I'm back!

It's been 5 days since I got back... and I guess I was just too lazy to update. :D

We left Bratislava at 5:20 am, I had to shift 2 kilos from my luggage to my hand carry at check-in, but I'm thankful that the lady at the check-in counter wasn't rude or anything... she was almost apologetic that she had to make me unload some of my stuff. It was a bit turbulent, but nothing too scary... we arrived in Prague by 6:30... we had more than three hours to kill before our flight to Frankfurt, and we just spent it waiting around at the gate.

Forty minutes before leaving, we found out that we had to get boarding passes issued from the transfer desk before boarding! So we ran like crazy to the transfer desk, and when we got there, they processed the request, and the printer jammed! Minute after precious minute passed... I was scared we might miss the boarding... Imagine, we were doing nothing for 3 hours and then now we had to rush like crazy. Thankfully, the people at the transfer desk were very efficient, and they handed us our boarding passes upto Manila with minutes to spare.

The layover in Frankfurt was very short, we were there a total of one hour max. And soon we were flying off to Singapore. I settled in for a nice, long flight, but there was so much turbulence, they had to suspend cabin services. Really, it's never a good time to hear the pilot say "Ladies and gentlemen...it's worse than I thought..." hehe. But we got to Singapore in one piece after 12 hours.

Then, in Singapore, Maitz picked me up and we took the train to the city. She took me to Suntec, and I was able to make a wish on the Fountain of Wealth... great timing since the bigger fountain was closed. :) We didn't do much, coz I was carrying a really heavy laptop and my handcarry. So, we just strolled a bit (shops were still closed) and had lunch... I only had 3 hours to spend with Maitz, but maybe next time it'll be longer... like days longer... :)

Anyway, I've kept myself busy tending to my vanity. :) I got my hair cut last Friday, I'm now sporting a chin length bob. Then I had a facial, and a manicure and pedicure. I would have loved to fit in a massage schedule there somewhere but I didn't have the time. On Sunday, I took my family out for some fresh seafood at Seaside... I missed seafood so much! Crabs and shrimps are so delicious!

Then Jeng filed for VL, and we went to MOA... I helped her run some errands (although I don't consider picking out clothes as errands), and we watched Beowulf on IMAX! For some reason... I found it really violent... for a CGI flick... :)

And now, first day back at work... and I completed about 1/10 of what I wanted to finish for the day... I have no one to blame but myself, I'm really not feeling up to working yet, but I know tomorrow will be a more productive day.
