Friday Na!

Survived One Week!!

I pretty much had a good sleep. I woke up 6AM and prepared my breakfast. I had rice and vienna sausage na binaon ko from Manila. I also prepared coffee with lots of milk on it. Tapos ko kumain, nagpahinga lang then naligo na ko. After taking a bath, inayos ko na sarili ko so I can keep my toiletries into my luggage dahil lilipat nga kami ng hotel. Exactly 8AM, we check out of Grand Hotel Enterprise. It was 16 degrees outside but it was really pretty much freezing because its raining here - as in. And as in, malamig pa ren. May sipon pa ren ako pero di na ko nilalamig.

We rode a cab - nasa 9 dollars mahigit ung bill namen. Nakapag check in naman kami agad. The room was available so the receptionist just handed over our key. We have 2 queen size bed on each room. It was pretty big - business suite ang tawag. malaki sya compared before but since it was a hotel, wala syang microwave or anything. so un lang. pero sunday afternoon, we're checking out again. and head to grand chancellor hotel.

after this training, baka mag depot lang kami. :)
bargain stuff!

Have Been Sick Lately

.. day 4
September 27, 2007

Medyo maaga ko nagising today and on time naman. Hindi ako puyat pero hirap akong bumangon. Mainit pakiramdam ko tapos singa ko ng singa. Paggising ko po eh nagtimpla lang me ng coffee. Bumili pala ko milk kahapon, 1L lang tapos AUD1 mahigit lang naman. Ayun, nilagyan ko ng milk ung coffee ko. tapos ininit ko ung sandwich na tira ko last day - yeah yeah, super tipid. Maybe the fucking reason why i'm getting sick is because wala akong resistensya - hahaha, parang awa nio na. bigay nio na CA namen. :p

Naglunch kami ni myds sa Nando's malapit dito, hindi kumain si lyn nd misha, so di sila kasama. hindi kami nagmeeting nung lunch, instead 1PM kami pinabalik for the meeting. ayos naman ung food, 3small pieces lang na pork barbecue, tapos fries. ok naman sya. after lunch we had a meeting with the manager and all of the australian trainers. Confirmed - we're staying here a week more. Instead of us going home on the 6th, we're going home a week after that which is 13 We just have to fix our bookings, flights and all that.

Tapos after the meeting, we headed to the classroom ulet to finish training.

After the class, we will be heading to the Enterprise Hotel in Spencer street para ipaalam sa hotel na magchecheck in kami tomorrow morning. We will be transferring hotel because it's AFl grand finals. As in, everyone's going to Melbourne to watch the finals - and not only that, they booked and had hotel reservations kaya super madaming tao this weekend. ata that's the same reason why we'll be tranferring hotel - ahahaay. and regular check out dito is 11AM, tapos check in eh 2PM. so it means di kami pede mag check in sa Enterprise ng 2PM dahil nasa trabaho pa kami nun. Pero di din namn magandang dalhin bagahe namen dito sa office - nakakahiya. So early morning tomorrow mga 7AM, magchecheck out na kami dito sa Grand Chancellor Hotel then derecho sa enterprise hotel then derecho sa work.

Hindi naman mahirap work, kaso bago talaga sya - mobile, exciting.

antok na antok na po ko. super antok na ko dito sa training. uwian na, marami kaming lalakarin ngayon so goodluck samen.

Day 2 @ Work

Day 2 @ work

Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Grabe, I woke up 6:30AM. Ewan ba parang masarap matulog sa ilalim ng mga blankets. Kaya hayun, halos nagmamadali ako pagbangon ko. Paggising ko kanina sabay ligo tapos bihis. e hindi ako sanay ng walang mainit sa sikmura ko, kaya kahit medyo eksaktong 8 na kami naka alis ng bahay, i made sure na nakain ko ung natabi kong food kahapon. harhar - super tipid in fairness!

after breakfast, we all headed na for work. lakad na naman as usual, kakahingal in super fairness. the weather this morning is a-ok. malamig pero hindi windy or hindi sobrang lamig - masarap sya> pero di ko tinikman ha, hehe. di naman kami na late sa pagpasok sa work, parang kami pa nga unang unang dumating dito sa training eh.

tapos un, pinagcheck lang kami ng email for about 45 minutes or less than that tapos pinag buddy up na kami for 2++ hours. grabe ung ka-buddy ko but she's nice naman, very accomodating kaso un nga, me prob lang akong konti sa kanya, hehehe. bad ko ba? tapos after nun dito na kami sa training room, wait lang namen kung anong instructions samen na gagawin namen pa.

We're finishing early today. Yahu!! makakalibot na muna kami sa streets ng Melbourne. :)

First Day of Work @ Melbourne

We're at 628 QBE Building, Bourke St. Melbourne.

Nagising ako this day before 5:30AM, mga 5:20australian time, tapos nagwashroom - tapos nakatulog ulet. I had breakfast tska ung soup na dala nung isang cotrainer ko. then un, all set na kami for training. It took us 30 minutes to walk from the hotel to the teletech site. Pagdating dito sa training, ok naman. wala pang formal start so getting to know you lang from the other trainers and from Tash ung Training Manager dito. Meeting meeting kami, assessing kung ano ung pagaaralan within the next days pero proper training will be wednesday pa. So bukas, papasok pa ren kami pero hindi pa training. Tomorrow daw aayusin ung mga logins namen kung anong kelangan namen and all that - so papasok pa ren kami.

___________________________

I actually wanted to go back to Manila na, ayoko na ng ganitong hassle, parang ayoko na umulit. Alang pera, di maganda accomodation, nung nasa plane nga ako parang gusto kong tumalon sa labas, ayoko na pumunta dito. La lang, nakakapagod na. Akala ng iba, masaya pumunta ng ibang bansa. Masaya kung ung expectations mo is set na ganito lang ang meron, na eto ang meron, na ganitong time magche check in. Lam mo un, 2PM pa, we landed 6AM - imagine, di man lang nila naiisip na ano gagawin namen, san kami pupunta, e kung solo si myda or solo ako or anything... pano di ba kung merong mangyari samen. hay. masaya kung me pera, masaya kung maganda ung kwarto mo. Hotel na hotel ung samen eh, hindi tulad nung residential suite na tinirhan namen before. hay hon. ang hirap maging trainer, ang hirap ng ganitong buhay. ung pera na hawak ko titipirin ko na lang, wish ko lang matipid ko sya talaga.

I love you hon.
Happy 25th monthsary!!!

After 8 hours of being on Plane

Sunday, September 23, 2007

We landed as early as 6AM and had regular checks here and there - grabe strict ng airport dito. After landing, we headed to get our bags. Before the bags immigration check muna. Na hold na naman ako sa immigration as expected. Actually lahat kami nahold, because the middle initial or middle name being not written in our VISA. Sabi nga ni Lyn, ung embassy naman ng OZ ang nagproprocess nun, bakit di pa nila lagyan. Anyway, it take us about 30 minutes or more para magantayan kaming lahat. When we're all done, we got our bags na. After that baggage checking naman. We need to declare whatever goods, foods, native stuff we have with us so they have to make kalkal of all the goods we have inside our bags. Hindi naman nila cinonfiscate ung mga dala namin, pinatuloy naman kami. So we're good. Finally nasa arrival na kami. Our driver was waiting for us that time. Sumakay kami sa parang coaster na inarkila ng hotel. Tapos un, hinatid kami sa Grand Chancellor Hotel. It was windy that morning, so it was fucking freezing. :) Punta kami sa reception - pero 2PM pa daw nagpapacheck-in so therefore we left our things lang tapos napagkaisahan na magbreakfast muna. Pero grabe naman, hinihingan kami ng hotel ng credit card or 100AUD for each room. Two rooms naka reserve samen so we have to raise 200AUD para pang deposit sa room na ibabalik daw once we check in at walang nawala sa room - parang collateral. Since wala kaming 100AUD or 200 to be exact, I gave my citibank credit card. Sabi frozen naman ung 200AUD na un until we check out. Sabi ko nga wala na kong credit sa credit card ko so kahit kaskasin nila un ng kaskasin tatalbog din un - so no worries at all with the card! :D It's all good naman. Collateral lang talaga un. Tapos un, umalis muna kami at iniwan namen gamit namen sa hotel. Haay, eto na ung adventure ng buhay ko sa Melbourne.
After leaving our things wala naman mashadong tao sa kalye so lakad lakad lang kami. Nagbreakfast kami sa hungry jacks - 4++AUD - medyo mahal pero sinobrahan ko na breakfast ko para di ako magutom masyado. My manager has a friend here na tinotour kami parati when we're here.. may Christian Service sya dito and was inviting us to come over kung kaya daw namen. Etong isa kong kasama lang naman may contact, so in short, napagkaisahan na since wala naman kaming mapuntahan, gora lang kami. So un, punta kami dun sa Caroline Springs chorva at hinanap namen ung christian service na un. pagpunta namen, puro mga pilipino - pero di naman lahat, nakaktuwa sila - kaso super borlog na talaga ko as in super pagod na pagod. Ung nagpunta kami sa ALIVE ALIVE, sorry but that's how easy it is to describe. pero ayos lang naman, it was intimate. di naman sya masyadong matagal. nakinig lang kami ng service sandali, kumanta tapos tinapos na ren namin ung service. after that, pinagcoffee naman kami. halo halo mga andun, me puti me black, pilipino at kana. me mga bata din. kapag weekend kasi late nagbubukas mga stores so dun na lang talaga namin naisipan pumunta. after that, pinag coffee kami nila, nagchika chika lang ng mga stories nila about staying here, and all. konting picture picture tapos tinreat na naman kami nung friend nung manager namen, this time for lunch naman. parang ang labas eh pumunta kami dun para magpalibre - hahaha. dahil wala kaming mga pera! wihihihi. tapos hinatid pa kami sa papunta sa hotel pabalik, wihihihi, kelangan namen kumapit sa patalim, wihihi. After we were dropped off, naka widraw ako ng money good for one week.
After checking in, we found out twin beds pala ung mga rooms, so myda decided to join misha then kaming dalawa ni lyn sa kwarto. I was so stressed and so sleepy, rested lang and watching TV while waiting for lyn to complete her bath. after nun naligo na ko, and nagpahinga. Wala kaming kahit ano sa room, meron kaming twin bed, a small ref na puno ng drinks, few chicha na patikim lang pero lahat un me bayad so hndi namen pwedeng galawin Ang tanging complimentary sa room eh kape na walang MILK, as in walang creamer na kasama. Walang microwave, walang plato, walang kutsra tinidor. Kaya etong si myda and lyn, pumunta sa baba (reception) to request - buti naman pinagbigyan kami so ayun, nakakuha kami ng microwave, plates and fork and knife - alang kutsara -- lahat nasa kwarto nila myda. At ayun po, nakatulog na ko - di na nagising.

My Second Overseas Experience

Really, Shit happens.

Saturday, September 22
Normal stuff lang naman ung sa airport. Hindi naman ako masyado nakatulog. Nasa apatan kami. Sa dulo isang lalake na Vietnamese katabi nung isang kasama ko na si Lyn, katabi ko naman lalaki din na Australyano (siguro). sa harap ko si Misha, sa harap ni Lyn si Myda. Katabi ni Myda girl, katabi sa kabila, guy naman. Ung lalake sa tabi ko hindi man lang tumayo the entire trip, for 6 fucking hours hindi ako makaihi man lang. a**hole talaga, paksyet sya kung sino man sya. Nagttxt ako nung pagpasok ko ng airplane so ung katabi ko super react naman na I don't care about the "no cellphone signs" daw or whatsoever. Nabwiset talaga ko kaya di ko sya pinansin the entire trip, ni hindi ko nililingon ung ungas kong katabi. Buti nga ok naman sya at hindi naglelean pag natutulog or whatsoever. kaso lang the entire trip tulog sya, gumigising lang pag kakain. Ampucha, nakaihi lang ako nung tumayo si lyn at umihi at tumayo ung katabi nya - after 6hrs un - huhu. next time, promise, we're checking in as early as possible na para walang hassle sa mga bwiset na mga katabi. huhu.

Be Gone for 2 Weeks

I know, I'll be blogless again.

It's past 1PM, I'm already packed, ready to go. I just have to take a bath later and dress up for another long trip.

I'll be with PAL again, my trip is 8PM and supposed to land in Australia at 8AM (their time). I'll be joining another workshop training and I'm supposed to train it here in our Bacoor Site. Badly, I needed some money - pero super short talaga ko. Salary last time wasn't enough, haaaaaaaaaay, I'm not yet blown and freaked out but sooner or later, I will be.

Come to think of it, last time na umalis ako about a month ago I have my period then, and it was also raining that time, same same now - it's raining outside.

I'll post again if I have time. :)

Bye for now.

Freaky Friday

The news is in, we're heading to AUstralia again tomorrow. Haaaaaaaaay, I don't know if I'll be happy or what or whatever. I don't have money, we have nothing. Our pocket money is still being processed so goodluck na lang sa mga credit cards and advance chorveees. Haaaaaaaay.

I'm alone with the class supporting whatever they need so medyo super busy ako, take note - di pa ko nakakapagpaload ng needed amount.

Super goodluck talaga sa mga super things na kelangan kong gawin at magawa. Naman! hirap ng life!

Remyxx Get Together

After about more than a year, REMYXX finally has set aside some time to see each other; or at least for me, rina, hazel and ivy!

pasalubong giving - it should be, but we couldn't stop talking from the start till end of the night!

we decided to meet in Glorietta last night. Rina was there with her brother and shopped for few goodies while waiting for us. Hazel arrived before me then Ivy. Both of the girls (hazel and rina) with rina's brother are huddling in McDo when I got there. We exhanged stories while waiting for Ivy. after about ordering an ice cream (by rina :) ), ivy finally arrived. Jologs na kung jologs but there were picture taking and so many laughing out loud. It has been really a long time. After some time, we headed to greenbelt to make tambay. That's when we hand over our pasalubong. Rina gave ivy a shimmering lavander lotion from Victorias Secret and a kikay bag. Hazel got a Victoria Secret Perfume and an Aeria super see-through underwear in blue green color. I got another Victoria Secret shimmering lotion and a matching Aeria super see-through underwear with Bax but in old rose color. -- Thanks for all the pasalubong sis!

After a while I gave my girlfriends the boomerang I bought from Australia. I know it's not even personalized but I've been to Australia for only 2 weeks, no really time to shop that much - sorry girls. I'll make bawi na lang.

We went back to the mall to grab some snack sine Rina has been craving for a palabok. Kwentuhan and kainan it is!

The rest - missing in action... paramdam na lang mga girls.

The night ended when Marvin picked me up from Glorietta to have a late night dinner. I made paalam to go ahead and I'll make sure to see them again.

Love you all remyxx! :)

PS. I was able to watch Entourage later that --- morning :)
nice episode. :)

Fresh from Australia!!!

Yes! Yes! I'm back after two weeks of being away without my blog - paksyet kasi, ala akong laptop noh, di katulad ng iba jan - haha, nakakablog in a roaming mode!

Anyway, my blog has been put to sleep because I have to fly to Australia for a Training/ Workshop there. Whew, it was an experience worth remembering and every second of it was soooooooo worth it.

We, together with 3 co-trainers, flew last Saturday, August 18 to Melbourne, Australia. It was a direct flight so no hassles really of going down the plane and all that. Our company's travel agency booked us for the 9PM flight. We landed on Melbourne on August 19, 8AM (Australian Time). Actually, it was an 8hour trip but Melbourne time is advanced by 2hours.

Two weeks lang ako dun pero I really enjoyed every minute I spent there. Parang I felt na kaya ko at gusto kong mabuhay dun. I never had an experience of a COLD WEATHER. As in naman, there were times na doble doble jackets ko sa sobrang lamig. Meron pang time na 15 degrees Celsius and temperature nila na windy pa - whoah, as in malamig - nice nice nice. Ang pinaka gusto ko eh ung time na pag umaga or anytime during the day, pag humihinga ka eh may usok na lumalabas sa bibig moh, haha - kala ko sa movies lang un eh.

Naka ikot din ako sa city ng Melbourne although sa suburb talaga kami nagstay for two weeks. I didn't get to see much but I saw the Melbourne Aquarium and Pixar. I was able to shop goods din for my family and my extended family. haaaaaaaaaaaay.

Nagkanda loko loko din kami ng mga kasama ko sa airport! grabe talagang experience itoh.

Anyway, lam ko sis, ikaw lang ang fan ng blog ko - haha, but kung sakaling meron pang iba - I'll make sure to update my blog with the things that happened to me in Australia! I'm excited to share it sana excited din kayo magbasa.

Sis, uuwi ka na! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
