Hectic
Next to my work, the only thing that is keeping me busy is my thesis for school. I have no social life to speak of. But that's okay... it is with a purpose. Because when I am in Aruba for Christmas, the last thing that will be on my mind is school.
This weekend I did however make an exception... Mom and I went Christmas shopping for gifts on the market in Rotterdam Blaak and in the stores in the center on Saturday. Because Mom is going to London and Seoul (South Korea) for her job in the next tow weeks for 10 days we will not get the chance again. The weather was okay, so it was ideal. We lunched at La Place and made a complete day out of it. On Sunday I went to Eindhoven where she works at the Philips headquarters where they had an open day. It was fun and I got loads of free stuff. Back home at my parents' house in Dordt, I was so damn tired from the lack of sleep, I passed out on the sofa, which my 'favorite' brother didn't miss to take a pic of.... bastard.

Thanks a million Junior!
Oh yeah... and as a sign of support, Mom also got a tattoo on her leg. It is also a fish (Carp/karper) like Dad has. And she always swore she would never get a tattoo. As they say... never say never.

My Robbedoes came back from his short vacation in Surinam. The IPB went okay thankfully. It is always a hassle with staff travel from Surinam. Certain times of the year it is even blacklisted, so employees are not allowed to travel on a staff ticket. The chances of getting stuck are just to great and then you can't return to your work on time, which happened to a lot of KLM staff already in the past. So to destinations like Aruba, The Netherlands Antilles, Surinam, Bangkok and Singapore there is an embargo certain times of the year. Now he is in Toronto on lay-over. But last week he did an Europe-week and on his way back from Glasgow GLA he had an all-male crew. I know that this doesn't happen often...

Now I am going to do some research for my thesis and head to bed. My hectic life continues...

He he ik had 4 dagen vrij na mijn YVR vlucht en morgen heb ik mijn General recurrent, yikes. Ben nu aan het leren... Ooooh
Dinsdag vliegen een BAH met AUH erbij yuk yuk yuk... Oooo i so hate the A-330
Gisteren keek ik voor het eerst naar dat filmpje UNITED 93 (September 11) best wel eng hoor dat laatste stukje. Waar de passagiers in de cockpit voor hun leven waren aan het vechten. Best ENGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
CRUEL PEOPLE UFFFFFFFFFFF KILL THAT BINLADEN BITCH AND MAKE SOUVENIERS OUT OF HIS BONES...
Cardo
Lies! Slutty McSlut! Hahahah!
Anon: Ugh. Ik heb United 93 een jaar geleden in de bioscoop gezien! Ik krijg er kriebels van! Die passagiers hadden echt lef!
Ryan: just because you are soooo busy, doesn't mean the phone doesn't exist. Pick it up every once in a while, will you. I bet Robin felt really at home with his all-male crew. Just had to be said! Lol!
Lesley
Oh My God!!! Lesley your alive??? Haven't heard nothing from you in a long time. Scooby dooby doo wuahahahaha
Whahaha pancake Robin,
And bugs bunny Ryan... Well well the 3 stooches/stooges weet ik veel hoe je dat allemaal schrijft.
Ey Ryan did you hear??? They are trying to start up an Arubian airlines called Insel Aruba. Some man that is running Aserca Airlines in Aruba named Elio wants to crank it up.
Hey Devon, it's been a while! Where are you now? Holland or Korsow? You sound like comment poster Pikaboo with the Bugs and Scooby remarks! Lol!
With reference to Insel, I have to see it to believe it. Business wise it doesn't make much sense. In the 90's the market could hardly sustain Air Aruba and ALM Antillean side by side. At a certain point they had to codeshare on flights between AUA and CUR. Now we have DAE, Insel, Tiara, Divi and stuff. The only one I can see with staying power is DAE and that's because they have financial backing from KLM and that Floris the Director is ex KLM, so runs the company with KLM core values.
Time will tell, I guess. Just hope the management is not as bad as Air Aruba who sold out to Aserca.
Ryan
Jammer van Air Aruba. Toen KLM nog ID95 uitgaf vloog ik vaak met LM en FQ tussen de ABC's. Ik vond FQ altijd een tikkie beter dan LM, vooral op de routes naar MIA als ik moest overstappen op MP naar AMS.
Moh
Hmm Scooby Doo didn't get to fly Air Aruba too often, because they never flew to SXM except the occasional charter. But I am an ALM boy. So Air Aruba... no offence Ryan.... just doesn't measure up to ALM.
Les
Ik zou ook wel een all-male crew willen hebben, hoor. Ik had een keer op Europa een all-female crew, dus ook de Captain en Co waren vrouwen. Ik kan je zeggen... bitches van voor naar achteren. Ik werk toch liever met de boys. Veel leuker. En als ze niet gay zijn, is het helemaal toppie, want dan maak ik nog een kans op een héél leuke lay-over. Met de accent op 'lay'. Hahahahaha!
Brigite
Jullie vrouwelijke Ca's zijn allemaal gek. Ik heb tot nu toe geen all-male crew gehad, maar de kans zit er ook niet dik in aangezien ik niet veel op EUR vlieg. ICA met een all-male of all-female is volgens mij nog nooit gebeurt.
Ryan
Hey little baby? Are you sucking your fingers on that picture where you are sleeping on the sofa?
