Fly Like a BOSS

Narinig na natin ang katagang "Now Any Juan Can Fly", yan ang tagline na gamit ng Cebu Pacific. Marami na nga ang nabigyan ng pagkakataong makalipad dahil sa baba ng mga pamasahe sa eroplano. 

Sa mga nakasakay na ng eroplano, marahil ay napupuna nyo lagi yung unahang bahagi ng eroplanong may "kurtina" (para sa mga Airbus) o yung may hagdanan na tila may ikalawang-palapag ang eroplano (Boeing 747). Ang mga bahaging ito ay tinatawag na "First Class" o "Business Class", sa madaling salita - para sa mga mayayaman lang. Dahil ang mga inuupuan nating mga ordinaryong tao ay "Economy Class". 

Marami na tayong mga narinig na kwento o napanood sa telebisyon ukol sa mga sumasakay sa bahaging ito ng eroplano. Maluwag ang espasyo ng kinauupuan. Malaki ang mga upuan at maaring ihiga kung nanaisin. At pinaka gusto nating lahat, masasarap daw ang pagkain ng mga nakakaupo sa "business class", kadalasan ay may kasamang masarap na inumin or alak.

Ang sarap sigurong maranasan yan noh? Pwes! Iinggitin ko kayo ng konti. Ako'y pinalad na makaupo sa "business class" ng Philippine Airlines (PAL) Boeing 747 byaheng Davao. Dalawang beses na. Hehehe. 

PAL Boeing 747. Eto ang pinaka-malaking eroplano ng PAL na may ikalawang palapag.

Business Class.

 Totoo ngang maluwag ang espasyo at malalaki ang upuan mo. Kahit i-unat mo ang mga paa mo ay kaya mong gawin sa luwag ng pwesto. Ang upuan naman, sobrang luwag para sa isang tao. "Lazy Boy" sa eroplano ang pakiramdam. Meron ka rin sariling "TV" sa harapan mo. Pakiramdam mo ngang VIP ka.


Subalit may isang sablay sa karanasan ko sa "business class".

Pagkain ng nasa business class

Naglalaway pa naman ako habang iniisip kung ano ang pagkaing ihahain samin. Pero eto ang tumambal sa aking harapan. WTF!!! Hindi ba't eto rin ang hinahain nila sa economy class? Bakit ganun?! Waaaaahhhhhh!!!


Ok, siguro marahil sa isang oras at kalahati lang naman kasi ang byahe kaya walang pagbabago sa pagkain.  Haaaay!


Sumablay man sa pagkain, masasabi ko pa rin na magandang karanasan ang makasakay sa bahaging ito. Una kayong pinasasakay at unang pinabababa ng eroplano. Kaso, kapag bumagsak ba ang eroplano, una din kaya ang business class na mamatay?! Knock-on-wood. Wag naman ganun! 

Fly Like a BOSS

Bago ang lahat, gusto nyo bang malaman kung paano ako nasakay sa business class?? Hindi, dahil sa binayaran ng kumpanyang pinag-tatrabahuhan ko. Hindi naman ako manager para gawin nila yun. 


May paraan talaga para magawa ito ng walang karagadagang bayad. Sasabihin ko ba? Pilitin nyo muna ko. Hahahaha.

Security Tip for your House

Just got this e-mail from a friend and sharing with some of my readers... hehehe...


What to take to bed with you - not a joke
Pretty neat idea. Never thought of it before.














Put your car keys beside your bed at night

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.

This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this:
It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it.
It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain.
It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around.

After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.

And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic.
Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.

Please pass this on even IF you've read it before.. It's a reminder.

Simpleng Bagay Lamang

Araw-araw lahat ng tayo ay abala sa mga kanya-kanyang gawain, maging sa bahay man ito, sa trabaho, pag-iinternet, o sa iba pang mga bagay.

Maraming mga bagay tayong inaalala at naalala. Inaalala natin kung pano tayo mamuhay sa pangaraw-araw, kung pano natin tatapusin ang mga proyekto sa eskwelahan, matapos ang mga trabaho sa opisina sa takdang panahon.

Naalala naman din natin ang mga pangyayari ng nakalipas at ang kasalukuyan. Naalala natin ang mga kaarawan ng mga kaibigan at iba pang mga taong malapit sa atin. Naalala natin ang mga gimik ng barkada. Naalala din natin ang mga bayarin natin sa kuryente, bayarin sa eskwela, sa mga credit cards at kung anu-ano pa.

Sa mga samahan naman gaya ng mga kaibigan, kapamilya o kahit na sinu pa man, hindi natin nakakalimutan ang mga magagandang pangyayari kasama sila. Hindi rin nalilimutan ang mga magagandang bagay na ginawa nila para sa atin. At ang mas masama pa ay lalong hindi natin nakakalimutan ang mga masasamang pangyayari o masasamang nagawa nila sa atin.

Pero anu ba ang madalas nating makalimutan?

Ang hindi napapansin ng nakakarami na madalas makalimutan ng isang tao ay mga "Maliliit na Bagay" (Simple Things).

Sinu nga ba ang makakapansin nito? Eh maliit nga naman, anu ba naman at pag-aaksayahan pa ng panahon.

Maaring sabihin na hindi ito maikukumpara sa mga malalaking bagay na ating nararanasan, nadarama o nakikita. Pero dapat nating isipin na sa mga "maliliit na bagay" na ito nabubuo ang mga malalaking bagay. Wala nga namang lumabas na lang o nangyari na lang bigla at itoy lumaki. Lahat ay may pinagsimulan. Ang mga malalaking negosyo ay nagsisimula sa maliit na negosyo. Ang mga malalaking halaman ay nagsimula sa isang maliit na buto. Ang pag-ibig ay nagsimula sa paghanga. Ang malalaking away ay nagsisimula sa maliliit na away.

Kailangan nating maging mapagmasid sa mga ganitong bagay. Kung ating mababalewala ang mga maliliit na bagay na ito maaring magsisi lamang tayo sa huli dahil kapag naipon ang mga maliliit na bagay na ating nakaligtaan ay maari itong maging malaking bagay. Malaking bagay na mahirap ng ibalik sa Maliit.

CRIMPING

Does anyone know how to connect the LAN Cable/ Internet Cable with the RJ45? Well I don't...

It's been more than a month since we bought a LAN Cable, an RJ-45 and a Linksys Router. I was the one who suggested for us to buy this things in order for us to maximize the internet subscription of brother with Smart Bro.

Anyway, when plan on buying this things - the LAN Cable and the RJ-45 is not yet crimped together or joined together. Well this wasn't my first impression. The crimping of the two (2) will cost you aroung Php 20.00 per RJ-45 if you have done at a computer store inside a mall. I believing that it would be easy in crimping the two together said to my mom "Wag na! Mahal masyado kung Php 20.00 each. Ako na bahala dyan marunong naman siguro yung mga kabarkada ko eh" After buying all the stuff we need to create a small LAN connection at home, I called-up my friends and ask them who could help me out with my problem. But none of them could help me out.

In short, this crimping thing became my biggest problem. Just this past few days I remembered to ask our IT Technical team at the office to help me out but they also forgot how to do it - maybe not forgot but the color coding arrangement of the eight (8) wires of the LAN Cable. So I asked for the help of our Graphic Designer, searched the web for the crimping instructions and there we printed out the web page. I went home and tried studying the graphics and when I was about to try it out, I seem to have lost the four (4) pieces of RJ-45. Damn! I bought another four (4) pieces and just this night tried to follow the instructions - at first it seemed a little bit difficult but I just went with my instincts and finished it.

Now the moment has come to try it out, if I have done it the way it supposed to be. Just this night after trying - Yehey! I succeeded, but first I tried to setting-up the LAN connection of our PC before finally using it. And now I am enjoying the fruits of my labor. Hehehe.

Now I can surf the net and chat with my GF without bringing home our company's laptop...

Doctor QUACK....

Today, I didn't go to work because I'm not feeling well and I'm not up to it. So I decided to stay at home and just fix some personal stuffs. First, I plan to go to a certain bank and have my ATM card replaced because it is broken already. Next I decided to go to a doctor and have my right thumb checked. It has been hurtin for almost a month now.

I woke up in bed and texted my boss that I'm coming to work today, she replied "ok, noted", like should would on an average day. I ate my breakfast and talked to my Mom that I will borrowing our car for me to go to the bank and have a check-up. I told her that with our healthcard I would go to this hospital (same name as my sister) which is an accredited hospital of our companies healthcard. She adviced me to try some other hospitals because, as what happened to my grandmother and father before, they weren't really taken care off that much when they were admitted in that hospital.

I first decided to go to the bank because I was running a little late already, and since the bank has no lunch breaks, I went their first. I handed out my old card, and to my surprise my savings are almost depleted because I was already below minimum on that account. I even have to pay PHP 50.00 for a new card which will be deducted to my depletin savings. So I told the teller that I would just deposit some money to my account as not to have my account closed due to insuficient funds. The teller informed me that I could get my card this coming Wednesday, but I have no time to get myself. I asked her if I could have someone get it for me, but I am the only who could be allowed to get it. I again asked if I could just pick it up on other branches but she said that I could only get it to the branch where I opened my account. So now I leave the bank and probably get it on some other day.

After, going to the bank, I decided to head for SM Hypermart Valenzuela. Since it's almost twelve 12:00PM and almost lunch break, I should just get myself something to eat. Since I could just for a few minutes, I first decided to hit the arcade. I bought myself 5 tokens at Quantum. I scounted for a game to play, I saw someone playing "Tekken Tag", I after the other player was defeated I tried my luck. I easily defeated the guy, and won 3 times and loose again, and won again 4 times. I other words, Ithose 5 tokens well worth played. After a game, I decided to eat alreay. I went to the food court, thinking that I could spend less eating there. I selected on some few food choices, I came to choosing Fatboy's Pizza. I selected to eat their Giant Porkchop meal. I thought I would be satisfied since the meat is really big. After waiting for 5 minutes for my meal, I then sat on an empty table. I started to taste the food, and to my surprise, the stupid food taste AWFULL. The food some how tastes like a burnt food or even a rotten food. I tried finishing the food, since I don't putting it into waste but after a long struggle, I really couldn't finish eating the food. So I left the food unfinished and left my stomach unsatisfied as well. After leaving, I was thinking to myself that I should have approached the establishment and complaint on the bad taste of their food and get my money back. I think, I should be more strong next time as not to let this people get away with bad food and services.

After eacting I decided to head on to the doctors clinic for my check-up. My car is parked in this mall, and I was thinking if i should bring it to the hospital knowing that their is only limited parking space. I finally decided to leave the car and just take a jeepney to the hospital.
As I arrived to the hospital, I quickly searched for the clinic of the our healthcard. The referral will come from the Accounting Department. I informed the personnel that I will have my right thumb checked. She asked her co-worker to whom will they refer me since the PT and the Ortho, and finally said that they will refer me to a surgeon. I was thinking back then, my mom is right that this might not be a good decision coming to this hospital for a check-up. I went to the doctor which they refered me to, and according to the assistant of the good doctor, he is out for a while. I waited for the doctor, while the assistant texted her. The doctor called and talked to me over the phone. He tried to analyze my situation over the phone. Said that he will give me pain reliever and have my hand X-rayed. Again, I think this was a mistake going here. Where have you seen a doctor do a check-up over the phone and already advicing what to give and what to do. As I went out of the clinic, I saw an old friend from college, Stephanie. Judging from her looks and what she is carrying I already guest that she is a medrep. So we chatted for a while, and she even gave me a Vitamin C bottle, which is already due to expire this coming November. She was also going to the other building looking for a client, while I'm going to the admissions for approval of my X-ray. I entered the admission, after awhile I noticed that the persons inside were all students. I looked outside and saw that it was an admission for students. Stupid me! hahaha. So I went already to the admissions for approval, after reading the form, she saw that their were no diagnosis from the doctor so she cannot let me have an x-ray. She called the doctors office and informed them of the situation. I waited for while again, thinking that this was a big mistake and that I should just leave. Their came a call from the doctors clinic saying that their diagnosis was "Soft Tissue Rheumatism".
I then had my x-ray and borrowed the film for a while and went back to the doctors clinic. The doctor examined me at last, physically. Said that their are no fractures that he felt and nothing showed on the x-ray. Again, said that I should take the medicines as pain relievers because it woudl take some time for this pain come off because I don't have any good rests for my fingers during work.
After all of that I already went home, thinking to my self that place is not so reliable at all. I decided to take the medicines according to his prescription and if still doesn't work, I will go to another doctor for check-up.

A lesson learned, I food, product or service isn't good, complain. If you don't trust the hospital and the doctor, leave.
