trip to Deutschland!

Last week was SIT for my Project and I was sent off to a nice little town in Altfeld, Germany where the warehouse is located..alone! I stayed in this nice and cozy hotel near the river where old married couples usually go for dinner and bfast consist of bread and cold cuts. yum.

This is were I stayed

And then on the weekend before I leave for Manila, I stayed at Taty and Marcus' place. It was nice!! Taty is such a neat freak :P

Friday night was spent drinking Gluhwein (christmas wine with shots of rhum, served warm -perfect for winter!) at Frankfurt Chrismas market and drinking beer at someone's place. Taty introduced me to her friends, all of which are couples! Taty you disappoint me hahahahaha. Why do I always end up in a group where I'm the nth wheel?! :)

They said Filipinos always do this sign when their pictures are being taken. Di kaya! haha

I didnt know you can drink beer anywhere in Germany. It was unbelievable, just drinking beer while walking, while in the train, anywhere! You can never do that in Manila. haha imagine the chaos.

Saturday, Taty and Marcus prepared a Bavarian bfast which means pretzels, sausage and beer! yes, beer! so early in the morning, could you imagine?! Good thing I slept off the hangover from last night. Acck it was unbelievable.

Bavarian breakfast

We were supposed to go sledding that day but it was too warm. Ha! So Taty and I went shopping. We found cute german kids singing carols! Ang cute. Imagine mo taty ung kids mo kakanta din jan someday! :P

Then we went to the Konighstein (spell check pls!) Xmas market where we drank more Gluhwein and ate waffles. Taty made me walk near the palace ruins..it was UPHILL!!! walk uphill during WINTER!!! acck, too much exercise.

Cheers! Alex, Marcus, Taty and smoke coming from my mug.

This is downhill, coming from the palace ruins.

It was fun fun fun! Though everything was very expensive. :) I hope they'll send me back so I could meet Taty and Marcus again, and maybe this time Taty has more friends...wink wink! hahahaha.

Thanks again Taty and Marcus for a very good and fun weekend! See you again soon!

PS: Loka loka ka. :P

travelling to germany

I'll be going to Germany for a week! But too bad and too sad for me, I'll be travelling alone. And it's almost winter. So can you imagine me being cold and alone. How sad!!!

And to top all of these, the whole project team will be staying at the city at this Ramada hotel, while I'll be stuck in the suburbs of Altfeld where the P&G warehouse is located, staying in a hotel that doesn't even have english translations on their website! And I'll be commuting, probably in a train, all alone, while the rest enjoy the "luxury" of cabs or rented cars. I am such an unlucky person. Why do I have to be in the plant anyway?!

But..I'm looking forward to meeting Taty! and going to the christmas markets in Frankfurt..and having German beer and dancing (i hope :))

So fine. I might get lost and be along for 1 week, but I'm still pretty excited about it! haha.

2 years and counting?!

Had baboy dinner at HEAT Shangri-la last night with Raffy, Ivin, RJ, Kookie and Ricci to celebrate 2 years of slavery (hahahaha) in HP. We didn't eat lunch so we have more space for roast beef! Less ang casualty this time, wala nang halos masuka-suka sa busog. First casualty was Ricci! hehehe. and then Ivin. :P basta ang sarap. Too bad onti lang kmi this time.

Super sulet ang bayad ko sa dessert. Mango-peach-chocolate chips-rice crispies crepe plus ala-coldrock ice cream on top with almonds and walnuts and chocolate syrup drizzle equals "Lord have mercy! dessert" Yummmm.

I want more :)

pretty sad

Tisha is a big fan of this guy Jeroen, so I decided to check out his cartoons. Aww they're so cute. I especially liked this one:


You wish someone would also think of you that way noh? hehe.

Once

Hay pinanood ko ulet ung Once...ang SAD!!!!!! di ba jen? Hay hay hay nakakdepress. Pano nga kung nakita mo na pala ung one true love mo tapos he doesnt feel the same way. Awwwch. Or it just wasnt meant to be talga, pero deep in your hearts kayo na talaga dapat sa isa't isa. Haay and sad tlga!!!! How do you make the iron hot again ba?

2nd week of monsoon league na! It was my first weekend to play. And since my only exercise for the last month was running in Changi airport to catch the plane (oo umabot ako, ako ang last passenger to board the plane. as in Gates closing na..), i had a very bad first game. Sorry iussy!

But this is the best monsoon ever, with all the mud and rain and all the crazy people I'm with, super saya! I just love to play in the rain. :)

A few pictures from my side trip to Singapore from Turkey. I haven't done any sight-seeing. Shopping lang. :) I was out on my own , and was lost most of the time. Kahit paghanap sa apartment at sa train station nawawala ako! But it was nice to be there! I want to be there na! Pia, Gino, Raffy - time for Step 2!





KFC pa din?!

solar beach

The last weekend in Istanbul was spent on shopping and swimming. Weee! We went to Solar beach at Kilios, Turkey. No white sand but it was brown like sugar. And the water was freakin cold! As in Icy cold. Brrrrr. Here are some pictures from the trip. It was nice, and a perfect way to end our trip. Unless we get earlier flights, we will be leaving Turkey for good this Friday. Hoooray! :P
