Where SIA (Singapore Airlines) booked me after I said I was amenable to the idea of being moved to another flight the following day - because SIA had overbooked.
Sometimes life just gives you these little bonuses after a trek down the valley of sadness - and the best thing is that you don't expect it, but it happens.
I am a lucky girl...este lucky kitty-cat! :-)
So happy for your treat, Cat!
ReplyDeleteMommy Loy! :-)
ReplyDeleteIf only they had offered it again the next day (pero that would be too greedy of me...hehehe).
Content na ako...I had a marvelous dinner buffet with Helene (though my eyes were drooping na that night because I was stuffed from all the seafood)..abd then I had a walk down the part of Singapore river with her...and I tumbled into bed na aferwards without even doing my nightly ablutions.
At least naka-rest ug nakatulog after all the moving around.
Sayang no free wi-fi, I could have worked there :-)
That, for me, is what good hotels are all about.
ReplyDeleteDue to lack of time wa na gyod mi magkakita ni Pat and Manuel...
ReplyDeleteoh well, maybe that means I can go to Singapore again in the future na pod...
That is a really nice area by the marina. Someone's looking after you Cat, he knows you need a great break.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm the only one but whenever I hit reply I would lose the reply box. I have to play with the radio buttons here before I could type something that's why if you noticed some of my replies went to your PM a couple of times last month.
You were in a first-class suite with matching free dinner with Helene no less and you were thinking about work?
ReplyDeletethe training is ingrained up to the cellular level of my subatomic particles :-)
ReplyDeleteseriously though...this is one reason I bring my work laptop even during vacations..if one does not check emails everyday, one has a tendency to face at least a thousand emails after a couple of days off..so imagine the horror after a week or two of being on vacation...
there is a need to not wait at the end but do some things over time...
a bit far from Clarke Quay though...I think they should put an MRT near to this place...
ReplyDeletefor now one will just have to enjoy walking around the sides of the river where this and other buildings are standing...
I didn't miss the other sights of Singapore that much after all I have been there before a couple of times, but I hope next time I can visit more museums :-) and even the Library (Loo said I should go there, maybe I can meet my type of man...hahaha! )
there was a time it happened to me once or twice, so what I did was that I just copied the reply text I wanted to respond to and put it inside my reply box.
ReplyDeleteLately though, ok na naman ulit *scratch head*
lucky indeed!
ReplyDeleteI agree, maybe your destiny is waiting in the library or in the museum. Baka naman too serious yon?
ReplyDelete(I cannot click on the phrase only kasi nawawala yong buong entry mo. Ayaw ata sa akin. LOL)
think lucky and one will be lucky (pero actually I never expected it..so di ko ma attribute to the power of positive thinking...ang alam ko lang is I was quite full of ba ku teh and boosog na boosog so feeling happy na beforehand)
ReplyDeletepero may success naman Tita Lou..ayan oh...nasama na ang reply...haha...if you don't succeed, try and try again...
ReplyDeleteas for the guy in the library...malay, baka pumunta lang don para matulog...mwahaha!
I don't know what email software your company is using but in the office where I used to work we can set an auto-response which alerts the email sender that I am out of office, on official travel or on vacation so they do not keep on sending me emails for the period that I'm away from office. Maybe you have something like that as well.
ReplyDeleteoh yes, my OOO in Outlook is set for both inside and outside the org (so is my gmail)
ReplyDeletebut since I ask to be cc'd on the emails to send to my backup, may emails pa rin ako...
which is useful because when I get back the handover is given so I need to keep track of whats happening...I just prefer to do it gradually whilst am away then go through so many emails in one day when am back...
Kasi nga " there's no hard in trying" di ba? hi hi hi
ReplyDeletengeh! hihihi!
ReplyDeleteWork, work, work....
ReplyDeletework helps pay my bills..which would probably not have been there in the first place if I didn't work here...hahaha..vicious cycle yata...
ReplyDeleteIt's a choice, Cat - you either live to work or work to live.
ReplyDeleteI chose both...cge na nga..walang choice for now..
ReplyDeleteJust look at it this way, Cat: One cannot be without the other. Is it possible to have life without work or is it possible to have work without life?
ReplyDeleteI think its possible to have life without work
ReplyDeleteat the same time work without life is very possible too...I mean I have seen some peeps I know work their ass off and not have lives to enjoy and live fully...
its all there, could be one without the other, could be one with the other...
