Hello everyone! It’s your Cabin Crew, Claudine! And welcome back to my channel.
I made this video for my viewers who are aspiring to be flight attendants in the future.
And also for those people who are asking where we are staying.
Qatar Airways' cabin crew are all based here in Doha, Qatar.
Our accommodation is provided by the company.
Several buildings are occupied by cabin crew only.
Males and females are living in separate buildings. The flight deck crew or the pilots are also in separate buildings as well.
Most of the buildings are located around 15-30 minutes away from the airport and QROC. (Qatar Airways Operations Center)
I'm catching my breath.
This is my third attempt to do the intro because I keep stuttering in my previous takes so I keep on repeating it. 😂
Our accommodation is totally free. Even the electricity and water bills are free.
The only thing that we have to pay for is the internet since it is not provided in the first place.
I'll step out of the building to start this tour so you can see what it looks like from the outside.
Then I'll also show the lobby before finally letting you see our kitchen, living area,
what else...
..dining area, my bedroom as well as the bathroom.
Sorry, I’m quite out of my mind 🥱
I’ll go downstairs now.
I live at the 5th floor.
So this is how it looks like from the outside of the building.
This is the building where I live.
* This is the cabin crew transport. It goes from building to building, with around 30 minutes interval, then to QROC and vice versa. *
There's the lobby.
I need to swipe my ID at the entrance so I can enter the main door of the building.
I can’t open it without my ID.
For security reasons, not everyone is allowed to enter the accommodation buildings for QR cabin crew.
That's the post for the security guard of the building.
Also at the lobby is a table where we can put our uniforms for laundry.
We’re not the ones who are doing the laundry of our uniforms.
It's windy here outside. There’s something in my eyes. Oh my god!
Thank you. I just put my make up on because I’m vlogging.
I’m resigning next month.
-Really?
Am I disturbing you?
No, it’s okay. I just got my F1 promotion.
I told my PM (Performance Manager) that I’m leaving soon.
And he’s very encouraging. He told me that he’s gonna give me seven days to think about it.
And then after seven days, I sent him an email
- That you are resigning?
-Uh..huh..
This is what I’m talking about earlier. I need to swipe my ID to enter the building.
This is my flat. Number 46.
This is our living area.
This is our TV but I just turned it on once since I moved here.
I was looking to watch some cartoons when I arrived here in Qatar.
But I can’t understand the language so I never turned it on again since then.
This is our dining table.
We have an air conditioner here and we also have a chandelier.
This is my clothes rack.
When I do my laundry, I put it inside my room.
It’s awkward to show my underwears hanging by the living area.
And this is our kitchen.
We also have a refrigerator. I’m sharing it with my flatmate.
We also have an oven and stove.
Our sink is divided. One for me and one for my flatmate.
Left one is mine, right side belongs to her.
Those stuff are my flatmate's.
In this side, this is where my flatmate prepares her food.
While I’m using just this side.
That’s my rice cooker.
That’s our drinking water supply.
This cabinet is where I put my things.
My new flatmate arrived here just two weeks ago.
I advised her to put all her stuff inside the cabinets.
I let her use all these spaces since I only have a few things in here.
My stuff fits just fine in these cabinets.
I really don't have too much in here.
I am keeping all my stuff inside the cabinets since even when all the windows are closed, dust and sand are still entering our flat when there's a sandstorm here.
So I told her to put her things inside too so it won’t get dusty.
Oh wait..
I’ll show you what’s inside of our refrigerator.
So many unhealthy foods.
I bought some ice cream for my flatmate.
My new Korean flatmate is very sweet and she is very kind.
And I really, really love her so much.
She’s really very sweet.
These are the foods that Jhelo brought for me on my last layover in Manila💓
Salted eggs.
He went to Baguio recently to attend a seminar and he bought all of these for me.
I even have bagoong (shrimp paste) here.
I have milk, pineapple juice, and I have mangoes too. OMG!!!
I also got these from Jhelo.
I have here Buko (Coconut) Pie, Buko Tart, cheese..
and he even bought me Cheese Tikoy.
This is my favorite, Taba ng Talangka (Crab Paste).
My favorite fruits, Mangosteen and Lanzones.
And lots of Chuckie (Chocolate Milk Drink)!!!
Thank you so much, Jhelo. You really are the best!!!
Since my new flatmate has just arrived, she doesn't have much yet inside the fridge.
If you'll notice, I don't really have foods for cooking.
I prefer to just use the food delivery services here.
I'll order for food delivery later since my friend will come over here to visit me.
I bought those dumbbells but I'm not actually using it.
This is the switch for our water heater.
Then inside this room,
is where our washing machine sits.
This is also the toilet for guests.
My flatmate and I never used this toilet.
Behind this door,
is where we hide our broom and mop.
Then here is my bedroom.
A, 46-A.
And this room belongs to my new Korean flatmate.
Are you guys ready to see my room?
Please don't expect too much about my room being so elegant or stylish.
This place where I live in is actually an old building.
Some of the newer Qatar Airways accommodations look like those stylish condominiums.
Those buildings have their own swimming pools, gyms, spas.
When we first arrived here in Qatar,
we have a group chat with my colleagues
where we send pictures of our accommodation
and compare it which one is better than the other.
This building is just fine.
I mean, not that I'm complaining
because I have everything that I need in here.
I have my room, my bed,
my own bathroom—own toilet inside my room.
That's the good thing about it.
Because in other buildings, they have to share a common toilet and bathroom.
Something that I'm not okay with.
What if my flatmate is not hygienic?
So, that's my room.
That's my bathroom
and then...
Wait, I'll turn on the light.
I think it's better turned off.
That's my bed and my baby Winter
Here, I have a picture frame of me and my fiancé.
I also have one with my baby Winter and my family.
I have my bible.
This is my collagen supplement for my glowing skin.
I also have Melatonin.
If you are a cabin crew, you really need that.
I just finished organizing this shelf.
I have my books.
I don't really go out in Doha.
All I do during my day off is watch on Netflix,
watch Korean drama and read books.
That's why I have my books here.
This is a model aircraft of Qatar Airways BOEING 777300-ER
It's a gift from my fiancé—Jhelo.
He got it for me when I finally got accepted with QR.
The moment I learned that I passed the final stage.
So that's his gift.
I just got my uniform from the laundry shop downstairs.
Usually when we do that, we need to wait for just one day.
If you'll go there today, by tomorrow you can already pick it up.
There's still this much free space in this room.
That's my aircon.
I turned on the lamp instead so it's not too bright.
Those are my stuff.
This is where I do my make-up.
Maybe I'll make a get-ready-with-me vlog soon.
I might do it here.
This is were I put my suitcase.
There's my closet.
That's it, actually.
But wait.
This is where I keep my stack of midnight snacks.
I placed it beside my bed so I can easily grab one whenever I'm watching Netflix.
So these are my snacks.
I never run out of snacks because Jhelo always brings me fresh supplies during my layovers.
I still have more inside.
Let me show you my bathroom this time.
Here's my bathroom.
Here's the sink, toilet, mirror.
Right here is my bathtub.
I'm very happy that I have a bathtub. That's where I take a shower.
Those are my essentials.
Let me share something with you.
I have a water bucket here
because the water is extremely hot here in Qatar especially during the summer.
The water coming out from the shower and 
the faucet is scorching.
So what I do is, I fill that bucket with water
and I'll leave it there for 3 hours to let it cool down, then I will take a bath.
There's really no way around it.
Even if we turn off the water heater,
it's still extremely hot.
So hot you could actually make a coffee with it.
That's how hot it is.
So...what else?
Oh! I do have a balcony.
Here's my balcony.
But it's night time so we can't see anything from the outside.
I taped the edges of my balcony door.
From here, all the way down
Even the upper part of the door.
The reason why I did this was because of my experience during my early days here in Qatar.
One day, when I went home, I was so shocked because the sand is all over my flat.
On the floor, on my bed and also on my tables.
Then I asked my flatmate how did it happen when I actually closed the balcony door.
She said that there was a sandstorm here in Doha and when it hits, it's really windy.
Closing the balcony door and the windows isn't enough to stop the sand from entering inside the flat.
Since then, I taped all of the edges of the balcony door.
That's the story behind that.
I think that's all for this vlog.
I won't make this any longer since you might get bored of me doing all this talking.
By the way, about the aircon...
If you'll notice, I have an aircon here in my room, in the kitchen and in the living room..
because it's a necessity here in Qatar.
It's hard to survive here without an aircon
because the temperature rises up to 47-50 degrees Celsius.
I'll end my vlog here.
