What is bangag. Kagigising ko lang. Ang hirap ng papalit palit ang schedule. I barely slept yesterday. Have you ever been to a state when you were both hungry and sleepy and you wouldnt think twice on choosing sleep? That was me yesterday. Buti nalang isa lang yung mabigat ko na flight. It was a flight going to Incheon,Seoul. Grabe ang kukulit ng mga koreno, first boarding call, nagshoshopping pa sila sa duty free. Kahit yung mga nasa harap mo na naka upo lang dun sa labas ng gate ayaw pumasok. Di uso sa kanila ang urgency, pagdating ng final call...kaboom! dun sila nagdadagsaan sa harap mo na parang huhupa-hupa pa sa pagod sa kakatakbo papuntang gate. Eh kaya nga may fist call dibarn?! para alam mong bo-board na kayo?! ang sarap pag babatukan isa-isa. At eto pa! puro lasing! Talagang ang balak ay matulog sa flight nila, namumula yung mga mata at mukha na gegewang gewang! Tapos, edi nasa loob na sila ng gate, nag announce na ako na magboard na sa plane and mga may families and first and business class, aba! nakahilata parin dun! kelangan mo pang pasukan sa loob at paalisin isa isa! hagardo versoza! ugh! At eto pa! basahin niyo:

Isang araw,nag usap ang lasing at puyat...

Rakel: Sir, you have to board the aircraft now, are you waiting for somebody?

Makulit na koreano: yes.

Rakel: Who?

Makulit na koreano: My Luggage.

Rakel: Sir, your luggage will be claimed in Korea.

Makulit na koreano: Ah....My daughter is there.

Rakel: In you luggage?!

Makulit na koreano: In Korea.

Rakel: di alam kung maiinis o tatawa. Obviously, tumawa nalang ako ng malakas. hahahaha! laughtrip.Nawala antok ko dun.

So I arrived at the airport 1 hour before my shift (di kasi ako excited) and logged in. Buti nalang dumating yung new found Bahraini friend ko na si Aqeel. We chatted until it was time to report to the counters. What I learned about working in different counters being assigned to you flight after flight is that you see yourself not worrying about whether or not you'll mess up during boarding, unfortunately, you see yourself praying for a good Gate Team Leader instead. By good I mean someone who will at least smile at you. Him/her joking with you would be asking for a little bit too much. Anyway, para mabinyagan yung first day ko...tadaaa! nagkaroon ako! Naramdaman kong sumakit yung puson ko at ayun na! Sumakit na sha the whole day that I had to chug down a ponstan 500 every 3 hours! Ang hirap ngumiti ang hirap maging mabilis sa trabaho...basta mahirap gumalaw! So I couldnt wait for my shift to end and finally rest and sleep the pain off after my first flight on my first day. haaaay. Well, I feel better now and my shift starts at 8pm which means I have lots of time to sleep. Maybe yesterday happened to make my official work day really memorable hahahhaa!

Its my first day as a non-tainee employee today. I'm supposed to start work at 1:00PM and end it at 11:00PM. Nakakatuwa ang roster type na shift schedule, wala kang fixed na schedule. Just to go work 4 times then take 2 days off and work 4 days again regardless of the days they fall under. Kung sa pinas you makakapag plano ka ng get together or gimmik or family gatherings every weekend, dito hindi dahil paiba iba ang araw ng days off mo. Iba iba din ang araw ng simba! heheheh

I do boarding and arrivals for an Airline here in Dubai. Nakakatuwa ha at first pero haggard na katagalan. If you can't psych yourself you be happy and enjoy your everyday life at the airport, hindi ka talaga tatagal. Everything immaginable is at the airport, people of all colors, races and characters and "scents" need you everyday. Wala kang makikitang batang gusgusin and uhugin! lahat sila cute! walang batang panget! I'll make sure to take some photos of the airport today to show you guys.:) Adios for now! Wish me luck! :) xoxo

Ito na yata ang lugar na may piiiiiinaka maraming buhok! hehehe To my friends back home---miss you soooo much!..and to the new ones here, my hats off to you, looking forward to tons of adventures with y'all! Good vibes to everyone and God Bless! xoxo
