Pearson International Airport SUCKS!


WHAO What a day! Mom was almost gonna miss her flight tonight! My goodness we arrived 3 minutes before the airplane took off. We were stuck in traffic and it just never occured to us that it's March Break (i.e. high volume of passengers etc) It took us forever to find a parking spot. Anyhow, by the time we got there, they told my mom that the gates were closed that she had missed her flight. She begged them to double check and one of the airplane staff said that they might be able to accommodate for one more passenger if she can make it to the gate in 3 minutes. Poor her, she was terrified. We all panicked! She was gonna lose her money. Anyhow, so they charged her $100 for overweight which was BULL! It was obviously a late penalty. I hate them! They talked to my mother as if she didn't know a word in English. She simply panicked and didn't know what to say. She's a prefectionist like me and when things get out of control she freaks out. I couldn't take it though, I told one of the staff that "We appreciate the instructions however by telling us that we have 1 minute left when she's checking-in/taking out stuff from her luggage/paying for the extra weight, he was making things even worse." He shut his mouth then. Her flight was supposed to be at 5:55pm but the mofos wanted to leave earlier so they closed the gates at 5:40pm. That's a 20 min difference! And you know what, it makes a whole lot of a difference when you're panicking! God I hate them! I feel so sorry for mom. She was running and her face turned so pale. We didn't even get to properly say goodbye. I gave her a big hug but that was it. The guy kept on saying "Come on, they're closing the gates. You have 2 mintues left". Idiot. Zahra cried, she broke my heart. Ugh anyway! I just pray that she gets there safely.


I was tracking her flight a few moments ago on the Charles de Gaulle International Airport. It's pretty cool actually, it shows you a flight view that has the dep./arrival info as well as the airplane's speed and other informations that make abseloutely no sense to me. I'll attach a picture of the current view. I'm worried though. She's gonna arrive there at 5:46AM paris time which is almost 1:00AM our time. I don't know if she'll give us a call but I hope so. I'm really worried. I'm shaking as I'm typing.


I have to work on the essay too, but how can I when my mind is so occupied??? I wish I could call her and make sure that she's okay!

Ya Rab! Ya Allah. I pray for her safety.

Till next time.
