First Time to Ride in an Airplane

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

June 02, 2010

At 12:45PM, the plane started to take off. Since it’s my first time, I felt nervous. I was seated near the window so I was able to see
how the plane took off. It’s really amazing. When we reached above the clouds, I felt that the airplane was not moving. It felt like it’s only floating above the clouds. After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, the plane started to land. I felt nervous again. I opened my eyes wide open to see how the plane lands. It’s perfect because the plane landed successfully. I arrived at Cagayan De Oro airport around 2:15PM.

Riding to an airplane for the first time is an unforgettable and nicest experience I had.

First Time in Philippine Airlines Domestic Airport – Manila (Posting My Blog When I Was In Philippine Airlines Domestic Airport)

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

Today, June 02, 2010 11:12AM, I’m here inside the domestic airport at the laptop station. It’s my first time here. A while ago, I asked one of the staffs here where is the gate for flight going to Cagayan De Oro. He said that it’s at Gate 5 (S5).I did not notice that it’s already indicated in my boarding pass. Hahaha… It’s obvious that it’s my first time here. This is one of my unforgettable experiences.

I was surprised here when I bought Fit’n Right Pineapple juice (330mL) drink. It costs 70 Philippine Peso (PHP). I think it only costs between 15(PHP) to 30(PHP) in the supermarket. It’s really expensive. Anyway, as a first timer, it’s really surprising.

What I appreciate here is that there are laptop stations where you can use your laptop. While waiting for the boarding time, I am blogging.

Here are the available wireless network detected by my laptop while I am waiting here in laptop station:

1. airborneaccess.tinderbox
2. PALNAIA2_WLAN
3. MIAAFreeWifiSWT2
4. manila
5. MASCFinance
6. MIAAFreeWifiNWT2
7. Apron_Wifi

There’s an American here who just asked me if there’s an internet connection. Unfortunately, I can’t even connect to the wireless networks available.

A Filipino guy sat beside me here in laptop station. He’s also asking me if I can connect to the internet. Most people here are upset because there’s no internet connection.

While I am at the airport, one of my co-workers in my new project on June 07 called me and talked about the commitment to our new project. I told him that I am willing to stay for at least six months in the project.

On June 14, 2010, Philippines celebrated its Independence Day so I was not in the office because it’s holiday. I cleaned my room and reviewed SCJP 6 exam.

From June 15, 2010 to June 18, 2010, I gained another experience on checking out CVS projects using Eclipse. I deployed J2EE web applications using WebLogic and Eclipse. I learned how to debug running web applications. I configured my Oracle WebLogic Server. I configured my data sources for the web application.

On Saturday, I reviewed again for the SCJP 6 exam.

I spend more than 30 minutes a day for reviewing for the SCJP 6 exam. I take SCJP 6 mock exam as a review. I will keep on doing this review until the day before my exam.

After that, I went to Taguig City because I needed to go to my new project. My new project is in Taguig City and I didn’t know that time where the exact location of my new office. It was my first day in my first project.

Week #22 Year 2010 Ben Millionaire Experience – First Time To Ride In An Airplane

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

On May 30, 2010, I was brought to the hospital because I was suffering from back pain. The doctor gave me medicines to take. My flight was supposed to be on June 01 but the doctor didn’t let me to get out of the hospital. So, I was left by the CebuPacific plane that left Manila on June 01.

I was discharged from the hospital at noon. When I saw a ticketing office, I immediately went there. It’s the RCPI office. I bought a Philippine Airlines ticket going to Cagayan De Oro. It’s a round trip ticket.

On June 02, 2010, I went to Philippine Airlines airport. It’s my first time in the airport. It’s also my first time to ride in an airplane. It’s a very nice first time experience.

I arrived at Cagayan De Oro at 2:30PM. From Cagayan De Oro, I rode in a bus going to Iligan City. I arrived at Iligan City at 5:30PM. I enjoyed my travel. It’s so exciting.
