Countdowns
Four months and one day. That's how long I was already in Australia.
I remembered the time when I arrived here, how I felt so homesick with Singapore and I just want to book a return flight and go back right-away. The first weeks were a struggle. From enduring the coldness of winter to house-hunting to stopping myself from converting grocery goods and to not getting lost with the transport system. At this time, I would say I pretty much memorized how CBD looks like. But I honestly admit that I get lost still at times.
Three months and thirteen days. I survived the first few months in the company. Woot! woot! So far, so good. Though a bit boring. Maybe because it is closing to the Christmas holidays. And a lot of us are just doing self-paced training on bench. :/
The good thing though is still earning while not doing much of a hard work.
Three months and three days. Time flies fast when you're happy and *ahem* in love? Hahaha. This story I think, deserves a separate post. But to make it short, yes, I am with someone and he's making me happy and special. Life is sweet. :)
Two weeks. Before the Christmas shutdown. This is something new for me because I am used to still going to the office on the 24th of December and it's up to the senior management whether they would advise for a half-day or not on the eve of Christmas. This shutdown thing is common here in AU and NZ, wherein it's mandatory to take leaves on the week before Christmas up to the first Sunday after the New Year. Sad to say that I won't be coming home in Manila for the holidays as fares are too costly now (probably next year *cross fingers*). So what am I up to? Maybe just go on a drive and spend the holidays with the bf's fambam. :)
Twenty four days. 'Til the New Year. Yet another year for a clean slate and a new beginning. And another year of growing up, learnings, lessons, experiences, struggles, ups, downs and things to be grateful for.
Why am I counting? Nothing really in particular. I just missed numbers and Math. :P *dweeb moments*
