CERTIFIED FLYER!

This month marks one of the coolest, most exciting, terrifying experience ever.

Wait... I didn’t go swimming with the whales... nope, didn’t see those pyramids yet.

This month, I was able to flew in and (take note) drive a 2-seater plane across Luzon!

How cool is that?? I know right. Hehe!

So I did an interview of myself after...

How did it feel?

 

Scary and Exciting!!

I mean, I was never really afraid of heights or flying. But this one’s really frightening. The plane was a 2-seater model it is quite smaller than a mini cooper. It’s like a “Bangka” or that 2-seater Ferris wheel seating without the coach. That’s how narrow it is on the inside. So you could just imagine flying with that small aircraft 2000 feet high above the ground.

View from above!!

Was there turbulence?

You bet. That turbulence you’re all getting while on an airbus? That’s the “first world”, “sossy” kind of turbulence. Haha!

Stopover at San Fernando, La Union Airport

You did a crash course on flying?

When your pilot, in the middle of fying, happens to declare “he’s really tired of driving” and decides to just let go of the controls and tell you (out of nowhere) “it’s your turn to fly the plane”. You get tense (whaaaat??!! Ayoko na! I want to jump! Help!) and you hesitate first, but then again the plane you’re on starts to struggle and it swivels big time. You’re left with no choice but to take the wheel and drive and become the reluctant “first pilot”. Then your purportedly co-pilot starts blabbing about things like “maintain the altitude!”, “the plane’s wings are uneven or “maintain the degrees, where are we heading?”, “look at the map!” or “look outside, familiarize the terrain”.

Yes, I was forced to learn. Out of coercion, compulsion and fear of plane crash!

What else?

My friend Ryan, is not only a good pilot. He’s also good at pulling off pranks at anyone.

So, that day was not an exemption after all.  

How long were you airborne?

Around 4 hours (Clark to La Union and back). And that 4 hours was the longest 4 hours of my life! Hahaha!

Will you do it again?

NOOO!!!  What was I thinking???!! Hahah! :p 

 Hundred Islands, Pangasinan

Mt. Pinatubo's and lahar area..

Thanks to my friend Ryan, this one of a kind experience came about. Thank you God I feel highly favored. 

I can now claim. I am a CERTIFIED FLYER! (insert cheers, jugglers and confetti here) J

Cheers to more adventures!

Three Point O! (3.0)

you know that state of torment is progressing every month around here.

work is, at a rate of knots, piling up and the pressure seems to make people crazier than usual. haha! :)

surprisingly, i feel good about it. honestly i feel okay about it. i know…and i say to myself, whenever this work is done and after this season, my heart will be a lot tougher.. my mind sharper and more enriched…my spirit alive than ever.

 ill be able to learn a language and a come up with a quality that will allow me to  freely navigate (with catlike reflexes) around a culture like this and negotiate and work with people running in this kind of environment (practical intelligence).

long story shorter…this is an exercise... an exercise that will allow me to become a better version of myself-the suey 3.0. hehe! 

there’s always going to be an upgrade brewing ahead of us. 

thank you god for not letting my brain cells die in vain and for always reinforcing my synapses.

so if you’re reading this, and you’re going through something tougher than regular, know that God is just steadily increasing the weight of your dumbbells...stretch and lift a little more of that weight towards gaining that brilliant dream ahead---- that sexy body! hahaha!   

have a happy weekend!
