My trip is scheduled @ 6:15 pm boarding EK333 bound to Dubai. I insist our HR manager that I should ride this plane because (1) the food is great (2) 30 kgs. of bag allowance is unbelievable (3) stewardess is accomodating and (4)I wanna see Dubai's new airport.
Earlier before the flight i tried doing the on-line checking little did I know that it was way so cool to do it. Super convenient. No long line in the counter and preferred seats as well. And in fairness to me, i manage to keep my baggage to a minimum 30 kgs. That's another yey for me, to think that I almost got into fights and too much begging at the excess baggage counter before due to too much lucky me pancit canton and de lata.
What time will they be open?
Tagal magbukas ng counter!
After checking in, my next stop is the most scariest portion of the airport which is the "Immigration"! Flashback 3 years ago, I was almost detained in the Immigration room because (1) insubordination (don't you know our compnay?sikat kaya kami duh!) (2) questionable location (officer: diba may war sa iran? me;duh, 2 years ago pa yun!) (3) lack of docs (yan lang ho bingay ng HR namin, promise!) Maybe due to prayers of my friends and family 9thanks guys!) I pass through the immigration without any fuss and long debate.Thank God!
Nothing is much to blog about our airport.Didn't take an effort as well to take picture. IN short we really need to open NAIA terminal 3 for International Airport where it is more beautiful and exciting! heck, Tehran's airport is much bigger and better than our NAIA =P.
The ride with Emirates is pleasant, though there was a long turbulence from Vietnam to India due to bad weather, which is a major headache! The only thing that I hate about riding a long haul ride is the sleeping part (not enough space for economy class) I have to endure a 8 hour flight with almost no sleep and a turbulence pa.Waaaa

Dubai's Airport is huge! Its twice the size of the old airport. And the duty free is so large as well! It's very tempting to shop here, thank god i don't have time to shop, my money was saved hehehe. The airport is wi-fi area as well, and I had a chance to update facebook, twitter, yahoo mail, etc.
trip to Damman from Dubai only took 1.5 hours, and since acoording to my travel guide, its not advisable to take picture here in KSA, I refrain to do so. But when I was inside the car, I took some shots of the countryside in early morning!
Let's all rise up and build!!
Hello and Welcome to my Saudi Life. It's gonna be a wild ride!

dubai is really a dream destination for me. aside from having so many friends from there, i'd really love to experience the different environment and culture that it offers.
whoa, good to see your pics...and i wanna the pics of the place u were saying na maganda ang accommodation... :-) goody! *aw so envious* ehehe!
Welcome to the sandbox, theo. Hindi naman bawal kumuha ng pictures as long as its not on "sensitive area".
@ dong: honga bro, dito nalang tayo maguupdate sa mga buhay2 at travel natin hehehe.
@r-yo:yes doc, ganda sa dubai, di ka mahohomesick kasi dami pinoy.
@ tin: yes i will post some of my room pics, hehehe.
@ blogusvox: naku diko madistinguish kung ano ang mga sensitive area.takot ako sa mga muttawa baka mahuli ako =(.
Hindi mutawa ang huhuli sayo, pulis. Yung sensitive area ay yung pag-aari ng military, civil defense force at police. Mga government utilities, katulad sa communication, electricity atbp. Ganyan sila ka paranoid dahil wala silang tiwala kahit sa karatig bansa nila. Ingat.
ingat lang lagi bro. maganda ang advice ni blogsuvox. sana magkita kayo diyan at kasama na rin si doc.
lapit na ng december. hehehe...
