Miss Superlatives

this one goes to our lovely reception lady who always makes our coming to work a not-so-Monday feeling :) happy birthday Morni!

the haze psi level has gone down but we are still not too complacent of what might come up later today. but this morning, em and i decided to do our usual Seletar reservoir brekkie amidst   the lurking haze nearby.  we bought our usual $4 packet, usually with noodles, maling (luncheon meat!), sunny side up egg and a couple of chicken nuggets. we added a bottle of Mirinda, Starbucks Frap bottle and Mineral water. Inside my picnic bag - a pack of hotdog buns, Belcube cheddar cheese, mini St Dalfour blackcurrant spread, Sunchips!, some lemonsito and one orange fruit. brekky in the woods We laid everything in our usual concrete bench facing the reservoir.  Em took out his X-mini Speakers and blasted Y101FM through 3G. while i am blogging now, em is relaxing with music blaring. as we wait for the noon sun to consume the shade we have, then we know it's time to pack up and go.  i rested my hand thinking of what to write next and then suddenly. an indian guy went near

still very hazy in singapore. with the psi (pollutants standards index) raised up to 321 last night, which is considered hazardous, we could only wait and hope for the best that it goes down on the next reading. it did this morning but it was still high on the index at 198 psi by noon. the wearing of the mask became compulsory for all staff. seletar airport was closed down since morning, no arrivals and departures allowed due to low - zero visibility. the whole airport looked like a scene in one of the "end of the world" movies. after the lunch break, our HR issued memo for all employees to take the afternoon off due to the hazardous condition at work. everyone was relieved but not too happy because we still fear the levels will still rise up tonight.  hope not. hazed!!

a thick haze greeted me out of work today. that means tomorrow i need to don my zorro's. they laughed at me saying the zorro only covers your eyebags and brows and not your nose and eyes. well, that's the whole point, i don't want the haze to mess with those ;)  and they gave me a blank stare.  earlier today was hazier. an accident occured involving one of our known aircrafts. it was towed in this afternoon and boy! the damage was pretty bad. 2 damaged flaps and ldg door got stuck into the inboard flap. really sad but lucky no one was hurt, it could have been worse.

well, here is the dot zip version of the 11-day stroll in the estados unidos. each day has a full page story but i do not want to bore you with the details so these little teasers will be enough idea of what went wrong and... what went wrong :) before the misadventure  uno - hueves - dieceseis changi airport terminal 2 having a sh*tty night with PAL.  delayed, delayed, delayed. what more? delayed. dos - spilling over to viernes - diecesiete ( Singapore / Manila Time) still in changi airport having a wide-awake nightmare with PAL. arrived Manila that morning , the sh*tty night to day continues. as much as i wanted to understand the inconvenience, i did not see any of their attempts of improving the situation. *sad* *currently writing a loooong love letter to PAL* dos y medya - viernes (still!)  - diecesiete (LA Time)  emem and wingwing (hehe dobol2x) arrived in LA at 8am , breezed through immigration and customs. everyone was surprised why we only had back pack
