The People I envy aLot

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

I made an informal survey through SMS about the people they most envy about. Most respond that they envy big time celebrities they saw on TV. However, mine is really different. I don't care about the TV personalities or whatever. What I'm talking about is those people who offer service to  people thats the real celebrity for me, they are the people who can work under pressure, work on  graveyard shifts, serves with love and even adapts to different timezones. You might be thinking these are nurses but no, Im talking about Flight attendants. Its my dream job to fly and serve people of all races up in the sky, its the coolest job in the world. You get to serve and travel to different airports and see more airlines. Thats what I wanted to be. 

Looking through some advertisements on broadsheets about hiring flight attendants, it made me a little depressed and almost into tears because I think that I don't qualify based on their criteria. One, its weight is proportionate to the height.  I guess I'm a bit off the weighing scale. Hahah. Just kidding, I'm 5"10 and weigh about 84 kg. So, its just a little step from the normal range. In turn, I want to enroll again in the fitness gym coz this time I'm not that busy with my work. Second, clear complexion. I worried about this sometimes because I have some small pimple marks on  my face since flight attendants need to be drop dead gorgeous, hahaha. I never saw a flight attendant who had some freckles or pimples on their face but no biggie nowadays coz Vicky Belo is here. Third, able to swim. I really don't know how to swim. The minimum requirement is at least 50m unaided. I don't know if I'll learn to swim at this age. Hahah.

Moments at the Summit

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

Yesterday, I joined the 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit, it was held at NCCC Mall Davao at 9AM. I was kinda late because I was really confused to go to the summit or to attend another seminar about anesthesia at Brokenshire College scheduled on the same day. But then, after careful analysis of the situation I decided to scrap the event at Brok and join the Mindanao Bloggers summit because I love to blog. Not that I don't like nursing but this event happens only once a year and nursing seminars are on a regular schedule. 

Fortunately, I was able to catch Peter Lavina as the keynote speaker during the event. I think that every councilor or official should have a blog as well so that we'll know more about their programs or plans coz somehow they are like celebrities in the political arena. Well, I hope to see some Kidapawan councilors do it as well.  

What I was so amazed about was Bob Martin, a foreigner who loves Mindanao so much and he creates blog about it. I was so jealous that he had a chance to tour the wonderful island of Mindanao like the far flung province of Tawi-Tawi. Come to think of it, its seems that this place is so scary but based on the pictures he present, I never thought how majestic the place was. So there is really more to discover in Mindanao than those negative news coming from the island.

Certainly, blogging can make a lot of difference in Mindanao especially the bad images it is getting from international media. Bloggers can show to the world the colors of Mindanao.
