- at the Manila Domestic Airport 6.30 pm. My flight was scheduled to leave at 7.40pm.

- 7pm. My flight was scheduled to leave at 7.40pm.

- 7:15pm. My flight was scheduled to leave at 7.40pm.

- 7:40 pm. aha naman ang erplane?

- 8:00pm

- 9:30pm. by this time people were very very disappointed because of the 2hour delayed flight. the customer service attendant who told us got a full earmark. this is what happened.

Cebu Pacific Customer Service Attendant:
We are very sorry - the Cebu Pacific flight 5#$^ is again delayed. please stay at the departure area for further notice.

then several passengers approached him.

Korean Passengers:
(i did not quite get there conversation. all i got was the words "flight" "delayed" "cebu" "rain" "phone". The rest was "tikut" "kyek" "huit" "hoot".... etc....

it was funny coz the service attendant just nodded. i think he did not understood a single sentence the Koreans have spoken. there were 3 Korean and all of them spoke simultaneously to the attendant.

This was his reply.

Cebu Pacific Customer Service Attendant:
Sir is there anything we can do for you?

then the 3 koreans just exchange conversations and walk away laughing. i bit there conversation was just like this: "Men he did not get a single word we just said"

but the most memorable, the best, and the funniest conversation was the one with the Cebuano passengers.

Cebuano Passenger1:
Ano ba naman ito oh. Let na let na kaayo yung flight nyo.

Cebuano Passenger2:
OO nga. Next time tarungin nyo naman yung service nyo.

Cebuano Passenger3:
Bitaw. bakit ang tagal? ganina pa kami naghihintay dito.

hehehehe.... bisaya gyud.

the attendant just said that they are doing all what they can. then he walks away to escape the very very angry crowd. but in the corner i heard him talk to a fellow attendant "ANO ba naman itong mga bisaya. galit na galit sa akin eh di ko naman kasalanan delayed ang flight nila. Ano ba ibig sabihin ng "tarungin? ano ba yun? refund?"

after the announcement that the flight will be delayed again (for the second time) almost all passengers were screaming of disappointment. i can hear the words "F*CK", "Boysit", "Y*wa", "G*atay", etc....

the commotion was stopped when two SWAT officers armed with heavy guns (with 2 police dogs) surveyed the premise. i think all our screams and shouts were heard even to the Centennial International Airport.

at last at 10pm (instead of 7:40pm)... the fligt went ahead....
