    Far Away From Home

    September 30, 2008 // 5 Comments »

    I asked for it and I got it… this has been my first time to be away from my family and my hometown for a long time… and I was so excited and at the same time nervous… thinking ‘hey, I’ll be on my own now…’ I am now responsible for every action that I’ll take hence, I’m really really grateful for this opportunity.

    I’ve been waiting for this for so long coz I want to be independent, to grow as an individual and try to learn more about myself and life… but I won’t be able to do it if I won’t go away… away from them (my family)… far from them who sustains all my needs… I just hoped that this experience would help me to be matured enough to make my own decisions and be a responsible individual….

    FIRST WEEK…

    I was somewhat surprised as I arrived at this City… seeing a bunch of noisy tricycles on the main road (like they were on a race track or something like that…) later on I figured out that this is their way of transportation here… No traffic lights and no route to be followed…

     

    I’ve been to this City for a few times but never stayed for more than one day… I love to travel and I’ve been into different places already eversince I was a kid… Sometimes we just passed at this City and never thought of staying or living here but now here I am trying to fit in… trying to make each day a memorable one…

    I thought that the brown-out that happened in our office one night was just an accident, but when it happened almost everyday (men! What a city!) I dunno but it’s really irritating when you were so busy working and all of a sudden ———– brown-out! ggrrr… do you agree with me? Anyways, the city’s clean though and my officemates were nice… but my problem is…. *secret* hahahaha….

    SECOND WEEK…

    Pinoy Ako!

    September 28, 2008 // 3 Comments »

    In Hong Kong people sometimes mistook me as Chinese but when they started to strike a conversation with me, there they would know that I am not. Hahaha… But here in Macau, a lot of people mistook me as an Indonesian… Wahhh!!! At first it was just okay but now it’s somewhat annoying already, even other Filipinos think that I am an Indonesian… *sigh* Do I really look like one??? Waahhh… I don’t want to believe nor accept that…

    First encounter with a Pinoy guy in a shop.

    He was looking at me and said:

    Guy: Indonesian?

    Me: No, Filipina.

    Guy: Oh, I thought you’re an Indonesian.


     Second encounter with a guy in a bus stop. I was waiting for the bus to arrived and There’s this guy who keeps on looking at me…

    Guy: Nepali? Nepali? (in a very fast tone).
     Me: (Puzzled) What??
     Guy: Nepali?
     Me: No.
    G:Oh,     Malaysian?
    M: No.
    G:     Indonesian?
    M: No.
    G: (thinking…) Ahh..     Thailand?
    M: No.Then he stopped guessing… so i said     “Philippines, Filipino.”
    G: Oh i see and smiled…

    Third encounter…
