The Dubai Chronicles

subliminal?

for two consecutive nights, at last, we were able to watch the six-in-one horror dvds i brought from the philippines. i was looking for it along the stalls of malls, tiangges, and illegal vendors during my vacation there.

it was the japanese version of the ring (ringu) and its sequels.

i'm not that scared anymore since i knew where sadako will appear and her antics... but still it haunts me. last night, we went for the hollywood version of ju-on, the grudge. after some booze and finishing the movie, i went to my bunk and slept. then the weird dream came into view.

as far as i can remember, it was my the day of departure going to dubai (or is it manila) and i almost late for the flight. when almost near to the airport i suddenly remember that i don't have my passport with me. i packed everything except for that document. i called up mom thru my cellphone and asked for my passport. unfortunately, she's busy at shopping and cannot be disturbed... wow.

when i arrived to the airport counter, i asked the guy for my "aunt" who works at the immigration if she's duty today. he told me that she's on her way out to see me (huh?). upon seeing her she was carrying a lot of shopping bags from boutiques and rushing to talk to me.

"go to the airline counter and tell that i'm your aunt even without your passport. i will take care of things," she said.

and so i did what she've told me. upon approaching the desk, the counter guy stopped me and told that the plane has already left and my ticket is not booked for that flight (wtf?!). i inquired on how did that happened.

"**** air flights are all open flights and there's no booking." (WHAAAT?!)

weird.
