July 11 別理他很久以前看的爛片，就是那種不會想看第2次，但是cable三不五時就會播的小成本爛片。故事有關魔術師梅林，還有一大堆好妖怪和壞妖怪；反正就是要證明正義獲得最終勝利的那種老掉牙故事。內容早就記不大得了，好像有一隻會噴火的龍飛來飛去，還會說話。整個故事就是長得很醜的壞妖怪整得大家死去活來、水身火熱。最後的結局（爛到大概只有那1分鐘的內容終於有點發人深省...）是梅林終於想起來，原來壞妖怪是靠著大家深入腦海的恐懼得以日益壯大。所以，他告訴壞妖怪，你利用大家的恐懼，是因為你的存在。當你不再存在，你就再也無法影響大家了。於是，所有的人轉身背對壞妖怪。不顧壞妖怪尖叫乞求，將他遺忘，壞妖怪無法再對人類造成影響，漸漸的，他就消逝在空氣中了。
Be strong, be fearless!
壞妖怪退散！！ December 22 只要多一點今天在健身房發生一件好可怕的事情，到現在還希望那個女生現在一切安好。
事情的經過是這樣：我們的健身房教室裡都會放置各種有氧課程相關的器材，包括階梯踏板、槓鈴、瑜珈墊...等等。所有的器材都是由學員各自取用，用後自行歸位。其中階梯踏板是大家自己一正一反，一塊塊的疊起來的。但是因為每塊踏板間常常並不是堆得很正，所以如果疊太高時，重心就會不穩。之前在上一堂拉丁有時就曾經目睹整疊階梯踏板滑落的恐怖事件。還好因為大家都是站著，所以可能來得及反應閃開，沒發生啥傷亡慘劇。沒想到，今天上雕塑，被階梯動作操得想死之後，大家把踏板歸位，拉出瑜珈墊做地板動作繼續操。這時聽到一聲哄然巨響，整落踏板就應聲再度滑落。不幸一個女生剛巧就在滑落路徑上，而且是頭部正對滑落的踏板，當場被擊中，腫了一個大包。這時，就看出健身中心對於安全的應變能力明顯不足。首先，沒人了解正確的急救方式，也沒想到應該立刻求助醫療專業。對於頭部這樣的重擊，似乎警覺性不足，看看休息一下，人還坐得起來就算了。明明那個女生不只撞得頭都腫起來了，還說連肩膀都痛，不知道頸椎有沒有受傷，竟然那女生要求繼續上下一堂的拉丁有氧，也沒人制止。換了衣服準備離開，想想怕出事，又折回去想勸她去看醫生，但是下一節的拉丁已經在上課，只看到那個女生夾在一群上課的學員中間不知是有點昏頭了，還是本來動作就比較生硬，但是又很ㄋㄠ的覺得還是不要多事，人家都已經在上課了說.....
真的很想說，健身中心實在應該要有改善這些危險擺置方式。另外駐店的醫療專業，能夠加速這樣意外的第一時間正確救護。就算目前沒有，人家都已經受傷了，也實在應該送醫，千萬不要想說看看...萬一事情大條了，再怎樣反應，恐怕都不如事前的預防啊！ December 14 好書分享 -The Responsibility Virus 快樂負責學Guys,
If you have major bad time in working with incapable or irresponsible people, you should take a look at the book "The Responsibility Virus".
If you have a terrible boss who always does your job and makes decision for you, you have to read the book "The Responsibility Virus".
Stop trying to be the tragic hero. It is about team work! February 06 Palawan - Manila, again, screwed up the flightThe Manila domestic airport must be cursed. Again, the flight to Puerto Princesa is screwed up. Thought it should be smooth this time, flight, hotels.... everything has been confirmed at home thru internet. Therefore I did a big city advanture in SM of Asia, a pair of high heel killed me with the sexy look, will definitely come back for her on the way home. The bay walk was romantic, the bands of seaside restuarants are fantastic. Was tired but satisfied. Things went wrong on the 2nd day of the trip, again. Suppose to take 8.15 am flight. Woke up at 6 am, finished all morning routine within 50 min, including a breakfast. Rushed into the street, grabbed a taxi, then things got ugly......traped in traffic. We were there about 15 min without moving too much. Asking the driver if the airport is walking distance is also tried. Finally, we were out of the traffic, got thru the security check as soon as I could. Lined up after 2 white guys, thinking that I passed and it was when the staff in Cebu Pacific Airline told me the bad news. Mam, we are closed 45 min before the flight take off. Please re-book the ticket at our office next door, there is a flight at 2 pm this afternoon......OMG~~~~~~~~~~I don't want to pay for stupid extra money!! Could you try something? Is there any other way that I can still get on the flight?......Finally, I was forced to face the reallity. I have to go for next flight, and your altitude is really bad, you suppose to help, that's what I didn't say to him. Going to next door means that I have to get out of the airport thru another door with a safe guard. If I want to come in again, it's the door with security check. Anyway, went to the airline office, get in, the guard (there are guard everywhere in Philippines), gave me a number, #36, at least 10 people are waiting in front of me. Sat down, looking at the e-ticket, suddenly saw the staff at the check in desk wrote "LCI am 7.32". Ok, if "LCI" stands for "Late Check In", then I was only 2 min late. It doesn't make any sense. a. they can't prove that they are using standard time in their system. b. if all the seats are sold, it means they over sold the seat as it's impossible to sell my seat in 2 min window. Anyway, it was a long Q in front of me, maybe I should go back to the check in desk and negotiate. Passed the security check again, try to remember who was the staff served me...no clue at all. So randomly picked one, told him the story. The only thing lied to him is that I tried to buy a ticket at their office next door, but the lady told me to come back to talk to them again...trying to make them feeling guilty and confused about their procedure with challenge from their internal....:-P That worked. Just after 30 or 40 min of negotiation, I found one thing. the guy I talked to is not in high authority level. But I smelled the chance to get my seat back, FOR FREE! Tryied not to be angry, I asked for the manager. It was another 10 min before her showed up. I could see the guy I talked to was very nervous and talked to his colleagues about the situation. Finally, the manager showed up, I repeated the stories, emphasized again that there is an error on their procedure, they need to fix it for future business...blah blah blah....and miracle happened, I got my seat!! Although it is 2 pm flight, at least I don't need to pay! So now I only need to worry what to do between this huge stupid window that appears unexpectedly. Well, I can check if I have extra luck to get the flight from Puerto Princesa to El Nido. I knew that I probably need to take a whole day bus, just why not give it a try. Got out of the airport thru the guard saw me 2nd time, entertained him with my miserable story, then went to SEAir office. No good news, there is no flight on the day I plan to travel, but the nice lady at the desk helped to call the hotel for my delayed schedule to pick me up at the airport.....Then all thing I could do is to kill time. Went back to the small complex shop (there are a bakery, a internet shop and even a money exchanger in one tiny space that you could barely turn) that I visited when I screwed up the flight last time. They remember me. Entertained them with my sad story again, got internet, write down this story. Enjoy, my friends! BoracayDay 2 - EXCITEMENT
The room I had is not too good. The noise of the bars and the aircon was really bad for sleeping. 5 am in the morning I gave up and decided to go to domestic airport for an earlier flight. The only thing I booked was the international flight to Manila. I trust I could get the flight to Boracay at the airport and randomly find a hotel with reasonable price. It was a mistake not booking the domestic flight through internet. The earliest flight with acceptable price is 13.30. And the price was more expensive then what I can have from internet. The kind staff at the desk helped me to book the flight first and suggested me to look for other resolution. If I failed, i could go back and take the flight he helped me to book. He's right. I tried another airline, it is even 2 times more expensive than the 1st airline. What now? Anyway, I already have a seat, maybe breakfast first. With more blood sugar, my brain started to work. According to the staff in the restuarant, there is an internet shop within 10 min walk distance. I decided to take a taxi because of my luggages. Again, when I arrived the internet shop, I have to wait for another 30 min (it was actually another 30 after the time to open), because it was not business time yet. 30 min work in internet shop, I got the cheap internet price for return flight, print it out 17 pesos, I felt so satisfied with my achievement. Of course, I took the picture of the little shop (it is REALLY small), and the street in front of it. I have to say, it is not a picture of modern area.
Then I returned to the airline office, a big thank to the staff there, had my outbound flight ticket, checked in at the airport, start another 3hr wait. I said "don't ask" when the staff at the check in desk wide open her eyes with my departure time. That's ok, I had a great massage, by this blind massagist.
You know what? It turns out not so difficult to travel alone. I thought that I might be stuck in Manila or had to sleep on Boracay beach and be arrested by the cop there. Filippino are actually friendly, even they always tries to make money from you. With trust, I left one of my luggage at the 1st hotel that is too expensive to my budget and looked for another. And it was it, I got what I needed, didn't have to sleep on the beach!
Day 3 - Time is to be wasted for good stuff
Many people I met in this trip asked my trip plan. I always looked at them for 2 seconds and said "waste time". Exactly, no rush, nothing serious, just lie on the beach for whole day is exactly what I planed. See, I got white soft sand and transparent blue water, I don't know what else could be my priority, if this weren't.
Day 4 - Bikini shopping, Mt Luho, Fairways & Bluewater
I got this sexy bikini bought from Bali. It enhances the advantages of my body figure. However, it is really bad to my neck circulation by tying behind my neck. I got serious bad headache last evening and even trew up that I already started to think of my contigency plan if things went ugly. Anyway, the first thing on day 4 morning is to shop for a bikini not tying behind my neck. It was great, got one for 250 pesos. Now I have 3 bikini (left one in my house)!
The trip to Mt Luho was originally planned with a motor tricycle. But the guys on the steet told me that they don't accept single for the ride. My choice is to go with a motor bike....Why not? Let's do it! Mt Luho and Fairways & Bluewater are great. However, I need to write more about the motor bike driver. We made a deal to pay hime 60 pesos to Mt Luho. When we arrived, he said that he would charge me more for waiting. I don't know how long does it take at this view point, therefore I negotiated for a package by paying 150 pesos to cover my whole day plan: Mt Luho + Fairways & Bluewater + Phuka Shell Beach. I had the feeling that I have already promised for much higher price than usual. He accepted, so I spent 20 min in Mt Luho (it is just a hill with a bay watch stage, was good, just would never take you too long). Then we went to Fairways & Bluewater. It is actually a golf resort, so I had to take the resort shuttle bus to go down to the seaside from the front door. The resort and the beach it has is pretty good, so I spent longer time (30 to 1 hour) this time. It was too hot, so I couldn't do it longer. When I got out, interesting thing started. The driver was angry about waiting for too long. I felt funny that how could him expect that I could do the in-and-out sightseeing being a tourist hungry for a great view?! I don't know if he misunderstand me with the part that I wanted to go to Phuka Shell Beach or just played dead, anyway, I was sent back to D'mall, where we started. I tried very hard to play safe between not over paying the driver anything and or being beaten up because the driver looked really unhappy. I guess I was not that convincing about the service worth only 120 pesos. So I still paid 150 pesos, end of story. It's ok that I didn't make it Phuka Shell Beach. I could go tomorrow during island hoping. I've lost my appetite anyway, and I have had enough fun today. December 28 Manila, something funny on day 1Something funny with the sense of direction of Manila people. Within 15 min walk area, everyone has twisted map in the head. The taxi driver and I took 30 min on the same street to look for my hotel, Malate penssionne. Looking at the increasing number in taxi meter, I didn't want to jump off the taxi to walk with my luggage, tho it's not big. It finally came to my mind that I had the notes from internet, it says that the hotel is next to a Starbucks....it's how we find it, wierd.
After checking in, time for dinner. I recalled that Robbinson's is not too far, we passed it when we tried to dig the hotel out. But I need some help to make sure the direction is correct. Unfortunately, 3 people I checked at the hotel reception gave me 3 different direction, including an enthusiastic boy walking out with me to show me the way in the street. My instinct alarmed noisily not being misled by this innocent face. Ha! Go straight down the street and turn right, not turn left immediately! December 26 happiness - BoracayOf course I deserve a good life. 3 days has passed, smiles still pop. Sinking in the paradise for a week, it all comes back to me how much I should cherish in life. Swimming in light blue water, lying on the white sand, warm smiles, relaxing time at the bar, drunk giggles and being hold gently in those dreams. Well, I've forgotten them too long. They are now slowly coming back. I sware to put my every effort to come closer to my desire. I am not afraid of losing, just can't help crying for how little time left. Go for it, Diane!! September 13 Who are you?The miss call light is flashing again. Who are you? The message is passionate but a number. Is it today or years ago? What have I missed? May 24 MemoryFinally you come back to my dream. In the dream, the tail tells me that you are in good mood. It was a beautiful day there.
Can't believe that I missed you so much. Looking at your pictures, my tears burst. Where are you now? Pidang? Are you doing well? Wherever you are, I hope you are taken care well.
I miss you so much........ |
