My husband CARLOS gave me the chance to travel not just somewhere here in the Philippines but Saudi Arabia...yes...yes..yes.. You got it right!! As in Saudi lang naman..
Well siguro when we hear the word Saudi, naku ano ano na ang pumapasok sa utak natin di ba? I mean The country and its culture is totally different from ours here in the Philippines..
Talaga palang di lahat ng trips or travel ay puro saya at excitement lang…Well, mine is different kasi andun yung takot, at yung sobrang kaba.
My husband got me a visit visa to be with him in saudi arabia..I thought of it a hundred times before saying yes..well, for just 1 reason, its saudi and im afraid to travel alone..its my ist time.
But with those hundred times of thingking, then i finally decided to go and said to myself its the chance that i must never take for granted knowing that i’ll be staying there with my husband..
Hay naku, manila pa lang ang dami ng hassle..sa DFA naku naabutan pa ako ng bagyo, holidays ewan ko ba ang daming hassle..almost a month bago irelease ang pinapa-authenticate na marriage n birth certificate na kailangan naman talaga sa Saudia embassy..iyak ng iyak lang ako kasi ayoko talaga ng manila..hehehe..siguro im not used to the pollution,traffic and crowded areas.
Buti nalang my friend in high school, Jingle and Irene was there to save me..well kahit na 1 day gimik lang un but i had fun..So much Fun. thanks friend!!!
finally, september 9, 2007…naku nasa airport na ako..buti nalang naging mabait naman sa akin ang panahon…ok ang lahat..ok sa immigation kahit mahaba pila..di nadelay ang flight.. pero andun pa rin kaba ko..kasi nga syempre, kaw ba naman,MAG-ISA…( Grrrrrrrr)
While inside the plane..pinilit ko nalang matulog kasi 9hrs ang biyahe…(sakit na ng puwet ko nyan) =(
peroooooooooo, patay tayo, umalog ang plane..di naman ako natakot, nainis lang kasi muntikan ba naman na mabuhusan ang hawak kong isang tasa ng tea..grrrr!! at heto pa, humingi nalang ako ng med kasi nahilo bigla ang lola mo!! ( e sino ba naman ang hinde di ba?
We arrived at Dammam Airport around 4:30pm…sa imigration medyo mahigpit pero ok lang…bigyan mo lang ng cute smle ang arabo, fights na!! makakadaan ka na..after that, ayun na! my husband was there waiting for me patiently at the waiting area.. at last nakarating na rin ako..nakasama ko na siya..nakalimutan ko lahat ng stress when i was in manila…
Una medyo nag aadjust pa ako sa time and sa culture..lalu na kailangan naka- Abaya ka pag lumalabas.But then, nakapag adjust naman ako agad..kailangan eh.
Teka, baka nagtataka kayo e september 2007 pa ako dumating dun,ngaun ko lang naisulat ito..simple lang, ngayon ko lang gusto ishare ito..tinatamad ako…
bwhahahahah!!! i'll be writing more about my experiences in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia... part 2 na yon..
