You’ll find a million complicated things that are not enough to make you happy, but you’ll also find a million simple little things that can make you smile and make you realize that life is just beautiful.

—Inspiring thoughts that occasionally cross my mind

Fire in Villagio Mall killed 13 children and 6 adults, while the fire inside of me has made me feverish. I can hear the screams, while your silence is killing me. And my heart was broken. Oh Doha, what a tragedy!

Bakit daw laging nasa huli ang pagsisisi? Syempre naman! Kung sa una ka magsisi, ano naman pagsisisihan mo? Para kang umiyak bago masaktan.

—naisip ko lang

"Selos"? Ano 'yun?

Air: Babe, marunong ka bang magselos?
Raimond: Oo naman, babe. Nagseselos din naman ako.
Air: Ows? Parang hindi ko pa yata na-experience 'yang pagseselos mo.
Raimond: Hmm... Baka 'di mo lang napansin.
Air: Eh bakit dati kay ***, 'di ka naman nagselos?
Raimond: (his usual ego-boosting line) Eh tingnan mo naman, mas cute naman ako dun, babe...
Air: Haha! Babe naman... Maganda kaya katawan nun. May abs kaya sya. Nahawakan ko pa nga abs nun eh! Eh ikaw, wala ka naman ganung abs.
Raimond: Eh babe... Kailangan nya 'yung abs na 'yun. Syempre, pang-compensate.
Air: Haha! Ang yabang mo babe... Eh paano kung may mahanap ako na gwapo, maganda katawan, may abs, talented, matalino, sweet... Oh, paano na, magseselos ka na nyan?
Raimond: Babe, 'pag may nahanap kang ganun... Gay 'yun! Definitely gay!
Air: Ahahaha

Rechargeable

Crew 1: I just came back from Mashad and my flight was delayed for 3hrs.
Air: Same here, but from Bangalore.
Crew 1: I'm no longer legal for my next flight, right?
Air: I should still be legal. I still want to take my next flight.
Help Desk Staff: What are your staff numbers?
Crew 1: 39***
Help Desk Staff: And..?
Air: 30***
Help Desk Staff: Okay, here's what you should do. Go home, take a shower, have a cup of coffee and after a while, your rosters will change.
Crew 1: So my next flight will be removed?
Help Desk Staff: Yes.
Crew 1: *happy*
Air: Is there a possibility that mine won't change?
Help Desk Staff: No.
Air: Why? My reporting time is at 11:55 tonight. We landed at 9:45 this morning. It's more than minimum rest.
Help Desk Staff: No, my dear. When your duty time exceeds 12hrs, you must have minimum rest of the same amount of time. In your case, more than 14hrs.
Air: But I don't need 14hrs. I'm just like a rechargeable battery. I go home, I plug myself in, then I fly again tonight.
Help Desk Staff: *laughs*
Air: I'm serious.
Help Desk Staff: Sorry, no chance.
Air: *blank stare*

Ang pag-ibig ay parang sapatos. Kahit gaano kaganda, kung hindi kasya sa ‘yo… Masasaktan ka lang.

—thought reconstructed from the blog of “Lahat ng Bagay Parang Pag-ibig”. (TIE: Love is like a pair of shoes. No matter how beautiful, if it doesn’t fit you… You will only get hurt.)

Magandang pick-up line sana ang “Sa sobrang hot mo, nilagnat ako!” …kaso wala akong lagnat eh. Sayang! Haha :D

—reported sick for the first time in my flying career… history!

If I am the only person who knows that you are proud of me… Does it even make sense?

Monologue 17: Broken Pieces

Rain: Shine! Ano 'yang ginagawa mo? 'Di ba sabi ko sa 'yo, don't pick up the broken pieces of glass na. Masasaktan ka lang!
Sunshine: But with a little work, these broken pieces can make a beautiful piece of art.
Rain: Eh bakit ka umiiyak?
Sunshine: Ang hirap eh. Dami ko nang sugat.
Rain: Eh bakit mo pa ginagawa 'yan?
Sunshine: For love.
Rain: Hay...

Kapag ang minamahal mong camera ay may sinungaling na LCD, makakasanayan mo rin. Pero kapag ang minamahal mong tao ang nalaman mong nagsinungaling, ang hirap tanggapin. Hay… Sana ay camera ka na lang, para pwede ko lang i-calibrate ang monitor ko para maging okay na tayo.
