Flying to Winter Wonderland

Im off to another adventure. This time Around the Smallest Continent, Australia and I just wanna share my wonderful experience flying with Singapore Airlines.It is my First time to Fly with Singapore Airlines. Id usually fly with Philippine Airlines and other local airlines for some time, but since there was no flight from manila to perth on the PAL routes our agent booked us for Singapore Airlines. I would give an A+ for their service. Upon boarding the plane youll find a pillow and blanket to keep you warm. Then they got hot towels for your hands to cleanse and relax youre tired hands. After take off they give away this headphones that you would attach to the arm of the seat for you to be able to use the interactive screen in either listening to music, watching movies playing games and stuff. I didnt actually used my ipod this time to be entertained during the long flight. Also the staff assists you in anything you need and youll not be hesitant to ask them anything if you just press the little button on your front seat.Let me share how i discovered that little button to call the steward.I just actually saw the button lighting and wondered what was that for , i thought it was for the tv screen but then suddenly the steward approached me because he noticed the light above my chair.So i was like oh cool so i kept asking for drinks:") the fact that ive been munching on mini toblerone the whole trip:)

FOOD! i love the inflight meals.Complete with appetizer, side dish, maincourse,pastries desert and your choice of drink, this time I got red wine.Dont I look so happy? because I am indeed satisfied because I got  my good sleep with music in my ears just like how i want to.

After the 3 hour flight to Singapore we got a chance to go around Changi Airport.I love the Amenities of this airport. not to be mean to my home country but then this airport is so nice youll never get bored. Aside from the array of shops in each terminal they got mini parks , lounges, free foot massage and internet! Cool right! Check out the next series of Photos for some shots I took around the Airport.

Im Loving the indoor orchid arangements at their Airport. Im not a person with a green hand but then I love seeing different kinds of Plants and specially flowers. In singapore I still want to go back and look at that botanical Garden which i missed visiting when i went there a year ago. The Set up arond the airport was really nice, it works well to attract tourist not just to stop over singapore but to stay and visit the beauty of their country.Luckily the terminal of our connecting flight was near the Butterfly Garden and the Koi lounge.

Its not that big but there a numerous species of butterflies you could see in the butterfly garden. Maybe im always amazed. but the butterflies are definitely pretty.So lovely.Definitely go there when youre stopping by Changi Airport.

Last but not the Least was my Favorite:) the Free Foot Massage Machine. ITS FREE! and because im off for long walks for my 58 Day trip. I got a few minutes to get a massage before boarding to our connecting flight to perth.

IM OFF TO AUSTRALIA MATE! Watch out for more blogposts about My Aussie Adventure.! First stop Perth.Ciao for now.

Hows School for some and Holidays for the Others?

Simula ng Pagbuo ng Pangarap

Ika-9 ng Hunyo, magkahalong saya takot at kaba ang aking nararamdaman. Pilit ko parin tinatatak sa aking atak na matapos ang halos ilang taon ng pagaaral ay magtatapos na rin ako sa kolehiyo nandito na ako para harapin ang tinatawag kong "real world". Sa aking pananatili sa Pamantasan ng De La Salle Manila ay namulat ako sa una ibat ibang klase ng tao natuto makihalubilo at makibagay sa kada termino na magbabao ang aking mga kaklase. Natuto rin ako sumailalim sa mahigpit na oras na binibigay para tapusin ang aking mga takda bilang Trisem ang systema sa paaralan. Natuto rin akong magbalanse at tumantsa ng oras. Natuto rin ako na maging malakas at maniwala sa sariling kakayahan sa mga panahong ninais kong sumuko sa pressure at stress.Sa lahat naman ay masasabi ko sulit ang lahat ng paghihirap.

Maraming magagandang karanasan ang ibinigay sa akin ng DLSU. Bukod sa obvious na pagkakakilala ko sa isang mahalagang lalaki sa buhay ko na nagngangalang Cire Cuevo. Ang aking mga kaibigan na nanatili sa aking tabi sa mga napakasayang araw at sa mga napakalungkot na mga araw.Napakaswerte ko at sakanila nakahanap ako ngmga "kuya" na kahit imposible na mangyari ay nagkaroon parin ako ng kuya at napakabait nilang mga kuya.Ngunit bukod sa mga kaibigang aking nakilala ay pinakamasaya ang aking karanasan sa organisasyong Danum. Maraming aktibidad na nangyari sa danum kung saan lalo ko nakilala ang aking mga ka-course, bukod sa mga bigating bisita ng industriya. maraming payo ang aking nakuha galing sa mga ito lalo na nung maging propesor ko si sir lourd de veyra ng TV 5.Maswerte ako at dumating itong mga taong ito sa buhay ko na kahit kailan hindi ko malilimutan.

Nagtapos ako ng mayroong dalawang parangal. Ang Honorable Mention bilang nakapagtapos ako ng mayroong cgpa na 3.0 pataas at ang Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis. Di ko naman talaga inaasahan na magtatapos ako ng may medalya nung una ako pumasok sa DLSU.Isang malaking ngiti na lamang nagagawa ko kapag nalalaman ko na mayroon akong pagasa. Pero iba nga naman talaga ang feeling pag nahawakan mo na at naisabit sa iyong toga ang medalya. Sulit ang mga puyat at hirap na aking dinanas pagkat nagkaroon ito ng magandang bunga. Maraming salamat sa aking mga propesor na nagturo at gumabay saakin.di ko malilimutan ang inyong mga itinuro.

Sa aking pagmamartsa at pagakyat sa entablado mayroon isang tao na sumagi sa isip ko.Hinihiling ko na sana nabubuhay padin ang aking ama na alam kong magiging napakaproud sa akin. O kahit di man siya personal na nandito.Alam ko at nakikita ko ang napakasayang mga ngiti at mata nito na nanunuod sa akin sa itaas. Para sayo inyo ito mama at papa. Hindi ko man kaya maging perpektong anak sinubukan ko at ginawa ko sa abot ng aking makakaya.

Matapos ang Seremonya ng Pagtatapos ay nagtungo kami sa Fish & co. sa Mall of Asia. Isang maliit na salo salo kasama ang mg minamahal ko. Puno ng saya ang pagsasalo. Busog na busog ako! Ito ang ilan sa mga litrato na nakuha sa mga sandaling iyon.

 Ang sarap ng pagkain! eto ilan sa mga litrato ng pagkain ng kaunti ay matakam naman kayo.:)

Ang saya saya ko sa araw na ito. Ito na talaga iyon ang aking pagtatapos Ang simula ng pagtupad ng aking mga pinapangarap. Matutupad ko kaya ito? Abangan ang susunod na mga kabanata.

CONGRATULATIONS SA LAHAT NG MGA NAGTAPOS!

After the Recognition day I met up with my friend jaime and we went to cire's class to chill since their prof wasnt there and it was hot outside. Good for me since the toga was hot and i needed some air:) heres a picture of me & cire

Headed next to our Baccalaureate Mass then after was Batch Graduating Picture Taking.While waiting for our turn we got a chance to take photos together with my Blockmates. Here are some of them.

 Time flies so fast and I shall march a few days from now. I got my Awards earlier and im still in shock that i would be able to get these. It was unexpected specially to be best int hesis since my i was so intimidated by some of my classmates' thesis topic which are so deep and analytical compared to mine which is new topic and a new discovery.Still I thak everyone who were with me in my academic years. This is not goodbye, Ill see you soon and work with you in the "real world"

To Cap off this post i shall say that im so proud of these awards! and id say to my dad who is way up there I did it! as promised! 3 years ago before he died and i was going to sleep stressful because of matapre he told me his story. Why i always get inspired with his story of how he worked hard from being a normal farmer in the province to at the end an Assistant Vice President for one of the biggest Banks in the Country BDO. I know im not as good as him in numbers but i know in my blood runs the intelligence he has. So papa & mama! Your dream came true. I am graduating with Flying Colors.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE GRADUATES ON SATURDAY!
