I  miss the Philippines. I remember my trip with all the exciting and fun  stuff that my family and I did. It all started the last week of July,  and each day that gets closer to our flight i get excited each time.For about seven years we have not seen our family and friends, and the time came and it was a whole new culture in the Philippines. 
Finally,  the day came, we arrive at San Francisco International Air around eight  o’clock in the evening, and waited for about out one or two hours in  the waiting area. Soon enough, the flight attendants started to tell the  people to weigh their carry on bags and to start to line up. The flight  attendants started with families with infants, toddlers, or disabled  family members. It took a while when they called for our row which was  in the front so we were the last one to come aboard. 
At  last we were on our seats and our carry-on where on the storage  compartment above us or under our feet. Our flight to the Philippines  was long and uncomfortable, it lasted for about twelve to thirteen  hours. It was so cool that in front of us was a television screen-for  every individual seat- that could play movies, music, and much more, so  during the flight we would be comfortable and sleepy. For me the entire  trip was uncomfortable because a long the way he hit some bumps so i  felt a little dizzy on the way, and i can’t full put my seat down  because some man was behind me. Including that there was these two old  couple that was watching movies and they could not keep their mouth  shut, until they feel asleep. My trip to the Philippines was not so  great after all. 
After  that all flight, we finally landed to Manila International Airport  around five o’clock in the morning-mostly every passenger clapped when  we landed-. When we landed at the airport, they just opened the entire  airport so the heat from the air vent hit us, and so we sweat ed as we  exited to get our passport check, and when we exited the baggage claim  area it was even hotter outside. I hated the first day already and we  had to wait for my uncle to pick us up. Finally and thank goodness my  uncle came right before I melted like butter, but the good thing is that  as we drove to our place to stay I saw new things that i did not see  when I was little like: Mega Mall, how the pollution there got worse,  and how all of my niece, nephew, and all my awesome cousins grew up to  be great adults/parents. 
The  first thing we did was to unpack everything and get settled. We  unloaded the Balikbayan Boxes be bought and took out all the thing we  will give to all of our friends and family. So we change in to our:  shorts, t-shirts, and sandals, so that we would be more comfortable with  the weather and headed out to our old house and met all of our old  neighbors again. And I even remember my very first crush, and they were  still living right next to our old house. And that is another story.
