Life in the sandpit

In sickness and in health and some other things in between.

Posted on March 31, 2013 by Pinay Flying High • 6 Comments

I’ve been sick for the past 5 days now. It started with a feverish feeling on Wednesday afternoon and then it continued on until today. Thankfully though the fever is gone and I am now nursing a dry cough and colds. One good thing about it though, my voice sounds sexy. The weather is changing … Continue reading »

The Consulate General of Peru hosted its first ever Taste of Peru Festival in Dubai.

Workload is sh*tload!

Posted on March 17, 2013 by Pinay Flying High • 1 Comment

It’s not even the peak season yet but work is upto my eyeballs these days. Last Saturday, we’ve had 40 passengers in our office and we were only 3 at the counter. An average package consultation can last for about 15 minutes to an hour or so. When the day ended and the doors were … Continue reading »

Taste of Dubai 2013

I was in Taste of Dubai yesterday with Nada of Undefined Declarations. An event which I have planned not to attend because of my extreme need of having a lazy Friday since the upcoming 2 weeks will be a 6-day work week for us. After much deliberation and a little bit of that guilty feeling … Continue reading »

The longest airport transfer, ever.

Posted on March 13, 2013 by Pinay Flying High • 5 Comments

So a passenger of mine earlier was being stingy and would like to take a flight going to New York even if his destination is Los Angeles, because the flights are cheaper to New York during the time of his travel. He then asked me if I can arrange an airport transfer for him from … Continue reading »

Armed with the above Cobone voucher, the boyfriend and I went to Nelson’s for their Friday Brunch. We’ve always loved the place so we figured why not try out their brunch as well? We arrived at exactly 12nn and they have literally opened their doors for us and we were the first customers in. It’s … Continue reading »

Catching up at Miyabi Sushi and Bento

Posted on March 9, 2013 by Pinay Flying High • 2 Comments

My friends and I need to have our Japanese food fix for the month and since we’re getting a pretty good discount from Miyabi Sushi and Bento, it was a unanimous decision that we should satisfy our Jap-craving there. It’s located beside the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Sheikh Zayed right behind UAE Exchange. … Continue reading »

Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship Inspection

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Pinay Flying High • Leave a comment

As a part of our job, we usually get invited by any travel-related companies to showcase what they have to offer. My very first site inspection was in Maldives, visiting 10 resorts in a span of 5 days. Now that one was really tiring and we were unable to enjoy the beauty of the place … Continue reading »

So my search for a good dance class is over, FINALLY! As many of you know, I made myself my own guinea pig to try out different dance schools around Dubai which offers ballet classes for adults. There were a lot of mishaps along the way and when I ran out of options for ballet … Continue reading »
