Finally the day came for me to fly out to St. Paul. I couldn't sleep even that night. I kept thinking what might happen, if i'll get there safe. I did. It was tiring and yet here I was. Below is something I did while on the plane:

I thought we were about to go but the captain reported a problem with the engines. Now that scares me. I hope to go there and get back in one piece.

I finally got to narita airport. it's kinda funny. I was looking for Japanese souvenirs what I bought was another hat. Add another one to my collection. I took the time to go about the airport. There was time to go around. lots of stuff to buy but not now, maybe on my way home. Especially the kimono. I want my daughter to wear one.

I'm on my 2nd flight heading for saint Paul. Listening to the song, "leaving on a jet plane", somehow reminded me how I miss my family. I'm miles away from where they are. Makes me worry. I'm not sure if they are worried too. I wanna go home...
Ok, during the flight to St. Paul, one of the flight attendants keeps giving me the mean look. Did I do something to piss her? Anyhow, it's 9 hrs more before I get there. need Internet service to talk to the wife and kids.

That scared me. I just noticed it's early morning in the US. It's completely dark outside.
I look at the clock, it's 8 pm in Manila. at this point I'm thinking whether everything is ok back home. Whether they've eaten dinner. Or my daughter is playing with his big brother. The long flight has made me do a lot of thinking, was I a good father? Husband? Friend? Brother? I don't know. No one told me I did a good job as one of those. But who knows. I finished watching a movie, "Dear John". It told me that I should hope to be a good person, a good friend, father and husband. Accept the fact there are things you cannot change but learn to accept. 6 hrs more til I get there. Hoping to land safely.
Still up in the air, 4 hrs left. Can't wait to get off...

I gotta get off this plane soon or my mind is gonna blow up.

Almost there.

And there you have it, I'm finally here in the St. Paul. In my apartment. I'll take pictures, once i get my phone working. but for now, I miss home already. I'm alone in a quiet world.

I'll post more about today probably tomorrow. I'm a little dizzy and daze but I should be back up soon. Gonna take a bath and a quick snooze then back to the battle. I miss my wife and kids.
