ZARA Pre-Sale Today

Hey guys, my favorite high street fashion clothing is on Pre-Sale today and Grand Sale tomorrow, he said that all you need is to visit ZARA store today either on Abu Dhabi Mall and Marina Mall, reserve the items you love to buy and pay them tomorrow, how good is that, so if you are just chillin' in your flats and no flights today, unfortunately for me, I have Dammam flight so go get your feet ready and goooooooooooo!

My Nth New York

It's been my nth time to New York and I haven't seen enough, the Statue Of Liberty, Empire State and the nice Designer outlets .

But the most interesting part in going to NYC are our guests and my collegue. Few days before the flight I already condition myself that this will be a great and entertaining flight. Passengers who are mostly from the sub-continent of HINDUSTAN ( India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) and the crew from various nationalities with different work ethics and laziness per se.

Well, as expected, going both back to New York and Abu Dhabi were full, full of fortunate souls who were able to live the life in America but still maintains their hygienic powress. Bwahhah, it's ironic that they have all stayed in the US for a long time and still preserved their culture and tradition by not taking a bath and cleaning their selves properly. But compared to Toronto, Sydney and Melbourne flights, passengers are quiet and knows the phrases of " THANK YOU and I Appreciate it!" None the less, majority are "PG".

As for the crew, oh well, what to do, they say that in a dozen of eggs you buy, there will always be a bad egg, rotten egg perhaps. So as expected the service was smooth in the beginning but come in the middle of it and before the 3rd service is finished. He/She will destroy everything and in our case, well, she did. She woke up late, complains too much, she was L3, very beautiful but her personality is so strong, that's why maybe eventhough her staff number is 14XXX, she is still in the coral zone because of warning letters, she was surpassed by our Thai galley operator who's FJ already with 15XXX in staff number, very efficient, Krab!

New York is fast, almost 15 hours but with 4 hours plus rest, not bad huh?

Though our hotel, the infamous GARDEN CITY HOTEL located at the posh Garden City Village located in Nassau, New York City, 18.5 miles from midtown Manhattan. The said village is upper-midclass, predominantly white, Roman-Catholics and Protestant community. Many families can trace their heritage to Italian and Irish immigrants who moved to Long Island from New York City.

Houses were Victorian inspired, huge, really huge houses. It's like you are in the shoot of Gossip Girl. Upper East Side Ho Ho Ho atmosphere.

It was raining Cats and Dogs, actually it's just drizzling as per Amanda. So I bored myself inside my room. Ordered from In-Room Dining, tried sleeping then just walked. Feel the fresh breeze of NYC. Then slept again.

I can't wait to see more of New York. Passengers will always be like that, they paid full so I will give them full service with happy ending, Service with a Smile (sarcastic? Nahhh. geniune smile I guess. )

UL

It's confirmed guys that EK is now offering 1 month unpaid leave or even more...and did you hear also that SG is offering 2 years UL? Any truth about this?

Crazy Crisis isn't it?

So we are very lucky that EY is just offering us to wash some of our uniforms right? And then they cancelled it.

Happy 50th Birthday Barbie

Barbara Millicent Roberts also known as Barbie is considered as the World's best selling fashion doll created by Ruth Handler in 1959 and she turned 50 last March and still looking sexy and fabulous.

It is estimated that more than 1 billion Barbie dolls have been sold worldwide in more than 150 countries since the doll was first introduced.

Mattel, which manufactures Barbie, claim three Barbies are sold every second.
In her 50 years on the planet, Barbie has enjoyed 100 different careers and had more than 40 pets including cats, dogs, horses, a panda, a lion cub and a zebra.

Events are being held around the world to mark the anniversary.
Models dressed as Barbie entertained hundreds of children at at Hamleys toy shop in central London yesterday.

The two models dressed in the doll's most famous outfits entertained the crowds who had flocked to the store.

Barbie Millicent Roberts has beaten off the ageing process over the years but has come in for criticism in some quarters.

Critics claim her figure sends out the wrong message to girls and is unobtainable.

Do you have one? I don't!

Well, though it seems that Barbie has her secret fountain of youth which she shared with Ken and many of her friends. I found an animated photo of Barbie reflecting her real age. Together with other famous Male Models during their time (90's-2000's).

Male models do aged faster than their female counterparts.

From Guilty Pleasures To Guilt

Recession is really here and it seems that every bills and family expenses are queuing up and my list became all PRIORITY (in bold,all caps in red).

Whyyyyyy? Well, as they say, life is like a wheel, one time you'll be top, now you need to be in the bottom. (It's not what you think!) Anyway, high-way.

I'm diverting my guilty pleasures especially Louis Vuitton to a more cheaper thrills, window shopping and day dreaming. If I may quote Sean;

" Recession changes the way people shop. From guilty pleasures, it became "GUILT". Shopping used to be fun and a way to relieve stress and now it's a SIN. Psychologist says that splurging is OUT and self-denial is IN.But buying something cheap is just fine. "

So, the line that JAM always throw on me whenever I indulge with this stuff. "Kelangan mo ba talaga yan?" (Do you really need that?) And all I can give is a big, deep and sad Sigh. And I will not visit any shops I like.

Just like yesterday, I went to ZARA and it seems I missed so much stuff, every Wednesday, (SHHHH!) new items are released and I am a bit too late. So I said to myself, I will definitely miss all the nice stuff here, especially the shoes and shirts.

Well, until the crisis ends, or will it really end? I need to really tighten my belt!

I'm just staring at my old walls, repainting is in progress. It's been a year and I enjoyed the Olive green and Addidas black stripes on my room. But I am hoping for a brandnew room...

Until Then...
