Malapit ng matapos magimpake si Karina. Kulang na lang yung ilang sweaters and sapatos, pati na rin yung carry on niya then she'll be good to go.

Ready na siya umalis.

Sobrang excited niya pero nervous din siya bilang first time niya mag travel mag isa. 

Pupunta si Karina sa Australia. After graduating uni, her parents gave her plane tickets to Australia to visit her cousins. Deserve rin naman niya since she graduated with Latin Honours.

Bonus na lang talaga yun.

Matagal ng nag promise parents niya ng trip to Australia. Miss niya na rin mga pinsan niya. Mas excited pa nga mga pinsan niya kesa sa kanya. Matagal na rin kasi silang hindi nagkita. The last vacation ng mga pinsan niya, first year pa siya sa uni. 

Yung pinsan niyang nurse, nag leave ng three weeks para lang sa kanya. Siya na rin daw bahala sa kanya doon kaya walang problema siya sa pera.

Ang lucky niya lang talaga! 

It's been a dream of hers to visit Australia din. Sobrang ganda lang naman kasi talaga dun. At maraming crocodiles dun, her favourite animal.

Her cousin has been hyping up the beaches na sobrang naeexcite talaga siya. Sabi pa ng pinsan niya they will try surfing daw. 

Sabi niya rin pwede ka daw mag feed ng crocodiles! Super excited talaga siya for that.

With one last item, natapos na rin si Karina.

She double-checked her carry on and made sure she had all the important documents she needed to fly to Aussie.

Passport. Check.

Visa. Check.

Vaccination card. Check.

Travel insurance. Check. 

Karina also checked her electronics if they're all fully charged. Chineck din niya if she has the plug adapters for her charger since iba yung outlet dun. 

Pati na rin yung toiletries niya, she made sure that they're packed well. Mahigpit daw ang immigration sa Australia so she would rather not have anything thrown out in her carry on.

Mahal kaya skincare niya! 

Ready na siya. 

Kulang na lang mag download siya ng movies sa netflix or book to entertain her during her flight. Mahigit 8 hours din yun.

"Finally," Karina sighed, leaning back. Napangisi siya sa excitement at agad kinuha ang ipad niya to look for movies to download. Maybe three movies will do. Baka meron din magandang movies sa plane.

I-check na lang niya mamaya bookshelf niya for some books. 

As she was browsing on her ipad, bigla siyang tinawag ng Mama niya. 

"Karina, nandito si Winter! Paakyat na!" 

Para namang nabalisa si Karina at biglang hinagis ang ipad niya sa kama niya. 

She started checking her room. Ang kalat pero wala na siyang magawa kasi nagimpake siya.

Then she checked herself. She scrunched her nose in dissatisfaction when she saw how dishevelled she looked.

Her hair was a mess kahit naka bun, naka oversized shirt siya na may butas sa kili-kili, and frankly, medyo pawis siya. 

Inamoy niya pa sarili niya at buti na lang wala siyang body odour. Amoy araw lang ng konti.

Wala na siyang magawa dahil kumakatok na si Winter sa kwarto niya.

Matagal na silang magkaibigan, Winter has se
