It's about one AM, Saturday here. Moe and I landed in Manila International an hour ago. We got through customs super-fast (compared to DC), and are staying in the passenger lounge until our ride arrives. Manny is extremely late. I called him and he explained that no one told him we were arriving tonight much less the time of our flight's arrival. Hmmm. Someone dropped the ball there. Will investigate on Monday.
Ah well. Manny said he's at least an hour away. That's okay - gives me time to post this.
Also, it'll give Moe a chance to nap. Almost twenty hours in the air, plus two stopovers and muy uncomfortable seats can really tucker you out. Not to mention the impending problem of jet lag (yes, it's true - even just a week in a different time zone can change one's circadian clock).
So, I am here sipping on a Coffee Bean uploading this, waiting.
Looking at myself in the mirror, it is apparently true that one really does need "beauty sleep" (except for my Moe, of course lol). But, taking a cue from Moe, you can fake it by washing your face clean and combing out your hair. I am one of those with slightly oily hair, but I found that is actually an advantage since the oil can give your hair body, provided you brush it out a lot. And I mean a LOT.
So, while Moe-Moe took her nappy-nap, I went to the bathroom, meticulously washed my face, dried myself equally meticulously, and used my brush to smoothen out my hair, get rid of tangles and fluff it up. With the oiliness (eww), it was like built-in mousse, and my hair looked great after all the brushing. And as many know, fixing your hair's about eighty percent of the battle. I brushed and brushed my hair until I could feel my scalp tingle. But my hair looked great.
Another tip from Moe - if you can't find a change of clothes, take off your top, shake it out, re-tuck, re-rebutton, re-everything. So besides airing it out (again, I say eww), your crumpled top will only look slightly crumpled.
So I went to a cubicle, unsnapped my skirt, took off my bodysuit top, shook it out and (I spritzed myself first with eau de parfum lol) put it back on, snapping the snaps at the crotch and then putting my skirt back on.
A little lipstick and viola! I now look like a million bucks! Or, maybe just a sleepy half-million...
I think I'll have a little nap as well, and ask the attendant to wake me when our ride arrives.
Guess I'll blog some more next time. Seeya laterzzzzzz...
