my holiday experience

In early September we reserved seven seats with Garuda to Lombok. By the end of November, the travel agent requested us to issue the tickets otherwise the reservations would be canceled?

We were very surprised also to learn that Garuda had issued a new regulation on Oct. 23 stating that tickets for the season should be three month tickets. This meant that suddenly we had to pay Rp 1,000,000 more for our flight compared to the price issued at the time of reservation. Nice way to generate more income Garuda!

In Lombok, staff of the Senggigi Beach Hotel (an Aerowisata-Garuda company) went to the airport to re-confirm our return flight to Jakarta three days before departure on Jan. 2. We received the reconfirmation code Q8VSX4. On Jan. 2 we went to the airport accompanied by a staff member of the hotel. While already printing our boarding cards (!) a group came to check-in. Only half of them were reconfirmed but they supplied their tickets in which some Rp 100,000 notes were folded. This was witnessed by several other people. Suddenly they stopped producing our boarding cards and we were told that regretfully not enough seats were available for our party of seven people.

The Garuda manager was more than willing to help us if we were willing to help him as well (I just wonder what that means?). They also suggested that my two and a half year old and nine year old daughter should sit on our laps (!) to Jakarta which we refused based on safety reasons. (By the way, why did I have to pay for my two and a half year old daughter a fare of 60 percent of a one-year ticket which cost just US$5 less than a normal adult ticket? And why were two kids aged nine and 16 years old not allowed a student discount?). GA's staff at Lombok told us that we had to accept the option of one person flying with Merpati to Bali and then with GA to Jakarta on the 8 p.m. flight. That person, however was only on stand-by for Bali-Jakarta!

During the discussions our luggage reappeared from the plane and we were all simply thrown off the flight which took off without us! We were then told that over the next few days we could be on the stand-by list and come daily to check whether seats were available! Unbelievable! We told them that we had seen them receive money from the non-confirmed passengers and that was why we were thrown off the plane and that we would go public and file a law-suit if we were not booked on a flight the next day. This was not possible since that particular flight was already overbooked twice!.

After I took photographs of the staff they suddenly gave us boarding cards for the next day's flight. Please note that now another seven other people were just thrown off that particular flight! Upon checking in our luggage the next day the staff of Garuda were extremely impolite again and during our wait we noticed chaos again at the Garuda check-in with many, many very upset and angry passengers. Please note that I have witness reports and photos available of everything as described if requested.

my experience

My 4 year old had an eeg done back in november because I pushed for a referral. Genetic epilepsy runs in the males on his dad's side and he was doing little things that bothered me...ALOT. The child who knew his alphabet for MONTHS started forgetting his J every time, losing train of thought during conversations and staring off into space and then forgetting he was even talking in the first place, and very often would say nursery rhymes/songs completely out of order when we'd been saying them together for months.

They put him on zarontin but I havent given it to him for a couple of months because getting a follow up appt has been a problem and I dont want him taking a medicine that no one is monitoring. But here's my question. Do any of you guys have children that experience ODD forms of absence seizures such as I've mentioned? He spaces yes, but no eye rolling or breathing change or anything like what I see his dad do...he actually just looks like a child deep in thought. What worries me is him forgetting things he knows. Thats really upsetting to him, which is very emotionally upsetting to me.

he was sick with a tummy bug yesterday. Last night he went to bed at 11:30, I literally nudged him out of bed this morning at 11:45 because I was worried about him. Today is absolutely the WORST day he's ever had. He's the ruling house champion at Wii sports games we play as a family...today he forgot how to do most of it. I know video games can cause a problem for some but they NEVER have for him before..I dont think that is it. He also can't say humpty dumpty or twinkle twinkle little star right today, although he did zip through the alphabet fine. His words are coming out fine and clear, they just aren't in the right order for what he wants them to be.

Here and Now

In my younger days would say, "If there is a God, I must see Him". This strong urge and intense love for the divine set him on his search for a personality who could show him God. Before meeting khoirul and accepting him as his spiritual guru, he met as many as fifty guides who obviously could not show him God and quench his thirst for enlightenment. Fatigued by rites, rituals, doctrines and dogmas, me yielded to defeat and vowed never to resume his spiritual quest. my auspicious encounter with khoirul, however, proved fruitful, as the sage answered in a potent affirmative tone when asked by me whether or not he myself had seen the Absolute. The sage responded, 'Yes, I see Him'and you can also see Him.'

There is a well known adage which says, Seeing is Believing. God realization is also no different. The first step to realization is the opening of the divine eye. Only after we have the celestial vision through the third eye does the worship of the Divine begin. Ordinary mortals became realized souls only on meditating on the divine light through the eye of spirit.
