thoughtsmeister

as i sit here on my bed, eating my caesar salad with grilled chicken and drinking hot milo for my breakfast, i just realized that i’ve been trying to fill my days with things to do to make sure i’m busy to think about anything else. i’ve been busy lately, ever since i’ve been ‘coupled’ up. and i must say, the busy state is addictive. today, i’ve to remind myself that it’s fine to just rest, do nothing, stare at my wall and be ‘duh’ for the whole day. because honestly, i think it’s days like these which people who say they’ve no time, miss the most. so i’m savoring the first of june in all it’s awesome steadiness.

as of this moment, norwelle’s still in PI and he won’t be back until the 7th. i don’t know how much longer i can take it that he’s away from me (drama mode. hehe. i really just had to put that in haha! whaaat?! i miss him, ok?) but really, distance sucks as all of you know. i just sent him a text message today trying to be sad he’s away and all that, to selfishly get his attention away from his limited time to enjoy his last days of vacation, but failed miserably. hahaha! poor me… nah it’s ‘poor him’ really. i can be such a pain in the *ss. but hey, there are some masochists out there who wants me as their source of pain but i am just so taken… errr that didn’t come out right. hahaha! you get what i mean though.

anywaaay, i had my 5 day singapore-brisbane trip which was a first for me. after a year and a half of flying, crew scheduling finally decided that i, genevieve lualhati, 24 years of age, can finally set both my feet firmly on the grounds of singapore (where i’ve tons of friends whom i wasn’t able to meet up with) and australia (where my dad and half of my relatives, whom i wasn’t able to see as well, reside.) i had a lot of fun though. especially in brisbane, where koalas, kangaroos, sunshine and hot guys abound. i love citybeach. singapore was nice too, it was just sooo humid though. the hotel was in a great location, clarke quay, where bars and restaurants are just a stone throw away. the food is cheap too.

i loved the 5 day trip. wish i could have one again. with the exception of the jetlag it comes along with. you’d expect that i should be fine with it by now with a year and a half of being in different timezones ergo living without a bodyclock, but well, with me, just don’t expect anything. hahaha!

i found myself at the mall with three *ehem* gorgeous guys yesterday. red helped me decide which color of training sneaks i should buy at nike. since i actually value his fashion sense, i waited for him to arrive until i swiped my poor card for my latest purchase. there’s nothing like buying shoes to make you feel happy and satisfied. i love that feeling, don’t you?

rico and tristan joined us for lunch and all four of us went to ikea afterwards to get something we thought we wanted to buy but decided not to in the end when logic and self discipline kicked in. we had that, drop it in the pushcart - look around - drop more stuff again - and sadly leave it there inside the shop unwanted. i was actually the only one who bought something, for the three men i was with, hyperpanda was more of a reality for them.

after that ikea/hyperpanda journey, we headed over to OBD. with *wave* mia, kakat, jelz, mariah carey, kylie minogue, the family in georgia haunted by ghosts, the buzz PS3 game rey generously lent us, stories about crew life and work, tristan’s super delicious EVOO with spanish sardines, capers and olives pasta, unpaid leave and trips to spain, wine, amarulla and peppermint tea sessions, punchlines and laughter, i went home with a smile on my face. i missed it. it was just like the old times. these people never fail to make me laugh out loud.

today, i’m going out with my girls, gracie and zeldie to have dinner and catch up with each other. might also go over to red’s place if i can manage, to chat and borrow some dvds. but all that would have to wait. i’m still savoring doing nothing as of now and i’m not complaining.

yeah, it’s been a long time. i’m getting a bit lazy writing and i know i shouldn’t be. i need to keep my noodles from getting stuck and lately, it’s getting a bit sticky. hehe.

it has been a busy month.

1st. went to chowking to have a bit of breakfast by myself. played and talked to the cute kids inside the shop. went back home and had myself ready for my flight to houston. did my swaps. wishing for days off!

2nd. a long, long, long tiring flight. i’m glad the crew’re nice and so were the passengers. i miss mahal.

3rd. nasa or galleria? torn. ugh! i have a major headache. well, i won’t admit that i’m a shopaholic but galleria won. haha! shopped with the girls and had a bit of lunch at cheesecake factory. was so happy love called!

4th. had breakfast at the cafe downstairs and room service for lunch. did galley on our way back to dubai. it was all good since it was such a light load. nice easy breezy flight.

5th. we got quarantined for a bit when we arrived to see whether we were positive for swine flu and well, we all passed!

the houston flight was all about shopping and ribs for me. i’d do it again. hehe. but now i’m just glad to be back home with love.

6th. sleepover. fixed my stuff as well for my jakarta flight in the coming days. waited for love to come home.

7th. sleepover. did nothing particularly interesting. lazed around the whole day and come afternoon, had to get ready for dinner. shopped for stuff to cook and omg, i was able to f*ck*ng cook chopsuey. haha.

8th. sleepover. went to church with my tgif gang and found myself in ikea with gracie and kay. chika time and lunch at black canyon. went back to wait for love to come home. headed over to mercato to eat at bella donna and we watched wolverine. nice movie. we went back home with my sumpong and got an attack of hapo. huhu. it was over after a couple of hours though.

9th. rest day for my flight to jakarta tomorrow. sleep. eat. sleep. eat. i love.

10th. wasn’t able to sleep properly for this flight. haha. figures. i almost died on board while serving the passengers. i was sooo sleepy. i slept and missed dinner with the crew. had room service and slept some more. super happy i was able to extend my leave! yay! good news for the day. love called me, so happy to hear his voice.

11th. jakarta. i love this country because people are nice and it reminds me of manila somehow. had buffet breakfast and saw *wave* holly, one of my jc crewmates downstairs. created my list of things to do and what to pack as well. had booked a mandi lulur spa with a massage! omg. it was so good, i fell asleep instantly.

12th. talked to love as soon as i got back from my jakarta flight. created my dinner plan for his birthday and did partially my list of things to do. went on my flight to cochin. it was okay except for some weird crew which we can never avoid. haha.

13th. norwelle’s birthday. love! he’s turning 29. the flight was tiring but i had to do my stuff before heading over to give him a mind blowing dinner. hehe. after the flight, i decided to clean my room, therefore, i had to put sleep to the back burner. went to spinney’s as well to buy the stuff i needed and went to satwa immediately afterwards to catch some sleep. (i saw love’s message posted on the fridge: baby, can’t wait to see you! make it good. love, wel. awww… i swore to make it good.)

i was sooo tired i woke up when he called me on my mobile phone around 630ish . i then remembered dinner! omg. had to rush to cook up a storm! and what delicious storm it was, i must say. hehe.

love gave me a boquet of flowers as soon as he saw me. awww… and it isn’t even my birthday! haha! that’s my man! we had an awesome dinner, courtesy of me, took some photos, uploaded them and slept. we were dead tired.

14th. checked in online for my flight later on. went to city center to change money and pay my etisalat bill. printed my boarding pass as well. went back to wait for love to come home. had pizza for dinner. and then i left for the airport. i’m going for my much awaited vacay back in pinas. was sad and grumpy to part with love. ugh. wish he and i could go together.

15th. (i miss him agad. huhu.) slept thru most of the flight. excited to see the rest of the gang back home. yay! will call love as soon as i arrive. ate and leigh fetched me from the airport and we gabbed nonstop. the trip from the airport to our house in lp took such a long time. talk about traffic. saw our dogs. shibu’s so cute!

we got ready after awhile and found ourselves on our way to vigan come 11pm. this was my mother day’s trip for mom. hehe. kinda late.

16th. so we left at 11pm last night. had the car serviced, got coffee, candy and chips. got a bit lost but found our way. stopped at la union for a bathroom break. sad since we saw how calm the water was. no waves means no surfing. argh! we were going back there in a couple of days.

anyway, we arrived in vigan at 11am. checked in at grandpa’s inn. had lunch at cafe felicitas, and we had bagnet, pinakbet, vigan longganisa, soup felicitas, some avocado and melon fruitshakes. took a siesta.

2pm we started our calesa journey. stopped by san agustin church and the oldest bell tower, since 1581. saw padre burgos’ museum. went to see pagburnayan where pottery making was done and we bought some souvenirs. discovered hidden garden, haha! mom bought her plants. calesa-ed our way to gov. singson’s baluarte to see roaming animals. ate fishballs, drank juiceshakes and had our fill of some cheese flavored dirty ice cream. then we headed over to the abel iloco weavers and we bought blankets, mats, bags etc. we support pinoy goods! last stop was the famed calle crisologo where we bought more stuff to bring back home.

had dinner, found out love didn’t make it to his original trip because of his almost expired passport. he called to tell me and i missed his voice. i hope he can sort out his thing soon. i want to see him in manila.

17th. woke up and had breakfast. it was good. went to church to pray, to the palengke to buy vigan longganisa, and back to the plaza for some bibingka and chichacorn! yummy. left for our trip back to manila. was home before 9pm. love called me twice and i had a bit of tampo because i would only see him on the 21st. haaay… well what can i do. im just glad he got to singapore to visit his mom.

18th. mom and i had our footspa and manicure session and bought some stuff on my list. went to ate’s office and we went to toch arellano’s wake (may God bless his soul.) ate at jollibee on our way back home at the place to be.

19th. had breakfast and was still so sleepy. jetlag. me and mom went to poea. applied for multiple oec’s. here are some helpful stuff you can do there:

oec - ground floor of the building. 100php each. make sure to have a photocopy of your company id (back and front.) get the form and fill it up. find the guy named sir mark and he’ll help you thru everything.

owwa - to complete your oec application, you need to verify this with them, they have a window you can find at the same floor level. if you want to renew it (it’s valid for 2 years) you need to photocopy the form you filled up, go to the second floor and go in thru the door adjacent to the owwa sign you can see along the corridor. you pay the exact amount of 1203.22php.

philhealth - like with your owwa thing, you need to verify this as well (there’s a long window for it and it’s on the same floor level, ground) and philhealth is valid for 1 year. pay your 900php contribution if you need to.

go back to sir mark and he’ll give you a bill (for the oec) which you need to pay for at the fifth floor. once you have this, you can get back to him and voila! your oec is printed out perfect.

after all the running around, mom and i went back to southmall and had lunch at max’s. went to the doctor, bought my meds, had a facial together then mom went back home afterwards. i had a massage while wating for my dentist. went back to the clinic to get my twice a year cleaning.

baby called me. yay!

20th. went to medical city with ate donna and leigh. ate had her shots done. ate lunch at pancake house. love called me, he’s coming home tomorrow! yay! tried looking for the surfer’s bible at every nation in the fort and almost every bookstore we passed by but was unlucky to find nothing.

had my hair trimmed and met up with kuya marc who treated us out to sentro for dinner.

21st. happy birthday jepay! hehe.

uploaded our vigan photos and checked out club manila east to schedule our surfing lessons at the pool since there were no waves in la union or anywhere nearby we can go to.

met up with love who arrived in pinas that afternoon! yay! we ate at jollibee (haha! we missed it,) went to starbucks and waited for my sister and brother to arrive so we can have dinner. we bought my 30th birthday gift to ate. i bought her the hp mini laptop. went to tgif and had dinner. kuya marc and nina followed. love and i watched the movie startrek. and it’s such a surprise. what a cool funny movie. i liked it! love made sure i got home safely, so he went home with me.

22nd. went to club manila east and we got stoned! hehe. stoked or stoned, i was happy! i was able to surf and at least i got a cool lesson with the coaches (coach lorraine and coach ejay) from the psa (philippine surfing academy).

met up with kuya marc and love and we had lunch at tiendesitas. went to robinson’s galleria to check out the tattoo shop and we then headed back home with love in tow since he wanted to meet mom. stopped by mang raul to eat some esau (hahaha!) hotdogs and yema! yummy.

love met mom. it was all good! mom said he was cute and nice and that we have the same face shape. weird. anyway, love left around 10pm. i’ll miss him. he’s going to puerto tomorrow and i wouldn’t see him ’til next month when he comes back home here in dubai. haaay… and i saw my june schedule. quelle horreur! baby and i will barely see each other. it’s a busy roster! swap. swap. swap.

23rd. love’s in puerto. i’m leaving tonight. went to greenbelt with family and ate some delicious thai food in banana leaf. we watched angels and demons afterwards. cool movie. headed home so i can rest for a bit, had pizza delivered for dinner, went online for a bit and watched tv, took a bath and they dropped me off at the airport. i don’t want to leave yet.

24th. slept thru most of the flight. going on a vacation makes me tired. haha! good times though. i loved every minute of it. back in dubai around 6 in the morning today. made chika with grace and fixed my stuff. swap. swap. swap. will be resting for my singapore-brisbane flight later. i wish the crew’s nice and the passengers as well. hoping for a lovely flight.

be back after my 5 day trip. catch up with ya’ll soon!

wow. one whole month passed by without me writing anything down. no wonder my brain’s always muddled.

april had been one busy month. with my leave and a couple of successful swaps, three to be exact, it made my whole 30 days interestingly full. there were so many things that have happened that i should have written down while they were still fresh in my memories, the experiences i could have shared with you all in an exciting or funny narrative, or maybe in the most boring, factual or sarcastic entry you sometimes read when you get to visit my page and choose to waste your time reading my nonsense.

i know. i admit. i chose all 30 days to be lazy. hahaha! i kept putting it off until today. all the excitement, humor and freshness of it all has gone. so i’ll opt for the boring and factual type of reporting, excuse me, i mean writing, i find myself veering towards today.

april fool’s day. norwelle was still in PI. was able to talk to him for a bit when i was moscow before my flight back to dubai. i miss him terribly.

2nd ’til the 7th. one big-major-headache inducing-no regrets-exciting-spontaneous adventure i plunged wholeheartedly into. from doing an id90 to hkg, waiting for almost half a day (or night i should say), without sleeping at hkg airport using the free wifi until i reached manila via cebpac was such horror i wouldn’t want to relive the whole thing. but then maybe, i just could, again. if i needed to.

i went camping at anawangin, zambales with my jai ho family. then some island hopping. sun, sand, sea = bliss.

my one big-major-headache inducing-no regrets-exciting-spontaneous adventure left me barfing all the way back to dubai. omg. i don’t even remember the last time i puked out this bad. oh wait, yeah i do, i faintly remember my johannesburg trip…

8th. sleep over. im so happy norwelle’s back. yay!

9th. marked our first month as a couple. and we did nothing extra special except me who did her list of things to do with gracie in tow. figures. hahaha.

10th. was the day i wore my blue dress. after doing chores and finally finishing most of them, i went to see love. happy times.

11th ’til 13th. guangzhou flight. went out with my two girls jacky and rochelle for shopping. it was the only thing to do. okaaay, it was actually what our goal was, sight seeing didn’t really enter our minds. the babies were so cute there i want to kidnap them all and take them back home with me. hehe.

went out with zeldie that afternoon when i came back from the flight. i got a bit pissed at norwelle.

14th. we made up but didn’t get to talk much at all. pampering day for me. i knew it was about time to take care of myself again. that’s how we females are. ya’ know.

15th. bangalore flight. no need to say anything special. it was the same busy, i want to go home and sleep kind of flight. my room badly needed cleaning.

16th. aside from the normal yoga routine. i had to convince myself that it was finally time to clean up the mess in my room. so i did.

17th. madras flight. flew with our pinay purser fay. time went by so fast because all of us were making chika about life, love and everything dirty, funny and unbelievably interesting in between.

had my date with love and we discovered love’s new favorite restaurant in dfc—on the border, which served yummy mexican food. sarrrap.

18th. no waves. was supposed to surf with kuya marc and red since i invited him along but then dubai gave us a flat calm shore. red and i decided to go to aquaventure instead. and what a water adventure it was! i want to go back, not to try the leap of faith… oh no. the slides would do me just fine. hehehe.

met up with love at satwa and we had dinner at imperial palace. chinese food! yummy! sleep over ulit.

19th. spent almost the whole day with love. went with kuya marc to church and to dfc to help him buy his pair of shoes. all three of us had dinner at otb on me.

20th ’til 22nd. london heathrow. the flight was smooth. flew with pinays again. yay! dutyfree mode.

23rd ’til 25th. tunis via tripoli flight. it was not as nightmarish as i thought it would be. it was so much work though. as both my korean colleague and i have agreed upon after the flight was over. went out with the economy crew to sidi bou said to catch some of the mediterranean sights and taste.

26th. sleep over last night. norwelle cooked spaghetti for me. okaaay, maybe it was for everyone. hahaha! one more food to add to my list of favorites. we were such pigs all two days doing nothing. awww the bliss of spending time with him. i love.

27th til 29th. hamburg flight. the hotel we stayed in is my favorite so far. it’s location was perfect, (just a stone throw away from the lake and a couple of steps away from the city centre), green themed (literally plus they’re concerned about the environment), complete amenities (though the entertainment part sucks since it’s all german), and had an awesome shower feature. haaaay… more of this please emirates! hehehe. went to check out the city centre with my pinoy business class colleague. chips on the street, delicious pizza, some apple fizz, took some photos here and there, a bit of grocery shopping… that summed up my whole stay. didn’t even get to wake up for the breakfast buffet. dutyfree mode. commission!

oh, red letter day. ugh.

30th. sleep over. red letter day and it made me love my boyfriend even more. he took care of me, and he did so really well. he bought me my favorite snack (cheetos), rubbed my back to ease the ache caused by period pain, and filled my hotwater bag. awww.

went out with gracie and zeldie and headed over to city centre to eat, chat and help me buy my gift for norwelle since his birthday’s coming up. went to church. saw love again.

i love love, life and God. thank you. hehehe.

1st. today, it’s the first day of may. make sure to go out in the rain when the first one comes. let’s all expect to be blessed. update me with what’s happening in your own lives. i barely get the chance to do this with all of you.

oh, it’s my grandmum’s birthday today and im embarrassed as i should be, i don’t know how old she is really. i’m guessing from the 75-85 range, safe. so, one big happy birthday to my lola! i love you.

so that twentieth of march, to continue what happened, i did cook pasta. i also had the extra energy to clean the whole house and re-arrange the furniture. oh, i also cleaned my room. by that afternoon, i was more than tired i couldn’t explain what i felt. and i had standby later that night ’til tomorrow morning. i cannot believe three such pretty girls can live in a flat full of dust and dirt everywhere!!! hahaha! but that’s us. i love living with my flatmates/friends, they are certainly the best, cool and no fuss, i couldn’t ask for more. i am blessed to be living with the 119c girls.

too bad i couldn’t attend ate auee’s party. d*amn standby. hehe. but it’s all good. i talked to love most of the day.

i wasn’t pulled out for anything, so after some yoga, there i was the next day with gracie at city centre checking out things we would have loved to buy if only we had enough funds to carelessly spend. hehehe. had dinner at the boy’s mansion and spent time with love ’til the next day. watched dvds and slept. he made me breakfast. ehem.

had lunch/dinner with love and two of my kuya’s at chowking. he dropped me back in al fattan before my standby that 10pm. arriving home, i found the girls cooking up a storm. wish i could join them but i was about to commence duty. and as soon as i checked my roster, a karachi flight leaving early the next day appeared. oh well. better than nothing.

twentythird. the karachi flight wasn’t so bad. it was actually one of the best turnaround flights i’ve done and its all because of our seniors who were so infectiously happy positive people, everyone couldn’t help but feel the same. it makes such a difference if everyone had that predisposition, everything becomes fun and you feel as if you’re not working. hehehe.

went back home immediately after the flight, slept for four hours, watched tv, talked to love and then slept again. one whole day down.

finally an off day. zeldie and i were excited to see beb as we haven’t seen him for months! he was still as pogi as ever (naks, libre na’to red!) and he lost a lot of weight! jeez. talk about being a member of the anorexia club. haha. and no i did not give him the idea of using R to lose weight. no. i just mentioned it in passing and to tell him my ate’s story.

we went to moe to eat, get my x-card, have some coffee, watch a movie (he’s just not that into you) and search for beb’s perfect suitcase to use on his next month’s leave. it was fun to spend time with them again. i missed it!

anyway, love texted me such sad news that morning i couldn’t help but feel his sadness too. that night, he called me and had one of our highschool moments ulit. hehehe.

they gave me off again that twentyfifth. yehey. went early to see love and gave him my care package and his e-ticket which i printed off my laptop. he’s leaving that night to go to PI and will be back on the sixth next month. huhuhu. it’s so long. haaay… anyway, watched dvds ulit and talked. qt time.

ate halo-halo at chowking that afternoon (so yummy, i want one now) and i went back home missing him already. d*amn. hahaha.

yoga the following morning and talked to love online whenever he can get internet connection. how i wish i can go with him back home. oh well, pangarap, ganyan talaga ang buhay. i had airport standby later on. nothing special done today except paying off my small cc bill. hehehe.

was on airport standby that midnight of the twentyseventh and was lucky that one of the nice sfs’ i flew with before, mylene, was there. so we went thru the whole standby making chika and both of us were not pulled out. yay!

i miss love. (T_T) huhu. called him as soon as i arrived back home since he couldn’t sleep. i hope mom’s okay na. she came out of surgery lang. did nothing pretty much except to finish off my list of things to do which kept getting longer and longer as i realized there were so many things i’ve left undone. oh god. enough with lists.

come twentyeighth, i was still given standby. from 6pm ’til the next day at 2 in the morning. was online the whole day. i was so bored. went down to have a facial and came back to watch some dvds i borrowed from love before he left for PI. i haven’t heard from him all today except for his text message saying he was on his way to iloilo that 3am. i hope he’s fine.

cough, colds. ugh.

twentyninth. wasn’t pulled out again. i’m now on my rest day and boy do i need it. i am blazing with fever. oh no. chatted with people online. love called me from iloilo and at that moment i missed him more than ever.

even if i was such a wreck inside, my eyes watery and my skin warm and sensitive, it did not stop me from going to atlantis with the girls. what a nice place. would love to stay sometime in the 194,000dhs per night bridge suite. hehe. went around the place and had dinner. more gabbing, more laughter, more bonding time. it made me feel better. movement always does. hehehe.

thirtieth. red letter day. i am so not in the mood to fly. i’m better but not entirely. yoga that morning, was online the rest of the day and was surprised that they gave me a flight to moscow. again. what the hell is it with me and that place?! hahaha. the first time i went there was the best, the second was not so good since love and i were at war and i spent the layover inside my room crying, and now i have my period and love is away and in PI dealing with something sad. haaay. the flight was like a market place. and that was in business class. it was better in economy. i swear.

thirtyfirst. now here i am, in moscow, writing this entry. i want to just go abck to dubai and sleep in my own bed. love called me early today and i missed his voice. come back na! hehehe. kuya called as well to ask when love will come back from PI since they said they didn’t know. haha. russia sucks. walang same socket like in dubai. tuloy laptop ko wala na. paubos na battery. what a loser. wala kasi akong adapter and they don’t have the same one available here at the hotel. what the hell. let me just sleep and later wake up, work on the flight and fine my way back in dubai on april fool’s day.

How To Ask Out A Flight Attendant

i didn’t go grocery shopping that day. i said the three words in garamond font size one though. yeah, pathetic. haha.

i was off that tenth and i did nothing pretty much. watched sex and the city movie in dvd again for the fourth time. my mom called. awww… she’s so sweet, i miss her! chatted to my old dear friend melcy. *wave* had my date with norwelle that night. i didn’t know i was so tense and preoccupied. he said that something was bothering me and i looked like a guilty prison escapee shaking my head no. i wanted to blurt it out but i couldn’t. what a chicken.

we talked on the phone when he came home. and that was it. over the phone, i was able to say it. with his help of course. haha. we were both happy. i was so relieved i was able to get it out of me. officially, i want it to be on the 9th. so 9th it is.

had airport standby that 11th and was called out for a london heathrow flight. it was such a busy one that all we did was work. no time to eat, drink or even sit. i didn’t mind though. i was so out of it that i took shortcuts, lost my tabbard (since i left it in the aircraft) and lost my name badge as well. d*mn.

had buffet breakfast with my pinay crewmates vera and ella *wave* and headed off to hounslow to shop for a bit. after shopping, we went back to the hotel, rested and readied ourselves on our way back.

friday the thirteenth. after arriving back home, i unpacked, checked my mail and slept. i met up with norwelle at difc which was such a cool corporate place. haha. finally saw where he worked. we are going to one of his friend’s birthday dinner. omg, i am so tired. i haven’t slept properly but i am happy to go out with him.

the dinner was delicious. pinoy food always satiates my buds. we then went out for coffee with a couple of his officemates and headed back home to the big boy’s mansion. i saw his old photos and his new macbook which i so envy. i am destroyed, so tired, i slept.

breakfast the next morning was courtesy of him. egg, spam, kanin i was happy. went to the desert safari with zelda, ryno and their SA friends. my head is swimming. i have a killer headache and serious nosebleed. hahaha. i had fun and the tour was really cool.

fifteenth. went to church with kuya marc and kuya tam. saw my friends, madz, grace and jhobart. *wave* and love got a bit upset with me because i didn’t tell him agad. so sorry. my bad. it was all in a blur and i was in a cab already on my way to church. you called me before i can tell you.

went home with my kuya’s and had spaghetti for dinner courtesy of norwelle because i asked him to cook some. hehe. how lucky am i he knows how to cook. he even gave me my cheese spread. i made amends naman. stayed over and the next morning i went for my grocery shopping finally. met up with rish at long last and was able to give her the book lenya wanted her to read last year. it was that long. thanks to tita for my super delicious chicken roll! yummy!

talked to love on the phone and slept. that seventeenth i was on standby again and they called me out for a flight to cairo. wasn’t bad at all. it was full and i did the galley since i had no choice and eventhough i was everywhere, the crew i was working with were really good.

making plans is really an exciting part of being a couple. it makes me look forward to something but i never really give that much faith into it until it’s finally happening. hahaha. europe tour next half of the year? why not.

saw love that 18th and watched the movie race to witch mountain, which wasn’t so bad but it wasn’t that good either. chatted online with ning (thank for my ilonggo lessons) and red (thanks for the air miles tip beb, miss you!) earlier that day. i miss my people! the new dubai rule sucks. i wouldn’t really care before, but now… haaay.

did nothing yesterday. i pretty much just had myself glued in front of either my fat television set or my refrigerator laptop (according to kuya tam). then i saw my roster for today and saw i was on standby again. that meant i would miss ate auee’s party because it was exactly the time when her party would commence.

twentieth. i just woke up. haven’t had anything to eat yet. i’m going to cook me some pasta. have standby later tonight til tomorrow morning. later!

i miss the puppies!

why? well, i know i write a lot of stupid things here (too much information is a prime example) and i know that someday this blog would embarrass me in some way, but i just didn’t think that it would happen yesterday. hahaha! imagine having your thoughts read out loud by a program on a laptop with a couple of people as the audience… totally unnerving. i was mortified. i felt ‘naked’ as soon as i learned about it. the feeling of having your diary passed around for everyone to read.

i shouldn’t feel that way of course. and honestly speaking, i really don’t. i feel… like i’m a star! hahaha! i figured it just upped my awesomeness. people actually waste their time to read/ criticize/ make fun of/ dissect/ reflect on/ update/ compare their lives to/ look for juicy info with what i’ve written down. and i thank you all for it! i posted my thoughts out there, aware that everyone i know has access to read what i have created and this shall go on as long as i have my thoughts to write down.

so… let’s continue the saga.

last 4th, i got stood down from a flight all because i couldn’t pee on time. hahaha! i know… ridiculous, but it’s true. i was pulled out for a flight to egypt on my standby and was randomly selected for the drug and alcohol test. i did my business before coming to eghq so it took me awhile before i was able to give a bottle of specimen for them to check if i was positive for illegal drugs. how inconvenient was that? i wanted to go on the flight but some things cannot be helped. even by a 1.5 liter bottle of water.

5th. was still on standby from the evening until morning of the 6th but gladly i wasn’t pulled out. i wouldn’t mind working but i would probably feel like a zombie serving whatever there is available on board to our valued customers.

went to the big boys mansion that night with gracie to attend the birthday bash. it was fun as usual. lots of people ringing the doorbell every couple of minutes or so, people talking and laughing, girls and boys getting drunk, etc. you get what i mean. i was sober though. i was just happy to be there to greet both my kuya’s in person and spend a bit of time with norwelle (who is absolutely sweeter when drunk. hahaha!)

went back home around 3 in the morning of the 7th and i was out like a light as soon as my head hit the pillow. i woke up after a couple of hours with a sore neck. d*mn that pillow. it’s been giving me sleep problems since last year but i tried keeping up with it. i need to buy a new one now or else i would be forever punishing myself.

had a nice bubblebath that afternoon and kept on thinking and rethinking about my future plans. went out to watch a gory film with friends that night and i really had no idea watchmen would be that wildly graphic. some enjoyed the movie, i pretty much didn’t. i was just glad i was spending time outside my room and with norwelle.

8th. was on standby again and wasn’t pulled out. i had my butt stuck to the bed and watched tv the whole day enjoying one of my favorite series, how i met your mother. had this crazy urge for days now, one quick smoke was all it took to keep my energy levels up. thanks baby. went out with gracie, zeldie and zeldie’s little brother, ryno *big wave* to wafi.

9th. another day off. i woke up this morning and saw fog outside my huge windows. i haven’t seen fog since i was in training college last 2007. and man, was it thick. i remember being in ngong ping with gracie all of a sudden.

so, yeah… i don’t know what else to do today besides my usual routine. hmmm… some grocery shopping at spinneys maybe. a little later in the day.

i’m getting hungry… need to eat. later!
