Jan. 20th, 2006 @ 02:49 pm The Ant's HKG Disneyland birthday
This Entry's Dive Stats

My eldest daughter Gabby will turn five this Sunday, January 22, 2006, and she'll spend her birthday in Hong Kong disneyland with the whole family. Finally reaping the benefits of my new job - free airticket for me and 75% off for the rest of the family, though I have to pay full fare for the nanny of my one year old baby Luis. Temperature has been falling lately in Hong Kong to 11 degrees celsius, quite cold for us who are so used to the tropical conditions of the Philippines. We'll do a quick visit to the mall tonight to buy sweater for the kids. Hardly enough time to pack as our flight is leaving tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock.

I sincerely hope that this will be an unforgettable birthday for Gabby. Happy birthday Gabby and always remember that mommy and daddy love you so much :-)

Today is my last day at my old job...almost eight years of lawyering for different corporations...and almost eight years of fun and grief. By 6:30 pm tonight I will forever close this chapter in my life leaving behind a job that I'm so used to do for almost eight years. Goodbye to my colleagues and staff, goodbye office and goodbye litigation.

Monday, November 7, 2005 will be an entirely new world for me. I will take on a new role...more administrative functions...and more active participation in the management of the business. I will not be required to think of anything but airplanes, airlines, airports, aircraft engines and anything relating to aviation. Working in said industry, which has been my passion for a long time,is really a dream come true for me.

Goodluck to me on my new job!
