Pura vida! Ticolandia is called by all costarican people (Los Ticos), means our own country COSTA RICA! However, we name it in diferent ways such as, La Tiquicia, Ticolandia. Because we are TICOS!!! Oh eh oh eh oh eh oh eh...ticos ticos~~~hahahaha this is so funny! So us! I am very proud of being costarican, our unique identity, our uncomparable tradition. I always recommend my colleagues and friends to come to Costa Rica for tourism, as you can find different patern of joy spending your holiday, either going for mountain side or ocean area, you can always have a big time without enforcing it.
2 days left before going back to Dubai, i have started feeling nostalgic and wish i could stay longer, though i have JED and DEL flights right after my leave and having a hard time to swap it! On the DEL flight i will be the only male crew thus a big barrier to swap flights or days off, because i can only swap with male crew!!! what a rule~anyway, this is flight attendant's life. I cant wait to get over these turn arounds and go to Vienna at the end of month for a short break! Seriously, i am tired of this pathetic roster! Please give me a nice one next time okay! (Voice up! Like me, hard working crew with stunning performance, doesnt deserve this kind of roster!) Ahhhhhhhhhh~~~~~

Going home for 8 days! My b'day is coming up~
Surprisely, i managed to swap my bombai flight for 2 days off so make my leave a bit longer though. People ask me how i swapped it? well...of course not free! Is my first time paying money to someone to do the flight for me! So actually after the second day SEP recurrent exam i am flying back home in the midnight. This time i purchased zed ticket with LH (Lufthansa), really looking forward to experience their service and hopefully get upgraded for busienss class~hehehe... My journey is routed thourgh Frankfurt and then down to Miamia, 5 hrs boring waiting, American Airline flight back to San Jose! Quite exciting this time, because my b'day is coming on the 21st~dont ask my age! LOL... let's have a big party then!
Now, updating the previous journey to cape town, south africa...
Finally did Cape Town flight on the 8th, but wondering why they way back the entire passenger profile changed completely, full of indian people and 154 special meals requests, all of them in group and without any previous notice to our cabin crew, they swapped their seats as crazy, therefore caused a big delay on delivering our special meals and also delaying the normal meal delivery...wondering why there are so many people like swapping seats and love standing in the aisle during boarding phase...dont they see more passengers are coming through the cabin with big luggages? and most of them pass up and down of the aisle just trying to swap seats among. Seriously, we had a hard time on the way back...with 2 hot meal services, again never seen that much special meals before, i think we should introduce either hindu meal or asian vegetarian meal on certain high demand routes not only for indian flights...anyway this is all about the drame i had on this 9 hrs flight to South Africa~
As now it is winter time in the south ephemeral, the temperature was quite nice around 15 degrees, and blue sky, the only place i went to was the water front harbour, having a great food and local wine! short stay in cape town not much can do, last time i already did the sightseeing thing, so i didnt want to go out with rest of the new crew for touristing. Had a great manicure session close to hotel, was the first time i got all my nails polished! look really nice and healthy!

Got 3 turn arounds and 1 long layover ONLY!!! what the hell is going with reserve month! really not equally distributed the flights to people, some got rosters some didnt like me and having shit turn arounds. my performance is always good but why i deserve this kind of shit roster? this is really not nice at all~
3 turn arounds are: AMD india, DAC bangladesh, and MAA india...lol full of india and long turn arounds...
1 long layover is BKK SYD, 8 days trip to Thailand and Sydney Australia...well i cant complain about it, i love both cities and during this lovely trip i was the galley operator throughout the flight~flew with 4 very junior crew was a bit challenging and the other two never took galley before so i too initiative to manage the galley for the 6 sectors flight...was the first time taking galley for such a long journey, but was a nice experience plus nice performance report was arised too hehehehe...
