Making Wishes Come True Above The Sky
November 20, 2023
Back when you were a kid, have you also imagined clouds as fluffy cotton pillows floating through the sky? I remember watching a kid's show back in the day where the main young character hopped onto the clouds. I imagined the softness of it, and I wished I could touch the clouds too someday. When I watched a TV show where there were treasures at the end of the rainbow, I wished to climb the rainbow and slide down to the end to find the treasures too.
Admit it or not. That's how we think back in the day, making impossible things possible in our imaginations and believing those fantasy stories on television. Is there heaven above the sky? I guess you thought of that too when you were a kid.
When I was young, I wished to ride a plane to see the clouds and sky above. I wished to experience what it felt like to cross through a sea of clouds. I wanted to know why the sky was blue. Although it was explained in school, I was always curious.
Believe it or not, It was only in 2013 when I first rode a plane. I was twenty-four years old. Although it was only a domestic flight, I felt like my wish about seeing clouds above the sky had come true. I felt like I was in a state of euphoria the whole course of my flight, but nervous at the same time. However, since I wasn't in the window seat, I failed to take photos of the clouds during my very first flight.
My first flight was followed four years later, when I dreamed of traveling abroad. So each time I fly overseas, I always take the window seat to watch the clouds from above, hoping to spot a rainbow or catch the sunset. I was very happy on my recent flights to Manila, Tacloban, and back to Hong Kong as I witnessed the sunset and spotted a rainbow for the first time.
Can you imagine this beauty? It was a magical golden hour. It was as if there was a surge of awe and happiness that awakened my soul. I couldn't keep myself from taking photos of it. On my next flight, I spotted a rainbow. Childhood memories flashed through my mind. It was the very first time I saw a rainbow after many years.
In the middle of overwhelming emotions when crossing the sky, there is a sense of calmness and humility. That's another reason why I always take the window seat, and I don't really care if I pay an extra fee just to get one.
Seeing the beautiful scenery above somehow helps dissipate the stress and whatever sad emotions I'm dealing with inside me. I feel like the world is so small that I could easily cross from one end to another. I cross vast oceans and mountains in just one sitting. How amazing it is, right? How much more if I see the sunset and rainbow up close. It was a wonderful journey.

Thanks for your time.

Mga inosenting mga katanungan natin no. Gusto ko din makasakay ng plane kaso, ewan jd mangyayari ba to ee wala naman akong pinupuntahan.
Punta ka Manila mag plane hehe...
Kala natin parang pillow noh?, haha.. Hndi pla pwd masakyan lol
Hello dear friend @jane1289 good morning
I don't think there is a child who hasn't had these kinds of dreams and experienced these kinds of things.
Great that you were finally able to fly on a plane and make your dreams come true. What beautiful shots, I love aerial shots.
Thank you very much for sharing this experience with us
Happy start to the week
Thanks.. For sure you've been in a plane, right? What was your first experience?
These days window seats are really expensive. Before there’s no payment to get the window seat, but recent years there is already. Well, I won’t mind paying a little extra too like you just to see the clouds and the sky, especially if you’re flying in daylight.
Sa Phil Air kasama na yan sa booking. Pwd pumili ng seats.. Sa Cebu Pac need pa magbayad.. Pero mas mahal nga lang ticket sa Phil Air hehe
Flying is a dream for those who haven't flew. I was pretty young on my first flight I still remember being drawn to the window throughout the flight. My best experience is during my military days when I was in the cockpit looking above in the overhead windows seeing another plane above us refueling us.
Your experience is undoubtedly the best. Do you know that I also wished to be a pilot when I was a kid hehe.
That's a a good dream job. Can you imagine being a traveler every day as part of your job? That would be a great perk to have 😊
Nah.. Seeing the real life of a pilot, yes he can fly everywhere, but seldom have more time to enjoy life 😅..
True and living out of suitcase day after day wouldn't be fun. It would be a job to do for a few years to experience and than find something else. Good money but no time to spend it I imagine.
Exactly.. Just like other high-paid jobs

You look ten years younger than your real age; I don't mean to offend. I have it in my goal list to enter a plane too but I am yet to check it out
Do you even know my real age? 😅..did you even see my photo in the post to compare? 😅
