"Airports are sad places. Its a sad testament to the reality, that no man can stay forever in one place." I hear Ronan Keating say in one of his many interviews in MTV. I agree.
I remember one time, when we drop off our dad at the airport, I saw a woman waiting for her flight. Sitting beside her luggage, she was crying while reading Bob Ong's Stainless Longganisa. the book isn't exactly the type you'd cry about, since Bob Ong's writing is all about Filipino bloopers. Yet from what I saw, I can say that the woman's really sad. Probably another Pinay OFW who doesn't really wanna leave.
Actually, when i was a kid i use to dislike airports too. My dad's an OFW and going to airport means either we're gonna fetch him or send him off. And I hate it when we're going to send him off.
Today, i kind of no longer feel that way. I even look forward going to airports since this time it was I who's about to travel and leave. Although I get sad everytime we drop off dad at the airport and everytime I remember the woman who's crying over stainless longganisa.
