Today marks my 2nd year anniversary in Etihad! Thus, my return in the cyber world. Yes, I do check my e-mail everyday, I check my Facebook, my Friendster and all other social network but unfortunately, I have failed to update my blog.
It has been a year since I have last shared my experiences in flying and in general, my life. And now, I don't even know how to begin.
Well, I've been promoted to work in business and first class cabins. It's so much better than working in Economy. It's a bit more stressful because I have to make sure that all my guests are happy. But then again, it's better than handling hundreds of people. I like it because it is more personal, you can actually have a good conversation with the passengers. So far, I have not had a problem with premium cabin guests, which is good.
I've flown to more destinations. Let's see: New York, Brussels, Dublin, Melbourne, Milan and a few more I don't remember. I've flown to New York several times. I even had the chance to attend a friend's wedding. I'm happy to announce that we will start flying to Chicago on September, which means I have a good chance of seeing my cousins there. =)
There's only 2 layovers I have not done with Etihad, Bejing and Casablanca. One of which I will be doing tomorrow, Casablanca.
I've had 2 vacation leaves since my last blog. I spent half of my first vacation leave in Los Angeles and the other half in the Philippines. And on the second one I just decided to spend it all with my family in the Philippines, in my province with my beautiful and handsome nieces and nephew.
Unfortunately, I have stopped taking beautiful photos. Not totally, but I only have a few good shots these days.
I have come to enjoy the partying here in Abu Dhabi but it only lasted for a few months. Now, I'm back being a home buddy especially that I have my own TV and PS3 in my room. *grin* I still occasionally drink with my friends but only in our apartments. I got tired of all the clubbing.
I cut my hair really short! After a decade of having a long hair, I suddenly felt bored with it. So, I decided to chop it off. Plus the fact that I always get lazy to put it on a bun for a flight. Now, I just have to wash and blow dry and viola, good to go!
My parents came to visit me here. But it was only for a few days. We went to Dubai, Grand Mosque and went to a dinner buffet Shujah Yacht Cruise. They'll most probably go back here on October-November to watch F1 Grand Prix. I got my dad and myself tickets already. =) As for my mom, she'll like the shopping. Ahihihi.
As for those who are asking how to apply, you can send your resume/CV at www.etihadairways.com Currently, Etihad has stopped hiring in Asian countries. They are more focused on hiring eastern europeans and arabic speakers. But I'm pretty sure they will start hiring all nationalities again soon. I guess, they are just trying to balance crew members nationalities especially that we have opened new destinations such as Athens and Istanbul. Best of luck for those who are applying!
So, what else? I think that's about it. So, thanks for visiting my blog! I'll try my best to update it more often.
