_________________________________________________________________

☑ SCHOOL ☑ PRACTICUM   ☑ STRESS  ☐ GRADUATION (waiting)

I escaped Manila from Feb 20-24!

 

 

This was a very memorable trip for me and yes it’s my first time to go outside the country! qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm!  Not enough keyboard characters to describe my happiness ◕‿◕

 

 

image

Excitement soared the highest when the Immigration marked the first stamp on my clean, near to expiration passport. ^.^

I also took my very first plane flight out of the country so I’ve got the biggest smile on my face and I just can’t hide my excitement especially when Cebu Pacific plane moves up in the air. This is really is it!! 

 

 

image

My Hongkong-Macau Travel buddies!! My sisters and brothers from another mothers. hehe! They are my family not by blood but rather by Love ^‿^

 

 

image

HELLO HONGKONG! We have finally landed! 

 

 

image

We rode the airport express to MTR station then took the MTR on the way to our hotel in Yau Ma Tei. 

 

 

image

So after leaving our things in our hotel (CASA HOTEL) we’re now off to go to our first stop! DISNEYLAND DISNEYLAND DISNEYLAND ♥‿♥

We took the MTR again from our hotel then hop to Disneyland express train.

We spotted a huge floral Mickey face.

Lovely photo. One of the best photos we have during our trip :)

 

 

 

The theme park is divided into categories: Main Street USA, Adventureland, Fantasyland, Tommorowland, Toy Story land, Grizzly Gulch. We checked out most of the attractions in each category.

 

So here are some of the places and activities that we did inside the theme park… 

 

 

 

TOY STORY LAND

image

image

My B for BETTER pose! harhar!

 

 

image

The notable rides here are: RC Racer and Toy Soldier Parachute Drop.

-The RC Racer is a little scary :P It’s like Anchors Awaaaay riding on a U-shape Coaster :))

image

Next, The Parachute Drop. Well, the queue was surprisingly long. We got bored waiting for our turn and we kept on saying this is just a simple ride because basically it goes up then drops all of a sudden. But then, we were all wrong! Kaboooom soldiers! It was an Exhilarating ride!!

This is the OH-EM-GEE look of me and ate Kaye while kuya Bryan was sleeping.. Lol!

 

 

GRIZZLY GULCH

It’s a Wild West Fun!

The Runaway Mine Cars is the only ride (I think) in Grizzly Gulch Land.

 

image

It is like a roller coaster with backwards section.The ride was epic!!

Buzz Lightyear needs our help to save the universe! So we got to shoot some enemy in this ride using the fire hand-held laser cannons and accumulate points. We helped him save the galaxy from the Evil Emperor Zurg! Lol

Another engaging attraction here in Fantasyland - ”It’s a small world”

Ending my 2012 ~ Moving Forward

I have to admit that 2012 has been a tough and more of a challenging year for me. A lot has happened. There were ups there were downs. It was a roller coaster ride, in short.

highlights of 2012

Let’s start for the bad ones.

One of the best grandfather in the world passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer. ;(

                       image

He was a hard-working, dedicated and loving man. He was the type of person who got along with anyone. My grandpa means a lot to me, for he has been there for me from the day I was born.  Although he is gone, he is still in my heart and his memory will always be a big part of me. Thank you for everything lolo and I love you so much ;’(

************************************************************************

Had the most stressful semester in my entire college life. First semester of my last year in college brought me a mountain of stress. Crazy work load, homework,  course requirements, thesis, feasibility studies, the three reservation system (GDS), and many moooore. 

      image

**********************************************************************

     My one and only sister got her UK visa and she is now in UK with my mom. Of course  the sad part of it is I miss her so much. We had been fighting a lot more often when she was here. Realizing that I somewhat took her for granted especially when mood swings and “topak” hits me. I’m so lucky to have her as my sister. I love her. I always have and always will. Hoping to see her soon.

           image

*********************************************************************

   Ended a Relationship.

Although it was hard, and I can’t understand so many things over the last couple of months, I’ve come to accept that ending it was best for us both of us.

         image

He came into my life unexpectedly. Even though he is one of the most stubborn person I know, he showered me of the attention and love no other male in my life ever granted me.  He will go out of his way to make me feel special and beautiful. He can be the sweetest person ever.  

          image

          image

Sometimes he’s my best friend and sometimes we hate each other. We’ve been through so many things together. The 2 years and a half with each other , I learned a lot about life, myself, love, and what I deserve.  Maybe if I haven’t met him, I will never meet these people. 

           image

His family embraced me wholeheartedly and they are nothing but nice to me. They’re wonderful people and so sweet. They make sure I feel included in their family and that makes me so happy and blessed for them. ;’) 

          image

   I regret nothing that happened between us because he brought happiness to my life and what we had was something worth it. I now live everyday happy and grateful for everything I have.

PS: I hope you are above and beyond happy. Thank you for some of the greatest memories of my life. Never forget that there was a girl who loved you with all her heart. She loved you dearly and unselfishly.

And now the good things!


Summer Job. My first Job ever.

         image

Worked in one of the leading exhibition and event services company in Asia and Middle East. Their expertise includes Exhibition Services, Interior, Galleries and Museums, Thematics/ Theme Parks, Events. This experience helped me boosts my self esteem in dealing with others. I learned a lot and gained much more than just money.

***********************************************************************

Got an average grade of 92.13 for the last academic sem of my college life.

         image

Made me to be in Chairpesons’ list again.  Hard work paid off ;)

*********************************************************************

Practicum at Philippine Airlines – Learning Center.

          image

The most unforgettable and wonderful experience for this year :) 

***********************************************************************

End of the World Salubong with my lovely girls 12.20.12 

         image

This year is a good one for me in terms of the friends I have. They’re here at my best and have been there at my worst.  These are the people I have surrounded myself with, and these are the people who will stay. 

*************************************************************************

So there.. my 2012, a year that will be truly remembered. It’s been a challenging year, but rewarding in different ways. It was not the best year, but not the worst too. We have our bad days for us to experience how good it feels to have a good day. I am now happy with everything today, I learned so much things about life. Experiences which made me STRONGER ENOUGH to face 2013


Thank you GOD for everything.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
