FLYING VIA KLM

Monday, September 21, 2009
Bonjour!
We left Manila last Friday via KLM and I tell you, it was again an unforgettable experience.
Lolo and I fight (more on argued) kasi overluggage ako.
I suggested, he can leave his summer clothes....
He suggested why not i leave mine????

Pano ba naman, panay bili ko, yung 8 japanese plates, bigat, me 20 pcs na sinigang powder, meron pa ginisang magic sarap, damit, bags,meron pa galing bacolod delicacies Mascovado et al !!!!

What i did, nung tulog na siya, singit ko nga sa luggage niya, hahahaha!

We took a taxi from Antipolo, to the airport, for 420php!
Before we paid fixed FX for 1500 php.
We didnt hesitate to hand 250php add on to the driver.
He was delighted as much as we did.
Early xmas daw!

Then we went for scanning, paid my travel tax for 200php and went to klm booth.
42 kilos daw, sabi ni stew, for two, okey na lng, because yung nauna nga overluggage daw ng 30kls, ok lng.
Konti daw passengers today.
Swerte namin ni Lolo.

Noon, 14 Kls over namin, 500€ daw ibayad namin, Emirates yun ha!
Lolo answered, Miss, Im flying with emirates, Im not buying the plane.
So we put the excess sa cabin luggage, she let us board.
Ganun din yun ah!

Lesson na lng kasi.
Kung uuwi ng Pinas, dont bring clothes, tyak kasi, mamimili ka ng bagong damit...
Nadoble pa tuloy bitbitin, awayin pa si steward, hehehe.


We went to Gate 12. I still have 600 php left!
What I did, i bought Philippine carabao mangoes!
Mas okey pa pala dun bili, kasi naka box na, hindi
siya lamog when in France!















The service of KLM is very nice. We got three meals almost of our 13 hours trip.
Non stop yung drinks!

I mostly sleep i got two seats, hehe.
Sige, hilata!!!

We arrived in Amsterdam Schipol Airport mostly, filipinos, because from manila KLM hosted almost 600 seats!!!

Merong seamen, merong katulad ko, merong mga group tour!

When at the booth, yung isang seaman, duda pa yung immigration, kasi, naka basketball uniform and sandals, feeling at home.

Immigration: "Your visa?"
Inabot ni kabayan, tatlong dikit na passport.
Immigration: "Ah you are a seaman, lets see if you got a seaman visa..."
Tagal silip ng passport, nauna na ako sa kabilang booth.

Meron naman pinay, yung alagang pusa inuwi sa Pinas, binalik din, sa Norway, nag melt yung lady immigration, kyut kyut daw.

Meron naman, confiscated yung mineral water galing airline, inuwi???!!
Pinainom na lang sa kanya.

Si Lolo, strip tease, ng belt, relo, susi, pati daw ba gold teeth?

Ako, open lang laptop, oks na. Yung box ng manga ni hindi na pinansin...

Then yung seaman, nakalusot!!!! Matagal din siya sa booth ha....

Kasi ba naman, kung babyahe, wag naman, ala Jaworski ang suot, kakaduda naman yan, naka sandals pa!
Kala niya sa sarili niya, judas escariot? hahaha


Gate 7 daw yun plane namin to Nice France.
Nakaboard na kami, pwesto na, hintay na lang ng lipad, nag announce si Pilot!!!

Change plane daw kami, kasi ayun sa control technician, di pwede lipad.Kulang ata sa turnilyo????
Sus baba lahat ng pasahero, nasa 150 kami.

Late tuloy lipad namin to Nice, then instead na ten thirty nasa Nice na kami, inabot ng 12midnight!
Wala na public bus, na one euro fare, taxi kami, mahal, 40euros!!!!

Meron pa isang Pinay, walang alam, sinabay na namin we dropped her sa hotel sa tren station.
Share siya 20€ kumita ng 60€ si taxi driver, 15 minutes drive lang!!!!

Meron pa drama yang pag kuha ng taxi!

Nagagalet si lolo, kasi bagal ng nego ng ibang pasahero sa driver, yun pala, nag hahanap ng makashare, si tourists para
tipid, eh sa sampung pasahero, iba iba destination, imagine ang haba ng hintay namin kelan sila mag kasundo ng driver to go in sa taxi!!!!

Si Lolo, punta sa one taxi driver para unahin na kami, mga tourists, sumisigaw ng WAAAIIIIITTTTT!!!
Si lolo nakatatlong balik sa pila kasi ayaw pasingit, bagal bagal naman nila mag decide, ten taxis na ang waiting!!!!!
Lakas pa ng ulan, me kidlat at kulog pa!

Anyway, dumting kami ng bahay, ala una ng umaga, basa ng ulan!
Lamig pa, kaya me sore throat ang Lola, until now!!!

Ligpit luggage, until 2 AM
Tulog 3AM
Gising 3PM 12hours sleep pala kami!!!!

Today , Monday, serious na
I sent CVs by email sa mga possible employers. Sa Manila pa lang ako, inaabangan na pala ang uwi ko!

Went to the bank, to deposit govt checks , tulong financial, out of work kc ako.
Ganun dito, if an employee lost her job, 80% ng montly salary, bibigay ng govt until you find another work.
Minsan, why work if govt feed you, heheheh.

But I will work, yoko stay sa bahay, tataba ako.

Just a while ago, me email ako na received!

Last month pa raw nila nakita yung ads ko via internet, kung nakabalik na raw ako mula bakasyun, pwede daw ba ako ma interview????
Monaco daw sila naka base, at gusto pilipina ang nanny ng one month old nila, princesa yung nanay!!!!!

Go ako agad, bah, malay makuha ko work!

eto pa; Si Secretary, nag message sa akin, saan daw nakalagay yung unan na fur, hinahanap ni madame!
Malay ko!!!
Ask nila new housekeeper nila noh!

Samutsari na itong stories ko.
If bored na kayo, daanin nyo na lang sa kape or tulog...
