I am the boy who cried wolf...
Before I get into the meat of my entry...I completely packed wrong for this trip. People said it was hot..so I packed all shorts(asides from my suits that I have to wear to work) and one pair of jeans. So what's the weather like this weekend in tokyo? 90% chance of rain...WTF...grrrreat. Oh well, there's always shopping I guess.
Anyway, no one will ever believe this story; I have no pictures, and no witnesses, but I believe it in my heart of hearts...and God knows I'm telling the truth...so I shall tell it anyway...
So Jem drops me off at the airport at about 9:30 on Saturday, and I get in my check-in line...the E-ticked one, cuz I already checked in the night before, I love internet man. Anyway...so I get in line at UA Terminal 7 and there's this Pilipino family in front of me...two guys, a lady, and two kids, who are constantly running around playfighting the ENTIRE time. It was amusing at first, but then it started to irk me a bit, cuz they kept falling all over the place and running into people...so I was thinking, "hey dudes, control your kids.." I look at who I thought was the dad, and I thought he looked JUST like Manny Pacquaio...you know, the Pacman...anyway, I shrug it off, becuase I'm thinking, how come he's not accompanied by more people? So we run into each other again in the security line, and I SWEAR I think it's him...but then my better judgement gets the best of me and says, "Dude, he's just w/ his family and no security...at all? Come on." So again, I shake it off...we even made eye contact at one point and I have the typical guy-to-guy head nod. So it was all good. I was gonna ask him if anyone ever told him he looked like Pacquaio...but dude, he does look like him, so I'm sure he would've been hearing it for the millionth time...so I thought better of it. So now it's Wednesday, Japan time, and I'm chattin w/ Chris and Iya and tell them about it and ask them if they knew if he had kids. Iya tells me that he has 3; two boys and a baby girl...there was no baby girl there that day, so i thought it wasn't him. So I asked her to search for some pics of them(because I can't from the office). She e-mails me a few pics, and this one sold me
It was HIM! Because that was the wife that I saw and even that dude on the far left! Dangit! So if I knew right then and there...I would have THIS pic instead.
Darnit...i'm so bummed. I should just follow my gut next time and take the pic first and even if it's NOT him, I'll still just tell people it was...ha ha ha. Maybe my mind is seeing those people now that I see that pic...but it wasn't THAT long ago...and it all adds up. It really does!!!!
