M.I.A.M.I - On our way!

5:30 Bus The day finally arrived to leave for Miami. We've waited for this day since last year since we booked everything back then. We wanted to get a cheaper deal of everything so we did it earlier. And we did get the great deal of the flight tickets and accommodation.
It was a loooooooooong wait before we got to Miami.
14th of March at around 11 we started the waiting. Our bus is not until 5:30 the next day so Chloe and I decided to stay up the whole night and stayed at a diner place in Philly 'til they closed. Fortunately, they let us stay and chill inside, or else we would have to deal with the cold outside. We could've just waited at the bus station but its just not our thing to chill inside a certain place unless its a bar. So, at the diner place a lot of things happened and a lot of stories were told. At the diner place (I forgot the name), we met John. He is one fucking cute guy who offered us his apartment so we could have a place to spend while waiting for the bus. But as much as we wanted to fool around with him that night, we turned down the offer. He tried to convince us that he's a absolutey a nice guy and has no dark intensions to us and just wanted to help (boy i didn't know we looked like we needed help that night). But we stuck to our "Thanks, but no thanks", giving him a very cute but inviting smile. Damn! He's really gorgeous, but we cant really trust people these days. After the I'm-mr.nice-guy-speech he took off. And after that we tried killing the time just chatting. Wow! Chloe and I really talked too much. From non-sense to dead-serious things, you name it, we've discussed about it. I just couldn't believe I found someone whom I could really be myself with to the real level of my old self(way back in the Philippines). I even got crazier. Im WAY too crazy than before. John went back to check us out that dawn, and sat with us on the table. We had a nice discussion with him that dawn. That's how we get to know his name and that he's studying to be a chef in the city. No wonder why he talked so much about food. After the meal, spices, desert, and fruit discussion, we went outside to smoke and just before his last puff he hired a cab and just took off. Though the taking off was weird coz it was in a middle of a conversation when he decided he had to leave, it was great killing the time with him. And like every first person to leave from a group of conversationalists most likely would get, we had a hunch about him. He has a "little girl" trapped in him. If you know what I mean..
The clock ticked to close the diner place, so we had to leave. It was just an hour and-a-half away before our bus had to leave, so we headed back to the station and waited on line. We were the first on the line and the one after us is an afro-american man who i believed just arrived at the bus station before getting on line. And for the second time that dawn, we had a great conversation with him. He's a phenomenal man. For Chloe and I that is. He talked to us about american people and the way they work with their alien employees. Man, that talk was awakening.. I couldn't explain what he said to us but it was really great hearing that from him. It's one of those things that people tells you which makes you realize something about yourself and open your eyes about what you're going through that moment of ur life. It was really amazing. It's one of those random moments that's trully a bombshell when you travel- meeting people who could leave a deep impact of remarkable moments that you could carry with you along the way-. Luis is his name. And he's one of those remarkable acquaintances we've had while waiting for our 5:30 bus.
Our looooong hours didn't end the moment we got into the 5:30 bus. We arrived at Newark International airport at around 9. Our plane to Fortlauderdale Miami was not until 3:15pm, so we waited at the airport till then. It was damn loong.. We've consumed 4 double-shots of espresso at the airport, and a million of words. No random moments, just lots of hairbrained thoughts and ridiculous poses(we got funny pics).. That's how silly Chloe and I gets when we're together.
It was really a hell of a wait. But our friendship deepened and new experiences added-up on the long wait. IT was all WORTHWHILE.
