A Dream Came True

I just wanna share one my experience of having a dream come true. Not really a dream exactly but this one has been one of my "desired" things in my life. As silly as it seems, this dream is to visit the bridge of a ship - whatever ship it may be. I just found it interesting on how they command the ship or what are their machines are since those are really unusual for me knowing the fact that marine courses are not really for women (as I was taught). And so, the dream remained as it is.

But without anticipating it, that dream came true. Last two weeks, when we were boarding to Bohol through Superferry 1 with Ninz, he unexpectedly stumbled upon his ex-officers during his apprenticeship time. When we were at the deck, his former 2/m passed by and that's when they started their conversation knowing the fact that these people were his mentors during his neophyte days and that they weren't able to see each other already for the past years. And so, to make the long story short, we ended up going to the bridge to see the chiefmate of the ship who is also a friend of his. Here are some pics I took while listening on their conversation:

"control area" (sorry but really don't know the name exactly, i've yet to ask ninz..)

Honestly, really didn't expect this to happen. Thanks to Ninz. Their machines may not really be the "state-of-the-art" kind according to Ninz but nevertheless, it's the bridge, right? And I'm sure that not all gals have a chance to visit this part of the ship unless you're some kind of a VIP..hehe
