The winners were announced today and as predicted, the underdog Hindi film wins the Golden Globe grabbing Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Original Score.
Oscars nominations will be announced on the 22nd and the heat is on for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.
And so for Kate Winslet, she won two awards Best Actress for Revolutionary Road and Best Actress in a supporting role for The Reader. She has 5 nominations in Oscar already so I am hoping that this time, she wins the little man.
I was upgraded from my standby to KTM, Kathmandu which is expected because many crew are getting sick from weather changes or for something else.
So when I checked the roster, okay, 3rd in seniority only in staff no. ( I don't want to use that word!) because many are taking advantage of that superficial word, hello you are 21 and I'm what? a decade older so have respect! Just kidding!
By the way, high-way so, I was kinda relax given that my pick-up that day was 1110H but when I called "transpo", they said 1120H is my pick-up, fine but Hey, it's 1137H and the pick-up is still in the loop, well, to cut the long story short, I got stressed because I am late & I hate being late, period! Grrrrrrr!
Luckily, all of us were late, Har Har Har
So, the briefing questions came, it went okay and finally C/M Nohuzk gave the position, Ebora- R4. Whuwhatttt?
But I'm only freaking at the back of my head, yet still maintaining my composure, thank you I said. After 14 months of putting me in LR3 or Duty Free, now I will take the galley... I'm excited and nervous, why? Because I want my cabin operators feel that they are well taken care of. All of a sudden, all the great galley operators from my previous airlines and here in EY came to me but God, all of them are coming & I don't know which one to infuse in my system because it's been a long time since I have that position.
I took a deep breath and told myself like in the deodorant t.v commercial " Kaya Ko To ( I can do it! )" with my hand clasping... Ha Ha Ha
I move fast but I need to concentrate and be efficient and effective, fast is just being fast but being effective and efficient are both different character. So I reassured myself while counting the meal carts, the frozen foods and all. This is it!
I was lucky that most of the crew I'll flew with were trained well, they know what to do, no attitude, willing to help and assist and funny. So a 3 1/2 hours flight and 5 hours coming in and out of KTM seems like 30 minutes only. I enjoyed every minute, I didn't eat well, I let them finished eating, like a dear mother-goose. And should I say thank's to the wonderful galley operators I flew with which served as my inspiration of becoming one like you, hopefully.
Everyday is a learning experience and for sure, my experience today will serve as a "post it" day.
