VIDEO: MY FIRST FLIGHT




www.blessingnjoh.com




It was a cold winter day in January. A perfect flying temperature. I developed cold feet, literally and figuratively. This is the definition of irony: an aspiring pilot with a phobia for height.

I was excited about flying, yet terrified. I had nightmares the night before. What if I crash-land? Could we die today? I made sure I knew exactly where to find the emergency eviction switch in case the parachute was needed. Check. In place.

Prepared for take off, with a very broad grin on my face. Off I flew. I flew a few hours, did some stunts that made me feel like using the sick-bag. Then landed safely.

It was an awesome experience, I loved every nano-second of it.
I was born upside down. I crawled. I walked. I ran. I jumped. I flew, I fly.

Thanks for reading.

VIDEO: MODEL CONVENTION 2013

It was a great day. I was excited to be reporting from the annual Amsterdam Model Convention.

When we got to the venue, my plan was to do the intro right outside the convention centre but the snow would not let me and I did not have an umbrella with me.

Since part of the technical crew was out of the country, I called an old friend to come help out. She did a great job.

It was a long day for us.
Pitifully, I was not able to cover all aspects of the convention. At the end of the day, I was exhausted and sore.

Time to go home, the snow has worsened. But we did make a few new friends :)
