Better Late than Never

I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately. Business has been good and we've had more bookings than we expected for the last two months. I have also been travelling, in fact for the last two months, I flew in and out Cebu around 5 times and flew out of the country for my birthday last month.

Previously:
In my entire travelling history, I have only missed one flight, this was last month, when I decided to sleep on my domestic flight to Dumaguete and ended up taking the bus so I can catch the birthday dinner my friends put together for me home.

Just yesterday:
To officially start summer, my friend Kent and I booked tickets to Zamboanga to visit the famous Sta Cruz Island (been hearing a lot about the pink sand). I gave the hard copy of the airline ticket to Kent two days before the actual departure date. I never looked at that ticket after I printed it for more than 30 seconds. I just handed it to Kent for safekeeping.

Fast forward, 3PM we started heading to the airport still not looking at the ticket with the assumption that we were scheduled to fly out 4:55PM.

We went through usual airport scanning stuff and we didn't see any check in counter for Zamboanga when we arrived.

I still didn't feel alarmed. I told Kent, check in counter may open an hour before the flight.

We sat on the nearest bench and Kent took out the ticket and that was when we realized the ETD was 0455.
Kent looked at me and folded the ticket again, as if he didn't see it. We looked at each other and screamed, "It's in the morning!!!!!".

We hurriedly left the check in area to the nearest airline ticketing office to book the next flight to Zamboanga which is a day after (airline flies to Zamboanga once a day).

Today:
I'm leaving in two hours and yes, I got it right this time. See you in a few Zamboanga...
