I Need Wheels, hot wheels !!

I’m so jealous of that little bastard of a kid in that picture. I want one of those bikes. One of those uber-cool, uber-retro, uber-60’s, uber-70’s bicycle ! I need wheels, desperately. I’m now living in a relatively bike-safe part of Dubai and eager to discover the greens, go to the supermarket and look so [...]

Move Update #2

So the exode towards greener fields or sandier lands more like is well under way. In fact, I have nearly completed the very stressful activity of packing and boxing. I needed a few more boxes and went for a quick run at IKEA. and foud these boxes :

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). [...]

Airboy does New York & Aquaventure in Dubai

Ohh man, where do I start ? This was to be a reserve month with unknown destination building up to a shitty roster. But faith had it differently. I was bound for New York, the Big Apple, The Center Of The World. I was desperate to go. I packed everything I needed : camera, laptop, [...]

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. [...]

May Roster detailed… I heart Crew Schedz!

So you’ve probably guessed where I’ll be heading in May ! I didn’t expect much from Crew Scheduling this month as I was supposed to get a whole long month of reserve, homecalls and airport standby. None of that, nada, nicht, rien !! I got a full fledged roster with some nice layovers in tow [...]

What went down in Paname (slang for Paris) + VIDEO

I apologize for the lateness of this post but priorities remain priorities and things will never change : ie, blogging about me getting lost in a random part of Dubai seemed much more entertaining than my Parisian hols…Anyway… I came back from Paris, France from my little 8 day break just over a week ago [...]

In Paaaareeeeee for 8 days

Hey peeps. I’ve safely landed in Paris after some crosswinds made the approach into CDG a little more challenging for our Flight Crew. We landed with a beautiful sunset, clear skies and just the perfect spring time here. The flight over was real nice although I must say I forgot how long an hour could [...]

366 days in the SANDPIT !

Yep, it’s official, 365 days have gone by since I landed in the middle of a desert. I have seen a viaduct being built right in front on my window, a few dozen new towers spring up, a few hundred new roads layed out, all this in the span of a little year. A year [...]

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 [...]
