Firsts of Things

Just woke up from a pretty long nappy. 10 hours were quite relaxing enough for my dizzy head. 

Can you guess what was my first meal here?

PIZZAAAAAAAAAA

It tasted like heaven. Not that it had the best taste in the world, i was just hungry. No, starving even. After a lovely journey with 2 suitcases and one back pack, how can i not. I ate the pizza in the midst of the uni's arrival day. I still had to carry my babies again back home later, that was why i needed to eat otherwise i believed i'd faint. Not literally carrying it though, just simply pushing all of them with me cause the International Mentor will be taking each of us home by car. 

Anyway, I had a funny story about it. After finishing all the things listed in the arrival day like checking in, buying a new SIM card, getting the free transportation card etc, all the new students had to stand in line before going home. To cut it short, finally we were on our way home. From 5 people, 3 already got off. Not so far from AF building (the building where we did all the arrival day things). Left were just me and one girl. The mentors kept driving the car yet it seemed like we were heading to a highway. 

Me: are we lost? It must not be this far right? (didn't really say it, just a voice in my head)

The mentor kept going and going until we arrived in a.... building. Well, it didn't really look like a student housing compared to the previous ones where the other students got off? It was still under construction or something. But, this is my new house. Didn't have the pictures yet, will talk about it later. 

Update: i like my new house. Once i entered, it was obvious everything is new. And white. Very.. clean. I like.

Here are some random pictures i got in my phone. Bye for now. Night.

(Not) My Kind of Day

Here i am, enjoying the super-fine Chocolate Chip Cream in everyone's theoretically favourite coffee shop in the world!

Obviously, I'm here for some reasons.
  • It's my second day back home after a short vacation to grandma's place. I simply don't want to just spend the remaining days by staying at home. It was a torture to just spend your free time doing nothing (if only laying around in bed watching tv shows count to 'doing nothing'). Anyways, it's the second month since i left my job, and i have this thought of "why don't I just go out and not become a couch potato." Thanks to this sudden homework! The one i'm finishing right now, despite writing this paragraph.
  • Coffee shop has the ambience that helps me to concentrate better. The sound of cash register, the good music playing from some corners, the busy-baristas activities, the different kind of coffee ordered by the customers (which mostly i haven't heard about before since they are not on the menus, i don't know where they know them, or maybe they are just personal favourites). I sometimes took a few minutes stop from doing whatever i'm doing, and just stare at what's happening around. It's just interesting to watch.
