Getting to Lima, Peru, is challenging, first SIA couldnt tag my bag to Lima then they found 'a leak' on the plane from Narita to Houston, so it was delayed for 2 hour. Customs at Houston took over 1 hr. And i missed my connecting flight to Lima. Haha. The next flight out? 1 day later.
So...continnental put me up at a nice hotel near the airport, with complimentary dinner, breakfast and lunch...so far need not spend a extra dime during the one day delay. What more I get to claim for travel insurance! haha, this is the main purpose for my purhcase of travel insurance, while in queue during transit, i was busy reading the many many terms and conditions stated on my travel insurance written in (i think) font size 6.
I guess i'll just continue to expect lots of distruptions to this trip, and rejoice when everything falls into place :)
Saw that the hotel gym is open, maybe i should exercise....who am I joking! Going back to my warm soft bed for my post- (complimentary) breakfast, pre-lunch nap. Mom told me there's no need to bring a belt, she's sure i'll fill out my jeans soon. Momma's right. Haha.
By the way, finally watched Forest Gump yesterday on flight. What a wonderful movie. Love the quote 'My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." '
Leap Year starring the beautiful Amy Adams is a delightful little movie, super sweet, yet not (yet) nauseating. From the movie, when a bride was toasting the groom, "May you never steal, lie, or cheat, but if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows, and if you must lie, lie with me all the nights of my life, and if you must cheat, then please cheat death because I couldn't live a day without you. Cheers! " awww....
haha. Lastly, got to watch Gambling Apocalypse (Kaiji) on flight. The simple idea that overconsuming and debt is the woes of all the 'losers' on board is such a powerful idea. We can work our butt off, but if we are overspending, we'll be forever getting into more debt. As our ovespending grow in proportion to our income, your absolute amount of debt will grow. There will be a tipping point where interest on debt will consume our entire income, this is where we'll forever be stuck in our-homemade hell.
Conversely, there'll be a point where interest on asset return will outstrip our total expense. Nope, this will not be homemade heaven. But life if hard enough as it is, there'll no need to inflict more pain on it ourselves.
Ok, back to my nap. Maybe i'll blog in Spanish next time. It'll consist of 4 words, No, Si, Gracias. Muahaha.
Adios!
