Manage your booking with the Cathay Pacific mobile app

I was in transit at Hong Kong International on the way to Cambodia.

Cathay Pacific is one of those airlines in which you may check-in online to reserve a seat.

Of course, there is now an app for that.

The app provides information on the following:

flight status
booking details (when you don't want to carry a printed e-ticket)
what you can't carry on board

I found this helpful since all NAIA terminals were closed a day before my scheduled departure.

The flight went as scheduled. Having the app and flashing it to the pretty lady at the check-in counter makes you look like a frequent flyer. I am not.

I also wanted to carry a cigarette lighter on board. The app said it was kinda fine. I didn't bring one anyway and just bought in Cambodia for $0.25.

The app user interface is straightforward. I got a bit lost in the part where you choose your seats since the plane was huge. It had two aisles along with business class. I just let the app choose the seat for me. It was an aisle seat.

At any rate, I still would recommend managing your booking through the app instead of desktop.

Cause and Effect

It's because the earth continues to wobble on its axis that we continue to stumble down the streets of the heart. It's because of the loneliness of the first cell trying to swim through its primordial pool that we are filled with a kind of galactic fear. For example: one moment a rocket falls capriciously into a square. Another moment, a rogue wave turns over the fishing boat whose crew leaves their memories floating like an oil slick that never reaches shore. In this way we understand our dying loves scratching at the door. In this way, each love creates its own theory of pain. Each love gnaws the derelict hours to the bone. But because there are so many blank spaces in history we still have time to write our own story. Wittgenstein said our words have replaced our emotions. He never understood how we have to cleanse ourselves of these invisible parasites of doubt and fear. We might as well worry about the signals from dead worlds wandering around the universe forever. Think i...

Phrases for Public Speakers at Sea

by M. B. Powell We ought, first of all, to note her oceanic eyes flecked with sea wrack. And we should pause to consider the wavy wilderness of her damp hair. I will not dwell on her cheeks ruddy under my thumbstrokes. I will not attempt to explain the shapely abalone shells of her ears. I wish to call your attention to the cunning animal of her mouth, muscular. I wish to say something about the mollusky dark language of her kisses. I am obliged to mention her sudden breasts, breaching, rhythmic. And I am perfectly astounded at her finger charting my lips round her nipple. Here, in this connection, let us notice her nipple against the roof of my mouth. Here, in passing, let us observe ...
