AND IT´S STILL RAINING...

Hello Manuel...

My name is David, I know we have never met, I am a friend of Vincent... I am sure he talked to you about me... he certainly talked lots about you!

Today Vincent has told me that you have left us... he is very sad and so am I. Such a gorgeous young intelligent man... I do not know what to do other than give Vincent my support, he knows that, and to say that I am really really sorry I have never met you... hope never fades away with me though, I am sure we´ll meet again... let´s just wait. I could ask you a million questions now!

Wherever you are take good care... and take care of us... if you can. I know you would!

yours, forever.

IT´S RAINING...

It´s cold and it´s raining....

and Donnie, a work colleague,
has been diagnosed with spinal cancer...
and Manuel, Vincent´s best friend,
is in hospital suffering from malaria...
and Vincent is very sad because Manuel is in hospital...

grim...

life sometimes is harsh like this, what can we do? Be there for each other...

and it´s still raining outside...

and not sure now if this pic cheers me up or makes me more sad...

it´s definetely not my belly... :o(

INCREÍBLE!! - U.S. AIRWAYS CRASH

I must admit I am totally happy and amazed that the pilot managed to land on water without breaking the plane into parts... as former flight attendant we were trained for such an event, but always told -and thought- this is totally impossible! Primary exit: overwing, and tell the passengers to stand on the wings... the plane will float at least till help arrives. Yeah, whatever! But this is proof that yes it can happen! Well done to the crew!

Estoy totalmente asombrado de la proeza del capitán y la tripulación! Cuando fuí aeromozo nos entrenaron para este tipo de emergencias, pero la verdad sea dicha, el sueño de todo tripulante de cabina es sobrevivir un amaraje así y sin un rasguño! Mi enhorabuena a la tripulación!

EMIRATES A380

Brand bew Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport: forget Heathrow!

This is the A380. Awaiting boarding. Note there are 3 jetties attached to ease the process. Can´t see it very well but it is one attached to the upper deck and 2 on the lower deck. Emirates holds 14 First class suites and 76 business upstairs, 399 economy downstairs.

Final call... so excited!

view from the jetty,

and below, stars on the ceiling of the cabin, to give a night sky effect...

Seat with a view. I sat in 57E, as it says on my personal screen above... last row is 97 or so, so I was towards the front! Can´t wait to fly on it again!

FRRRRÍO

También ha nevado por aquí, aunque no tanto como en España!

We´ve had some snow... But in Spain they´ve beaten us! More snow than ever in Spain!

KL 1-2-3JAN (II)

KL - NEW YEAR´s EVE FIREWORKS AT KLCC

CANELONS: Per cap d´any, per sopar vaig cuinar per primer cop una safata de canelons!

CANELONI: For the first time in my like I cooked caneloni for 7 people all by myself! And yes, they were good! Ask for the recipy!

quina pinta eh!?

The PAVILION undoubtedly the best shopping mall in Bukit Bintang! Try PADINI for men´s clothes at bargain prices and TANGS for the best SALE! By the way, I have the PADINI discount card... however, not that I can use it much... asian sizes are quite small and I am fed up buying the XL... M or L back home makes me feel better. Plus the trousers have a funny cut that doesn´t feel quite right... maybe my bum is too big?

The PAVILION: és el millor centre comercial de Bukit Bintang, el centre de KL. Els millors preus en roba els trobaràs a PADINI i les millors rebaixes a TANGS!
