Aerocadet: i believe I could but I don't get too much free-time from work, or atleast definately not during the week. To be honest, I'm a little bit worried about getting my PPL (or working towards it) as when i do eventually start my dream, I definately want 100% to go integrated and all schemes start from ab-initio and some even disqualify you if you hold a PPL I believe.
But you're right, I should service my thirst along the route, Hell, even my graduate (same company) housemate is atleast micro-lighting! I also dont have much spare-cash as I'm still recovering from Uni and I'm only on a graduate salary of £25.5k.
Off-Topic but you're from Manila, pretty cool My parents live there at the moment as part of the Diplomatic staff at the British Embassy!
