Last night, I just arrived from Seoul. As I was about to crossed the street to get an airport cab, I slipped and landed with my lower hip hitting the floor. I felt liked Triple H slammed by Batista directly to the steel stairs during their steel cage match. While being treated at the clinic, airport personnel talked about how that area is so accident prone. Actually, it is not my first time to slip in that area but have prevented myself from falling. I guess when you are too tired and anxious to get home, you tend to forget which areas of the airport are dangerous.

Funny thing though is when I was on the floor and aching, airport personnel approached me wanting to pick me up, I objected and requested not to be moved. Thanks to my training during high school with the Red Cross, I learned that in such situations, it is best to be handled by those knowledgeable of first aid. As I felt a bit better, I allowed myself to be picked up. What contributed to the fear of being mishandled is a recent news report where 2 men were victims of a hit-and-run incident. The policemen and town folks who picked them and put them in the police car obviously had no first-aid training. They could have aggravated their injuries more.

Next week, I'm tutoring a government official, working for the Ministry of Trade in Bhutan, about e-commerce. It is interesting to find the interest about this subject increasing once more.  

Last week, my book project with TechFactors.ph fully materialized. The book is about Introduction to I.T. Projects, meant for 4th year High School students. What I like about this opportunity is being able to introduce and document the Philippine Schools Cyberfair as the case study of the book.
