Update

Back again to Melbourne and now to Auckland. Two more sectors to go and I will be back to Dubai. This time around the Melbourne - Auckland combo did not do so much damage to my body. So far the antacid helps me sleep better and the earplugs makes me forget the strange noise coming from the bathroom. The weather is absolutely divine and I found so many familiar faces . I've flown with 2 or 3 people in this flight and our Purser is such a lovely fellow. It turns out I am seemingly loving this trip . Thank God indeed I thought I will be dead all throughout.
Right now I'm just watching some lame show on MTV- the British version of Jersey Shore Geordie Shore. There's just so many young people wasting their lives over endless parties and casual sex. Sadly looks fade and people get fat.
I will be trying my luck to get into a Manila flight after this . I can't wait to see my dad and just visit my mother's place. One year of not being home feels like a hundred years ago. May the odds be always at my favor.
ciao!

This Just IN

I spent half of my day clearing away some junk living inside my closet. Looking for one small paper dating two years back certainly pushed me over the edge. I even missed Breakfast and Lunch. I guess this should have been one of my new year's resolution : Throw 'em when You don't Use them.
Just now finally I got a breather. Since December I've been running around to hell and back. Been so busy that I did not even take some time to write a decent post or actually write in my daily planner. 2012 wrapped up so quickly. But that was quite a year! Magical, a Breakthrough Year of many things!
Christmas was surprisingly fun and easy given that I went to a family Christmas Eve dinner and report to work a few hours later. Such a blessing it turns out since that flight was so light and all the crew were exuberantly happy that I did not feel like working at all. I met a few interesting people too whilst on-board.
While the rest of world was doing the countdown for 2013 we were securing the cabin for arrival. We touched down Melbourne half past midnight Dubai time and I was on a sleep break during midnight Australia time. So that was it. I just spent the whole time sleeping in my hotel room and taking Panadol and Antacid every two hours. I hope Australia will give me amazing vibe for the rest of the year. I made lots of money on that flight while keeping myself alive. I guess I will be working very hard this 2013, my new adventure continues...
I arrived to Dubai on my birthday. I was so touched that the same people whom I got to spent my New Year's would be the same people who will greet me first. They made me an on-board greeting card and gave me a perfume-set from Duty Free. Exhausted but happy, Delighted and Hopeful. I tucked myself in my bed for two hours until I went out to meet my Significant Other. After almost three weeks of being apart, having him in my arms just made every stress in my body disappear. I got everything I wanted and even more! I don't really like the idea of ageing. Well, it seems like I have no choice but face the inevitable.
I made an agreement with myself to work hard and play hard this 2013. I got used to working hard only and just deprive myself of the luxury of just breathing slowly once in a while.
I also made a pact with myself to eat more healthy on-board and on-ground. I should not made excuses not to work out. I am so blessed to have a great healthy body and an amazing metabolism but that should't make me lazy or complacent. Especially now that, I just got a year older. If only I can just be forever 21.

I am so excited to explore new destinations this year.
I am so thrilled with the idea that most of what I dreamt of last 2012 materialized and that this 2013 I will aim higher and work harder since nothing is impossible anyway.

I loved the fact that I am aching for someone who feels the same way about me. It's nice to feel the butterflies living inside my tummy again whenever our hands touch. ~~Now I am feeling so 21 again~~. Date nights turned out to be crazy and fun-filled and stress reliever. And that's just how love should be. right? I am happy.

I guess I have to grab my 2013 planner now. I have a long list to consider.
It's been a great start.
I am praying for more awesome days to come!

Rock ON!!!!

CheeseCake Heaven!

It was the opening of The Cheesecake Factory in the Mall of the Emirates and we were lucky enough to be invited to eat for free...so of course, we set-aside our diet plans for today and just dive in to mega- calorie indulgence.
