Is my name... My day job is not a journalist. And I don't run a travel agency. I travel a tad more than an average person does, that's cos it's what I do for a living. For the time being at least. Envy me not cos the job glitz goes just as far as the does, in between, it's (*7%!#@@?). Just another job, that's what I mean. But I love it and I love it, and I'm grateful. Anyhow, welcome to my weblog. In here, you'll get, if not little, scanty info on my globetrots and travels. Do not expect detailed accounts, nor travel-guide type facts and figs. Just some idiot-proof, Info-Sharing-101, you could find handy if you're looking up destinations, I've been to, myself. Feel free to indulge, heed my advice, dump it, comment, pop your queries or judge me, for all you fancy. All info are true at point of publishing, unless stated otherwise. Hmmph, just one advice. I share cos I'm naturally nice like that, but I'm not always, always right. Don't say I didn't warn you.

*Live from the Big Apple*

I arrived yesterday after what seemed like FOREVER. And I'm kidding you not. Just when I thought that 19 hours of flight scheduled hours was super-long for flight time and enough damage to general well-being. Consider those back-breaking moments of attending to every adhoc requests that could be and couple that with bad weather at Newark and causing us to divert to JFK instead. And due to logistics constraints, we were held in the aircraft, passengers included, for a good 3 hours. Finally, when the storm subsided, Newark reopened and we flew back in. A total of 23 hours on board, 25 hours of duty, 28 hours since I woke up... no more hours before I conk the living state out of me...
Anyhow, I'm up and awake now though not totally, I can't wait for Aud to fly in this evening. I'm just gonna get her dinner afterwards, our favourite push-cart garbs in NYC. Minus the carbs, cos she specifically say in her sms,
"Nad, no rice just salad. Lotsa white sauce and hot sauce on the side."
Coming Rite Up!

p/s: i-phone hype in NYC. People were in q's, one was offering 5000 buckaroos for his spot!

I couldn't imagine the 1 1/2 days without sleeping in the office and working non-stop. You need to recharge before you fly back home again! I'm sure you know the best thing to do to recharge : retail therapy. Hehe...take care ok? And most importantly, have fun!

Mush and stuffs...a journey nonetheless.
(If u're a romancephobe...skip this entry please!)

Who would have thought...

Who would have thought that a chance meeting and a simple 'hi' would lead us to where we are now.

Who would have thought I could look into your eyes and be swept away by the vast ocean of emotions that you brought out of me.

Who would have thought that it would mean so much to have a man like you in my life and to show me true passion and like me, believes in total honesty.

Who would have thought that I would give you the key to my heart and would allow you entrance to an area within me where I thought would never be whole.

Who would have thought that I would be willing to risk being hurt once again by allowing you access into my heart, mind and soul.

Who would have thought that my life would be blessed by such a wonderful, intelligent and compassionate man.

Who would have thought that on this day I would promise to forever stand by your side offerring friendship, compassion and love to you as only your lady can.

- Tina Marie.

Who would have thought that I would be dating a good friend's brother...

12 Gerberas and counting...

Who would have thought, really?

Thank you, bfg.

I hope for blessings from Him and people who matters.

Amin.

Nothing...zilch,nada...

Nothing much have changed since the last time I updated, except that I'm feeling a tad guilty that I haven't been updating. Most times nowadays, I have it hard lamenting on a keyboard. Probably because I haven't exactly much to lament about. Trust me since I last updated, I've only sent my car for servicing, sent my laptop for a change of lcd that cost me a rip, repaired my bag (another rip), metal-tubing to LA and back. Decorated a basket! A cousin's engagement. Bought a bottle of EDP that was wrongly priced in Sydney, a couple of trips to JB. Had dessert in Shanghai and was a piece of useless block when I came back early yesterday morning. The whole of Sunday, I was alternating between sprawling in bed and rubbing my eyes. And I minimised muscular movements to smsing and nothing more than parametering from plate--to-mouth distance. I hope it doesn't reduce my reputation from blogger, always-in-hiatus to blogger, persona-non-grata. Not that I have any reputation in this bloggosphere to begin with. But I've noticed some new bloghoppers. And I definitely welcome their hopping by and linking me up. Honest. Thank u! But unlike many others I'm constrained, sometimes by lack of connectivity (I've asked Jerome about the range extender and where to get one cheap..hehe and he's gonne get me one! I hope that'll be solution. Anyone with more info and is willing to share, please do, please do!), most time by lack of ideas. And everytime by lack of interesting events. So do bear with me. Readership or no readership, I'll update when I mean to, and I still will. Promise.

p/s: My cousin got engaged!
