the GOOD LIFE that lasted for 4 days and 3 nights



APRIL 1, 2010... Thursday...

FLIGHT SCHEDULE: Philippine Airlines... April 01, 2010.. Thursday... 07:10AM..

Holy week... Holiday... No work... Long Vacation... what do you expect? a number of travellers and long lines at the airport...

I booked my flights online at http://www.philippineairlines.com/ days ago... that's what i actually promised myself after what had happened on my last Cebu Pacific Flight to Manila... PAL is way better than Cebu Pac... and that's a FACT!

I didn't wait that long actually... that old joke about PAL being Plane Always Late did not really materialize... the flight was on time and it was even minutes ahead of the estimated time...


During the flight, i was seated at Seat 63H... next to me was a middle-aged woman who did not show any interest for some chitchats, so i decided to play with my cam instead of sleeping...

My first shot: a RAINBOW reflection at the wall next to the comfort room...hmmmm... not another sign huh?! lol...



Free PAL inflight foods: VOICE coated wafer, Greaseless Salted Peanuts and Nescafe Coffee...


Took a picture of the aircraft's safety tips before and during the flight... AVOID CAFFEINE but offer coffee? lol...


Mannerism 101: biting straws, stirrers, anything that i can possibly bite especially when i get bored ..lol... poor stirrer! cut his head and neck off.. lol...

My other seatmate... ssshhhh.. he's reading... actually, this man gave his violent reaction upon seeing a woman approach the guy on the check-in counter.. he thought she was cutting the long, slow-moving line.. but the woman actually went back after paying her travel tax... DON'T JUDGE mister! KNOW THE FACTS! lol....

Dinner Time: My first YakiMIX experience... the place actually opens at 6pm.. but if you go there at 6pm, you'll end up waiting for like 48 years.. we came there almost an hour before the said opening time but the thing is, we didn't expect that reservations should be made... so we ended up waiting for like more than an hour just to get a table... Chinese and Koreans flooded the whole place... it was like 'hey! where am i?' ... lol

FOOD was great! maybe that's why lots of people are really willing to wait... i actually forgot to take pictures of my first plate... i was too hungry to remember.. lol...

me... having my first YakiMIX dinner..yumyum..

SOOOOOO FULL!..

HOME SWEET HOME.... night!

APRIL 2, 2010... Friday

Woke up Late.. blame it on the heavy dinner..lol..

BREAKFAST: Spinach Soup, Boiled Eggs and Orange Juice...

Tried to go online but Globe Tattoo wasn't that speedy so i ended up watching cartoons on Cartoon Network... i don't really believe that cartoons are just for kiddos... til now i find it entertaining and i can watch it the whole day (not into animes though)...

5PM... Basketball Time... i was so dressed up for shooting some hoops.. pink sleeveless top, shorty shorts, my LIVESTRONG baller, socks, nike shoes and a MOLTEN bball... but guess what? i ended up just watching the guys play til dark.... it was fun watching though...

9PM ... Swimming Time.. slid like 1 cover-up and 3 bikinis on my baggage.. pretty excited to hit the beach... but i wasn't able to go somewhere near the beach... sigh... instead, i just spent like half an hour on the pool to relax and feel the cold water wash the summer heat.. it's actually better than not going anywhere ayt?...

9:30PM... DINNER at Claire dela Fuente's Seafoods and Grill ...

All set for another dinner in Hollister, shorty shorts, Ipanema slip-ons and my glasses...

i usually go for FOUR SEASONS juice....

Ordered 1/2 Kilo of Crabs in butter and garlic which i finished alone... lol... kinda messy but i don't actually care... not that particular with the cholesterol thing cos it's not like i always eat crabs... it's just giving in to my craving.... had squid (pusit), kinilaw, halaan soup and crispy kangkong... believe it or not... for the whole meal, i only ate like half cup of rice... yay!

April 03, 2010... Saturday...

Woke up with a banging headache and a runny nose...sooo lucky!! .... took a tablet of ibuprofen and one Zyrtec.... yay! happy again....

La Prairie.. http://www.shoplaprairie.com/ ...CELLULAR SERUM PLATINUM RARE costs $650 each???? CELLULAR EYE CREAM PLATINUM RARE(20ml) is at $350???? WTF!!!!

2PM... Lunch at RACKS... had baby ribs and chicken with a spinach sidedish together with a bottomless iced tea.... yum..yum...

me enjoying a heavy meal after the headache and colds...

Planned to watch a movie but the line was sooo long and the next movie schedule for IMAX was at past 5... no other choice but to go mall-walking to kill the time...

walk..and walk....

NEXT STOP:

BANANA SPLIT the traditional way..... looks soooo yummy!

had BALL of FIRE... choco ice cream cake fired up with rhum.... but the thing is, u get to see a short sing and dance performance of two staffs singing "blah..blah... BALL OF FIRE"..then the other crew lighted the whole cake... kewl! ..it's a big cake actually, but i ate it all...lol...

Lost the interest in watching IMAX... so decided to go home.... it was like past 5pm and it's basketball time again... i was hoping to do the hoops this time... but theyoung guys were playing again so i ended up sitting and waiting when will they get tired of playing..lol....

yay! finally they're done... i got the court all to myself... got some balls in but got more balls out...lol...

Got really tired after the little exercise... i slept instantly.... when i woke up it was like almost midnight... got dressed for a dinner AGAIN... yay! ... i actually found myself a SUPERHERO date...lol

10 Things i will really miss when i get back to DAVAO....
1. waking up really late
2. sleeping and waking up in a really comfy bed and cold room (my room badly needs an AC)
3. hot/cold shower
4. shower gels and super nice shampoo and conditioner (i think the name starts with N.. not sure)
5. free food
6. free transportation
7. shooting hoops and watching basketball games
8. dipping at the pool
9. watching cartoons whenever you want
10. having good conversations
can i actually ask for a little extension?????
guess GOOD THINGS never last.... BACK TO REALITY then!
