I have met one passenger who’s battling with breast cancer for 9 years. She is 61 years old & not married, she has six siblings which have their own families except for the youngest one whom she is living with.

At her age, she is still working while having her treatment -chemo, radiation & etc all alone by herself for she doesn’t want to trouble her siblings as they’re busy with their own families.

She’s a stranger but talking to her was like I was talking to my mother. I admire her for her strength and for being so positive in life despite of what she’s going through. She gives me a lot of encouragement and inspiration. Such a strong & courageous woman.

My struggle is nothing compare to hers and that I should be more thankful & grateful with my life. She reminds me to face every situations with the right attitude and that life is still beautiful.

Everyday at work I meet a lot of different and interesting people all over the world. I face different challenges and gain different experiences. I came to realized no matter what attitude passengers are going to show me I should not judge them. Everyone has a different story.

Praying for complete healing of my passenger whom despite of her situation she remains grateful in life. And yet, she still willing to help others with all her heart especially to those with cancer. Her heart is full of strength, hope, kindness & peace. Im so blessed with her life. God bless her.

Cancer is big but God is bigger!

Life is beautiful!

Congratulations to my little brother who just graduated from college with the course of “Aircraft Maintenance Technician.” He is the youngest in our family. How time flies so fast. I can’t imagine the little boy I used to carry in  my arms, I sing with lullaby, bath and change diapers is now a young man and here you are now, blooming into your own person. I’m so happy and proud of you Bro. 

As usual, I have the hardest time trying to figure out what to get Him. I tried to imagine the kind of gift that He would like and that is useful. My brother is not just handsome and smart guy but He is also very talented. He loves to play musical instruments especially the guitar. And He is active in the music ministry in our church. I think I should buy him argosy speaker stands to make His music room more organized and to make it easier for Him to set-up His electric guitar to the speakers every time He wants play with it. It may help and encourage Him to continue to use His talent for God’s glory.

Once again, Congratulations to you my dear Brother. I still remember when you were still very small and if you were asked what you wanted to be when you grow up? You would always answer, When I grow up I want to be a Pilot. You are now in the half way. This is just a break as you enter the new battlefields of life. You are the pilot of your own life, fly and take God as your compass to make your life soar, triumph over adversity, live a happy and fulfilled life. I wish you all the luck for your bright career in future. Just always put God first in everything you do, do your best and God will take care of the rest.

God’s blessing on your journey, Bro. I love you!

11039876_836614103042207_5581195606108856852_nI just finished the “Customer Service Skills Training Programme.” A short course conducted by Changi Airport group (CAG) to help us refresh and enhance our knowledge and skills in customer service and to teach us the Changi way of service.

We did a lot of fun and learning activities and one of them was the “positive first impression game.” It involves writing our first impression of someone we meet. The set up of the game – a sheet of paper with our name on top was taped on our back. Each of us have to write in a post-it our positive first impression of the person and paste it on his back. In the picture are my co-participants positive first impressions at me. Receiving their positive impressions made me happy and made my day.

The programme taught us to always have a positive mind-set especially when going to work. Words are a reflection of our thoughts. Positive words come from positive thoughts. It is really that simple. Positive words can bring happiness to people, so always give a positive words to everyone especially at work. It will make them feel happy too. Some people do not realize the words they use and how their words affect others. The feeling is so rewarding when you made a difference in someone else’s day. It can bring good karma and can make your day even more brighter. People who have a positive mind-set achieve more positive outcomes than those with a negative one.

In today’s competitive and modern business world, it is highly essential to adhere with professional appearance and grooming especially if you work in the frontline. Uniform and grooming is very important as it plays a key part in projecting a professional image. Being well-groomed and uniform professional will influence guests perception of the company and it will create not just a positive impression but it will also build guest’s confidence and respect to the staff.

Every semester our company is issuing a uniform which is a 3 pairs of shoes, 4 set of blazer & skirt, 4 pcs scarf and 1 1/2 dozen of stocking to ensure that our uniform always looks good and brand new. Uniform is our identity that we are a staff of the company, so we must present a neat and tidy appearance to uphold company’s image. Professional appearance is an indication that we take care of ourselves and the company.

Proper grooming make our best image and personality shines. Present yourself in the best possible way. One of our company’s grooming guidelines is to wear make-up. Make-up is a mandatory as we know it enhance our appearance. Lipstick must be red to make our smile visible even from afar. Hair must not cover the face, if reaching shoulder length must be tied up in a ponytail. For accessories, only 1 pair of simple ear studs is allowed, 1pc of watch, 1pc necklace, maximum 2pcs of gold or silver bracelets, and maximum of 3 rings including engagement and wedding ring. I like rings and I love to wear at work the rings my boyfriend gave me. He knows where to find the best selection of class rings. For nails must be kept clean and neat. Nail polish is permitted as long as no crytal jewels, nail art design and extreme color.

Above all, Smile is part of the uniform. It is the most important uniform to wear. Greet everyone with a smile. When you’re smiling’ the whole world smiles with you. First impressions last. First impressions matter and the way you look, act and carry yourself create impact on people you get along with in the work setting. Your smile can brighten up someone’s day. Create a beautiful and happy environment at work…..S_M_I_L_E ! It feels good.

Changi International Airport (Singapore) is the no.1 Best airport in the world. Changi Airport serves more than 100 airlines. It is the main stopover point of  many airlines connecting Singapore to over 60 countries worldwide with over two million passengers annually. Changi Airport is a huge airport, very clean, organized and has incredible facilities and amenities like butterfly Garden, Sunflower Garden, rooftop pool, movie theaters, hotels, spas, and even a children’s playground including four-story slide. Changi airport is also an Airport Mall with lots of shops and boutiques, supermarket, restaurants and more. No surprise Changi Airport took the number one spot for the best and most awarded airport in the world.

The Airport has three interconnected terminals that are accessible by skytrain. And aside from the 3 terminals, there is also a special terminal for Low Cost Carrier Airlines which called “Budget Terminal” that is under renovation right now. And rumors says another terminal is coming up. Changi Airport never stops upgrading the airport to give best experience for the travelers during their stop at Changi.

Every year Changi Aiport is following it’s popularity of celebrating every holiday seasons just like (Chinese New year-for Chinese, Hariraya-for Malay, Depawali-for Indians and Christmas for Christians). But Christmas year-end celebration is the most exciting one because of it’s inspired Theme. And this year I salute the Theme idea – World Disney.

Traveling during holiday season especially when you are alone is quite depressing. But Changi airport is making ways to delight passengers and make you feel the festive season even though you are away from home.

Just like the Magical Winter Wonderland in the Departure Hall of terminal 3 brings happiness to its passengers and visitors. Make every passengers forget their stress and loneliness.

The Christmas Snow Globe

It attract passengers and visitors with its dazzling decorations display and amazing “light & Sound with storyline Show” with snow flakes droplets. The show plays every hour start from 05:00pm ’till 09:00pm (weekdays) and (weekends) hourly from 01:00 pm to 03:00 pm then 06:00 pm to 09:00 pm .

Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse

No need to fly to Disneyland to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse. They are at Changi Airport Terminal 2 Departure Hall delighting passengers. Everyone – kids, adult, gentleman, lady, grandma, grandpa and business man couldn’t resist of not taking pictures when seeing them. Mickey & Winnie are seem real having a big concert where people are get entertained.

Changi Airport never runs out of idea. Every year different inspired themes. I’m am lucky and honored to be a part of changi Airport. For almost four years now my life revolves only at Changi Airport and I’m happy proud and happy working at Changi!  I love Changi.

Here is a short video for you. Enjoy watching!!!

Cebu City, Philippines Tour

My job interview was getting closer so I had to fly ahead of time to Cebu City. I treated my sisters and my niece to accompany me to have a source of courage and support and at the same time to spend time together. It was indeed a good sisters’ bonding moment for us though it was a short and tiring trip but we enjoyed it a lot. It was all our first time visit to Cebu City and we found it a very nice and beautiful place.

Thanks God we landed at Cebu City very safe for the weather was not good and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA forecasted a typhoon in our place  to come anytime soon.

      

We just had a very limited time so we made the most out of it. The moment we reached Cebu and checked-in to hotel where we booked our stay, we took a little rest and right away started the tour.

First, we climbed to the mountain top with the good set of stairs leading us to the Taoist Temple. The temple was built by a Chinese community in Cebu for the taoist worshippers a place to pray. It is where they believe the place to pray to the gods to grants one’s wish. The place was so beautiful with the scenic view of the downtown of Cebu. It becomes one of the famous tourist spots in Cebu City. It has chapels, function hall, library, souvenir shop and a wishing well. It’s worth climbing on top of the mountain.

          

Before the run day close, we also visited the oldest and smallest Fort in the Philippines- the fort San Pedro. It is now a museum-park where Spanish artifacts, documents, paintings, sculpture, sword fragments, cannons are displayed.

       

We ended the day with a dinner and immediately went back to the hotel where we stayed. All of us were so tired and wanted rest. My sisters slowly fell asleep while me got busy preparing for my interview the next day. I read book, review my job knowledge and prayed.

Here comes the day! I got up early to pray and bathed. Oh God, I was so nervous. Me, my sisters and my lucky charm-niece went to the hotel venue for the interview. It took quite long time for me waited to be interviewed for I came  early prior to the time advised. It is better to be early than late.

Due to nervous and lack of confidence to myself I didn’t able to answer all the questions well but I didn’t lose hope though. I leaned on my faith and trust that God will take charge of the result. While waited for the result, we went to Basilca Del Sto. Nino Church. The Basilica is a place of prayer and pilgrimage of hundreds of thousands of Catholic Christians.

            

After few hours the agency contacted me and was telling that I was a preselected and I need to report for briefing and contract signing the next day morning. What a great joy I felt. It is really true that nothing is impossible with God if we only believe. I gave back the glory and honor to Him. We went home very enjoyed, successful and safe. The typhoon swerved her way to different direction. God was and is always at control. He took care of everything. Praise the Lord.

New Career Opportunity

I got a phone call from Service On Line agency- an overseas recruitment agency looking for an applicant who wants to work abroad. They got some of my information and contact details through www.workabroad.ph where I signed in. Work Abroad is a Philippine manpower pooling site for the top recruitment agencies in the Philippines accredited by Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA).

The agency called to inform me that they have a job vacancy that fits for my qualification and asked me if I’m willing to be scheduled for an interview by the employer in Cebu City – an hour by plane from my place. I didn’t hesitate to say “yes” I had to take the risk for this is a good opportunity for me to a get new, better job. If God permits I will be working at the Airport in Singapore as a Frontliner Officer. I get excited for I know it will give me more exposure and new challenging experience. If ever I get the job, it would be my 3rd time to work outside my country. I got my first worked in Dubai United Arab Emirates for 3 years and previously at Sulatanate of Oman for 2 years. I am more excited with this job because since childhood I have been fascinated to work in an airline industry and besides Singapore is just nearby to my country. I can go home easily.

Atlast after long hours of travel with Etihad Airways it’s now over. I arrived in Muscat Oman International Airport at 10:45 am. The Pulic Relation Officer picked me up and brought me directly to the Office. It took only a while introducing myself to them and vise versa and they sent me right away to the accommodation which is just so very close to the Hotel.

moto_06611I appreciated them so much the way they welcome me. They prepared a bottles of water, beddings, towel, basket of fruits & welcome letter in my bed.

MY FRIST DAY:
Inevitably can’t kept  tears from falling.  I felt like I was in the wilderness, so lonely & broken,  don’t know where to go, don’t know where to turn, nothing to do but to go on , crying  & counting the days. I have nothing but Hope. Hope that one day I would find a companion and find the way back home. Sometimes I could say that money could not pay to the loneliness I have encountered. Better to work & stay in my own country eventhough I will earn not that much compare on how much I will earn abroad, atleast I am happy and not lonely. I decided then  might this will be my last time.

@ Work

We made a Hotel Tours from Muscat to Al Madinah Holiday Inn Hotel branch on my first day of training. I thanked God I enjoyed it. I forgot one day of sorrow. I enjoyed seeing the overlooking rock  mountains and ocean and I enjoyed taking picture to myself…he..he…I am nervous but in the same time excited  for I am going to have a training in Front Office -Reception,  Reservation, Housekeeping and F&B.  It’s good for me because I know I will gain knowledge &  will learn many things from it.
