I'm Off!!!

I'm sooo excited!

After work tonight, I'm going to step foot on my first ever red-eye flight and spend a full week in Sydney. I've been there once before but this time, I'll just be hanging out with friends and seeing the sights. I guess collecting all them days in lieu (which I get when I work public holidays and six-day weeks), chaining them all up is now allowing me to have a mini paid vacation without having to touch all the holidays I'm saving up to use when I go back home to the Philippines in May.

It would be a fantastic opportunity to speak Filipino again with people there to actually understand what I was saying. While I often slip the occassional na and lang in my everyday life just as often as I say no worries and I reckon, having a full day just speaking Tagalog (more so Taglish) I think may be both weird and refreshing after 8 months amongst non Filipino speaking folk here in Perth.

But I reckon (=D) spending time with friends that I knew from back home in a different city could be quite interesting as well. Making memories of places I've never been and having these people in them would be really nice. But mostly catching up and getting ourselves into all sorts of crazy stuff we used to do back home but in a different setting should be hilarious.

Well, that's it for today! I have to get to work. Just wanted to share. I'll try and upload pictures when I can.
