Back from HK!

Hey guys!

I’m back from Hong Kong and I’ve been meaning to write about it for awhile. Unfortunately, I’ve been really busy these past few days. After getting back to my home in Los Banos I left just two days later for my cousin’s place in Antipolo. I’m here right now and have been working in his clinic (he’s a vet) and tomorrow I’ll be heading to Quezon province to visit my cousin-in-law’s parents. After that I’ll be heading to a friend’s place in the Fort (aka Fort Bonifacio or The Global City) and spending about a week there. Then back off to Los Banos for my second semester.

I was initially planning to fly out again to another Asian country but after talking with a few people I thought I should focus more on exploring more of the Philippines before I take my next big trip. Next year I’ll be able to travel somewhere else I’m sure… just gotta decide where. So I’ll be exploring more of Manila and a nearby province to see more of what I haven’t seen already.

I promise that I will write a super long and detailed post of my travels in Hong Kong, and everything else that I’ll be doing this upcoming week but right now I’m actually super tired and thought I should just write about my upcoming plans. It seems like it’ll be a fun time… and I’ll finally have some time to relax and meet new people! I’m totally looking forward to it.

So guys, where are some places you would suggest I travel to next? I can only really travel to places in Asia and possibly Australia, so let me know what you think! I’d love to see your opinions.

And with that I leave you a picture of me at Hong Kong Disneyland. :D

The Impending Hell Week

Ah, so it has come. The last two weeks of class. I am not anticipating this one bit.

So it’s the last two weeks of class. This week I’ve had a slew of exams and I have my final Pathology exam tomorrow for lecture. There’s a lot of material, but I’ll get through it and finish it today.

Today’s the only day that I can say that I have a break in all of this craziness. The upcoming week will be much like this one in that I’ll probably be taking a final exam once at least every day. There will also possibly be an exam the following Monday.

What’s getting me through all of the studying?

I’m going to Hong Kong baby! And the best part is, that I’ll be meeting up with my girlfriend there for about 4 days of rest and relaxation!

I’m really excited about this trip, because it’s really just the thing that I need to unwind. And seeing my girlfriend, who I haven’t seen in a couple of months is just the icing on the cake. I haven’t gotten to see Hong Kong except inside the airport where I always travel through to get to and from the Philippines from New York, but in just two more weeks, I’ll be riding an airplane to see a new Asian city and I’ll be doing it with someone I love.

For all those who are also in the midst of exams, don’t give up! We’re almost through it… just have some faith!

Hwaiting! (How Koreans say, “Fighting!” in their accent… haha)

So I’m Done With Finals!

So that pretty much sums up my year so far. I’m done with finals week. I’m going to go around these next two weeks before summer school starts and just chill out for awhile.

My plans? Right now I’ll stay in Los Banos for bit. This weekend I’ll be hitting up my cousin’s place for a few days, and then I might come back to do registration. However, I just found out that for one of my summer classes I won’t be able to register for it until the day the class starts because all of the spots are full and I will have to talk to the teacher personally. Then later next week I’ll be headed to Singapore.

SINGAPORE?

Singapore City Line

Yes, that’s right. Singapore.

Why? Because I need a vacation. I need to get away from this place and travel. For the most part, I just want to get out of this place for awhile and just relax, explore a new country and see what it has to offer. Ever since I’ve come to the Philippines I’ve had a ton of fun, but I also wanted to visit the nearby Asian countries. The Philippines is great, but I really thought I’d have a lot of time to travel on my own, but alas, I do not. So since this will be my first summer here in the Philippines, and I have some time off, I’ll be going to Singapore to chill out and relax a bit.

It’s kind of a spontaneous thing, but hey, I’ve cleared it with my parents and they said it’s cool, so why not? I’ll be flying there at some point next week.

So if any of you guys have been there and have any suggestions, please leave a comment and let me know. I’d love to hear where you’ve went, what you’ve seen and what you can recommend to me. I will be there for a couple of days, so it shall be fun, I’m sure. :)

Haha… so that’s that. I won’t be bringing much with me on my trip… maybe just a duffel bag and/or backpack. I’ll be staying at a hostel in Singapore which is really inexpensive, and the rest of the time I’ll be chilling out and seeing the sights! So leave some love and suggestions. I’d love to hear them.

Peace out ya’ll!
