Coming Home: The View From The Window

From the plane's window, that is.


As the Philippine Airlines plane took off from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport runway last January 2010 en route to Incheon International Airport, I was seated at a window seat (which I requested) and try to have the last glimpse of Manila from up the air.


And as the plane gained altitude, I snapped this photo. It's Makati City, my former workplace....and playground!  And the photo became a screensaver for a time.


And today, as I fly back to Manila, I hope to see the same view; this time, from the ground. 


I miss the place, and I intend to lose myself among the crowds, the shops and most of all, the Christmas atmosphere.
