so frustrated

i just finished watching the full first season of my fave tv show from childhood "the adventues of sinbad" starring zen gesner as sinbad and jacqueline collen as maeve, sinbad's supposed love interest.

what's frustrating about it is the stories never really told the real score between the two. the first few episodes showed the development of the characters' feelings but the rest are all concentrated on adventures. sinbad even got more kisses with guest characters than with maeve! they kissed in the episode "the village vanishes" and the last episode of season one showed them about to kiss when firouz [played by tim progosh], the scientist of the group, interrupted them.

worse, in season two, maeve's character got axed, and i heard they introduced another girl called bryn in the story. i will try to watch season two. but i'm really frustrated that their love story never really flourished. it is one of the reasons why i watched the show anyway.

milkshake in a pub

poster in the ladies' restroom


went to a pub in narita downtown with a friend. she is meeting a half filipino half american first officer in our airline, their last meeting as they believe but i really doubt it.

i am not quite sure who her friend is talking to in the pub but he seems to be in authority that night. as non alcohol drinkers as we are, we jokingly asked for a milkshake and even suggested that he buy at a store on the other street. not wanting to disappoint his guests, he actually went out and buy us milk and ice cream for our milk shake!

and i honestly say it was very very delicious! i wonder how he made that? i tried once to make myself a milkshake but it tasted otherwise. then he made a second milkshake and it was even better than the last with hersheys in it. really nice. but then i got paranoid that he might have poured something or mixed alcohol in it, so i was not able to finish it off.

and the surprise in all that? a few customers came and asked what we were drinking...and you guessed it, they ordered the same thing! hahaha. it was unbelievable! a milkshake in a pub??? hehehe. we were convincing him to add it to their menu...we just have to check back.

P.S. the pub's name The Jetlag Club. most aircrew who stay in narita go there for a drink. don't really know if it is qualified as a pub but the place reminds me of the word.

airline crew doesn't really get stamps from the immigrations officer when they get in and out of a particular country -but with some unbelievable struck of luck, the immig officer from sydney stamped my passport with one most the most important dates of the year for me..the date of my birthday! it was such a sweet gift i couldn't thank God enough for all the luck and happy things that happened on that day. simply extraordinary!
