My new bestfriends.

October 18, 2008

So I’m back from some crazy flights these past few days. My body clock’s going crazy and now I’m installing super dark curtains in my room to block the light. Anyway I found new items to travel with me. Even if I am a flight attendant, it doesn’t mean that I do not have a life. I can basically travel and be a passenger too– having free tickets to boot because of the benefits from the airline. Yay! So during my regional hopping days, I found a few things that I fell inlove with.

 

 Luxurious Lambie Collection from Bath and Body Works

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Eye Mask is divine. It’s so soft and it’s great for sensitive skin like mine. I really could sleep like a baby inside the cabin. It also has those cute eyelashes mimicing a lamb’s! Reminds me of the eye mask that Audrey Hepburn used in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.

 

It doesn’t mean that I do not trust an airline’s blanket whenever a flight attendant hands me one. You’ll just never know where they came from. So if I’m travelling– by plane or land, I bring my own blankie in my trolley. This Lambie blankie is so soft. Just think of a baby blankie. TIP: Try spraying some of your aromatherapy oil to your fave travel blankie. Would really help you feel relaxed the whole trip. My fave is lavender.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then after your blankie, a pillow should not be missed. This is not exactly a pillow but you can use it as one. It’s a plush that is so soft. Again, think, baby stuff. Great for girls with sensitive skin like me.

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And no, this one’s not for the cabin. I use this in hotel rooms, even at home. They’re so cute! I even got the black one. Great for those uber tired feet– after having a warm bath.

 

Soooo soffft socks. Need I say more?

 

When travelling, always think that you might not be in a business or first class. Some airlines wouldn’t give out blankets, pillows, socks and eye masks these days. Think cross-cutting. So you got to pay more to have more of these kits for your 12 hour flight. So you’d better bring something like these before hopping on a plane. You’ll never go wrong, you can even use them in a hotel if you do not like those itchy hotel slippahs.

 

Kylie Minogue Asian Tour

October 13, 2008

When I read about her upcoming Asian tour, I was so excited that she might come in Manila. Kylie cancelled her concert here a few years ago because of her cancer way back. 

I read this from a forum somewhere and I’m planning to see her– that IS if I HAVE time though. Having my crazy schedule for this month is a total nightmare. 

“After wowing European audiences with a tour running through August, Australian pop star Kylie Minogue will open her Asian Kylie “X” tour in November.

The tour will kick off in Singapore on November 25, and head to Hong Kong on November 27, according to MTV Asia’s Web site.

The showgirl will then go to Shanghai’s Hongkou Stadium on November 29, the Shanghai-based News Times reported.

The tour will be a huge production with a budget of more than 100 million yuan (US$14.66 million), the report said.

“X,” released in 2007, is the tenth album from Minogue, a breast cancer survivor.

So when could I have the chance to see Kylie? Too bad. 

Anyway I’m having a bad cold now. It’s not like a having a flu or something that might get me on sick leave or so. I can fly as long as I can handle the pressure– keeping myself tortured because of earache. Now I need to get some rest and drink plenty of water plus, take lots of Vitamin C. Ciao!

 

Why Are You Still Calling Me?

October 7, 2008

Years had past. We forgave. We forget. Things have changed. Everything’s different now.

My life was like an journey when I realized that we could never be together. Who’s fault? Not mine, and hopefully it was not yours. I guess you were just lost. Longing for something that you cannot even have. Looking for something that you cannot even find. Probably you were just lost. Lost somewhere that realizing nobody’s there for you. Or that you think, that your special someone will always be there for you. But the years proved them wrong. Though you think that everything will be okay because you think that in time, everything will be alright. You think that in the long end, you will be in a happy place with the happy people around you, have a perfect, normal, happy life. Like what I’ve said. Time proved everything wrong. Everything will change. For a reason? Maybe not. Because people make this reasons, for just something to happen.

 

I appreciate that you still think of me. Telling me on how you miss me– on how I sound when I’m laughing, or even making you laugh. I appreciate that you still know my weaknesses in some way. Making me feel that I’m truly missed. 

 

Still I bet, you do not have and idea on how I cried at nights, when I was longing for you. When I was sending signals that I needed you to be there by my side. You had no idea what would make me happy. Because you were never there.

 

Nonetheless, I do not have to say it, shout it, or let the whole world know that I hated you. Quickly you realized that you were forgiven. Probably that’s why you are still calling. I know why you are still doing this. I know that you need someone who will actually listen to your rants, heartaches, everything that we could talk about under the sun. And in the long run, you would probably realize that I am the one who will always be there, to listen.

 

I have moved on now. It’s almost like three years of a journey of not thinking about you. I have my life back. Someone is actually now waiting for me to get home, and asking me if I had my dinner, and talk to me about everything. Someone who I could share my pint of cookie’s and cream while watching dvd. Someone who could get mad if forget to take my vitamins. Someone who could even go with me to the mall, stroll there for the whole day just for looking for one item that I’ve been ranting. Someone who could actually cry with me. And someone who would make me feel that he needs me for a lifetime. 

 

I’m praying for you. Praying that you could find the perfect way to happiness. Wishing you all the best that life has to offer. If you do need someone who could listen, you know that I am still here. I will always be here to pick up the phone in the middle of the night and we could talk about everything. But I may not be always there for you– because I have my life back. Hopefully you could have yours.

 

Take care. Take lots of care. And I wish you the best.

 

 

Snippet: "You Know You’re A Flight Attendant If…"

October 5, 2008

Sunday Schmunday.

Feels great to be at home on a Sunday. I’ve been missing this a lot. Catching up with my family, friends, and have time to clean/organize my room like what I’ve been doing before when I was in school. Waking up with no alarm by my bedside, smelling the freshly cooked crunchy bacon, and hearing my little cousins’ laughter outside playing. Had a biiiiiiiiig breakfast with bacon, eggs, frenchtoast and more kaya to death.

Ahh loving the weather. More like London/Baguio-esque type of weather. Still my number one enemy would be chapped lips and dry skin, as usual. And if I would have chapping lips, I would really have a nasty, icky chapped lips. So for every single damn day, I never forget to moisturize, even on a hot day. My mom taught me this when I was still twelve years old. So imagine at high school, I’ve been always conscious about my skin when it comes to dryness. I do really have a dry to sensitive skin so I cannot use everything that would keep my skin moist and not irritated.

 

I use Nivea Visage Sensitive Balance Day Care Creme.

 

Product Action:
NIVEA VISAGE Sensitive Balance Day Care is a skin friendly moisturiser specifically developed for sensitive reactive skins. Used regularly, it provides instant and long-term relief for your skin and enhances its natural resistance to everyday external influences:

 

• The highly compatible formula is skin pH-neutral and free of fragrances, colourants and alcohol.
• Enriched with Licorine, a very effective natural ingredient, it quickly calms skin irritations and visibly reduces red areas.
• A Balancing Complex strengthens the natural resistance of the skin to harmful external factors and reduces its sensitivity and irritability for long lasting relief.
• The nourishing formula provides the skin with intensive moisture.
• The special NIVEA VISAGE UVA/UVB protection (SPF protects sensitive skins from damaging UVA/UVB rays.

 

Result:
Your skin is relieved from tightness and blushing, for a long lastingly healthy looking and well-balanced skin.

I always use this in the morning after shower, a few minutes before applying primer for my make-up - right after removing my make-up before going to bed. I do not feel any tightness on my face like other moisturizers would do. And due to extra dryness caused by flying/humid weather on board, my skin around my eyes would tend to dry at times, making my make-up a little too cakey. That’s why before putting make-up and after removing it, I always use Olay Total Effects Eye Creme.

I love it cause it’s light and it doesn’t sting. Plus the little shimmer that leaves my skin.

 

 

 

And for chapped lips, the ever handy-dandy all around Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.

Everybody around the world loves this magic gooey stuff. Who doesn’t?

 

 

 

So if you’re living in a place where the rain doesn’t stop, or pour, never forget to moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize. Do not also forget to drink plenty of water, especially like me if you’re always onboard where the hair is humid and everyday will dry up. Like your hair too. But that’s a different issue. I’ll post some about hair dryness some other time.

For the meantime, let me organize my room again. Toodles.

Turquiose and Purple Eyeshadow

October 3, 2008

I’ve been really addicted to watching tutorials on Youtube about applying colorful eyeshadows that I never even thought other colors could really match. I subscribed to this channel on how she applies make-up, and her make-up collection - and I love her accent too! 

 

 

Okay I’m off for a flight in a few hours. I really like the weather yesterday and I can see that we have clear skies in Manila today. Hopefull there would be no more mighty turbulence this evening. Had already a couple of bruises since last week.  

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

Rainy day = my chocolate craving attacks.

October 1, 2008

I’ve recently found out that my supply of hot cocoa and Toblerone in the fridge are missing. Probably my little cousins took it since it’s a holiday today so there’s no school, so they are here to bug me. Anyway I got so bored so I went online to check some new recipes. Out of nowhere, I saw something about microwave cakes. I’ve tried it one with the Hello Kitty Microwave Cake Mix that is no good, that even a three year old can do. Raided the kitchen and thankfully saw some of the ingredients and whipped it in no time.

 

 

Microwave Chocolate Cake in 5 Minutes

Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons cake flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
1 Mug

Instructions: Mix everthing and pop it in the microwave for 3 minutes. Wait until it stops rising and goes back into the mug and, viola!

 

NEW BLOG. NEW HOME.

From transferring to one blogsite to another, hopefully I could call this one my home.

So it’s almost 85 days `til Christmas. Must save moolah for my inaanaks!
