Me

OMG! I was just about to sleep but then I was suddenly tempted to check how much a flight to Abu Dhabi from here through Air Asia, and then a flight from Abu Dhabi to Egypt, would cost in total. So I went to the Air Asia website and I was a bit impatient, it was taking a while to load or something. It is customary for me to visit many airline sites at once.. so I typed in www.cebupacificair.com and oh my Gawwwwdddd! They had the piso (P1) fare thing going on! You buy tickets now and fly from mid-June to September end next year and it's non-refundable and non-rebookable. Sucks, but that's how they make it so cheap. The risk is worth it!! Anyway, it's not really P1 ($0.02). It's P101 ($2.10) .. but that's still amazingly cheap.

I was sooo excited. I've been dying to see cherry blossoms lately so I immediately thought of Korea and Japan.. both fares were really low!! I was shocked and so excited! My heart was beating, I couldn't type so well.. I was quivering with excitement!! Haha well eventually, I chose Korea. I thought Japan might be a bit harder to get a visa for, plus I have many Korean classmates so I'm curious about what it's really like there. It only cost me $30 (with the airport tax for the Korean airport)!!! The flight's scheduled for September 3 and I return on the 10th. I should get a term break around that time. And I'll be going when it's autumn in Korea! I've never seen autumn before and I've always wanted to!

After a while of checking for other destinations and fares, I found out that Taipei would only cost $17.50 if I go on June 23 and return on June 27. Hahaha.. well isn't it obvious already.. I booked it again. The 24th, a Thursday, is a holiday.. and I usually don't have classes from Fridays to Sundays so yeah. :)) Yayyyy!! If anything comes up, I'll just try to find a way around it!

My dad has no idea. He'll probably freak out if he knew. Well I'll tell him next year.. hahaha. And I'm gonna save and spend my own money.

Yipee!! An hour or so ago, I was just dreaming of places I could go to! Now, I already have 3 places I am confirmed for: Malaysia, Taiwan and Korea! And no, I haven't forgotten about Abu Dhabi and Egypt! That's for summer!

Ah, what would I do without these dear budget airlines and their crazy promotions? I'll probably hardly go anywhere. Full service flights cost too damn much.. although these days, even they're bringing their fares down, in response to the competition brought on by these budget / low-cost airlines. They're still too expensive for me though. :)

I LOVE budget airlines!
