Perth Layover I & II

Hello everyone!!!

First of all thanks to everyone who came out last wednesday night!!! It was great to see you all there! But yes, Im sorry people for taking so long with this update, but my last tow weeks were quite busy. With two flights to Perth and one turnaround to Damascus, which I was 1/2 hour late for! :P
Well let me start telling you about this funny day. I had a Damascus flight at 2pm, with pick up at 11:50am, but the silly head here miscalculated the pick up time and only went downstairs 12:30!!! After a good 15 mins, assuming that I was early! Hehehe...A girl asked me where I was off to, when I told her it was Damascus she said: "OMG! You are so late!!!" All of a sudden I was in panic! "What should I do?" I asked. "Go back to my room and cry?" hehehe...Then she told me to call Crew Schedulling and tell then that I missed my pick up, but that I was on my way by taxi. I did that and they told me to try and speak to the Crew Controler once I get there. Well, due to my dear Murphy there was a traffic on the way to the Airport, so I arrived there 1/2 hour late! In training college they tell us that if you are 1 minute late, thats it. They will offload you! So I was ready to turn around and go home, but I had to try. I dont know if it was because of my panic or because I am new, she was so nice to me, and kept me on the flight!!! :) Phew what a day! hehehe
Two days later I had my first Perth flight. Of course I wouldnt be late for this flight for nothing in the world! So this time I calculated my pick up time 3 times! And still went downstairs 1/2h early! Hehehehe...The crew on this first flight was quite nice. There was this Indian girls who was quite funny and we had so much fun together. The flight was full, so no rest for us! :( And it is so looooong! 10 hours later we were landing, and Caio was almost falling asleep on the jumpseat. Anyway, it is always nice to come home, so I took a shower when I arrived at the hotel and seeing Raf in the Lobby woke me up! So nice to see you Micoso! :D Well, this first visit to perth I decided to keep a low profile. So Im sorry for not letting everyone know that I was in town, but I had to spend time with Raf. Im sure you all understand. :) We had dinner then we considered going for a drink, but I was falling asleep on the table, so we decided to go back to Duxton Hotel.
Next day we had room service breaky! Then went shopping in the city. Had lunch there then went to Kings Park for a few seconds, cos I couldnt stand the flies! Hehehe...Back to the Hotel, cos I had to nap for a few hours before my return flight. Had coffee in the Lobby with Ben and Glen and thats it. Off back to Dubai I was...
Then I had a few days off...Because it is Ramadan, there was no parties to go to. So I spent a lot of hours either by the pool at home, or by the pool in the Water Park! hehehehe...And thats how I spent my days off.
Then I had my second Perth flight! Again I made sure to be very early for my pick up! This time I tried to contact everyone who i knew I could manage to catch up within my 27 hours there. So yeah, had dinner with Raf then off to Connies with everyone! The crew on this second flight were so much fun hey. They were even coming out with me, but they all got too tired before 11pm, so next time! It was nice to see eveyone, but by 2am my eyes could not stay open anyomore, no matter how many Red bulls I had drunk, my tiredness was stronger than all of them together! So by 3am I was in bed. :S Woke up next day at 10:30am, went to Freo for breaky with extra pork bacon!!!!!! Yummmy!!! :P Tried to visit my Espy friends, but did not have much time, cos I had to rush back to the city where I had to meet my old friend Greg, from France! It had been more than 3 years since we last saw each other! And it was great to catch up with him again! After that I had to go back to the Hotel, to get ready for my return flight to Dubai. It was another short vist, but very nice! :)
Miss you all already...See you next month hopefully!!!!
Catchya!

Indian Party!!!

Hello people!

First of all I hope you all enjoy the pictures that I am posting this time. Hehe…What a cute Indian Boy I turned out to be!!! :P I wonder when I am going to wear this outfit again! But nway, this week was ok. Unfortunately I had to call in sick for my first London flight last Friday, cos I was really sick. L Then they gave me a Stand by duty on Saturday night, which means that you have to be prepared to get ready and leave to the airport in less than 1 hour. Normally the duty last for 12 hours,, so you basically sit there doing nothing, hoping to get a nice flight. I only got a turnaround to Amman, in Jordan, which was ok I guess. The flight wasn’t full and the rest of the crew was really nice. On Sunday night I went to have dinner at this nice Iranian Restaurant with some Brazilian guys, which was really nice, but I was really tired hey. Well during dinner we decided to have an Indian Party the following night at Karen’s place, this really nice Brazilian/Japanese girl.
We all went shopping for costumes the next day. Unbelievable how cheap they were! And didn’t do much until nighttime. The party wasn’t full, but it was so much fun! I danced Forro for the first time in ages!!! And got extremely drunk as usual. :P
Next day was recovery day of course. It was nice to spend some time with them though. It had been ages since I last spent the whole day speaking Portuguese. And they were all very nice people. J
Now I’m here, sitting at home doing nothing. Looking forward to my first layover on Friday. This time I will definitely go to London!!! Then Frankfurt on Wednesday, 19th and PERTH the following Wednesday, 26th!!! Yes I manage to get a flight home!!! So f***ing excited!!!
I better go now. Better write a quick update in Portuguese otherwise my family and friends in Brazil will kill me!!! :P

Take care guys.

Xoxo


Oi Galera!!!

Antes de mais nada, MIL DESCULPAS por ter relaxado um pouco e nao ter escrito em portugues, prometo que vou tentar nao fazer mais isso! :P
Bom, como voces jah devem saber, comecei a voar duas semanas atras! Minha escala esse mes esta bem legal, a principio era pra eu ter 3 voos pra Londres, um pra Frankfurt e 4 bate-voltas pra cidades aqui no Oriente Medio mesmo. Mas jah mudou tudo! Hehehe…Meu primeiro Londres eu nao pude fazer pq estava gripado, fiquei puto da vida, mas a saude e mais importante, e como sei que Londres e um voo facil de conseguir nem liguei. Acabai fazendo um bate-volta no dia seguinte pra compensar. E tambem troquei meu ultimo Londres do mes por um voo pra Perth!!! Estou muito empolgado pra ir pra casa! E uma pena que so ficarei la 27 horas, mas e melhor que nada.
Nossa gente, meu primeiro voo foi um voo pro Pakistao, com um passageiro mais fedido que o outro, mas deu uma do tao grande desse povo. Eles sao na maioria pedreiros que sao contratados por empresas aqui em Dubai e soh podem ir pra casa visitar a familia uma ves a cada 3 anos! Ou entao, sao pessoas que se mudaram pra Dubai muitos anos atras, e depois de velhos voltam pra casa pra morrer. So sei que sao tao humildes que ate marmita eles trazem pro voo e qualquer latinha de refrigerante que voce da, eles abrem um soriiso que parece ser Natal! L Eh de partir o coracao mesmo. Tem muito comissario aqui que reclama muito desses voos, e destratam muito os pobre coitados, mas puta que o pariu meu, esse povo passa a vida inteira trabalhando pra algum ricasso aqui a troca de quase nada, passam a vida servindo os outros, e pela primeira vez na vida tem alguem servindo eles! Soh sei que eu faco com gosto! Com uma puta boa vontade e satisfacao, que pelo menos se depender de mim, eles vao sempre receber o melhor atendimento da vida deles! Em todo voo a gente tem uma camera Polaroid pra tirar fotos das criancas no voo levarem de recordacao. Soh sei que tanto no voo de ida qto no voo de volta, eu peguei a camera e tirei foto de todo mundo!!! Foi muito legal!
Mas eh galera, eu estou AMANDO essa nova vida! Nem parece que eu estou trabalhando. Parece que estou de ferias constantimente!!! Todo comeco de mes a gnete tem que montar nossa escala, onde vc tem a oportunidade de pedir os voos que prefere fazer, mas claro nem sempre vc consegue extamente o que voce pediu. Mas tenho fe que vou coneguir coisa boa. Vou tentar pegar um Perth eh claro, um Bangkok/Sydney, um Malta e um Moscou. Espero que consiga pelo menos 3 deles!
Bom depois de amanha vou pra Londres com uma colega que se formou comigo. Jah temos o dia todo planejado. Como ela nunca foi pra Londres antes vou ter que leva-la pra ver uns pontos turisticos, mas depois vamos pra Balada com um amigo de perth que esta morando lah temporariamente.
Enfim, do resto vai tudo bem. Vou me mudar pra um outro ape ainda essa semana com um amigo meu Maltes. Nao vejo a hora de decorar meu quarto do geito que eu quero, porque no momento meu quarto parace quarto de hotel. L
Ate a proxima!!! Espero que gostem das fotos!!! :P

First Flights!!!

Hello Everyone!

Wow, I don’t even know how to start this update. So much has been happening since last weekend that I kinda lost track now! L Well, will try to start from the beginning.
Last Thursday night we went to this really cool dance party with two famous dj’s from the UK. Don’t ask me their names cos I have no clue! Hehehe…Nway, before we got to the party we went to some Maltese guys friends with Kevin for pre-drinks. It was pretty cool and by the time we decided to leave to the party we were all pretty pissed. J The party was awesome and the music even better! We met a lot of people that night and there was this Lebanese guy who invited all of us to another party on the following day, at his expenses! J
Got home after 3am that night. Straight to bed, cos the next day we were planning to go to the Water Park. Surprisingly we were not much hangover in the morning and along with Jennifer (France) and Aleksandar (Servia) Kevin and me made it to the park just before 1pm. It was great when we got there and realized that being Emirates Cabin Crew we only had to pay AED25!!! Equivalent to AUD$7.50!!!!!! Almost nothing hey, so we were quite happy even before we got in. When we got in…OMG!!! I thought I had seen ugly people in this world, but no! There were the ugliest people alive on this planet in that park, and to make it worse, they were all in swimming suits!!!!! Tripe Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! Hehehehe…Oh well, we were already in, and the rides were so much fun that we kinda ignored the view, and concentrated on the park itself!
After that I came quickly home. Took a shower, and it was already time to leave to another party! We (Jennifer, Kavita, Hamad and myself) went to that Lebanese guy’s place at around 10pm. Wow! His place was huge! Very nice apartment located on the main road of Dubai. Free alcohol and free food…I was happy but it was just the beginning!!!! From there we went to this other dance party in a very cool nightclub here in Dubai, a three storey massive nightclub indeed. The dj was from France and was playing the best hits ever!!! And to make it even better, the Lebanese guy, which btw has a name and is Ramzi, had a VIP table booked with his friends and brought all of us along! Free alcohol again! Now for more 3 hours accompanied by good music!
Unfortunately we are talking about Dubai, and the clubs here have to close at 3am. L However, when I thought it was over, they came up with an after party! At some dudes place God knew where. Since I was with my dear colleagues I decided to take a chance, and I didn’t regret! More alcohol and music for FREE until 5am!!!! HAPPY HAPPY VERY HAPPY INDEED! Hehehehe…Got home just after 5:30am…”Straight” to bed!
Next day, MASSIVE hangover! As expected I could not move, but not being able to talk wasn’t in my plans! L I had my first flight on the next day and didn’t want to be off loaded! Well, spent the whole day looking after myself. Taking pills and heaps of orange juice! For obvious reasons, didn’t do anything the whole day.
Sunday finally came. Had breakfast with Petra and Jennifer in my local café. And went home afterwards to prepare myself for my first flight!!! Got ready one hour before my pick up..hehehe...and was all ready to fly away! Got to the Crew Briefing Centre on time. Met the crew who I was gonna fly with, quite descent people I must say, but nothing spectacular! Nway, it was so weird to take off sitting on a jump seat for the very first time! I will never forget that feeling. J The flight to Karachi (Pakistan) was full. I felt so sorry for those people guys. They are mostly cheap laborers hired by constructions companies here in Dubai and they get paid to fly over here, and when their contract ends, they fly back for good. So most of them have only flown once in their lives, if not never, so whatever you give them, just makes their day! Its heartbreaker I tell you, but I guess the only thing I can do is to give them the best I can. It shits me all this spoilt crew who take their jobs and their lifestyle for granted and just complain about them! Fuck it doesn’t hurt to be nice to them. There was this girl literally shouting at this poor Pakistani guy who couldn’t understand English just because he was in the wrong seat! I almost started shouting at her! Arrrrrrggghhhh! Stupid girl! Nway…on the flight back to Dubai it was quite easy as we were not as full. But you know what, training is one thing, but the real life, the job is completely different! Well, the return flight was delayed, so I only got home 2am…Very tired! “Straight” to bed again.
Slept until 2pm, took a shower and went shopping with Kevin and Kavita. Couldn’t spend much time there cos I had another flight on that same evening, this time to Lahore, also in Pakistan. I was flying with Jennifer, the French chick who graduated with me, so I was very relaxed for this second one. When we got to the Crew Briefing we already realized that the flight would be a blast! The Purser was so much fun! Full of energy, and started the briefing by saying. “Guys I am here cos I love my job and I am happy even after 13 years! I believe that no matter how difficult our passenger can be, if we have a positive attitude, we’ll have an awesome time together!” Said and done! The flight was awesome! Everyone was working as a team, and we finished everything before scheduled! But the best part was during the take off and landing, when I got to sit in the Cockpit!!!! J Seriously, I looked like a little kid in the playground! Fantastic experience!!! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, there was a Brazilian chick on my flight! Her name is Ana Paula and she is pretty cool! So yeah, got back to Dubai after 6am. Went home and passed out straight away.
Wow!!! I think I wrote to much. My dear Brazilian followers you will have to forgive me again, but I cant get f***ed typing all this novel in Portuguese. L Next time I promise I will though!

KEEP DREAMING GUYS!
