Manila Vanila (2)

Manila start with 14 hours long trip.
It shouldn't be 14 hours actually, but I need to transit in HongKong first.
So, 14 hours is for 4 hours from Jakarta to HongKong, waiting 3,5 hours for next flight because it got delayed for 2 hours luckily HK have a nice airport so I don't get bored, then 2,5 hours to Manila from HongKong, and the rest is for waiting for boarding time and me coming to early to the airport because I was getting anxious that I will missed my flight. So typical, every single time hahaha
Then finally here I am in Manila.

Before I got to my apartment, I stop by the park near by to see a music light.

Actually, this music light festival is happen every day, light festival light in HongKong, it's just smaller here. But it is as nice as HongKong.

If you ask about how is Manila, the answer is, it's like Jakarta hahahaha

not much different.  Traffic is just the same like Jakarta, public transportation also potato tomato, supermarket, mini market, not much different.

Maybe it's because I stay in the middle of the city and in business district.

It's like Sudirman and SCBD in Jakarta.

Luckily, I don't get a lot of traffic because my apartment is only 2 blocks from my office tower.

So I always walk there for only 5 minutes. How lucky I am.

This is the first time I live alone, far far away from my home.
I travel alone a couple times, but this is kinda different.
It also feels nice at the same time.
Somehow I am proud of myself that I can be here, at this point, because I work for it.
But, i'm not easy to pleased, not even with myself hahaha
So I always told myself that this is only the beginning. There's a lot of things to explore, more interesting things ahead.
Next, maybe Singapore, that would be really nice I think hahaha
Or stop working and get my master degree, get a psychology license, or maybe another major for my master, I haven't decide what is next. I'm happy with what I do right now.
But for sure, this is me getting closer to my dream, and I'm proud of myself.

I have a super supportive team here, like a family.

hmm I think that's about Manila in a blink for now.
The next story maybe not Manila Vanila, but will also be as sweet as Vanila.
