Expectations on my next plane ride

First of all I expect on my next plane ride is just “Nah, I am not interested at all” because of the fact that riding on a plane is too much hassle for a guy like me. My last plane ride was last year January maybe? And trust me, it is too much of a hassle. Like my deodorant was confiscated and my brother’s deodorant was not. The heck? And my father’s lotion was confiscated and just uses his name and the employee gave it back. I was so disappointed about what happened because of the fact that I am just a guy who does not have a name. I don’t have the power to talk back because of the fact that I can’t and I won’t. So much for my old stories, back to the topic. My last plane ride was so much fun. I can remember the memories that I had, not on the airport though, those valuable memory in my life that I truly appreciated in each and every moment of it. Those memories are etched, saved and prized in my mind and no doubt about it. It is similar of going inside a time machine conveying the same overpowering feeling that you had before when you first made that valuable memory of your life. It is an inclination that I couldn't clarify in just one basic word. It makes me feel invigorated and relaxing. It makes me feel that life is so much fun and exciting because of the fact that it can make me happy with just these simple memories that i have in my nineteen years of existence. It also makes me understand how favored I am that I had experience those sublime things that few man can only encounter because of the fact that they don't have much time or it just they don't have any interest and money or whatsoever. I still recall when I have my flight to Cebu with my father, mother and my brother. We rode a taxi to the airport 6am in the morning because of the fact that our flight is 11am. When we arrived at the airport it seems that our luck is pretty damn bad because of the fact that our flight time is moved to 4pm because of the fact that the country is experiencing some weather issues somewhere in Surigao. Many of us passengers were pissed but we have nothing else to do but to accept the rescheduling and just wait for about 7 hours in the airport. My memories in the airport was so pretty damn bad, I can’t even explain myself of how disappointed and how pissed I am that day. It was just so boring sitting on a chair with just looking at the clock whining down at it makes me feel so irritated that I just wanted to burst and go home with my baggage. I tried make myself asleep but hell yeah, I can’t sleep because of the fact that the airport is so noisy. I bought my self a coffee to just relieve myself for a bit and yes, it calmed me down a little but it isn’t enough to relieve all my irritation. After a few hours or maybe exactly 5 hours of waiting at the airport lounge. Finally, we can now enter the passengers lounge. We paid two hundred pesos individually for our terminal fare.  And thanks God that we only have to wait 3 hours before we can ride my first plane ride. We ate lunch at the passengers lounge. We checked in our baggage a second time and sucks my deodorant got confiscated and my brother’s doesn’t like just I said a while ago. I got pissed off again and just keep my temp low. And guess what like I said a while ago my father’s lotion was confiscated also and he just uses he’s name and the employee gave it back. When we settled down ourselves, I said to my father that why didn’t you get my deodorant back if their security is just like that? I was so pissed that I don’t want to ride the plane and go to Cebu. I feel like I just want to go home and get the hell out of here. But again, I controlled myself and played with my android phone. After a long wait, we can now finally ride the plane. I felt nervous at first because of the fact that some movies I saw in the past has this heart breaking stories which I don’t want to happen.  And on the other side I feel excited that I can watch my own city at the sky, what would it looks like and if I get lucky I can see our own house. While I ride on the plane I was on the front part of it. While we are in the ground I took time to talk to God, the one who has the power to make myself calm and make our trip safe so that we can arrive at our destination with ease. And that time it has also a storm around Surigao and it makes me feel uneasy. Because of us human beings, we destroyed our planet and make the climate change. We humans called it global warming. Global warming, a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. Source: Wikipedia. I know that storm is a natural disaster but in the other hand there is a chance that the storm was caused because of the fact that our planet was affected of global warming. And it is really alarming because I have this uneasy feelings riding on the plane that I can see the clouds color are very dark. I thought that the storm could blow away our plane and worst case scenario plane crash and I don’t want that to happen. So I prayed to God that make this trip safe and make myself calm that I will no longer think about those bad kind of things that I had in my mind. When the plane is ready to go, the crew members of the plane was instructing us passengers what to do. If I recall it correctly they thought as on how to use the oxygen and where does the paper bag was placed. They instructed us on how to use it for emergency purposes when some technicalities will occur in every individuals or in the plane. When the plane took off, my heart felt so happy because of the fact that the plane is very fast. I had a feeling that I want to try that speed it too using my own car. It felt exciting and I felt thrilled and I know that I and some drivers has the same feelings like me because of the fact that the plane was so incredibly fast. After the plane flew, I felt so happy because of the fact that I am seated next to a window and I can see Davao city up in the sky. My expectations were true that they are so tiny that I can step on them. But after some seconds, I felt like my jaw is on pain. I don’t know what happened but I took my chewing gum on my pocket and started to chew it. I had on my mind that it can relieve the pain. And yes, it works perfectly. I asked my mother why, and she answered to me that she doesn’t know why. I think because it’s the air pressure when going up the sky or maybe it’s just a coincidence that it was painful or maybe it’s just because it was my first time and it doesn’t make sense. After the crew said that we can took off our seatbelt I looked at on the window. It shocked me because I didn’t see my expectations but I just saw a black clouds. I felt uneasy again because of the fact that the country is experiencing some rainstorm and probably a storm on Surigao area. I took my phone and listen to my headset. Music can make me calm down sometime because of the fact that music soothes your feelings. The soothing power of music is well-established. It has a unique link to our emotions, so can be an extremely effective stress management tool. Listening to music can have a tremendously relaxing effect on our minds and bodies, especially slow, quiet classical music. This type of music can have a beneficial effect on our physiological functions, slowing the pulse and heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing the levels of stress hormones. As music can absorb our attention, it acts as a distraction at the same time it helps to explore emotions. This means it can be a great aid to meditation, helping to prevent the mind wandering. Perhaps it feels like a waste of time, not helping to achieve anything. But as we know, productivity increases when stress is reduced, so this is another area where you can gain vast rewards. It just takes a small effort to begin with. Some crews was selling goods in the plane, I bought one bread and I don’t know what the bread name is, I just simply took it from the crew and asked on how much and I paid for it. When the crew was done selling, they had a game and I don’t remember what was that game and they gave a prize to the winners. The prize was a souvenirs like t-shirt maybe. It was fun because the girl crew there was so pretty and I can’t take my eyes off her. And I was thinking if I can saw her again on my next flight which is going home to Davao. But it doesn’t come true. And it’s okay I was just appreciating her beauty and I don’t care much because of the fact that I don’t have that big interest in her. When I was on my seat watching the window, I wondered why does the wings move and it feels like it will break because of the fact that how it moves so much. But luckily I remembered one of my lessons that why does plane wings move because of the fact that turbulence is the motion of air traveling up and down. This makes the wings give that 'bouncing' effect. But airplane wings are extremely strong and are made to flex. When you fly back and the plane is taking off look at the wings as the plane accelerates. You'll notice that they will be lifting, and this is completely normal. This is the lift motion taking effect and makes the airplane fly. That is why wings are so flexible and they can definitely take a beating from turbulence and still touch down safely. But so much for that, after a thirty minutes of listening to music, more or less, it made me calmed down and I saw some clear skies on my window. I saw the ocean and after a few seconds I saw the islands. I don’t know if that is Cebu or not. But I feel relieved because of the fact that God listened to my prayers and he could make our trip safe and sound. It's great to reminisce about good memories of my past. It was enjoyable when it was today. So learning to enjoy today has two benefits: it gives me happiness right now, and it becomes a good memory later. Life makes recollections and recollections makes life. I am hoping to make more great memory with the goal that I can make life out of it. I need to break free from everything that chains me and I need to go past the outskirt of my life. So I can make my life with no regrets and just like what they said “You only live once”.
