story behind the pics (MySore Trip)

After 3 months of endless work and restless night, they finally had scheduled and booked us for a visit to MySore. I planned to wake up by five in the morning, but I got a call from my lead and from my counterpart in the US almost two in the morning. He told me to drop by to the office to fix up something. What else can I do? Duty calls. So I went back home around 4:30am, instead of sleeping again, I decided to just cook our breakfast, and take a bath afterwards. The taxi arrived on time and we started to travel by 7am.

It was a long 3 ½ hours journey, and on my mind, I really don’t know what to expect. As we reached to the place, the tiring journey paid off. We tried to make our time very worthwhile by taking a lot of pictures and touring around the place.

We went to the following places:
1. Shreeranga Pattanam
2. Tippu's Summer palace
3. Tippu's Mosque
4. Chamundi Temple
5. Mysore Palace
6. Krishna Raja Sagar Dam

For me, here’s my advice if you’re planning to tour around India:
1. Be prepared to walk in barefoot. (Yes, we walked inside the temple and the palace barefooted. It was tough because I’m not used to walk without any slippers back in Manila.)
2. Be prepared for the spicy food yet delicious meals. (My favorite meal is the Masala Dosa.)
3. Try to have an interpreter. It’s hard to travel around the place without anyone who knows how to speak in Hindi.
4. Have some small change (like coins in your pocket. You may need that for the payment of your slippers/shoes storage)
5. Don’t hold the things that they are offering like pictures, foods. (Sometimes, they will consider it that it’s sold. And you will be force to pay it. Unless if you’re good with giving arguments.)
6. Their holy water is for drinking. So be prepared for it. [for me, it tasted like ginger]

What happened to me afterwards? Hmm… Too tired to do some write up, so I just posted the link of the photos. [Now you know why…]

This will be one of my most memorable place that I had been to and I will treasure it for the rest of my life.

I'll be home for Christmas

That's the exact song that fits in what I'm feeling right now, and which also fits on my situation. I'll be going back to Manila the day before my birthday, and my birthday will be the start of the countdown of 10 days before Christmas.

All my birthdays had been just pretty normal, but for this year, I know it will be different... I don't know how, but i can feel it.

Hugs and kisses to everyone --

Ano kaya...

Ano kaya ang susunod na mangyayari sa pagbabalik ko sa aking lupang tinubuan? Ano kaya ang aking unang gagawin kapag nakarating na ako sa bahay namin? Ano kaya ang unang pagkain na ihahain nila para sa akin? Ano kaya ang naghihintay sa aking pagbabalik? Kay daming tanong sa aking isipan, ngunit malalaman ko lang ang sagot sa pagsapit ng ika-15 ng Desyembre!

A Poem To My Friends

Tibok ng puso ko’y dinggin mo sinta,
Sana’y marinig ang katagang mahal kita,
Dalawang mundo nagsanib bilang isa,
Kung panaginip ito’y sana hindi na magising pa.

Bughaw na langit ang nakaguhit sa may bintana,
Sa apat na sulok ng silid tanging ikaw ang alaala,
Ibigin mo ako ang tanging hiling kay bathala,
Matupad man o hindi, handa akong magparaya.

Kay tagal inasam ang iyong yakap at halik,
Ang pag-ibig na naglaho ay muling nanumbalik,
Kung ako ang musika, ikaw naman ang mga titik,
Sabay tayong lumikha ng magagandang himig.

Umaasang makamit ang matamis mong oo,
Dahil damdamin ko sa yo ay wagas at totoo,
Sa mga panahon na lumipas ito ang napagtanto,
Hahamakin ang lahat para masungkit ang pag-ibig mo.

Fulfillment and doubts...

I had laid some goal for my life and now I’m slowly fulfilling it. I never thought that my plans will come true. I guess if you really have determination to reach for you dreams, nothing will be impossible as long as you believe with yourself. Never knowing what my life awaits me but I know that I’ll be ready for it. Life here in Bangalore had taught me a lot of lessons and had given me a lot of realizations about myself. I’m hoping that all the experiences here will not go to nothing, and will still be applicable when got back to Manila.

One and a half month to go before going back to my homeland. I’m starting to think what will be the feeling when that day comes? Will I be crying because am leaving to a place where I began to start loving it? Or will I be smiling because am going back to a place where I really used to belong? But what the heck, there’s still a long way to go, I’ll just enjoy each day here, as what they say, make each day the best you can and treat it as if it is your last day.

Is there anyone be waiting for me when I get back to Manila?
