Crew Rest No. 12 - Happy Birthday Di!

For those who have been reading my blog from the very beginning, you may have met my bestfriend Diane in some of my posts...trashing her like ever. She already left Doha last April and eversince things were never the same. I've got no one else to share my most intimate moments and silly laughters with. Grocery shopping isn't the same as well. But truly, I'm happy for her. She is now in peace and does the things she's been longing to do. For now the sparrow may have clipped her wings but soon you'll see her flying once again. Miss you Di! Hope to see again soon! Happy Birthday. Love yah!

Before Diane left, she surprised us with this video. When I saw this, I just started crying. That was the time I realized her resignation was for real (Actually I co-wrote her resignation letter while watching Brokeback Mountain). Well... also... because I was too exposed (almost like being barenaked). Funky hair, bad hair day, eyebags, big boobs, short shorts and an Xrated pic that can be mistaken for an FHM pin up ( I've actually edited this part. hahahaha... sorry.)

Okie. okie let's play a game. Watch the vid and answer this question. "What is my favorite color?" Ready?

POD No. 1 - Earth to Blogosphere

I dunno but I think John Lloyd fans in the person of Jane and Dheena came by and didn't like what I wrote (or my face at all) in my previous post. Sorry girls(boys?). In as much as you wanna puke your guts out for comparing moi to your idol, sadly, the feeling is more than mutual. With that I leave you this song, especially dedicated to both you. Since I've got no character, not much of a grammar-word-wiz / showbiz reporter look alike (hmmm... Rey Pumaloy? or Ogie Diaz? Tita Cristy? hmmm lower...), well perhaps this might help you know me better. "I did not kill anybody" (if I may borrow La Aunor's line)... but I might just... (Shucks, my "baduy" self is manifesting again... hahaha need some "pretend-to-be-rich pills"). *goes into epileptic fit*

I'm quite flattered actually, Gosh! I'm getting POP! I have detractors already. I didn't expect it coming... so overwhelming, think I should start posting more of this stuff hahahaha... Love yah! mwah!



As promised, my first podcast!
Warning: What you are about to hear is but CRAP! Never heard myself speak really and I sound horrible! So embarrassing.! Typical pinoy accent bwahahaha... Have to keep my promise so here goes nothing... (Click the Image)


This reminds me of my tatay's (dad) voice tapes way way back. My gosh I'm a true blue OFW already! It's like making one to all you that I left broken-hearted in Manila hahahahaha...For any questions (personal or whatever) you want me answer in my next podcast (hopefully), drop me a note here: yuri_marqueses@yahoo.com

Passenger Complain No. 8 - Is It Any Wonder?



...And I thought no one would ever notice but since Din-Din told me about this in my previous entry, If I may ask.. "Do I really look like John Lloyd Cruz???"

This is just too much. He is taking my "superficial" identity. Don't get me wrong, I am very much flattered by this so-called "compliment". But next time, please do say
HE looks like me not me resembling him. I have to be the standard (thank you Din-Din, I appreciate you telling your friend I'm waaaaaaaaaay better), the one to which all comparison is based on. *hyperventillating*

Remember guys, I am no second-rate, trying hard, copycat! No one is actually. Why am I dwelling over this shallowness? Nothing else to write about so i settled for this silliness It's like asking, would I rather be compared to John Llloyd or Bea Alonzo? My gosh... Well at least it's better than Diane calling me Chokoleit. That girl.... I miss you!

First podcast is coming SOON! Finally you'll get to hear the voice behind the smiles. Hahahaha

Passenger Complain No. 7 - I Wanna Go Home

This song is dedicated to me and to all of you stricken with homsickness:

Home
Michael Buble

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aerorplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

I know when the monsoon season is already starting in Manila. I will feel down together with rains and flashfloods. I miss Chise (my sis) and our midnight snacking together. My brother (Eumir) as we together piss the hell out my sister and my Mom our gossiping moments and out of town trips. I miss my honey and the things we usually do together. I need a break terribly. Yesterday I was sick. I was crying bucket full of tears the entire day. For now, I only have my trusty laptop and blogger friends to keep me company. I know better days will come soon, I know all things shall come to pass. God help me smile again.


---------------------------------------------- please cut here ---------------------------------------------

Chapter 2.2 - Lavatory Grooming

Writer's note: For whatever purpose this may serve, Everything written here are only the opinions and insights of the blogger. He represents no one but himself. Thanks.

Here's a video by Daniel Cirera that got me singing. Very Eamon-ish Fuck You song dedicated to all you bastards/bitches out there.




As my purser often tells us, grooming isn't only about how we touch ourselves up every now and then, nor how we stand and present ourselves to the passengers but also the way cabin cleanliness should be meticulously checked and properly maintained throughout the flight. What people don't know, behind all the glamour are plastic gloves, nauseating disinfectants and lemon air freshners. Yes, after we close the doors, everything is on us. From medical cases to cleaning up the mess you made in the lavatory.

In this time and age, I can't help but be fascinated still that some people have yet to learn "toilet courtesy". It's not like they just invented toilet sinks and bowls yesterday nor is it totally different from those which you have in your respective houses. The same mechanism to apply. You piss/shit, you wipe your ass, flush it, wash your hands and wipe the basin. It's so elementary yet some people still needs to be addressed about this. Well for your sake and ours as well, here are some pointers for review and practical use the next time you board an airplane.

Photo taken from: ACME-Nollmeyer
  1. Never try to tamper the smoke detector. Aside from the penalty and cancellation of your next trip, you can be subjected to skinning without anesthesia imprisonment in case fire should happen due to your smoking addiction (in case we all survive). If you can't manage, drug yourself up or better yet chew it.
  2. Please lock the lavatory door to avoid such inconveniences like us seeing your doodle.
  3. Don't dump the tissues or whatever in the toilet bowl. The flushing is obstructed thus, WE have to unclog it! Waste bins are clearly marked and it's there to serve its purpose.
  4. Doesn't matter if you leave skid marks, but please don't you forget to flush it.
  5. Phlegms are for tissues not a basin ornament. Spread love not germs especially on a "tubed" environment.
  6. Never walk barefoot in the lavatory. I can't assure you it's 100% microbe free. I'm not even sure if it's water you're stepping at.
  7. Wipe the basin after use. Again, you are reminded. There's even a note that says: "As courtesy to the next passenger, please wipe the basin after use." So please, WIPE THE BASIN AFTER YOU USE IT.
  8. As aircraft toilets are unisex, guys, please be considerate of the ladies. Put the toilet seat up then do your thing. Also, make sure you hit the spot and don't hose it to wherever.
  9. If you want to use premium class toilets, buy a premium class ticket. Don't start bitching about the queue behind is a mile long. These things are paid for thus, premium class passengers need not suffer from the pains of holding their bladders. They're privileged.
  10. For whatever reason, please, do ask your friendly flight attendants in case you need assistance. We don't judge people, in fact we do appreciate it much MUCH more. thank you.
