Air hostess / crew school. Is it worth it.
Now we have had numerous discourse on the paucity of some part of the Philippine higher education system including comment on never get the girl to do HRM and Tourism courses (I agree). Some know this way better than I do but I have some experience also.
But what about the flight attendant schools who offer it seems a 2 year course to help the cuties be an air hosty? Seems plenty schools around some in the provinces.
I ask as some I have been chatting with say they are going to do this but my initial; reaction is many are too small and don't meet the height qualification let alone is this really a proper education and will it really be recognized by Cebu Pac, Air Asia, or other big carriers. For me the answer is no as the larger carriers (eg Emirates, Cathy etc) have their own recruitment policy and test and would pay scant attention to a 'degree or diploma' from a provincial Philippine establishment.
Maybe others have first hand knowledge but my instinct is to tell them be careful find a proper qualification.
Just asking LOL.
How to get a Phil GF out of her country?
Hello,
I have seen many post about the way to spend holidays with a Phil girl in another country, and some troubles that could arise at customs or police checks when leaving Phil.
I understand that if you pay her ticket and travel together, then police can ask many questions about how long do you know her, why, when, etc.
But I wonder if another scenario is possible.
What if we pay for her ticket, and ask her to travel alone and meet her in the other country, I am speaking mainly about SEA countries, like Cambodia, Bali, Vietnam, etc. ?
Is police checking why she can travel? To meet who? Who paid for her ticket? Etc. Or will she able to travel on her own if she has the right valid passport?
And I experienced also that when you pay for her, with your foreign credit card, there are checkings in the travel company system that could reject your payment for possible fraud (may be suspicion of stolen card) as it happens once for me for a local flight with Cebu Pacific. So inthat case, to avoid that, my idea would be to go to Phil first, buy the ticket with cash and with her to a travel office, and then travel on same flight, but witout showing that we are together, so she will travel on her own, with her ticket and passport.
Do you think this will work?
Do you think its still possible to just pay for ticket from abroad and wait for her at destination outside phil?
Many question there. But your experience will be appreciated.
Pretty sensible Advice re phones.
[QUOTE=Transporter;2297457]I was reading some reports about cp in other threads, but thought I would write a general reply here in the general info. Here are my thoughts:
Have a dedicated phone for your travel adventures, never use your home phone for your interaction abroad. As soon as you get to your place of stay, store it away safely with your passport. Cp's can easily be lost, damaged, or stolen and chances are your primary cp has a lot of apps, contacts, correspondence, and data that would not be good to go missing. It is normally quite expensive, and has a lot of info that you don't want to get public. Very seriously think about getting a dedicated travel phone.
Load all the apps you need on your dedicated phone, so you don't need to pull your primary out to do anything but check stuff back home in private.
A CP in manila is like the status symbol. A cp in PI is like a car back home. Initial impressions of yourself will come from the way you look, dress, speak, reside, and what cp you use. Take careful consideration when selecting your cp.
Absolutely buy a cp that has dual SIM. Preferable dual SIM independent of external storage. Some cp has SIM1 and SIM2/ external storage. It would be best to have a cp that can use both SIM slots and the external storage. It is important to have 2 SIM slots so that you will be able to get 2 cp numbers, 1 in Globe (most popular among girls) and the other in Smart. The reason for this is that texting across networks cost pesos, so some girls will not text you if you are not on the same network. Also depending upon location some networks are stronger or has better LTE which is necessary for wifi. Make sure your cp has personal hotspot so you can use and share wifi..[/QUOTE]Pretty sensible advice re phones. Almost all SIMs sold in Phils now will be LTE so one less thing to be worried about. Get a Smart and Globe SIM if you have a dual sim phone as Sun is the same group co as Smart. OPPO specializes in having a relative good camera fro the price point, its sister company Vivo was initially supposed to optimise sound quality. Both tend to be weak on battery life. Personally I prefer Xiaomi which is good bang for the buck and offers some models such as the Mi Max with outstanding battery life.
