Kulula is a low-cost South-African airline that doesn't take itself too seriously. Check out their new livery! And have a read about their Customer Relations.






























WHAT A PITY KULULA DOESN'T FLY INTERNATIONALLY - WE SHOULD SUPPORT THEM IF ONLY FOR THEIR HUMOUR - SO TYPICALLY SOUTH AFRICAN.

Kulula is an Airline with head office situated in Johannesburg . Kulula airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining.
Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:
On a Kulula flight, (there is no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced,
"People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!"
---o0o---
On another flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said,
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."
----o0o---
On landing, the stewardess said,
"Please be sure to take all of your belongings.. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have."
----o0o---
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane."
---o0o---
"Thank you for flying Kulula. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."
---o0o---
As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Durban Airport , a lone voice came over the loudspeaker:
"Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"
---o0o--
After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in the Karoo , a flight attendant on a flight announced,
"Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."
---o0o---
From a Kulula employee:
"Welcome aboard Kulula 271 to Port Elizabeth . To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."
---o0o---
"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick your favorite."
---o0o---
"Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Kulula Airlines."
----o0o---
"Your seats cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."
---o0o---
"As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.."
---o0o---
And from the pilot during his welcome message:
"Kulula Airlines is pleased to announce that we have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"
---o0o�
Heard on Kulula 255 just after a very hard landing in Cape Town : The flight attendant came on the intercom and said,
"That was quite a bump and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt."
---o0o�
Overheard on a Kulula flight into Cape Town , on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain really had to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said,
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to The Mother City. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"
---o0o�
Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
---o0o�
An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying our airline". He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said,
"Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"Why, no Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?"
The little old lady said,
"Did we land, or were we shot down?"
---o0o�
After a real crusher of a landing in Johannesburg , the attendant came on with,
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we will open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.."
---o0o�
Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement:
"We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today.. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of Kulula Airways."
---o0o�
Heard on a Kulula flight:
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing.. If you can light 'em, you can smoke 'em."
---o0o---

Ex

So I've been talking with my second girlfriend since the other day. Can't believe that we'd talk about stuff after over 5 years of not communicating.

What's weird is we talk about "us" way back then. Fortunately, we're both mature enough to talk about it and even joke about it.

She has a boyfriend who is in Dubai, so..

I forgot how we called each other when we were still in a relationship. When I asked her, she said that we'd call each other "Honey" or "Hon."

Babe, Hon, Geng, Babe/Hon.

It's a trend of mine, I guess.

The Break-Up

It's amazing how break-ups lead to you the most unused part of your brain.

I've read that in order to move on faster, I should do something that will distract me. I should either read, work-out, play sports, whatever things that I will do so that I will not think about the past. Or something.

As for me, I'm gonna go with playing the guitar and writing.

I have never been better with the guitar. I can now fingerpick using almost all my fingers. And my left wrist doesn't hurt that bad anymore.

And of course, a friendly lady also helped in the cause.

Maybe that's why I'm back to playing the guitar again. This lady.

She fascinates me in ways I could have never imagined. It turns out that we almost have the same hobbies.

Whatever.

I'm gonna go back with the music.

Guitar

I've been playing the guitar for almost a decade now but I'm still not good at it!

I think I just had my fingers locked while I was fingerpicking Train's Marry Me.

But I'll not give up!

Lack of Self Respect

I hacked into someone's Facebook account and viewed my ex's profile. Looks to me that she is now in a relationship.

Good for her.

I'll let you in on a secret. I am somehow disappointed that I was already replaced in less than a month. Well I don't really know how many days exactly but I did the math, in which I took into massive consideration the relativity of our emotions.

Okay, I'm gonna say it again here. I "found" her via FB during the time when she and her former bf were uncertain about their relationship. She was fragile, so vulnerable that I had a hard time picking up the pieces of what's left of her. But one thing I did not do was to take advantage of her.

I waited for several months, prolly four months, before revealing to her my feelings. I made sure that she wouldn't think that her possible feelings for me were out of the fact that I was the one who was making her happy during her "hurting" moments. I did things that were of context. My methods were by the books.

She's one of the special girls that I fell in love with. However, even though she maybe is the perfect girl for me, I still calculated my moves. I thought of hundreds of what ifs. I wasn't sure about "us" but I took a stab at it.

Four months into our "official" relationship, she had to leave me so that she could work in the capital. A few weeks there and she obtained, [obtained? whatever] , an admirer.

I guess I should have seen it coming.

That admirer is now her boyfriend. Fortunately for him, the pieces that was left of her after our relationship wasn't so hard to complete because she laid it out for him.

Now this is what's bothering me; why did they go into that level of their relationship when they barely knew each other? I mean, yes, they work together for a couple months; probably dated a few times; but that isn't really reason for leveling up a relationship, is it?

I mean, we're Filipinos. I am almost sure that the tradition of courtship is still there.

Whatever.

Both of them may actually deserve each other. One smelled blood and went after it while she's vulnerable. The other wasn't able to respect herself that she didn't give time to think about her emotions, but rather indulge into it.

I've been wanting to write my rant but I can't seem to organize my ideas until now.

Good luck to them.

I was bitter before I wrote this. Now, the feeling is gone.

My Amnesia Girl

The census says that at least 11 million people live in Metro Manila. With all these people, how would you be able to tell who is the one for you?

What if you took no notice of him when he passed?

You might have been busy tying your shoelaces when she walked by.

He might have stood beside you when you checked the traffic light.

You might have seen her in front of you, if the pedicab didn't block your view.

Among everyone here, some have been lucky to find the one. Some are still searching. Others have given up. But the worst of them all, is if you already found the one, but let it pass.

Imagine this: If the one for you arrives just once in your life, would you pass this up now that it's in front of you?

==========================

Naniniwala ka ba sa love at first sight? Eh at second sight?

Akala ko camera ako, napapangiti kita eh!

Baka hindo kana makakauwi mamaya, kasi nasa isip na kita eh!

Para kang kuto, lage kang nasa ulo ko.

Ihi, yung di kita matiis.

Alam mo kung bola ka, hindi kita kayang i.shoot. Kasi lage kitang ma mimiss.

Para kang tae, di kita kayang paglaruan.

Thank you, Lord, ha. Pan de sal lang naman ang hinihingi ko, bingyan mo naman ako ng hamburger, me fries pa.

Sana naging pabango ka na lang, para araw araw kitang suot

=========================

Of course, true love is meant for the brave ones!

If only I can ease the pain I caused her with my embrace, I would have her in my arms until she heals.

I just want to see her smiling again. I just want to tell her not to cry. That not everyone is like me. I want her to believe that someone has the capacity to love her, who will not leave her, or betray her, or ever make her cry... But I can take care of myself. What's improtant is her. That she shouldn't close her doors on loving again.

==========================

Ba't mo ba kasi hinihintay ang isang tao? Kasi gusto mo siya.

Isipin mo nalang na may power tayong mag time travel. Uulit tayo sa simula ng unang taon mo. Papalitan nating ang lahat ng memories na nawala sa'yo. Mula ngayon, lahat ng

memories mo, bago, masaya, buo.

Sabi kasi nila, pagka nakapikit ka raw, duon mo malalaman ang tutuong nararamdaman mo. Sana, Irene, ngayong araw, hindi na puro sakit at galit ang laman niyan; sana may saya narin.

===========================

Tumatankad ka ba? Kasi dati, nasa balikat lang kita, ngayon nasa isip na kita.

Lumiliit ka ba? Kasi dati nandito kana sa isip ko, ngayon nandito kana sa puso ko.

23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28.. "Oh, Pol, kulang!" "Ako sana yung pang 28 eh. Merry Christmas!"

Alam mo bang pwede kitang idedemanda ng trespassing. Kasi kung basta basta ka na lang pumapasok sa isip ko eh!

Bumili ka na ng salbabida dali! Baka kasi malulunod ka sa pagmamahal ko.

==========================

Kung may uulitin ako sa buhay ko, gusto ko ulitin yung araw na nakilala kita. Kahit ilang beses, kahit paulit ulit, kahit habang buhay pa. Kung papayagan mo.

==========================

Hayaan mong umiyak yan, magandang gamot yan sa sore eyes. May sore eyes ang puso niyan ngayon eh, pero pag naghilom ang sugat at nawala ang puwing, eh makikita niya ang sagot. Kung bakit niya binalikan si Irene at kung bakit pakakawalan ulit.

==========================

Ba't mo ba kasi hinihintay ang isang tao? Kasi mahal mo siya.

Pulis ako. Kasi ikaw ang most wanted ko eh!

Ikaw naman pintura, kasi binibigyan mo ng kulay ang buhay ko.

O dictionary, kasi you give meaning to my life.

Alarm clock ka ba? kasi ginising mo ang natutulog kong puso eh.

Minaso mu ba yang mga mata mo? Kasi nakakamatay ang mga tingin mo eh.

Alam mu kung cactus ka, okay lang kung masusugatan ako, mayakap lang kita.

Ano nga ang blood type mo?

Type A, ikaw?

Type ko.

Sana pirated CD ka na lang. Para pa ulit ulit mung sasabihin na mahal mo ako.

Bagay sayo suot mo ha. Pero mas bagay ako sayo.

Hika ka ba? Kasi you take my breath away.

Nasan ka kagabi? Ahh kaya pala wala ka sa panaginip ko.

Kung ulan ka, lupa ako. Sa ayaw at sa gusto mo, sa akin pa rin ang bagsak mo.

Baka ikaw yung bagyo, ang lakas kasi ng dating mo eh.

May MMDA ba dito? Kasi nagka banggaan yung mga puso natin!

Baka gusto mung kumandidato, boto na kasi sayo tatay ko.

Ice ka ba? Kasi gusto kitang iCrush!

Pala ka ba? Ang lakas kasi ng tama ko sayo eh.

Ikaw ba Meralco, kasi may liwanag ang buhay ko pag kasama ka.

Pwede ba kitang abutin? Ikaw kasi ang pangarap ko eh.

Ibenta nyo na kasi ang bahay nyo, eh libre ka naman kasi tumira sa puso ko.

Kung gusto mo, pwede kang maging driver ko, para ikaw na ang magpapatakbo ng buhay ko.

Maging magic carpet ka nalang, kasi you took me to a whole new world!

San mu gustong ikasal? Ako kasi sa tabi mo eh.

Ikaw para kang teleserye, eh kasi nakakaadik kang subaybayan.

Ikaw naman sine, ang sarap mu kasing panoorin.

127 Hours

This isn't a review for the movie or anything because I am not really good at that. I'm leaving that to the experts.

Check this review though; the interest I had in this movie sky rocketed after I watched this review. Click here!

I had the same trepidation Aron Ralston (played by James Franco) had when that boulder crushed half of his right arm. When he finally decided to just cut off that arm on the fifth day, I almost couldn't stomach the scene. But it made me realize something.

An amazing lesson can be learned from the mountaineer's experience with the boulder: You just shouldn't quit!

So what if you have no more right arm, you still have the left!

I mean, life shouldn't stop when you realize that you have this boulder on your right arm or there is this huge obstacle that's stopping you from doing what you wanted to do most!

Right now, I can't walk properly because I am still recuperating from the surgery I had early this month. I admit, it is stopping me from doing what I really love because I kinda involves walking. Well, it involves running, climbing, and jumping, too! A Civil Engineer absolutely needs his legs especially when he's out on the field.

Yeah, someday. And soon!!

It's about finding your passion. And of course, telling somebody where you will be going or else you will end up like the guy. Or worse; no one will be able to help you and you will die a horrible, horrible death. ^_^

But what the frakk was up with the cutting and the bloody mess he made with his arm!? @_@

Emotional as it is Physical

Just when I have this intense physical pain, an emotional one ensues.

Deep in this fragile heart lies but a hundred, no, thousands of feelings that have been kept over the years. The pain of a new one brings no more harm to the senses because it has been made numb.

The humiliation of not being able to keep up with the modern times has far more pierced the already weak mind.

Frustration has been allowed to pass and therefore brought forth the sturdiness of the heart. Has it been sturdy enough? If assessed by the naked eye, yes. But if looked deeper, the core has begun to crumble. In one snap of the finger, the barrier that was built around to subjugate the nastiness of the heart will spread throughout the body, making it weak, making it wither.

Anger was never, in the first place, a cause. It has been long forgotten ever since I was taught to put everything in the heart. Everything, including the excitement of success or the depression that failure brings or the fire that one person causes may it be good or bad.

But one thing I ask; what about love? Has it ever brought change? Has it reinforced the gates that was supposed to contain the evil within? Has it brought enough faith that I may succeed in whatever endeavor and with whom I pleased to share it?
