I can feel them staring awkwardly bedazzled behind our backs as the 3 of us head straight to the main entrance of the departure area at Mactan airport, Cebu. More so, I know they are looking through to me as I have not bid farewell nor turn my back as i pushed open the glass door revealing the vast space of the airport's lobby occupied with people running their own errands. Funny how a space as big as this lobby get horrendously crowded when my fist-big heart is dreadfully empty this very minute. In my mind I know it will take years before i ever get to step my feet again in this place... this same place where any moment now will dust off the last footsteps I marked on its ground... this same place where less than a minute now will just be like my own home, always will I seek the joy and comfort of.
"May chicken bone sa throat ko" , this was my alibi at the end part of a retreat I attended with my classmates wayback 6th grade. Exactly how i feel today. May chicken bone sa throat ko and I'm certain it'll burst in my tear gland before we even reach Manila. So there, what happened next is just between me, ate Katz, kuya Patrick and the free coffee being served at PAL. Well, there are onlookers, god bless their souls. Hahahaha!
We cry for 2 reasons: either we are terribly sad or extremely happy. Mine's bothways. Extremely happy, kasi i know i have a family there when i return (hopefully next year? ). Terribly sad, kasi I will miss the homy ambiance of everyone's presence... like I've been with them all my life and to be departed is such a torture.

Guess what, the torture's still on.
Ibalik nyo ako sa Cebu!!!
