Merry Christmas…?

Yes even if it is November Filipino are crazy about Christmas, an actually it starts in October. You can notice Christmas decoration everywhere, people have a Christmas tree :), people starts shopping like crazy (I don’t want to know what is going on here just before Christmas), in malls you can here Christmas songs. It is hard to feel at least a little bit Christmas spirit because it is around 25 C and no snow :( but maybe when it will be December something will change… I don’t have plans for 24th of December maybe I will eat some dinner with interns or have dinner with some Filipino family. An on 25th with 2 other interns we are flying for one week to Bohol Island. So I can’t wait to have one week break and see all the amazing things that can be find there

Paintball!

Next thing that I did for a first time – paintball! On Saturday with company colleagues we went to paintball. There were 10 of us. Actually I didn’t know what to expect :) I have to admit that it was a good fun! Especially to shut someone from your team :P the person that a lot of people would like to shoot :) haha we played 5 games (2 teams for 5 people) I was shut 1 time and even I had protection still have sign on my hand. All of us enjoy the day, no one was seriously hurt, what is positive of course :) I’m sure we will do it again but we will try with a bigger group. After 2 hours of playing we were exhausted especially because it was very hot (like everyday here :) ) and of course hungry (like all Filipino) so we went to Chinese restaurant and have an amazing food. Ah you can’t image how crazy Filipino are about food, and what is worse I also become like them :) so at least 3 main dishes during the day, hahaha I’m curious if you will recognize me when I be back :P (10 kg more)…

After almost 3 months





Next week it will be 3 months that I’m here. Ah hard to believe in that, time is running so fast! Every day here was so intensive! I saw things that I’ve never seen, I ate food that I’ve never eaten, I did things that I’ve never did! In the scale from 1 to 10 I will say that overall I’m on 8,5 with my satisfaction of this internship. My JD is very interesting I’m doing a lot and have a big responsibility, company is very nice and like a family so I enjoy it very much of course there are days when I’m frustrated so nothing is perfect but I’m trying to take every day here as a learning experience! The country itself is also very interesting and beautiful so I’m looking forward all the next trips that are waiting for me. I was never expecting to see volcano, swam in such beautiful sea, see big spiders and some other animals :) I appreciate every day that I have here! I’m learning here how to be happy of the things that I have by observing people who don’t have anything and sleeping on the street and still are happy. I already have good friends here not only among other interns but also among Filipino. There was a time when a lot of bad things happen in Poland and I had a very hard time but thanks of close people here I manage to overcome it and still feel that I’m close with my family. Now I’m looking forward for by Best friend who is visiting me in January and my sister! So that I can show them everything here. Of course I miss my friends especially now when they are planning to meet for Christmas and I can’t but I know that they are remember about me, I’m trying to share with them as much as I can and if only they can bring them here to really understand how it is to leave in the Philippines :) Once again if you are one of the people who like experiencing sth new, unexpected go for internship!

After the weekend

Ufff again long time when I was writing something here :( but finally I found some time so shortly I can describe my weekend. On Friday after work with Friends we went for a beer to our favorite pub – Booze Stop with life music :) very nice and of course good beer.

On Saturday after hard Friday I woke up around 11 am :) and went to China Town in Manila with Eva and Akie (friend form company) it was very interesting to see this place, you could notice Chinese signs, food and other characteristics of this country. Of course we went to eat some Chinese food and buy some traditional sweets. For sure it wasn’t the same like being in China but still at least something: P we ride a pedicab, which broken on the way haha so funny :) Next trip we want to do is Intramuros (Spanish district) can be also interesting.

On Sunday I went to office for few hours just to use internet, write to you my friends: P and family. And just relax as you do it normally on Sunday :)

Last week I also had a chance to get a massage (For sure I will do it on regular basic) also some visit in Woman salon: P, new haircut haha so I feel so pretty now hihi

For this week I’m planning to start regular swimming and so other health activity :) and on Saturday I’m going on Paintball!
