them in the days to come.

jitters

By this time tomorrow, I'll be unpacking my bags at our hostel in Shanghai. That is, assuming that I even get to our hostel in Shanghai. Hahaha. I'm scared. I'm excited. I can't sleep.

All my bags are packed. I'm ready to go. Hahaha. I've got more than enough clothes for my six-day trip. Talk about overkill - I'm even bringing my nebulizer along with me. Too bad my dad didn't allow me to bring the laptop; I'll just have to borrow one when I get there.

Maybe I should try to sleep now. I've got a big day ahead. Hahaha.
