Whew! I just arrived from a 17-hour flight... 3 hours and 20mins from Singapore to Manila and 13+ hours flight from Manila straight to SFO. Flight was long and boring because I was seated at the Emergency exit section. hehehe. Anyway, it was still futile to be on a window seat because most of the time, the windows were closed because of the glaring light from the sun. Good thing about my seat because I had alot of room to stretch my feet. : ) hehehe.
In order to overcome the jetlag easily, I made sure that as much as possible not to sleep during the entire flight as my arrival in SFO is in the evening (8pm). I did everything I could for me not to fall asleep like doing a movie marathon courtesy of the airline. Movie sequences are as follows: Kung Fu Panda ===> Made of Honor ===> 21 ... I also watched alot of the Heroes Season 2 series too. hehehe.
We arrived 20minutes earlier than scheduled. After an interview with the immigration officer (whats the purpose of my visit, how long do i stay, where am i staying, what is my nature of my work... blah, blah, blah). I felt both relieved and happy upon seeing my two dear friends in Fairchild --- former boss Elsa Keiser and retired Product Line Marketing guru Alan Ankerbrand! :) It has been awhile since I last met with these two wonderful people! :) Although, I was a bit surprised to see Alan in a pushcart-like walking support equipment, I even appreciated it the more! :) Plus, he had long been planning and organizing a BBQ party right at his home with all star cast friends in Fairchild San Jose this coming Sunday! :) Lolo Jim, my dear Lolo and his wife Margarita will be gracing the party too! They had confirmed to come and will be driving all the way from Petaluma to Alan's place just for the party! :) Cant wait! :)
Tomorrow, if I will be successful with my jetlag bout, I am planning to call Ajnin to accompany me around for a photoshoot. My Fairchild friends both in Cebu and San Jose had been bugging him to get hooked in this hobby or shall we say vice of ours called photography. I think we are successful as he just opened his flickr account. nyahaha!
I will keep you posted on more exciting happenings during my stay here in San Jose. :) Meanwhile, I am also missing my family back home in Cebu. :( After I got settled in my cozy hotel room, I immediately chatted back home to relieve me abit. :) So delighted they are enjoying their time there with the grannies. :)
For now, I will have to face my bouts on my jetlag and have to overcome this A.S.A.P! :) hehehe. Will be sleeping in awhile after a warm shower perhaps. hehehe. Wish me luck! :)
