I am waiting for my flight here at Amsterdam Schipol airport. Just a few more hours and I will be in-transit back home. Hayyyy....
Few things that I realized/learned the last two months I was in Helsinki.
I have learned...
...that the frontliner dies in the battle. So my bosses should be happy because they're earning so much money doing nothing. While I, on the otherhand, do all the dirty work for them. This is so unfair!
...that life's too short so enjoy all opportunities to take a vacation, to travel and see the world.
...that forgiveness is the first stage of letting go.
...that there are tons of beautiful and gorgeous men around the world. I love Italian men. Hahaha.
...that the reason why pinays working abroad marry foreigners is because of familiarity with the race and nationality. Believe me... after 6months in Helsinki, Finnish men started to become goodlooking in my standards with men. Hahaha.
...that when you are not alone abroad (you're with friends), spending a long time away from home becomes more bearable.
...that i've never had this much good time being deployed in Helsinki as much as this last deployment wherein we were 5 consultants here. It seemed much like a vacation for the 5 of us. Hahaha.
...that europe is almost perfect place for me to migrate to except that I will have to bring my family and loved ones over to make it perfect!
Need to catch my plane now. Have to go! See you in manila.

I love Paris. It was so hard to get decent photos there because there were so much tourists. I guess all year round, there's always a big flock of tourists who goes there. I'm definitely coming back! Hehe.

Im back from my week-long adventure to Rome and Paris. I will be posting some of our pictures. It was all worth the calluses on my feet from too much walking, tan lines due to excessive exposure to the sun and definitely an almost empty bank account! Haha.
The Colosseum
The Roman Forum
Piazza Venezia
The Pantheon
Piazza Navona
Inside the Vatican
Trevi Fountain
Rome at Night
Rome is a very beautiful place. Breathtaking splendor! Im too speechless to even describe how wonderful it is to be there. Definitely worth visiting again!
