Someone should have been or is gonna be reprimanded really soon for forgetting to renew bayandsl.com!

I can’t wait for the deletion of the domain. I’m quite interested on buying the domain once, or if ever, it becomes available.

Since 3am, I’ve been wasting my time here in iHOOKED Katipunan. Going to Internet cafes is not really my thing. The last time I regularly went to an Internet cafe was when I was in fourth year high school at a net cafe beside our school.

I’ve been locked out in my room. I left at around 1am to eat my dinner at Shakey’s Katipunan (which went 24/7 since last week, I guess) while waiting for my OS installation to complete. I only brought my wallet and pen with me. When I went back I discovered that the secondary lock was locked. It can only be opened from the inside. I tried to knock and shout at my sister for her to wake up but to no avail. I even tried to throw coins at her through the window but still I failed miserably. :D

For me to survive, my instinct told me to find a place where I can access the Internet. Next thing in mind was to find a place where I could spend the rest of my night.

And so I went to this Internet cafe. I haven’t been here before but I’ve been seeing it’s entrance everytime I withdraw money right before eating at KFC Katipunan. It’s a lot cleaner here compared to 168 129 Internet Cafe on the adjacent building. The seats are comfortable, the computers are responsive and they do have a good keyboard, mouse and speakers. The restroom was also okay, they had the necessary toiletries inside.

I kinda enjoyed wasting my time here watching Air Crash Investigation on Youtube, playing RockBand 2 songs and playing my favorite ATC simulator. I’ve also emailed and SMSed my sister to notify me thru email when she’s awake.

My only concern in staying here is that I’m using a public computer. There might be a keylogger here, that’s why I don’t type my password here directly. I copy-paste letters and numbers from webpages when typing my password. I also use Mozilla Firefox’ private browsing mode to reduce my footprint in this computer.

Good luck to me!

Since I was in high school, airplanes never failed to fascinate me. I spent hours watching take-offs and landings of airplanes on YouTube, the TV series Air Crash Investigation, and other relevant videos. I also spent a large chunk of time playing flight simulators, reading stuff about the modern jets and viewing pictures of airplanes.

It was my dream to enter a flight school after high school, but it was too expensive. I entered the University and gave up on my dream. My interest to airplanes slowly deteriorated up until recently when I was able to play Microsoft Flight Simulator X again.

Yes, you read it right – Microsoft. I installed Windows back on my laptop, originally to play WarCraft 3 Frozen Throne again. Then I gave Microsoft FSX a try again and I got hooked on it in no time. The other day, I’ve started playing an air traffic control (ATC) simulator, which I found very hard at first but later realized it wasn’t that hard when I got the feel of it. My interest on planes grew back, as well as my dream to become a commercial jet pilot.

The dream is back. After finishing my bachelor’s degree, I’m planning to save some cash for flight school and pursue my dream. I hope that I’ll be taller by then. (Should you have any tips on how to grow taller, just share them on the comments area.)


One of Cebu Pacific’s Airbus A319-100; actually rode the same plane with same registration number

Fifteen (15) minutes ago, I was flying an Airbus A321 on a flight simulator. Five to ten years from now, I envision myself flying a better Airbus (I’m an Airbus fan) jet in real life.

I know I’m asking myself much. In case I fail to pursue my dream, I hope I can be an air traffic controller at least. It’s a great job, too!

PS: It’s 2:49am already. Tomorrow’s my first day of being a Junior College student. Hopefully, just another two more years and I’m done on my bachelor’s degree. (goodluck)
