I bet you're wondering how I ended up here.

你一定很好奇我怎麼會在這裡。

Well, this is me getting taken directly to the aircraft for my flight that I should have missed.

這是我被直接送上飛機，準備搭乘本應錯過的班機。

Today, I woke up from Emirates calling me.

今天，我從阿聯酋航空的召喚中醒來。

Because yep, I slept in.

因為是的，我睡過頭了。

If you've ever had this moment, you'll know.

如果你有過這樣的經歷，你就會明白。

Your stomach drops.

你的胃在咕咕叫

Your mind stops working.

你的大腦停止工作

It's pure panic.

這純粹是恐慌。

Yet somehow I made it to Emirates HQ within 20 minutes, walking through our crew passport gates with only seconds left before they were going to remove me from my Manila flight.

然而，不知何故，我在 20 分鐘內就趕到了阿聯酋航空總部，在他們準備將我從馬尼拉班機上帶走之前，我只用了幾秒鐘就通過了機組人員的護照關口。

Now don't get me wrong, we're all human.

別誤會，我們都是人。

But if you're marked absent for a flight at Emirates, it's big trouble.

但如果你在阿聯酋航空的班機上被標記為缺席，那麻煩就大了。

Two of these within a year means warnings and bye bye any chance of the bonus.

一年內出現兩次這樣的情況，就意味著被警告，獎金也就沒戲了。

And let's not talk about if you get three.

先不說你能不能拿到三張。

I think I spent the whole flight in shock, and when we finally got to the crew hotel, my body felt exhausted.

我想我整個飛行過程都處於震驚之中，當我們終於到達機組人員酒店時，我的身體感覺疲憊不堪。

Like every part of me was drained from all that stress.

就像我的每一部分都被所有的壓力耗盡了。

I honestly just wanted to go to bed, but there was more.

老實說，我只想上床睡覺，但事情還沒完。

When I got into my room, the entryway and bathroom had water everywhere.

當我進入房間時，入口處和浴室到處都是水。

Of course, I called reception, they sent maintenance, and I was told they were going to move me to a new room.

當然，我給前臺打了電話，他們派來了維修人員，並告訴我他們會給我換一個房間。

I waited 45 minutes, still in uniform, not being able to do anything, before I finally got my new room.

我等了 45 分鐘，還是穿著制服，什麼也做不了，最後才終於等到了我的新房間。

But everything was coming up Milhouse, because the hotel were so sorry for what had happened, they gave me a 4,000 Philippine Peso voucher, which is like $100 for all my Aussies out there, to be able to spend on any food and drink within the hotel.

但一切都很順利，因為酒店對所發生的事情感到非常抱歉，他們給了我一張 4000 菲律賓比索的代金券，這對所有澳大利亞人來說相當於 100 美元，可以在酒店內的任何食品和飲料上消費。

I could not believe this, because that was like double our meal allowance with Emirates.

我簡直不敢相信，因為這相當於我們在阿聯酋航空用餐限額的兩倍。

Plus, I hadn't even brought any food with me as Manila customs are quite strict.

此外，由於馬尼拉的海關相當嚴格，我甚至沒有帶任何食物。

To add to this, the flights were terrible times in and out, so I was actually unsure if I wanted to do anything on this layover.

更糟糕的是，進出港的班機時間都很糟糕，所以我其實不確定自己是否想在這次停留期間做些什麼。

So from what I thought was yet another unlucky thing happening to me today, I had actually been weirdly, really lucky.

所以，從我以為今天發生在我身上的又一件倒黴事來看，我其實是非常非常幸運的。

So I'll take the wins when I can, but for now, let me show you my skincare routine and how I take off all this makeup.

所以，我會在有機會的時候贏下比賽，但現在，讓我向你們展示一下我的護膚程序，以及我是如何卸妝的。

Even though I'd been flying for 3 years before Emirates, I hadn't had the same issues with my skin.

儘管我在阿聯酋航空之前已經飛了三年，但我的皮膚一直沒有出現過同樣的問題。

I don't know whether it's the poor sleep schedule, the aircraft air, how long I'm wearing my makeup for, or anything that's in my diet, but I'm doing what I can to manage it, so I've been using this spot treatment.

我不知道是睡眠時間太少、飛機上的空氣、化妝時間太長，還是我的飲食有什麼問題，但我一直在盡我所能控制它，所以我一直在使用這款斑點護理產品。

I won't say it works wonders, but it definitely feels like it dries up my pimples and makes the healing process a little bit quicker.

我不敢說它有奇效，但它確實能讓我的痘痘變幹，讓癒合過程變得更快一些。

You have no idea how excited I was for this.

你不知道我有多興奮。

I rarely order room service at the hotels, so the fact I had a pretty large amount to I think it was time to check out the menu.

我很少在酒店點客房服務，所以我覺得是時候看看菜單了。

I honestly love how easy hotels are getting.

老實說，我很喜歡酒店變得如此簡單。

I didn't even have to call to order.

我甚至都不用打電話訂餐。

I just selected everything I wanted through their website, which came up as soon as I connected to their free Wi-Fi.

我只是通過他們的網站選擇了我想要的一切，只要我連接上他們的免費無線網絡，網站就會出現。

And FYI, as a flight attendant, free Wi-Fi is pretty much always included in our stays.

順便提一下，作為一名空乘人員，我們的住宿基本都包含免費 Wi-Fi 服務。

But not everyone knows the danger of free Wi-Fi.

但並非每個人都知道免費 Wi-Fi 的危險。

And that is where Surfshark VPN comes in.

這就是 Surfshark VPN 的用武之地。

They are one of the most trusted VPN companies with the strictest security measures.

他們是最值得信賴的 VPN 公司之一，擁有最嚴格的安全措施。

And if you didn't know, a VPN creates a secure and hidden connection between your devices and the internet, meaning it stops your data being leaked, saving you from things like identity theft, fraudulent purchases, or even having your social media accounts hacked.

如果你不知道，VPN 可以在你的設備和互聯網之間建立一個安全、隱蔽的連接，這意味著它可以阻止你的數據被洩露，使你免於身份盜竊、欺詐性購物，甚至社交媒體賬戶被黑客攻擊。

Surfshark also protects you from annoying pop-up ads that might even contain viruses.

Surfshark 還能保護您免受惱人的彈出式廣告的侵害，這些廣告甚至可能含有病毒。

And if you'll believe me, it even blocks your camera from being accessed without you knowing.

如果你相信我，它甚至能阻止你的攝像頭在你不知情的情況下被訪問。

Which I'm just saying is literally so terrifying.

我想說的是，這簡直太可怕了。

So this is why it's an absolute non-negotiable for me to always have my Surfshark VPN on at any time, anywhere.

是以，對我來說，隨時隨地打開 Surfshark VPN 是絕對不允許的。

Now just to lighten the mood just a little bit, I absolutely love watching TV shows, probably like a lot of you out there.

現在，我想稍微緩和一下氣氛，我絕對喜歡看電視節目，可能和你們中的很多人一樣。

But as I'm always traveling, my Netflix actually changes depending on where I am.

但由於我總是在旅行，我的 Netflix 實際上會根據我所在的地方而改變。

So what I'm watching in the UAE might not actually be available when I'm traveling to places like Manila.

是以，當我去馬尼拉等地旅行時，我在阿聯酋收看的節目實際上可能無法收看。

Or better yet, some of my favorite TV shows like How I Met Your Mother are only available in certain locations.

或者更好的是，我最喜歡的一些電視節目，比如《我如何遇見你母親》（How I Met Your Mother），只能在某些地方播放。

So with Surfshark, I can actually change my location to one of a hundred different countries and my device will think I'm actually in that country.

是以，有了 Surfshark，我實際上可以將我的位置更改為一百個不同國家中的一個，而我的設備會認為我確實在那個國家。

And did I mention that Surfshark has unlimited devices, which means I can be on my iPad and watching something on my laptop at the same time with complete peace of mind.

我有沒有提到，Surfshark 的設備不受限制，這意味著我可以同時在 iPad 和筆記本電腦上觀看視頻，完全不用擔心。

Honestly, it's a no-brainer.

老實說，這是毋庸置疑的。

Plus, you can use my code AMANDAK and get an extra four months for free on your plan.

此外，您還可以使用我的代碼 AMANDAK 獲得額外四個月的免費計劃。

And just to top it off, Surfshark has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

最重要的是，Surfshark 提供 30 天退款保證。

As always, the link is in my description below.

一如既往，鏈接在我下面的描述中。

Go check it out.

去看看吧

Now, let's go run a bath and wait for my room service.

現在，我們去洗個澡，等客房服務吧。

I've had this bath bomb in my bag for so long because even though we have a bath back in Dubai, I swear I never have time to take one.

我把這個浴霸放在包裡很久了，因為雖然我們在迪拜有浴室，但我發誓我從來沒有時間洗過澡。

And it's the same on my layovers because usually I have these crazy plans.

我在中途停留時也是這樣，因為我通常會有一些瘋狂的計劃。

Also, this guy was so sweet.

另外，這傢伙也很可愛。

I swear all Filipino people are so kind and I've actually never had a bad experience on a flight to the Philippines.

我發誓，所有菲律賓人都是那麼善良，我在飛往菲律賓的班機上從未有過糟糕的經歷。

Even just looking at this is genuinely making me so relaxed.

哪怕只是看一眼，都會讓我感到由衷的放鬆。

If you saw on my phone, I ended up going with the plant-based burger and chocolate dessert.

如果你從我的手機上看到，我最終選擇了植物漢堡和巧克力甜點。

I also got a berry smoothie, but swapped out the regular milk for coconut milk.

我還買了一份漿果冰沙，但把普通牛奶換成了椰奶。

Honestly, even if you're not vegan, you should try this.

老實說，即使你不是素食主義者，也應該試試這個。

Coconut milk and yogurt in smoothies is pure flavor heaven.

用椰奶和酸奶做冰沙是純粹的風味天堂。

Also, do you normally put the room service dishes outside your room straight away or leave them for when they come clean?

另外，您通常是直接將客房服務餐具放在房間外面，還是留待他們清洗時再用？

Honestly, I was so tired, so I left them there and passed out.

老實說，我實在太累了，就把它們留在那裡，然後昏睡過去。

Now, as Cabin Crew, nearly every hotel we stay at do a special deal for us on the buffet breakfast.

現在，作為機艙乘務員，我們下榻的幾乎每家酒店都會為我們提供特別優惠的自助早餐。

Some still aren't worth it, but Manila is already an affordable city tied in with our crew discount and we're really cooking.

但馬尼拉已經是一個經濟實惠的城市了，再加上我們的船員折扣，我們真的要好好烹飪了。

For those of you that haven't done a hotel breakfast before or are just intrigued to see what different hotels offer, I'm going to take you around with me to show you what they have.

如果您以前沒有吃過酒店早餐，或者只是對不同酒店提供的早餐感到好奇，我將帶您參觀一下這些酒店的早餐。

Okay, does anyone else get a little overwhelmed with buffet breakfast or is it just me?

好吧，有沒有人對自助早餐有點不知所措，還是隻有我？

All these choices are insane.

所有這些選擇都太瘋狂了。

Honestly, I used to be really bad at deciding on what to eat.

老實說，我以前真的不擅長決定吃什麼。

I don't know why, but I'm someone that would rather have a bite of everything than have to choose just one thing.

我不知道為什麼，但我是一個寧可什麼都吃一口，也不願意只選一樣東西的人。

Being vegan though has definitely helped this as usually there's nowhere near as many choices for us.

不過，成為素食主義者肯定會對這一點有所幫助，因為我們通常沒有那麼多的選擇。

And even though all the desserts look unreal, it also helps me from giving in and eating literally every single one of them.

儘管所有的甜點看起來都不真實，但它也能幫我避免屈服，吃下每一道甜點。

Also how good is the service here?

另外，這裡的服務如何？

I was just looking and this lady was straight to ask if I wanted some bread cut.

我只是隨便看看，這位女士就直接問我要不要切面包。

So this was the first of my choices from the buffet.

是以，這是我在自助餐中的第一個選擇。

Now I was brainstorming from everything I had seen so far and then I spotted the trusty oat side.

現在，我正在對迄今為止所看到的一切進行頭腦風暴，然後我發現了值得信賴的燕麥面。

I swear this oat milk is everywhere.

我發誓，這種燕麥牛奶到處都是。

It made me realise I could make a killer cereal bowl.

這讓我意識到，我也能做出絕妙的麥片碗。

And of course, it wouldn't be complete without some fresh fruit.

當然，沒有新鮮水果也是不完整的。

You best believe I ordered one of these.

你最好相信我訂了一個。

Next, I actually went back to order some sushi as the chefs were really happy to make some veggie ones for me.

接下來，我又去點了一些壽司，因為廚師們非常樂意為我做一些素食壽司。

They'd also made me some stir fry veggies and at this point I was a little bit concerned I wasn't going to be able to finish everything.

他們還給我做了一些炒蔬菜，這時我有點擔心自己吃不完所有的東西。

Even with breakfast done, I still had quite a bit of credit to spend but I had no idea what I was going to do with it.

即使吃完了早餐，我仍有不少錢可以花，但我不知道該怎麼花。

There was a cafe next to the buffet breakfast which I didn't think would be included but you never know until you ask and it was.

自助早餐旁邊有一家咖啡館，我以為不包括早餐，但一問才知道是包括的。

So in that moment, I had an idea.

於是在那一刻，我有了一個想法。

I ended up buying them out of all their cookies and can you guess who these are going to be for?

最後，我買下了他們所有的餅乾，你能猜到這些餅乾是送給誰的嗎？

Sorry I didn't end up filming getting ready but here we are.

很抱歉，我沒有拍到準備工作的過程，但我們還是來了。

I had all my cookies and my keycard and I was ready to go.

我帶齊了餅乾和門卡，準備出發。

It's something that might never come, so I've been waiting here in the arms.

這可能是永遠不會發生的事情，所以我一直在懷裡等待。

Could you tell I was a little bit excited?

你能看出我有點激動嗎？

If you hadn't guessed it yet, the cookies were for all my colleagues and they loved them.

如果你還沒猜到，這些餅乾是給我所有同事的，他們都很喜歡。

They were literally all gone before we even got on the bus.

我們還沒上車，他們就都走了。

Now the bus ride wasn't very long but I always have my airpods with me so I can listen to a little bit of music before I have to give my full attention for so many hours.

現在坐公車的時間並不長，但我總是帶著 Airpods，這樣我就可以在全神貫注地聽上幾個小時音樂。

You know, I've actually been to Manila quite a few times and although I'm a little bit sad I didn't get out and about, I know Zac really wants to go to the Philippines.

你知道，我其實去過馬尼拉好幾次，雖然我有點遺憾沒能出去走走，但我知道扎克真的很想去菲律賓。

So whether it's back to Manila or maybe to Cebu next time, I am so excited for the future where all my travel and flights will be with Zac.

是以，無論是回馬尼拉還是下一次去宿務，我都非常期待未來所有的旅行和飛行都有 Zac 的陪伴。

Now I couldn't really film this flight but check out this Polaroid camera.

這次飛行我真的拍不下來，但看看這臺寶麗來相機吧。

We always have them on board but it's usually the black one.

我們的船上總是有這些東西，但通常是黑色的。

I was obsessed when I saw this so it was only right I got a cheeky little video.

我一看到這個就著迷了，所以我理所當然地拍了一段小視頻。

I still think it's crazy how I was even on this layover.

我到現在還覺得，我怎麼會出現在這個中轉站上，這簡直太瘋狂了。

If I had missed that gate or maybe thought there was no way I'd get ready in time to even try and make it when they called, who knows where I would have been or how I'd even be feeling right now.

如果我錯過了那扇門，或者認為自己根本不可能及時做好準備，甚至無法在他們打電話時趕到，誰知道我會在哪裡，或者我現在會是什麼感覺。

But I had great flights, great crew and overall got to go home with great memories.

不過，我有很棒的班機、很棒的機組人員，總的來說，我帶著美好的回憶回家了。

It makes me even happier to be able to share all of this with you guys.

能與你們分享這一切，我感到非常高興。

So as always, thanks so much for the love and support and don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on where I'll be travelling to next and the exciting future that I have planned ahead.

和往常一樣，非常感謝大家對我的喜愛和支持，別忘了訂閱，這樣你就不會錯過我接下來要去的地方，以及我計劃好的激動人心的未來。
