ON HAPPINESS IN SAVING LIVES!

In the pursuit of contentment, choosing the right career has always been my priority... Marketing. However, I made bad calls on a few companies I worked for and even made bad calls for business investments. I worked at a few companies with eight-to-ten-hour jobs that were very monotonous and tiring. I completed my work like a machine. At some of these companies and business ventures, I was one of those people who weren't allowed explore their real interests thus; I had a series of tendencies to get lost in a lifetime of dissatisfaction and unhappiness.

Now, believe I did choose the right career and I found myself in a great company, Airgurus Ltd. Co., the leading helicopter / aircraft charter and air ambulance provider in the Philippines! Why do I say great? This snapshot of a Facebook post below is one of the reasons why:

Marco L. Santos is the Operations Manager Cruise Director at Worldwide Dive and Sail

Marco L. Santos thanked us at Airgurus for the medical evacuation of diver, Victoria Sant from Kalibo, Philippines last January 2011. Victoria had a heart attack after a dive, requiring her for an immediate medical evacuation via one of Airgurus' medically-souped up helicopters upon getting stabilized on board the Philippine Siren. The dive crew brought her to Libertad, Antique and then on to Kalibo for pick-up by Airgurus' chopper. Marco called Capt. Harry Harvey Lero immediately to find a way to extract his guest diver, Victoria Sant fast after her accident. Victoria Sant made it to Makati Medical Center and eventually went home to her country with a new lease in life.

This makes me feel so good about what I'm doing now.  Knowing about good results of majority of our medical evacuations and getting compliments... make me feel so proud that I am part of Airgurus Ltd. Co. 

I call myself The Architect in the company... unraveling the dream within this dream- come-true project... the key person who constructs the dream and web world inside the mind of the Dreamer.

Contracted by Capt. Lero for a specific job position: to manufacture a world of dreams...making it visible and known everywhere and making it a reality. I am propelled by my intellectual curiosity which made me unable to pull myself away from such a unique opportunity of saving lives in the Philippines. The naturally curious and creative person in the great  team, my totem is the acacia tree in front of Airgurus hangar. :P

Little did I know that seeing my childhood best friend, Capt. Harry Harvey Lero, (President and Chief Pilot of Airgurus Ltd. Co. and now also my business partner in Cyberbees Ltd. Co.) after almost 3 decades, would pave way for me to enjoy the best marketing career I've ever had in 12 years. 

Next to his father, Capt. Harry Lero is the best highly-skilled pilot in the Philippines... the absolute best in the art of life extraction by air even when the weather is at its' most vulnerable.

The Extractor is the one who extracts people from life threatening situations... delivering them through their golden hours to a second chance in life. He is the Master Planner... the Dreamer... the dreamer of saving lives.

Capt. Lero and I studied nursing but neither of us ended up being one. He became a pilot just like his childhood dream and I got myself into Marketing fulfilling my dream of being a writer. Now, we're both in pursuit of our real and bigger ambitions... involved in a company of saving human lives! 

With Airgurus Ltd. Co., my world became bigger and better.... primarily enriched by saving lives!

Thank you, HH... for sharing your dreams with me. I'm xtremely proud and grateful that our paths crossed again! :-)

LIFE IN 2011

All of us strive hard to be successful in life... we go through life like it's a rat race but at times, our lifestyles can hold us back from fulfilling our dreams and reaching our goals. Seriously... it can wear us down.

me providing distraction to Bob Sinclar LOL!

Exhaustion

It is energy that is the most precious resource for driven business people like me... It is not time. Today's fast-paced living or lifestyle often depletes our energy and wears us down to the point that it is sometimes difficult to recover from. As I grow older each year, I have moments of having difficulties to better manage my energy to stay healthy.

with my best friend Melissa Chua

In this new age of all-access information, we tend to deplete our energy... our life force zapped by partaking in way too many activities which eventually leads us to unhealthy lifestyle practices in order to deal with day to day stress.  

with Jay Server of Time

Time for me is important. Energy is also for me, equally important. Time without enough energy can make this limited for us. I'd like to resolve the thoughts and stories running in my head that are driving me non-stop. It's crazy and it's taking away my focus from being present in the world I live in today with a lifestyle plan and goals that work for me. I don't want to be stuck then leave issues in my life unresolved later on. I got plans... I got dreams... I got ambitions. I don't want heavy lifestyle outpace my ability to take care of myself.

I'm going to sustain a high quality of life... in the sense of living it right... gaining energy more to make full use of my time in this life. Not by money motivated by envy, greed, lust, or any of the deadly sins will I get my strength to sustain my life and go on living unlike others do. I will get and sustain my high quality of life if I make my mindset work for me and definitely not against me.

It's a Saturday night... I am tempted with the texts and calls for another night out but I'm going to be responsible of myself.

I'm going to relax this night away, gain my energy to keep my companies Airgurus Ltd. Co., Time and Monaco Models International thriving and clients happy.  In return, things will fall into the right places and I will be eventually more happy and powerful to achieve my personal and professional goals. 


Whenever I have to say "No" to fast-paced lifestyle sometimes, here's one funny vain line i usually tell my friends that I'd like to share with you.... "WITH GREAT LOOKS, COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITIES"! LOL!

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, GET A CHARTERED FLIGHT

A couple of friends of mine were recently trapped in Boracay Island, Philippines when they couldn't get a flight back home due to the island's peak season. This may sound like a luxury but if one has to get back home for very important reasons, a charter flight is no longer one but it becomes a definite necessity.

Shyloh booked a chartered flight from Boracay to Manila last November 3, 2010 via Airgurus Ltd. Co. ( www.airgurus.com ). She and friends Melai, Georgina and Rain were able to avoid booking troubles, long sweaty lines at the airports and instead, they enjoyed the familiar sites all the way home from a different perspective in one of Airgurus' fantastic helicopters and planes (see www.airgurus.com/aircrafts.html ).

Capt. Harry Harvey Lero who spearheads the team of fully qualified and very experienced pilots of Airgurus Ltd. Co., safely chauffeured Shyloh and friends home. Flying at an altitude of around 1000 feet, the girls got a fresh and exciting look at Philippines' many beautiful islands, bay lines, lush forests and city orbits... truly an exhilarating experience.

Trust me, it's just so different with helicopters in the Philippines as I have my own experience with a few since childhood days (thanks to Capt. Lero's dad, Harry Lero) to adulthood. Each experience is different every single time!

So, to escape from the hustle and bustle whenever you are entangled in one here in the Philippines, charter your own private helicopter and enjoy a chauffeured ride through the skies. See Airgurus' services ( at www.airgurus.com/services.html ) or call them 24/7 at +632 583 6337 / +632 854 4086 / +63 920 955 0897 / +63 917 596 6288 or email them at info@airgurus.com

Remember, a chartered helicopter flight is no luxury especially if it is necessary!

FAIRY TALES

Once upon a time... happier ever after.

The stories we were told and we tell are the stuff of dreams. Dreams we used to dream of as kids.



As an adult reading this, do fairy tales do come true? For the lucky ones, fairy tales told to us when we were young, happened.

However, what's with the most of us? What happened to our dreams?



Isn't it that the epiphany for most of us is that in reality, life is much stormier? That the reality is much murkier and much scarier?



Life's pains... we all just have to ride it out before we chase our dreams. There are no easy solutions... no easy answers. We just have to breath deep and wait for it to subside.

Reality... is indeed much stormier, much murkier and much scarier that we actually thought or think of.

I have had such a happy solid childhood. I miss Pinky and HH Lero... my first friends and I can't help but wonder... how life treated them. Hope one day, we get to talk about this... One day perhaps...

Thank you Jomi Garrucho for allowing me to post your wonderful photos here :))
