I successfully installed my first blog from scratch. Well not really, I just installed WordPress on the server. Had to recall my FTP and my protocol basics. Looks like I’m going to like MySql too. Pretty cool stuff. It’s 1:00 am. I’m just too tired now.
On the way to Japan, my family and I was in an aircraft that encountered a nasty turbulence. The plane felt like it was going to dive and with all the people screaming, I thought it was. I had my share of plane rides but that was the first time I have experienced it in that intensity. I felt my head was flushed and my heart was pounding hard against my chest. Negative thoughts went thru my head and I tried to recall the safety statistics of the airlines. I realized how vulnerable we were, thousands of miles up high in the sky fighting the pull of gravity. My mind was racing to recall the equations for a falling body.
I am still at an awe at the fact that we are able to travel on an aluminum bird guided by satellites and flown by intelligent human beings. We rely on the expertise and the highest safety guidelines set by the aviation standards.
With the situation beyond my control, I had to surrender to a more powerful being. I asked that it may not be our ‘time’ yet because we have so much to live for.
In layman’s words:
from http://www.casa.gov.au/airsafe/trip/turbulen.htm"What is Turbulence?
Turbulence is air movement that normally cannot be seen. It may occur when the sky appears to be clear and can happen unexpectedly. It can be created by any number of different conditions, including atmospheric pressures, jet streams, mountain waves, cold or warm fronts, or thunderstorms."

" Mommy, how about we go to the outerspace? Daddy can buy a rocket ship and he should buy me a suit so that I can walk on the moon. Cody should come too."
As I was putting my toddler to nap this afternoon. She told me she doesn’t want too many brothers or sisters. I asked why, she told me:" if you will have too many children and you will not know what to do. You will give me some broth without any bread. You might not have enough food if there will be so many children." Then she started singing the nursery rhyme to me…that goes:
"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children. She didn’t know what to do. She gave them some broth without and bread. And kissed them all soundly and sent them to bed."
(I hope you still remember your nursery rhymes.)
Backgrounder: My little daughter believes that couples should get married first before having a baby. The thing is she thinks that even married couples should have a wedding again to have another baby.
This morning while I was cleaning up after breakfast, my little darling blurted out: "Mommy, I will pay for you and Daddy’s wedding so that I can get a little sister. I will name her Harriet.
I bursted out laughing and told her that she is welcome to foot the "wedding bill" for a little sister.
A very kind-hearted young soul.
My little one never stops to amaze me. With her big heart in her little body.
One night during our Philippines vacation, my 4 year old daughter told her Dad with tears in her eyes that she wanted to leave her car seat with her only cousin(2 years old) and that we should buy her another one when we get back to the States. My husband asked why and she said she wanted to keep her cousin safe and that she does not want anything bad to happen to her(cousin). We were so touched with her thoughtfulness and has brought tears in our eyes.
It made me feel that despite all the hoopla in the world today, there is still hope and goodness left.
I once read/heard before that when a business entity looses one client, the business does not loose only one client but looses potential clients that client will bring in. Think of it in exponential form. Customer in the Nth power. Building a good reputation, one client at a time.
I believe in excellent customer service. Throughout my career I had made sure that I was giving my best service to each client. It is impossible to make everyone happy but I make sure that I have given my 100%. I can say that I have made friends out of them.
By looking at clients as individual human beings rather than just someone to bill at the end of the month makes a difference.
This is my first public post. I just tinkered with blogsome.com 10 minutes ago and was able to figure out how to customize my blog. My thanks to blogsome.com for providing such an elegant way of blogging.
A trip to my mother country has awaken a part of me that has gone in deep slumber.
I am back.
The firebird has risen from the ashes and shall be more powerful than in her former life.
