New checked bag policy?

I checked American Airlines website for any updates or information because hubby is flying to Michigan on Thurs to visit family. A friend mentioned to me that they are now charging for check in baggages. And yes they are really charging now...
I went to Hawaiianairlines.com too (for Winter & I are going back to Hawaii next month) and it's the same. The only good thing is that we purchased our tickets early this year and we won't be charged for anything yet. Hubby is good to go coz no charge for Military active duty.... well for American Airlines. I have to check other airlines too. This sucks, $25 for a 2nd checked bag? It's ridiculous, that's a lot of money!


American Airlines

Updates Regarding Checked Baggage
Customers who purchase domestic economy class tickets on or after May 12, 2008, but before June 15, 2008, may check one bag for free and check a second bag for $25 each way. Customers who purchase domestic economy class tickets on or after June 15, 2008, will be charged $15 each way for the first checked bag and $25 each way for the second checked bag.

Hawaiian Airlines

Hawaiian Airlines announced it will begin assessing a $25 fee each way for a passenger’s second checked bag between the Continental U.S. and Hawaii.

Family Fun Day

Hubby planned today as a family fun day..it started good.
we were going to the 1130 matinee show (to save) to see Kung Fu Kids.
We got ready late so we decided to catch the following show which is at 1245.
The theater we are going don't have military discount so we have to go
on base to buy movie tickets. Hubby also bought baseball tickets (Padres vs Tigers)
for June 22nd. It will be my and our first baseball game to watch together. I still don't get all the rules for this game but i'm getting there.hehe
After the movies we went back home to get hubby's car so to head to the Goodyear store to pick up his tires and rims that he ordered. The guy said to be there at 3. So we were there 3 o'clock sharp. And we waited...and waited..and waited...it was 4:30 already and the car is still there sitting at the parking lot. Hubby was already getting irritated so he talked to the guy why he told us to be there at 3 just to be stuck there and wait. So okay, he was like it is going to be done now...So ok we waited again...patiently...

We can see the car from where we were sitting and my husband was like "so do you like the rims". I looked and i was like "eh it's okay, wait it doesn't look right". Then we realized that it's not the right one! So now i'm irritated and pissed off as well. My husband was too pissed that I can't talk to him. All he told me that he will go back in the morning to talk to the manager.

Went back home to drop off his car then we went to the Navy Exchange to return the camera i bought because i found a better one and a cheaper price. Got there and I forgot the battery charger! arghh..can this day get any better? lol

So I was like i'm not in a mood to cook anymore so let's just grab something to eat. We went to the mall and ate Panda Express. I haven't had orange chicken in a long time, it's just yummyyy. Bought me some more Bath and Body works for the fambam in Hawaii and treated myself underwear from VS. (For those who doesn't know we don't have both stores in HI).

It was an OK day, i know i shouldn't complain a lot, i should just be thankful that I get to spend this day with my family.
The movie was funny though, Winter enjoyed it. Oh and she loves popcorn with a lot of butter lol

Hope everyone's having a great weekend =)

Best Friend

RIP

Today is Miong's last day...as of this moment the cremation should be done.
I still can't believe this is real.

I was able to see him this morning through webcam. Thanks to my friends Ervin and Dex.
It was good to see friends from highschool. Armando, Marla, Lian and Tim were there still. Cynch said she was there but sleeping on the couch hehe.
Yes i got to see Miong, it was heart breaking and can't help myself but cry. He looked peaceful in his sky blue casket. I even told Ervin to wake him up, coz he's just asleep.
I really don't have any words to say but cry...it's hard to lose someone dear to you, a very good friend. I will cherish every single moment that spent with Miong. I miss him, I wish I was able to spend time with him before he left. I wish I was able to go home to see him.
When i go home, the first thing i will do is visit you and meet your wife and kids. I promise.
You will always be here in my heart Miong, I can never find a friend like you. Love You Miong!

All of my pictures are in Hawaii so I asked my sister to scan it for me. I told her to scan at least 10...and here are few of them. I will scan more when I go back to Hawaii next month.
Here are some memories with Miong...

Hockey

I started watching Hockey when me and my husband started dating in 2001.
Didn't really care at all in the beginning, but eventually loved watching every
Detroit RedWings game. My husband plays hockey and I go to his games all the time so maybe that's half of the reason why i learned to love this game. It's fun and exciting.

Last night was Game 5, Red Wings lead the series 3-1. Went to 3 OT but we lost, Peguins won. Watched the game for 5 hours! Me and my husband were both disappointed and still can't believe that we lost. Well game 6 tomorrow at Pittsburgh but I'm telling you that we will bring home the CUP! no more Game 7!

Song from Barney

Winter was watching Barney and i was uploading pictures of my friend Miong.
I was listening to the song and the lyrics then suddenly
tears suddenly fall from my eyes...
yes a song from the Barney show...

here's the lyrics...

When you lose something we love
it can be hard to let it go
learning how to say goodbye is another way we grow
no matter what happens
there’s always tomorrow
to bring in the sunshine, wash out the sorrow
the friends you can count on and people you know
you’ll feel better
when tomorrow comes

though u may feel down inside
it’s okay to let it show
feelings that you are feeling
surely come and go
no matter what happens
there’s always tomorrow
to bring in the sunshine, wash out the sorrow
the friends you can count on and people you know
you’ll feel better
when tomorrow comes….

In Denial

I still can't believe that my friend Mio is gone. I have so many regrets...I wasn't able to see him, or was able to talk to him even on the phone. I feel bad that all through out the years that I've been here in the States that I can count in my fingers how many times I've talked to him.

Read an offline messages from friends Lisette and Tim on YM yesterday, and immediately had to confirm that it's not a stupid joke. I wish it's just one of the those stupid posts/jokes. But it's not....He is gone. My friend Ervin called and updated me to what have had happened to Mio. We were both sobbing over the phone. Chatted with Egai and Remar late last night and again we were all crying. I really miss Remigio, he was one of my best friends in high school, he was my Kuya. I want to give him a hug... if I can just go home.... just one last hug and tell him "daya mo!"
Miss na miss kita Mio...Love You
