Up In The Sky

June 9, 2011 - 4:40pm (Philippine time) was the date and time of our direct flight to Canada via Philippine Airlines. It took 12 hours and 10 minutes to reach Vancouver International Airport from Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

Days before our flight, I've been thinking of things to do while I'm occupying my designated seat at the plane - while we're up in the air for more than 12 hours. Thankfully, I wasn't bored. HAHAHA I sat beside my mom. My seat was 12C, her seat was 12A (that's the seat beside the window). I thought my legs were going to hurt because of the long flight but they didn't. Thanks to the spacious leg room of PAL's business class seats.

The flight attendants were, though kind of old (hahaha), very polite and attentive. They immediately asked us to choose the dish we want for dinner. After selecting meals for dinner, my focus was on the airline's entertainment system. I browsed through the different channels available, and the movies simultaneously showed were: Rio, Big Momma, The Green Hornet, Hall Pass and Just Go With It. Those movies were played around 6 times. On the third showing, I was finally able to catch the entire showing of Just Go With It. It was a cute, entertaining movie.

Other than the entertainment system and food, I continuously checked the view from the window. In the middle of our flight, I exchanged seats with mom. I like checking the views from the window. I have some pictures to prove it. I find it cool that we had two noons and one night within just twelve hours!! HAHAHAHA

Sorry for my kid-like amusement. Thank God for this long, though air pocket-y, safe flight!

Tumblr = Inspiration / Motivation.

It's refreshing to know that in the middle of these past plain, boring, hot summer days, World Wide Web has still something amazing to offer. Well yeah, it really has a lot to offer because Internet has been my life this summer. But there's this one site that just inspires me. It's called Tumblr, I'm sure you've heard about it. It is a blogging site that allows you to post photos, music, chats, videos, or any text post you want. You can also 'reblog' a post that has already been blogged by another person.

What exhilarate me oftentimes are photos that make me realize a lot of things. There are times that I'm just completely inspired by the photos posted all over my dashboard.

I'm a teen with tons of dreams. I dream big. So it means a lot to me when I see photos of my dream cities/places or just photographs of things I want to do someday. It motivates me to do something each day that would bring me extra closer to my dreams.

I like to share some of the photos that have just touched my heart. If I reblog photographs of places, it means that I aspire to go there someday. If I reblog text-photos it means that I can relate to them, or at least made me laugh.

Awesome places:

(Above) This is NYC. One of my biggest dream cities.

(Above) I'm guessing this is Cape Town, South Africa. But I really don't know. I just wanna be here someday.

(Above) This is the viewing deck of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. I've been to Singapore once. But it was still under construction-completion that time. Look at the pool and the view. I swear I'll be there in the future!!

Some of my favorite text-filled (inspirational) photos:

Those are some of my favorite Tumblr posts. I do not own those images, I just imported them from Tumblr. Check out my Tumblr account - http://seanisnotyouu.tumblr.com for the credits of the owners. :) You can follow me, and check my Archive for these photos.

As you can see, I like reblogging city streetlights at night. I love nights, the streets, the busyness of cities, and the lights - they just make up my dream cities. And as you may notice too, typographies about valuing time and reaching your dreams are my favorite topics to talk about. I guess my principle about life revolve on those, that's why they mean so much to me.

I believe that we should all value time, and we should not be afraid of dreaming. As I always say, "Dare to dream. Dreaming is always a journey, never an escape." I'm just tired of hearing people say that dreaming is for losers, and that dreaming makes us deny the reality. I've always believed that dreaming is a journey we must enjoy. It is a journey in which we are destined to be on top. And I love that, I think I'll enjoy reaching the starts and fulfilling my dreams. Now you can see why I love Tumblr so much, can't you? Tumblr is just a great place of thinking and making up my mind about my dreams. Today, all of my dreams may be just pure 'fantasy', but watch me as I chase those dreams and make them reality.
