Haller from Miles Away!!!

Haller! sorry for the late update. i was some kinda afraid to go out of the house and look for net cafe kasi baka maligaw ako. the flight was great, it was actually the first time i've ever ridden a plane. i was upgraded to business class, so the flight was even greater. almost all the passengers in the plane were filipinos. at first, i was wondering why the passengers around me and the attendants keep talking to me in english, while they talk to others in tagalog. yun pala, they thought i was either indian or iraqi, they didn't know i was a filipina. i wasn't able to eat that much sa plane kasi although the food presentation was great, the taste kinda suck. but the service was great too. siguro ganon talaga kasi business class. too bad i didn't have a window seat. i was seated in the middle row so wala talagang chance to appreciate the view outside. the plane i rode was great kasi i have my own tv set. i was able to watch shark tale twice, 5 episodes of friends, 3 episodes of who said that line anyway (wla nito sa pinas pero sobrang funny talaga), and the feed of the view from the cockpit's camera. it was a 10-hr flight nga pala. i had a stopover sa bahrain (pronounce it as ba-huh-rain). and we were stuck there for 7 hours because of the delayed plane. buti na lang may mga nakilala na ako sa plane kaya may nakausap naman ako during the 7-hour wait. their airport is really nice. so anyway, finally, dumating yuung plane na sasakyan namin to dubai. buti na lang business class ako kasi iba't ibang nationalities na yung nandon, and trust me, they really don't smell that good. my seatmate naman was a greek. galing silang athens ng family niya and sa dubai sila magchchristmas. hindi rin ako nakakain ng marami kasi i chose to eat pancake over scrambled egg. wrong move! ( ben, ian, bobbie: hehe.. di pa rin ako nadadala). so finally nakarating ako ng dubai airport. andami-dami pa palang kailangang gawin. actually konti lang pala. sobrng laki lang airport nila kaya ang layo ng nilakad ko, carrying my handcarry which is actually hard to carry. sobrang cool ng airport nila as in! parang may mall sa loob. :) and everybody is so nice. they actually speak in tagalog. napgkamalan ako ulit na hindi pilipina. i don't know if that was a compliment or what. so anyway, nakauwi rin ako. i'm actually temporarily staying in sharjah, 20 mins away from dubai. i've been to dubai kahapon and sobrang ganda doon. it actually reminded me of global city, although times 5 pa ang dubai don. it's not so hot naman dito, parang almost summer jan. palibhasa december and it's really cold kapag gabi.

today, i am celebrating... uhh... milky's bday! happy bday milks! aside from that i'm actually celebrating something else. no, it's not a clelebration pala. more of grieving this day (alam ni milks to!). sobrang nakakalungkot tong araw na to, and it's just too bad na i don't have friends around me to comfort me. sobrang nasasad talaga ako... hay...

anyway, i haven't seen josh yet so hindi ko pa nabibigay ang mga padala ni suzie. di pa rin kasi ako makalayo ng bahay at di rin sya nagrereply (actually di ko sure kung wala lang ba siyang load or ayaw lang talaga niya akong makita :p)

no job yet. still searching. pls pray for me ha. di pa rin ako nakakahanap ng church. catholic lang ang alam ng mga tao dito.

i miss you all. pero malay niyo, balik din pala ako in 1 month hehe! yun ay kapag hindi ko kinaya dito. discriminated pala kasi ang mga babae dito. or else, kitakits tayo sa hongkong (alf and ben)!!! chige, till next time. medyo mahal ang net so di ko alam kung kailan talaga ang next time.
