Great that i'm at my cousin's place now getting to sleep, supposely.... really nice Donnie handed over a laptop for me to check mail and stuff. I thought i wasn't gonna be here until today...

My flight supposed to leave JFK at 5:10pm yesterday. We got to the airport at 4:15 and the lady at the front desk said that we were really late for the flight.. and asked us that since our luggage is so small mind as well take them with us. We did that and of course the nice bottles of wine and my friend's $200 make up stuff were taken away...

After a whole long 10 min walk with our luggage to the gate, didn't even take a breath, we thought we were in good shape with10 minutes before the boarding time, then the crew at the gate told us the flight was cancelled. I was in total disbelief. Without giving us much explaination, the told us to take a seat. then of course, other people on the same flight were also waiting to get some kind of response from them.

another long wait later. at around 5:25 it was our turn, can't believe it but the lady told us to go to La Guardia to take the Air Canada flight that leaves at 6:30, i asked her how was I supposed to make that flight? then she gave me a voucher to take a car service over... I was relief until we reached downstairs.... There wasn't a car from that specific car service there! after calling the cab company we finally got a ride, we got to la guardia at around 6:10pm got to the counter, the crew gave us a dirty look cause we told him we needed the 6:30 flight... he had that attitude and said "you are not making the 6:30 flight, I'll get you something else.." i said to myself, dude do you have to say it like that? Well, he did us good and gave us seats at the next flight at 7:30. So we finally was able to board and got to Toronto!

On the way, I did so much praying and asking the Lord if we were not supposed to come to Toronto. Then later i realized that God just wanted me to get on a better flight. The American Airline flight would have been very cramping with no room to sit and no service at all, in the other hand, air canada has a bigger aircraft and able to service better.

I thank God I arrived safely and had great time here. Our friend Edwin took care of us really nice. He bought us to a nice chinese restaurant and enjoyed dinner then took us back home to put us up. His family has a really nice place at Markham. We bothered him until 2am in the morning, although he has to get up really early and drove me to the bus station this morning. He's such a nice kid. My cousin here is great also. drove me around town. Hung out at his restaurant and did some shopping at the mall. Then he gave me a tour of Queens University. His family also took me to a nice steak house for dinner. I got really good hosts here in Canada!

Going back to Toronto for the rest of the trip tomorrow morning, also meeting my friend Jessie who just handed in her thesis paper for her master's degree in Toronto. Hope to have a lot of fun!

Btw, my friend Edwin will take me to his church in the neighborhood for Sunday service! hoohooo!

photos are coming up.... after i come back.
