If someone had told me even six months before I went, that I would get on plane and go to the Philippines to meet a girl, I would have said "NO WAY", that sort of thing is just for saddos.Originally Posted by ginapeterb
Once (after chatting to Louella for a while) I had actually decided to go to the Philippines and had told Louella I was going to go there, it was like I was living in some sort of a dream world, when I was online chatting to her, I was never more certain about anything in my life, but during the in between times, I would say to myself, "why are you leading this girl on, you know your never going to go through with this". But when I went online again and saw her on the webcam, all my worries just disappeared, so I just seemed to let things drift and carried on living in my dreamworld.
When I woke up on the morning of my flight, I just lay in bed thinking to myself, are you really going to do this! Later that day I found myself in the departure lounge at Birmingham airport thinking to myself, you must be mad, stupid, crazy, ahhhggggggh!!! someone get me outa here.
Needless to say, something drove me on, I got on that plane and after a disastrous journey where everything went wrong, I eventually found myself ar the NAIA. When I walked out of arrivals, across that road and down the (wrong) ramp to the road below, I thought to myself, my god, what have I done.
Eventually, with the help of a policeman, I eventually found Louella and apart from getting bundled in to a taxi van in the confusion of it all and in so doing, got ripped of big time, after that things started to go right for me at last and all I can say about it all now is: I'M SO GLAD I GOT ON THAT PLANE!!!
