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)

My father once egged me to become a pilot way back in my elementary school days. Not quite sure why the idea never took flight in me.
