			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Crash_Investigation">Air Crash Investigation</a>, and other relevant videos. I also spent a large chunk of time playing flight simulators, reading stuff about the modern jets and viewing <a href="http://www.airliners.net/">pictures of airplanes</a>.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/flightsimulatorx.aspx">Microsoft Flight Simulator X</a> again.</p>
<p><img src="http://conradmiguel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/FSX_Cover.jpg" alt="" title="Flight Simulator X" width="300" height="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1647" /></p>
<p>Yes, you read it right &#8211; Microsoft. <a href="http://conradmiguel.com/star-wars-windows-7-etc">I installed Windows back on my laptop</a>, 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&#8217;ve started playing an <a href="http://www.atc-sim.com/">air traffic control (ATC) simulator</a>, which I found very hard at first but later realized it wasn&#8217;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.</p>
<p>The dream is back. After finishing my bachelor&#8217;s degree, I&#8217;m planning to save some cash for flight school and pursue my dream. I hope that I&#8217;ll be taller by then. (Should you have any tips on how to grow taller, just share them on the comments area.)</p>
<p><center><a href="http://conradmiguel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/1527488.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1646" title="Airbus 319" src="http://conradmiguel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/1527488-500x190.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="190" /></a><br /><small>One of Cebu Pacific&#8217;s Airbus A319-100; actually rode the same plane with same registration number</small></center></p>
<p>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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus">Airbus </a>(I&#8217;m an Airbus fan) jet in real life.</p>
<p>I know I&#8217;m asking myself much. In case I fail to pursue my dream, I hope I can be an air traffic controller at least. It&#8217;s a great job, too!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>PS: It&#8217;s 2:49am already. Tomorrow&#8217;s my first day of being a Junior College student. Hopefully, just another two more years and I&#8217;m done on my bachelor&#8217;s degree. (goodluck)</p>
