10:30 am, Bur Dubai

4 hours late from Manila time. 5 hours since arrival. 14 hours after departure from Manila, from my friends, from parties, and family.

The flight was better than expected. From the friendly immigration lady, to cute little kids at the boarding area, to excellent movie picks at the airplane. I was amazed that they have STARDUST. Stardust! But it's a shame that I slept throughout the movie and until after that. I slept throughout the flight except during when food was served. And Emirates serve delectable food with variety. For the midnight snack they served sandwich with beef pastrami and cheese and a flan with macapuno that i paired with dried mangoes and delicious orange juice. I have a thing for orange juice now :)

But the trip was still bumpy even when we arrived because Vic is such a pain in the ass. Gawd I hate him!

My dad and his married friends tito Rey and tita Sheila picked us up at the airport and drove us to my dad's flat. (My dad doesn't have a car yet)

The airport wasn't that impressing as the one in Hong Kong but Dubai's architecture is totally amazing! Different shaped buildings, not the typical towering rectangles but they have curves, airplanes, triangles cylindrical shaped buildings! Wow!

So far it's good, it's sunny sunny:) a lot of Filipinos, and nice people, the down side for me is that books here are expensive because of the packaging, and that my dad doesn't have a car yet. and there's no channel 2 so I can't watch PBB and Maging Sino Ka Man! I'm liking it, my dad's flat's okay. quiet neighborhood. Oh well, that's it for now:)
