Day 131 - Red glitter!

I've actually been panicking the past week because I had 2 midterm exams followed by two papers the week after. I know its not obvious based from all my pictures the past week but that's because I'm awesome. I kid. I kid :)

Anyway, finally submitted my 1st paper today! Phew. One more to go due on Saturday. I felt like celebrating but I didn't know how to on a Tuesday night! Soooo... I painted my nails! I miss having my Dashing Diva mani/pedi but I have to make do! :)


Day 130 - Green-minded

Sometimes I can't believe I managed to keep this blog going! Its been officially 130 days since I started posting! That means I've been in Sydney for 4 months already! Wow, time goes by so fast. I still miss everyone but I'm soaking all the culture here and just living life to the fullest! It's nice to know that my friends are reading my blog too :) Makes me want to keep doing it after all :)

And on that note, I saw this chinese restaurant in Chatswood the other day. Hmm. And to no surprise, my Filo crew has eaten here before. Appropriate name. :)

Day 129 - Filipino buffet in the Official House in Sydney

What a treat! Another Saturday lunch with Consul General of Sydney, Tita Anne and this time she let me bring my Sydney Family :) We almost cried when we saw the buffet! I didn't realize how much I missed Filipino food. My friends were well-behaved today. Huh. What a surprise. hahahaha!

Day 128 - Coke

Yes, my nickname is on a Coke bottle :) I love COKE. Pepsi sucks. hahaha! Thanks for getting it for me Anaway my future flatmate!


Day 127 - Sydney Food Festival

Last night (Friday), managed to make it to the Sydney Food Festival in Hyde Park. The lines were craaaaazy and there were people everywhere! Food was yummy and was able to grab a picnic table ala Yogi bear style :)

Day 126 - Christmas shopping

Yes, we are obsessed with taking hat/headband pictures. (Here)
Finally had a free day from work and school so we decided to head to our favorite outlet store for some christmas and summer shopping for my family and friends back home :)

Day 125 - Beach Withdrawals

As the weekend creeps by, I'm reminiscing about my awesome beach weekend last week. I want to go back. I woke up to this in the morning. What could be better?



Day 124 - FT :)



Enough said. I didn't take pictures of my FT with Peter and Luis as well. I regularly talk to my sister too. Everyone should really get an Iphone already. I don't know what I'd do without it!

Day 123 - Green tea

I miss FIC's green tea ice cream! Luckily I found one in a japanese restaurant near my apartment. Yummy!

Day 122 - Poppycock

I am obsessed with this glazed popcorn goodness. I need to finish it already or I will get fat eating this every night before I sleep :(

Day 121 - Hangover Part III

The night was definitely a blur but we still had a full day of exploring to do. We hit Kiama, the famous blowhole and Jarvis Bay to see the whitest beach in the world. What a great weekend.


Day 120 - Sun, Sand and Surf

Finally. Been dying to feel the sand on my toes, the warm sunlight on my skin and the light breeze before hitting the water. Nah, I was dreaming. It was still a bit too cold for comfort but enough to wear a bikini in.We had a beautiful beach house and it was a great day :)



Day 119 - First Friday in the beach

En route to our surf weekend to Gerroa, we stopped by a famous Australian burget joint called Paul's. They were famous for their burger sauce and pineapple crush juice. It was a huge burger! Yummy!

Day 117 - Spontaneous Taiwanese Dinner

Funny how I had plans to Zumba after work and then ended up pigging out with two of four people I cannot say no to. I can't wait for a weekend of surfing, frisbee-ing and eating!




Day 116 - Futsal Love

I officially have two teams :) One mixed and one all girls. We had our first training last week and I really have the best luck in joining teams :) These girls are awesome and we're planning to kick some ass :) Here's a sample of our drills by Coach Alice!

Day 115 - Craving like a mad woman

Oh mi god. I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! And what a surprise to see more varieties! Argh, sadly I resisted the urge to buy because of my upcoming beach trip. Damn it.

Day 113 & 114 - Saturday & Sunday Sight-seeing

I met with my relatives and had a nice relaxing 2 night stay with them. We spent the whole Saturday in the countryside, Kiama and Berry Town :)

What a great weekend! The perfect ending to my week!



Day 109 to Day 112

I'm behind on all my posts :) I enjoyed celebrating my birthday plus all the work, school stuff and chores took up all my time :) Some of the highlights of my birthday night (Tuesday) until Friday.






Day 108 - Day before my birthday

First dinner with my workmates then a bday salubong drinks after futsal with my teammates :) What a great way to start my birthday week :)

Day 106 & 107 - Weekend before my birthday week!

I had a back-to-back 9-5pm class yesterday and today. I couldn't go to Canberra for the Floriade festival with my friends. After class, I went home to do my chores and had a late night dinner with them at our favorite Thai resto near Mo and Mendel's place.


On Sunday, finally got my Kindle cover from Hong Kong :)
