Looking Back... The College Years!

3 days before the upcoming commencement exercises. Sad & Excited.

Time flies so fast and before finally exiting to my life as a student, i would like to reminisce those years.

If i get old at least i got something to read about my life, maybe at that point of time, i already forgot some parts of my life. Yet, this entry will remind me about everything.

Me as a student, I'm not an OVER ACHIEVER nor UNDER ACHIEVER, I'm not a PARTY ANIMAL, I'm not a PIMP MASTA and I'm not LAZY EVERYDAY.

I always try to balance everything. Though I'm not a book lover, and I always hate writing and reading notes, I always want an academic recognition. Though I'm not always there to hang out with my friends, I always try to find sometime for them. I chose to be ALL and not just be ONE. Coz i would like to experience everything!

This one is very very long!!! HAHAHA.

5 years... Its not a hard nut to crack but not my 4 days!

After 4 days of wasting my time in school to do my clearance finally I GOT IT!

I really dont want to do my clearance, i just want to get my Toga!

HELL! That 4 days is much more difficult that my 5 years in College.

I was in the cashier's section when I was about to pay my bills. I'm queuing with a number of 870. At 869, all the computers got hanged! That was so disgusting and I need to wait for 20 minutes before I paid my bills. >/

But anyway, all things are positive now, 4 days from now before the commencement exercises and im still not prepared... HAHAHA.

4 days from now, im not a student anymore!

yeah, SAD!

Home and Changes

So finished with my Singapore Life! Back to my HOME!

I miss everything especially foods!!! HAHAHA.

The best will be my mom's cooked foods. NOTHIN BEATS IT! HAHAHA.

Honestly, we're still inside the airport but we can see that we are really in the Philippines.

HAH! The Long Queue of Line! THATS THE SIGN! HAHAHA.

Unfortunately, we arrived at the worst terminal in NAIA, The Terminal 1, the infrastructure is too old and its equipments are all technologically behind!

It needs renovation! As in Full Renovation!

But we got no choice, we are all from South & Manila and its hard for us to take the Clark Airport in Pampanga coz its too far. Well, NAIA Terminal 3 is way way more more better!

Enough of my ranting! HAHAHA.

So happy to saw my papa, mama and kuya.. (dad, mom, and big brother) to pick me up in the airport.

Upon reaching the car, I saw my niece and my brother's wife with my dad's good friend and my granpa! HAHAHA. BIG!!!

1 1/2 Hours travel time from the airport to Cavite with traffic of course. We go to a JOLIBEE Drive thru! OMG, i miss jolibee! HAHAHA.

My Shanghai Rolls! HAHAHA. Aside from Spaghetti, this is one of my favorites in Jolibee.
Of course, unlike in other countries, meals came with rice. =)

The Final Lunch and The Final Visit!

As much as I want to compress the previous entry and these one, I can't really do it.

Its long for the eyes to read. HAHAHA.

This is the final entry about my 1 year stay in Singapore.

No certain plans yet until my graduation to come back for work or just come back there for holidays.

Getting back there for work would be as tough as like the first time we did it.

The Last 24 Hours!

 

Lunch in Kenny Rogers @ Marina Square.

The Last Supper

The last two days were jam packed!

I mean, of course we got a lot of things to do like packing up our things and doing some last minute paperworks before leaving. Addition to that we got friends who wants to celebrate a day or a night with us before we leave. There was a time that I thought, two remaining days are not enough to be with all of them.

But for the 13 of us, we are trying to fulfill their request and aside from that  we have individual errands.

I am not complaining yet, i feel so blessed that these people never fail to think to spend their time with us.

We got nice schedule for each invitations, no lapses, when suddenly... we need to decide for the supper!

Oh yeah, its soooo hard to say "NO" to these two great people who I can say took a large part of making our stay in Singapore MAGNIFICENT!

Last Day @ Fullerton Hotel

This is the saddest, happiest and exciting day on my whole stay in Fullerton.

MY LAST DAY!

Reality Check: During down times, I will say... "I'M TIRED, I WANT TO LEAVE". During good times, I will say... "THIS IS FUN! IM SO LUCKY!"... Sooo truuee! HAHAHA.

Is it normal that you will feel heavy and mixed emotions in any of your last days??? HAHAHA.

Think so.

Friday, not a good last day for us. BUSY! Like they dont feel like we're leaving. But in spite of that, we still made them felt it! HAHAHA.

Wrote this on board before i start working for that day. The whiteboard is always busy, and they never erased my little message for them. =)

A Date with the OTHER ME!

Onto the next story, I got one night to spend with my ex colleague who got the same name as mine.

That's why we call each other "the other me" makes sense? HAHAHA.

she use to call me GILLO and I use to call her SILING. Its my last name, well at least she can pronounced it right and that was her chinese name.

We're not comfortable calling each other to our given name because its like i am calling myself and vice versa. HAHAHA. Like, CRAZY!

Two Stops! Boon Keng and Marina Square. Dinner and Supper. =)

Supper is a Practice

Normally, I never took much pictures during Supper.

Well, what we normally do is just eat, movie and eat again, if we still got time we go for drinks.

And normally its for free.

This might be the first time i blogged about our "supper thing".

Its a part of Singapore lifestyle as what I know.

In PH, this one never practice. But there is a similar term to this one which is almost the same,  MIDNIGHT SNACK! HAHAHA.

First time to bring my camera for the night. Ahmm, actually its dinner, movie, supper. Coz we finished early at work. =) And i still got the chance to go back home first and brought my camera.

The Suppermates! =)

The trainee life is almost OVER!

Blogging this, 2:25 am, after 3 1/2 hours i'll be taking the last 8 hours of work of being a trainee at The Fullerton Hotel.

FINALLLY... Ask me what I feel..

40% Happiness and 60% Sadness! Like i cannot solely feel that I'm happy.

Leaving everything that you love is the same pain as you are the person who will be left.

I got so much thing to blog for the last week of stay here at Singapore.

Hopefully, I could post it before we leave as well as the message i will read later before i finally end my shift. =)

I hope for the best for my last day.

A Remarkable Sunday: The Lantern

Time for Fullerton Bay Hotel's The Lantern....

The Lantern is the main bar of the FBH situated at the rooftop overseeing the whole Marina Bay. (really nice view)

Ok, we are having doubts of whether to enter here or not... Thanks to Sarah, we decided to go Lantern first before Sentosa. Roaming around FBH is not really common for us as we are still working under the hotel's company. Fullerton Hotel is fine but for some reason, FBH is really strict with this.

And because of that, this will be my first time to step to Lantern as well as to make a brief visit in Clifford. Lucky, we got the DM's consent to go up! =)

CHEERS!!!
