our tickets didn’t go down the drain after all.

he rang my phone sometime 2:30 A.M.yish yesterday. just enough time for me to get a quick shower and a few minutes after, he came knocking at my door and we’re set to go to mactan international airport.

will post pictures as soon as he’d give me copies of them..
