Travelling by Sea

Noah's Ark did not have a tourist class did it?

Sometimes you just have to have Faith, especially if you preach of it too much. Normal people take risks, and sometimes these risks are of the same kind even when on our daily walking lives.

When I was as young as an elementary schooler, i've learned the art of standing still, keeping quiet while trying to be as agreeable as i could be, to find that middle ground between me and my parents if there's something we did not agree on, just to let them realize that i've made up my mind and nothing they can say would ever stop me.

So what they did was to give support, well, they didn't say anything much anyway because they were mostly reasonable, not too much analytical, and always shall i say, optimistic about things, and they knew i wasn't about to do something stupid. And if i did, it was because i was taking risks.

Life can never be without risks. Travelling by sea has it's own risks, and so as walking in a fucking sidewalk.

I've been travelling my entire life by sea, when i was young and when i was in college too. We didn't have much for us to board planes or whatsoever, especially if we had time in our hands to enjoy transport.

I always thought the sea port as someplace special to people, where you can find the serene scenes of human existence and humanity's dynamics, different people on the same ship looking forward, destined to dock somewhere.

These superferries and ships that take their course across the archipelago, these are not the same ships you take when you roll-in and roll-out from one province to it's next adjacent province.

These are bigger, and better. IF you think getting sea sick is easy when you are on a barge or a small boat, that is because the vessel is small enough, and you are small enough to feel both sway with the waves. IT shouldn;t be the case in larger vessels, as they take their routes across the islands, you wouldn't even notice it budge that may be mended by the speed,  well i never notice it unless there's storm or something.

I've seen people with newborn babies in vessels like these, and it wasn't too difficult to realize that , hey , everyone will just do fine in the sea. People have been doing this for centuries, did you think we're scattered all over the earth because of cebu pacific?

The point of the matter is, travelling by sea has it's own perks and risks. It may not be as safe as what statistical evidence may persuade you when travelling by air, but hey, aren't these planes one of the leading causes of Statistics?

Look, you embark the ship, be one with humanity, where everyone's equal and are not any different socially, neither biologically - no baby is more susceptible to a disease than the other, not even my son who's 8 months old - and it doesn't mean you are safer from viruses in a ship, than in a fucking crowded mall. Neither are you any more safer from accidents in a huge ship in a raging sea, than while asleep at home.

Everyone in the vessel will enjoy the travel, be safe on board and trust and have Faith.

Heck, even Noah was entrusted the last remaining living species to survive in a freakin wooden Ark.

So let's act like normal homo sapiens and attend your grandparents 30th wedding anniversary.
