On A Bad Luck Streak + EK and QR New Routes

Can't think of a much better introduction than I'm winning on a bad luck lottery! I blogged about my broken pc before, but that's just the start. Two days ago I had my rubber shoes stolen in my garage. My dad had left the gate open when he went to the store to buy something. It's not him to blame, I guess it's just about timing and the robber's timing was just right. I've been taking care of that shoes for one year now. No scratch and white as if it were brand new, and the reason why I'm keeping it that way is because it's the only pair I have (so not a grab-all-the-shoes-you-want person). Oh, and that's not the only thing stolen from me. Included is a Dunhill Cigarette case with one Marlboro Lights stick in it and a lighter. Give me a break already! Last night my PDA fell as I was looking for a place with a good reception while standing on my bed. It ricocheted when it hit the floor and the result was devastating. As I turned on the power, All I can see is a vertical red line on the center of the screen and then it turned pitch black. Can you imagine the horror I'm facing last dreaded night? I guess not. Well, unless you're facing the same dilemma. I just hope that there will be a light at the end of this very very long and dark tunnel. I'm now looking for a service center that can fix my phone. It's an Imate 8502 PDA phone, so if some of you know where I can get help, please do message me or comment below this blog.

EK Update:

Emirates has announced that they will be lauching a service to Baghdad, Iraq starting on July 1. Oh boy, I'm so excited to be waken up by your daily wake-up call explosions. I sure don't mind DEADheading on that destination :)

QR Update:

Qatar Airways will be upgrading its equipment and flights to Copehnhagen (CPH) from A319 to A330 and from four times to daily service respectively. It will also begin flying to Barcelona, Spain (BCN), Buenos Aires, Argentina (EZE) and Sao Paolo, Brazil (GRU) this June. QR is also studying the feasibility of adding Oslo, Norway (OSL), Sydney, Australia (SYD), and Sofia, Belgrade (SOF) to its growing list of destinations.

Looks like Qatar Airways is not far behind Emirates...

It's just a matter of time before EK announce a new route again. DUB perhaps?? Btw, CPH is also on the plan. Review my previous post.

That got me thinking... Emirates or Qatar??

Well, wait for my next post. It's Pros and Cons time :)

Mid Exam Week

Yesterday was a very bad day for me. I hardly slept because I was preparing for my exams. Since I didn't sleep, I expected that I was going to arrive in school early (big deal if you're always late). My anxiety was growing as I prepare to leave my house. Things started to change when our driver turned the van around to take a different route. What a waste of time (15minutes of it, plus the time we traveled to get back on the usual route). I arrived in school at around 8:30 (30 mins late for my exam) when I remembered that I still have to print something. Ugh. The printer at the shop was acting weird, it wouldn't print my documents unless it's on normal mode (I prefer draft coz it prints faster). By the time it was done, it's already 9am. I was arguing with the person in charge on the shop about how slow their printer is. I remained calm because she is my friend and it wasn't her fault anyway. Then I went inside the campus to find my professor and talk to him about the exam I missed. He was kind enough to give me the exam right there in the office. As I was taking the exam, I noticed that almost none of what I reviewed was there. Wtf!. After that, I prepared for my exam by 12. I was cramming to review the topic I missed on that subject just to learn it is not included in the exam. But I can say that I did well. Bad lucks are over.
