Reading Didache

I was brought up praying the rosary, most of the time, falling asleep while my grandmother urged me to finish the mysteries. Studied in catholic school, obedient yet stubborn in many ways.

As I grow older, I seldom, seldom go to church to hear mass or recite the rosary, or even open the bible.

I realized that something is missing. And it's bro. I owe him a lot! Too much!

So one stuff in my bucket list is to be a good disciple.

I'm reading now Bo Sanchez's Didache. It's another food for the soul reading material.

Still having nightmares though... Grrrr! I think I need a dream catcher

I LVoe it!

My Addiction Continues...

Oh forgive me for I have sinned again...

Unfortunately, my campaign to stop my addiction failed! I recently acquired the Nokia E72. I enjoyed it for a couple of hours and lost the luster afterwards. That's it! Yes that fast!

And I still crave for the new bold, I think it's the one for me! I hope soooo!

My review for the Nokia E72?

( my JB's intense, rayban's wayfarer, YSL shades & the nokia E72 )

1.    The 5 megapixel camera is mediocre
2.    Loudspeaker, mediocre again.
3.    Optical trackpad is okay but the rough edges in between is annoying
4.    Video is crap
5.    3.5mm headset jack saved the day

Overall, it's up for grab again! Sigh! Please send me the new bold 9700!

I LVoe!

Freddy's Back!

Freddy Krueger that is! This time for the film, A Nightmare On Elm St. sort of prequel of all the films that Freddy has made. I practically grew old on horror films, I LVoe it! But now, maybe in moderation. But I will definetely get this one even in Blu ray or DVD.

His precious claws will hunt down generations of neigbhors from Elm Street again. But this time, the effects are surreal. I can't wait to see this film. Must see for 2010!

Wes Craven is a genious, imagine after creating Freddy, he has made so much horror flicks that became cult such as SCREAM franchise, The Hills Have Eyes, Red Eye, Cursed, The Last House on the left and more. From Director, Producer and Actor, Wes proved that you can be multi-tasker to scare moviegoers ei! Although Samuel Bayer is directing the flick, Wes maintains all the TM characters, how cool is that.

They are now in production and is expecting release, 3rd quarter of 2010.

I LVoe!

What I've Learned Today

A few hours ago was the last working day of 7-day block of flying roster for this week. I'm so anticipating my 2 days off. Beirut, a challenging flight but it should be okay! Well that's what I hoped. The flight was okay but something happened between the crew. Report. Report. Report. I hate it! So with confidentiality, I will keep my mouth shut! But please don't believe rumors, as they say, there is another side of the coin! As Miss International 1979, Miss Melanie Marquez, said... " Don't judge a book if you're not a judge "

I've learned so many things today, frustrating ones but enlightening. Here are some of my thoughts and others that I've incorporated in my blog.

yourself.

It Takes As Long As It Takes...

Everything we desire if it's really meant for you,will be given to you no matter how impossible you think it will be. I met my BFF (best friend forever) Angelica and her beau, Mikhail at Starbucks for a quick sip of frappuccino and chitchat. Mikhail said that the position for Cabin Senior opens again! It brighten my tired eyes, of course coming from a two day morning " Inspired Service " training for economy. I was estatic!

This might be the sign I'm looking for, he said that I must apply now and check my crew mail. With all enthusiam after buying some stuff at the grocery, I walked fast and checked it.

Viola! Opening for Cabin Senior, I am qualified only to be dismayed. Because they changed the Experience requirement again, before, as long as you have previous premium and supervisory position experience from other airline, you can apply. So most of the new crew applied. But now, you need to be IS (inspired service) premium zone trained and actually worked there, for 6 months. What? I've been in economy for 2 years and 2 months now! And last year, newbies with experience where accepted for the position, junior than me! (no offense, but that's how the cookie crumbles right?) Well, maybe not for me. I am still inspired working though, with a little bit disappointment. Maybe next time ei!

No grudges for me!

I stumbled-upon this nice tee shirt from holycool, " it takes as long as it takes " tee.

This tee by W+K Studio has a great statement that reminds us of how it's impossible to make something take less time than it's supposed to take. That's a good thing to keep in mind in the new year.

For only $ 20. 

Buy it here.

I LVoe.

Getting Inspired...But I Need An Espresso, Now!

I am a bit hesitant before doing the training for the inspired service for coral economy, why? because this manifest that we'll be staying for a bit longer in the beautiful jungle. (jk). Anyhow, according to Jenni E. we need to embrace change to move on...and be better!

I saw things that amazes me, if I am travelling in economy with such improved stuff like retro fitted pillow, leather seats, superb inspired economy meals, choices of hot & cold beverages, state of the art in-flight entertainment system, passionate cabin crew and unparallel inspirational service plus competitive rates? what more can you ask for? Will you still travel with any other airline? Not anymore right?

Well I guess, change is good! I am inspired!

My only worry is that, will all crew have the same passion and acceptance to share inspirational experience with our guests? will they work with their hearts and not their egos? I guess not! Okay, let's see!

We aim To be the best airline in the world, we are almost there, bagging SKYTRAX's World's Leading Airline Award for 2009 is no joke! And for the first time, I was informed that we won almost 50 awards for the past 6 years! Including best cabin staff and economy meal service! Whew... we are indeed extraordinary! And change is really inevitable!

I bet our rival airline is having goose-bumps now, with all the resources of Abu Dhabi that can withstand until the next 100 years, with humbleness, anything is possible. And those little touches will make it work! Let see!

Japan flight is opening this quarter, I can't wait to see the Sumo Wrestlers, flambouyant Harajuku girls and to finally taste authentic nissins ramen, Sushi and Tempura, Oishi Desu Ne! Why Not!

Be Inspired! I am! Bonusssssss! (jk) I need an espresso now...

I LVoe!
