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.

Remembering Evelio Javier

Some of our heroes may have been more brilliant or achieved more greatly, but I find it hard to think of any who lived more purely and more single mindedly than Evelio... his commitment to democracy, to social justice and to a life among the poor in our land. Februay 11, 2009 in Panay Island, Philippines is Evelio B. Javier Day. It is the 22nd Anniversary of the assassination of Evelio Javier. It was a stunning and decisive event towards our eventual liberation from Martial Law later that February 1986. Many in our Ateneo community remember meeting Evelio’s body at the airport two days later, and the Mass and the long march from Baclaran to the Ateneo de Manila on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1986. We had a Mass at sunset in the field beside the Blue Eagle Gym and ended the Mass with the electrifying experience of hearing Fr. Jose A. Cruz, S.J. read for the first time in public the letter of the CBCP on the elections. Evelio B. Javier was born to Everardo Autajay Javier of Hamtic and ...

When I Met U

Some of the devices used in the story to separate the pair are actually dated and had been done by the mother of Leonor Rivera when she broke her daughter’s romance with Jose Rizal. But instead of intercepting letters, it is the cell phone STAR BYTES By Butch Francisco Updated February 12, 2009 12:00 AM In the story, Richard and KC get stranded on a deserted island for a night on their way to a wedding in Palawan. Even if there is initial dislike for each other in the beginning, they still end up having a romance (but, of course — this is a love story!). The trouble is — they are committed to other people: Richard to Iya Villania and KC to Alfred Vargas. From the start there is already a doubt in Richard’s heart about his love for Iya and so we see that their relationship is brittle. From KC’s end, it is easy to understand why she had mixed feelings for Alfred: He is controlling, cold and has no sense of humor. In other words, he is boring. Their proble...
