Training essentials

'

Proper training, being an essential part of every respected company's policy, is crucial for the newcomers to become fully aware of their future profession's requirements. Being part of a Cabin Crew, contrary to what most people believe, is not just waitressing in the air. Alas, it is far more than that!!! With that being said, flying attendant's job is not only to provide the passengers with the best flying experience ever, but, above all, to facilitate their safe arrival to the destination. Well, as for my part, the learning process is in progress, the cumbersome folders are waiting patiently to be scrutinised while the Dubai is growing on me. Default training essentials for the next endless couple of weeks are: red tshirt, black trousers, red lipstick and crayon, mascara, red nail polish, a hair bun cocooned in tons of hair spray, conservative style watch and some lovely fragrance. 

First flying experience

It was pretty damn good acctualy! Difficult as it was to leave literally everything behind, flying off to DubIai felt just the right thing to do. Anyways, I am writing to you guys from the air, after spoiling myself with some food and drinks and after taking a refreshing nap. I have to say, Emirates crew are the best! Since I am a vegetarian I shyly asked the crew for a vegetarian meal instead of chicken and they offered me one of the extra portions which was cabin crew lunch. Customers first! The climax of the journey came in its very beginning though. When the crew found out we are their colleagues to be, the lady told us the nicest thing you can ever hear while starting fresh! She said trustworthily: you will enjoy this flight and you will enjoy the rest of your lives! Expectations: zero. Headache: massive. Temperature: sauna alike. Water: yes, please. Happiness: full.

All set

 

This is it. I am all set to go straight to Dubai. The new hair is done, the suitcases are packed and all I can think of now is the things I've forgotten because there is always something missing in our luggage, don't you think? Can't we just be happy with what we have? Whatever the desire, you will still crave more. Anyways, every day I am grateful for what I have because I have more every day - more experience, more love, more everything! P.S. My hair colour's changed, well, half of it because of the love/hate "ombre", so now I am partly blonde partly brunette, can you believe this? Au revoir!!

Bracelet Gift

I have always felt that I am taken great care of, notwithstanding the medium. To know that your family is supporting you as much as they can, your true friends are always there at your service, and that even your worse enemies are lurking around every corner to take you down a peg or two, is a real blessing. I feel exeptionally blessed that I have that all! This uber-charming red string bracelet I got recently from one of my dearest friends who is surely coming to visit me in Dubai as soon as I manage to build my little nest in there! Only Love...

New chapter

In five days from now I will be dwelling in a brand-new place somewhere in the desert with very distinct climate - temperatures in Dubai are now reaching 46 Celsius degrees! Apparently, I will be working uncivilized hours with total strangers each time on board. The cultural mosaic will be colossal, like nowherelese in the world. I am leaving behind my former lifestyle but at the same time I am taking everything I am with me. Dubai is to become my new home very soon and you know what, I am very looking forward to it!

Bit by bit

Little by little I managed to take all the vaccinations. Weren't they mandatory, I definitely wouldn't have taken them. Sore arms, blurred perception, dizziness and nausea are not my objects of desire. What has to be done has to be done though, so yesterday I finally took the last shot. Inoculations are no joke since they contain poisonous toxines so I needed to take many precautions to boost my immune system. Fortunately, there is variety of foods which facilitate your well being and I happen to eat plenty of these. Here is to the healthy eating habits in search for which you can explore my previous posts like this one!

Ultimate Airport Dubai show

So recentrly I've been absorbed in watching the Ultimate Airport Dubai series (which you can also watch here). Since the airport may soon become my home away from home I find the show quite amusing. However, as the very name suggests, the SHOW focuses mainly on mishaps this international mecca deals with daily. Had it not been for the variety of little airport misfortunes, the show apparently wouldn't have been interesting for some. It seems to me, though, that the distress would always be somwhere out there and we should certainly do our best to avoid it but hey, do we have to pay so much attention to dolor? I reckon the bright side is what I want to focus on and this show provides me with great deal od information about the Dubai aviation hub and interesting cultural facts I am so hungry for right now!
