So far, So Good. Or supposedly. TWO NEW LAVIATORS. DL#81.

Geeez, where do I start ?! It’s seems like a decade since I blogged something. Time just flies by so quickly. Been super busy and super tired. Since I last updated the blog I went to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Tripoli (Libya), Tunis (Tunisia), Chennai (India) and heading to my beloved monthly Bombay/Mumbai very soon. Hey [...]

Michael Jackson / 1958 – 2009

Yo habibtis. I came back from Gatwick/Crawley this morning and was shocked to overhear a phone conversation in the crew bus. MJ had died yesterday ! Cardiac arrest some say. Who on this planet hasn’t once boogied to one of his killer tunes ? Difficult to say. He will remain one of the biggest pop [...]

Michelle Obama Laviates with us !

These two are freakin’ funny ! How I cracked a laugh when I saw the one with Michelle Obama !
Colon says : “KUL-MNL via Malaysian Airlines. I got left behind by my original flight back to Manila from Jakarta, so I had to purchase a last minute ticket via MH ($400 one way…Im still mourning). [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #80. Chromeo / Fancy Footwork. Update on my move…

Ever since Oz bluetoothed this track to me yesterday, I haven’t stopped playing it. It’s desperately catchy, insanely groovy and the 80’s synth-electro-rock-pop sound of the whole deal makes me wanna… boogie.
Chromeo is a Montreal based electrofunk duo whose music is described as “a shameless return to the glistening, sex-saturated synth-pop which ruled the eighties.”
The [...]

HOTEL GOSSIP. WTFML. TWO NEW LAVIATORS

Hey guys. I’m relieved I got off this return flight alive. And that is being honest. I spent the past 8 hours walking up and down the aisles with absolutely not a second for myself and my poor little weak legs. I did not sit once in 8 hours. That’s how bad the flight was.
It [...]

Airboy does Shanghai #2 + VIDEO

I haven’t been on a layover for a hell a long time and going to CBC with a cargo suitcase actually felt good. We were bound for Shanghai in China. The flight over was busy as ever and lasted around 8 hours (chock to chock). I was happy after my string of turnarounds to finally [...]

Well Done. Update of the last 72 hours

You probably remember one of my highly entertaining Mauritius trips back last month. We had to deal with something unusual on-board while cruising over the Indian Ocean (ETOPS, meaning far away from any suitable airport to divert to). I cannot give you any details as briefed but upon checking my snail-mail inbox this morning (I [...]

Common Flight Attendant problems : Layover Blues.

I’ve experienced such state a few times already. Doing circles in my hotel room like a goldfish in bowl. As it might sound funny from the outside, it isn’t for the one living it. Living this fast paced life can lead to all sorts of different behaviors and moods you never thought you’d go through. [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #75 / Daft Diana – Massive Fear – Justice – Sharon Jones

OOOhhh God, I haven’t posted any tracks in a long time ! Well, no more waiting folks, I have FOUR KILLER TUNES to share with you today. It’s raining here in Dubai, yesterday we saw hail smashing down our dirty windows and gust winds slashing lightweight kids away from their mothers… Today my habibis your [...]

I visited Sharjah, the different way.

Plans were made late last night. We were all at the Shangri-La for yet another Moroccan restaurant and decided today was going to be spent visiting Sharjah. Quite a useless idea considering the place. It’s basically only sand, a few buildings and some hectic traffic. But since Fred (the only close mate who can borrow [...]

Airboy does Mauritius in 2009 / Atlantis Resort in Dubai

Before I go on and rant about this dreamy place I just went to. I’ll bore you for a few minutes more and let you all know that I finally paid a visit to the Palm Jumeirah and its now famous Atlantis resort. Earlier on last year (November 4th I think) they opened the place [...]

Random moments caught on camera / Soiree Raclette

I have a lot of meaningless videos on hand. I heart nonsense. This is why I mixed some of them in this little clip. Most of the dialogues are in French. Shot in various places with various people. I just came back from a Soiree Raclette in 21st Century Tower where the french contingent lives. [...]

Today we’re focusing on remixes with the likes of DiscoTech who has been on the North American scene for quite some time now. He rocks the decks at [...]
