LADY IN THE SKY

A FEW WEEKS FROM THIS WRITE UP,  I FEATURED FIRST FEMALES  BUS DRIVERS, THIRTEEN OF THEM (13) TO BE EXACT, DRIVE THE BUSIEST ROAD OF EDSA, THE PHILIPPINES ONCE MOST DANGEROUS ROADS WHERE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS TAKES PLACE.

TODAY, I WILL FEATURE THE FIRST PHILIPPINE FEMALE COMMERCIAL JET PILOT. HER NAME IS CAPTAIN MARIE "BROOKE" A. CASTILLO FROM THE COCKPIT OF CEBU PACIFIC'S AIRBUS A319s AND A320's.

CASTILLO SAID SHE IS DESTINED TO BE THE LADY IN THE SKY AND SHE DESCRIBES THAT TO BE A PILOT IS THE BEST JOBS IN THE WORLD. OF COURSE NO ONE DISAGREE WITH WHAT SHE FEELS ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE IS OUT THERE IN THE SKY.

WOMEN CONQUERED THE WORLD PREVIOUSLY CONQUERED ONLY BY MEN. CASTILLO SAID, AS A PILOT SHE NEEDS TO SCRUTINIZE EVEN THE SMALLEST DETAILS BECAUSE SHE CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT ONES LIFE IN DANGER.

WOMAN PILOT HAD AN ADVANTAGE OVER THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS IN THIS ASPECT. A PILOT NEEDS TO CHECK MORE THAN 200 ITEMS BEFORE AN ACTUAL FLIGHT.

THROUGHOUT HER CAREER, CASTILLO BLAZED A TRAIL FOR OTHER WOMEN IN THE INDUSTRY. NOW CEBU PACIFIC IS BOASTING WITH 14 OTHER FEMALE PILOTS.

MORE LADIES SOARING HIGH IN THE SKY SOON.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.
