A Vampire’s Shakey Tale Before Taking Off
In a few hours I’ll be off to my hometown. I was dropped off here in the airport 9 hours before my flight. Excited? No. Not really. Why? First, around 5pm we picked up my sister who just arrived from Dubai and sent her to the domestic airport. My flight is actually on September 22 4:20AM. It would be totally tiring to go back home and travel again to the airport so I decided to stay here at the airport instead rather than missing my flight because of my don’t-wake-me-up habit. For a couple of hours, my eyes was so helpless that it was too lucky to see arriving hotties either from Boracay or Puerto Galera. There were countless of them. Enough with the imagination and let’s get on to what really happened.
After fighting with extreme hot humid outside the airport, I decided to go out and stay somewhere I can at least forget time and hopefully be able to blog about something. While I was walking outside, I saw Shakeys with a big WIFI ZONE poster outside. I didn’t think twice, I immediately rushed in. I ordered a bottomless coke to keep me up all night and shamelessly asked the manager if I could stay only until 2pm. It wasn’t a big deal for them actually but the saddest thing is they’re closing at 12 midnight because they have to repaint the ceiling. Since I don’t have any option, I could at least rest easy and kill time for at least 4 hours.
It was around 11 pm when the manager approached me and said “Sir, since you’re a passenger waiting for your flight, you can stay here even after we are closed. No big deal.” Wow! I was flattered by his generosity. As a shameless human being, I couldn’t say no to it. I was even assisted in moving my things to a more comfortable couch. And right now I’m still here, sitting my ass while the service crew are serving me like a king. OMGWTFBBQ! Must be a very lucky day.
If you guys want to have a very good service, with polite attendants and managers, come to Shakeys Pizza fronting Terminal 1 Domestic Airport. It’s just beside Jollibee. Look for Mr. Dale Odulio. He’s a very nice and polite manager. Probably the best manager I’ve seen. He treats his crews like his own brothers and sisters. To top all of that, he makes sure all the customers are well served and happy. A plain example to all restaurants and other establishments.
To all the crew of Shakeys Pizza in Terminal 1 Domestic Airport, I all salute you for your excellent service. I won’t have a second thought of coming back pretty soon. Kudos to you Mr. Dale!
Anyway I’m about to leave in a few minutes. I’ll see you guys time to time.

So, that’s where you lingered last night. Strategically placed in the area where the hotties pass through.
Tsk tsk tsk! You didn’t tell me about that part besbud… ::sigh::
Enjoy your trip!
Thanks to Mr. Dale. You blog too?

I do hope other fastfood restos would be like this- friendly and service-oriented.
Whoa! I didn’t expect to have this much reply on this thread of mine.
@ Roland – Sir, may you guys keep up the quality of service you render to your customers. Keep it the way people love it, treating them like brothers and sisters. Kudos to you!
@ Mom Jena – Danggit is in Cebu po. Durian po exotic food namin dito. Hahaha.
