Parents board flight, forget toddler at airport.
Source: Yahoo! News
OTTAWA (AFP) - Tickets, check. Passports, check. Luggage, check. Baby ... oops.
A family boarded a flight on Monday in westernmost Canada, and forgot their tot at the Vancouver international airport, media said Tuesday.
The 23-month-old boy's family had just arrived in Canada from the Philippines, but they were forced to repack their overweight bags before catching a connecting flight to Winnipeg, causing them to run late.
In their sprint to the gate, the family became separated.
The boy's father Jun Parreno, told local media he had thought his son was with his wife and the boy's grandparents, who ran ahead. They thought the boy was with his dad.
On the plane, the family members were seated separately and so did not immediately realize they had left the child behind.
Sometime later, a security guard found the boy, who speaks no English, wandering near the departure gate, and Air Canada officials tracked down his shocked parents on the flight.
Because the boy was so young, he was not issued a boarding pass and would have sat on a parent's lap during the flight, so airline personnel did not notice a passenger was missing.
According to the Vancouver Sun, airport security found a Tagalog-speaking Air Canada agent who looked after the child while his father flew 2,300 kilometers (1,400 miles) back to Vancouver to pick him up and then return to Winnipeg to rejoin the immigrant family on their first day in Canada.
The baby was kept in Air Canada's offices and staff found him some toys, said local media.
"Air Canada took good care of him," Parreno told the daily Winnipeg Free Press upon arrival. "I'm grateful."

Kasalanan ko pa ngayon kung hindi ko siya nakita?
Kahapon, noong pumunta ako sa garden are ng TriNoma, sa stage ng Starbucks, napansin ko na, walang audio eqiupments, mga taong manood kay Vanessa Carlton. Pumunta ako sa Concierge sa ground floor ng TriNoma, sa area ng Jollibee at McDonald's, doon ko nalaman na inilipat sa Cinema 7. Kasalanan ko pa ngayon kung inilipat yung venue sa Cinema 7?
Tapos, kanina lang, humihingi ako ng pera sa nanay ko ng pera, ayaw niya, dahil nakita ko na daw siya. Tinanong ko siya doon sa Glorietta, kay Elliot Yamin, sabi ng nanay ko, noon yun dahil "marami (pa) tayong pera". Tapos, may sinabi niya na humihingi ako sa sa tatay ko. Ewan ko lang kung papayagan ako, at bibigyan ako ng pera ng tatay ko.
Sa totoo lang, mga anak ng ibang tao, pinabibigyan nila, samantalang ako bihira lang ako pinabibigyan. Nakaka-walang gana itong magulang minsan.

Unplanned plan.
Planong manood ng Iron Man, pero hindi natuloy.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi natuloy.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi natuloy.
To pronounce or not pronounce.
I don't know why, every time I read a novel, I pronouce the what I read correctly.
But every time I had a job interview, I, sometimes mispronounce some words. And also, kapag nagsasalita ako ng English, hindi ako makapagsalita ng English na maayos.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit nangyayari mga mga ito sa akin.

On Jason Castro and Brooke White.
I know that this post is late. So what? This is my blog, not your blog./This blog is mine, not yours.
To be honest, I am somehow expecting that (both) Jason Castro and Brooke White, will be at the bottom two/2. And how come that Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson at the bottom two/2, although that they receive rave reviews from the three/3 judges?
I hope that the voters should listen to the comments of the three/3 judges.

Automatically turned off and on.
To be honest, I don't know why my cellphone automatically turned off, and automatically turned on, although that I turned off and turned on my Nokia 3230.
This is not the first time, happened to my cellphone. Since it was bought in Cyberzone, SM North Edsa, the same outcome.

Rain, rain, go away. Come another day.
Last Tuesday, April 22, during the early afternoon, the rain came, and then, for some reason/s, I no longer connected to the Internet. I have no idea why this happened.
After five/5 days, it was afternoon, Sunday, we have Internet.

Lines from the book, The Third Secret, by Steve Berry.
Arguing with the Holy Father is a fruitless endeavor.
There is no one so far removed from as a heretic.
The less open a heretic is, the more dangerous he would become.
Because loves knows no bounds, Eminence.
I advocate only that each individual must follow his heart.
The nature if our faith is that nothing can be added or taken away.
Our principles, as expounded by that Holy Father, are not impious and cannot be diluted.
Debate and discussion do nothing but foster and wise policies.
God is far wiser than any of is even begin to imagine.
Words can be a powerful effect.
The faithful would turn somewhere else for guidance.
We humans have a tendency to ignore that which we do not agree.
History teaches that there truly is an imperceptible line between good and evil.
Do not reject God's name yourselves so that would be rejected. Accept my messages, so that you would be accepted.
The kind of thing a troubled child might say about an abusive parent.
By believing, having faith, loving or Lord, and doing as He asks.
God's will is what drives is forward.
In fact, frank discussions was the entire purpose of the secret gathering.
May you reign be all that you deserve.
Love truly does conquer all.
A man possessed of no fear was dangerous thing.
Hard to argue with somebody who just save my life.
I have no responsibility for that which is unknown to me.
They want to know what you seemingly already know.
We must judge ourselves by the time in which we live.
Restrained love is not a pleasant matter.
I posses the courage to do what offer to be done because the Lord gives the strength.
For you, truth is the dreadful judge.
The devil himself will find it difficult dealing worth you.

Line from the novel, The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman.
What he choose, he will do harm, but maybe if he does, the right thing will come about if he chooses wrong.
God preserve me having to make at sort of choice.
perhaps, we don't mean the same thing by choice.
Death will sweep through all the world, it will be the triumph of despair, forever. The universe will all become nothing more than inter-looking machines, blind and empty, of thought, and feeling and like.
God help us of the come here.

Line from the novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, by J. K. Rowling.
Age is foolish and forgetful when underestimates youth.
There is nothing to be feared from a body, Harry, anymore than there is anything to be feared from darkness.
Dumbledore would have been more happier than anybody to think there was a little more love in this world.

Line from the novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J. K. Rowling.
We're all humans aren't we? Every human life is the same, and worth saving.
Because sometimes you've got to think about more than your own safety. Sometimes you've got to think about the greater good.
It is curious thing, Harry, But perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it.
Those who, like you, have leadership, thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must and find to their own surprise that they wear it.

Lines from the book, The Pilgrimage, by Paulo Coelho.
It took me six/6 days to read The Pilgrimage, by Paulo Coelho. Yes indeed. I read the straight six/6 days. From Wednesday, to Monday, that’s from March 5, 2008, up to March 10, 2008. I bought the book from Fully Booked in Gateway Mall, in Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City.
Actually, It was the book, Do Elephants Jump? by David Feldman I want to buy in the said bookstore, but unfortunately, the salesclerk I asked the said book was sold out, because, I am planning to apply in Fully Booked, in Powerbooks, or in A Different Bookstore. To be honest, I don’t know what is the name, of the position of the people, we see in FB, in PB, or in ADS, or even in National Bookstore.
The book, The Pilgrimage, and another/other Paulo Coelho book, The Alchemist, I like more the latter, than the former, don’t ask me, because, I don’t know.
We all is said and done, if we believe in God, we have to believe that God is just.
It would be a divine injustice to allow only those people who learned and who had the time and money to buy expensive books to have access to true knowledge.
Adapting oneself to new situation and receiving in return all of the thousands that life generously offers to those who seek them.
Everything in our surroundings reflected an uneasy peace, the peace of a world that was still in the process of growing certain.
We always know which is the best road to follow, but we follow only the Road that we have accustomed to.
That’s the way it always. We are only able to be kind to ourselves at the few times when we severity.
Of all the ways we have found to hurt ourselves, the worst has been love. We are always suffering, because of someone who doesn’t love use, or someone who as left us, or someone who won’t leave us. If we are alone, it is because no one wants us; of we are married, we transform the marriage into slavery. What a terrible thing.
Bur God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to put o shame the things which are mighty.
People don’t like to ask too much of life because they are afraid they will be defeated. But if someone wants to the good fight, that person must view the world as if it were a marvelous treasure waiting to be discovered and won.
The sensation of happiness occurred because your action was suffused with agape.
I have a feeling we are dealing with something that relates to a higher form of love.
The time will come for you to experience that intense love – the love that consumes the one who loves. Meanwhile, be happy that this love has manifested itself in you.
Fans who lack of faith can make a team lose a game it is already winning.
And what God had provided to humans as their noblest sentiment would become a source of hatred and destructiveness.
That’s the beautiful side of love. The love that dares, the love for two older strangers who have come from nowhere and will be gone tomorrow – gone into a world where she would lie to travel, too
Let us speak of true love, which grows and grows and makes people wise.
That’s frustrated love, with its win kind of happiness.
If the don’t allow themselves to be influenced by the hypocrisy of the love that dominated the past generation, the world will be a different place.
Human beings are the only ones in nature who are aware that they will die. For that reason and only for that reason, I have a profound respect for the human race, and I believe that its future is going to be much better than its present. Even knowing that their days are numbered, and that everything will end when they least expect it, people make of their lives. A battle that is worthy of a being with eternal life. What people regard as vanity – leaving great works, having children, acting in such as to prevent one’s name from being forgotten – I regard as the highest position of human dignity.
Still, being fragile creatures, humans always try to hide from themselves the certainty that they will die. They do not see that it is death itself that motivates them to the best things of their lives. They are afraid to step into the dark, afraid of the unknown, and their only way of conquering that fear is to ignore the fact that their days are numbered. They do not see that with an awareness of death, they would be able to be even more daring to go much farther in their daily conquest, because then they would have nothing to lose – for death is inevitable.
Death is our constant companion, and it is death that gives each person’s life its true meaning. But in order to see the real face of our death, we first have to know of all the anxieties and terrors that the simple mention of its name is able to evoke in any human being.
You are in a spot that is absolutely safe, with one exception: the danger created by your fear.
Actually, I was more frightened by the way in which I would die than by death itself.
But no matter how long we have lived, when night falls it arouses the hidden fears that have been there in our souls since we were. The darker it grew, the less comfortable I become.
Why be fearful of saying no to someone or of leaving something undone when the most important thing of all was to enjoy life fully.
But you wanted to be brave when it was enough to have been enough.
You have not broken a vow just because you have used your decision-making ability. A pilgrim is never prevented from using your ability.
Everybody in the world offers only pain as penance.
Wisdom has value only if it helps is to overcome some obstacle.
And most important, that you have to find support for yourself in the love that consumes during every minute of the climb, because it is love which directs and justifies your step.
When we love and believe from the bottom of our heart, we feel ourselves to be stronger that anyone in the world, and we feel a serenity that is based on the certainty that nothing can shake our faith. This unusual strength allows us always to make the right decision at the right decision at the right time, and when we always achieve our goal, we amazed at or own capabilities.
Enthusiasm normally manifests itself with all of its force during the first years of our lives.
Don’t star creating fantasies in a world that is already extraordinary.
Your confidence and your senses of mastery depend a great deal on hoe you react to react to threats made by others.
A threat leads to nothing if it is nothing accepted.
When you sensed the presence of something positive your imagination concluded that someone had arrived to help you
A disciple such as you can never imitate his guide his guide’s steps. You have your own way of living your life, of dealing with problems, and of winning. Winning. Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself.
Once a problem is solved, its simplicity is amazing.
A concrete desire to do battle against everything that is unsatisfying in one’s everyday life.
But there are problems in our lives that requires us to choose between one way and another. Every problem, like a business decision, the break up of a relationship, a social obligation. Each of these small decisions we have to make, throughout our lives, might represent a choice between life and death. When you leave the house in the morning on your way to work, you might choose one means of transportation that will drop you off safe and sound, or another that is going to crash and kill its passengers. This is a radical example of how a simple decision may affect us for the rest of our lives.
The only way to make the right decision is to know what the wring decision. You have to examine the other path, with fear and without being morbid, and then decide.
Our enemy always represents our weaker side.
Life always teaches us more than the Road to Santiago does. But we don’t have much faith in what life teaches us.
People who consider themselves to be wise are often indecisive when command is called for and rebellious when they are called upon to obey. They are ashamed to give orders is dishonorable or receive.
Each of us knows the answers, even before someone tells us what they are. Life teaches us lessons every minute, and the secret is to accept. That in our daily lives can we show ourselves to be as wise as Solomon and as powerful as Alexander the Great. But we become aware of this only when we are forced to teach other and to participate in adventure as extravagant as this has been.
May that which is glorified be glorified in the Lord.
People do have a tendency about things that do not even exist, while they fail to learn the lessons that are before their eyes.
The only reward for seeking a reward is to what to do with that reward.
Few can accept the burden of their own victory: must give up their dreams when they see that they can be realized. They refuse to fight the good fight because they do not know what to do with their own happiness they ate imprisoned by the things of the world.
It is true that people always arrived at the right moment at the place where someone waits them.

If the don’t allow themselves to be influenced by the hypocrisy of the love that dominated the past generation, the world will be a different place.
Human beings are the only ones in nature who are aware that they will die. For that reason and only for that reason, I have a profound respect for the human race, and I believe that its future is going to be much better than its present. Even knowing that their days are numbered, and that everything will end when they least expect it, people make of their lives. A battle that is worthy of a being with eternal life. What people regard as vanity – leaving great works, having children, acting in such as to prevent one’s name from being forgotten – I regard as the highest position of human dignity.
Still, being fragile creatures, humans always try to hide from themselves the certainty that they will die. They do not see that it is death itself that motivates them to the best things of their lives. They are afraid to step into the dark, afraid of the unknown, and their only way of conquering that fear is to ignore the fact that their days are numbered. They do not see that with an awareness of death, they would be able to be even more daring to go much farther in their daily conquest, because then they would have nothing to lose – for death is inevitable.
Death is our constant companion, and it is death that gives each person’s life its true meaning. But in order to see the real face of our death, we first have to know of all the anxieties and terrors that the simple mention of its name is able to evoke in any human being.
You are in a spot that is absolutely safe, with one exception: the danger created by your fear.
Actually, I was more frightened by the way in which I would die than by death itself.
But no matter how long we have lived, when night falls it arouses the hidden fears that have been there in our souls since we were. The darker it grew, the less comfortable I become.
Why be fearful of saying no to someone or of leaving something undone when the most important thing of all was to enjoy life fully.
But you wanted to be brave when it was enough to have been enough.
You have not broken a vow just because you have used your decision-making ability. A pilgrim is never prevented from using your ability.
Everybody in the world offers only pain as penance.
Wisdom has value only if it helps is to overcome some obstacle.
And most important, that you have to find support for yourself in the love that consumes during every minute of the climb, because it is love which directs and justifies your step.
When we love and believe from the bottom of our heart, we feel ourselves to be stronger that anyone in the world, and we feel a serenity that is based on the certainty that nothing can shake our faith. This unusual strength allows us always to make the right decision at the right decision at the right time, and when we always achieve our goal, we amazed at or own capabilities.
Enthusiasm normally manifests itself with all of its force during the first years of our lives.
Don’t star creating fantasies in a world that is already extraordinary.
Your confidence and your senses of mastery depend a great deal on hoe you react to react to threats made by others.
A threat leads to nothing if it is nothing accepted.
When you sensed the presence of something positive your imagination concluded that someone had arrived to help you
A disciple such as you can never imitate his guide his guide’s steps. You have your own way of living your life, of dealing with problems, and of winning. Winning. Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself.
Once a problem is solved, its simplicity is amazing.
A concrete desire to do battle against everything that is unsatisfying in one’s everyday life.
But there are problems in our lives that requires us to choose between one way and another. Every problem, like a business decision, the break up of a relationship, a social obligation. Each of these small decisions we have to make, throughout our lives, might represent a choice between life and death. When you leave the house in the morning on your way to work, you might choose one means of transportation that will drop you off safe and sound, or another that is going to crash and kill its passengers. This is a radical example of how a simple decision may affect us for the rest of our lives.
The only way to make the right decision is to know what the wring decision. You have to examine the other path, with fear and without being morbid, and then decide.
Our enemy always represents our weaker side.
Life always teaches us more than the Road to Santiago does. But we don’t have much faith in what life teaches us.
People who consider themselves to be wise are often indecisive when command is called for and rebellious when they are called upon to obey. They are ashamed to give orders is dishonorable or receive.
Each of us knows the answers, even before someone tells us what they are. Life teaches us lessons every minute, and the secret is to accept. That in our daily lives can we show ourselves to be as wise as Solomon and as powerful as Alexander the Great. But we become aware of this only when we are forced to teach other and to participate in adventure as extravagant as this has been.
May that which is glorified be glorified in the Lord.
People do have a tendency about things that do not even exist, while they fail to learn the lessons that are before their eyes.
The only reward for seeking a reward is to what to do with that reward.
Few can accept the burden of their own victory: must give up their dreams when they see that they can be realized. They refuse to fight the good fight because they do not know what to do with their own happiness they ate imprisoned by the things of the world.
It is true that people always arrived at the right moment at the place where someone waits them.
