NZ Stories: Part 2
3:03 PMThe reason why I came and lived in NZ. I experienced how it was like to study in a top 100 university. It was definitely challenging but I feel I came out of it better, stronger, and wiser! |
2013 and 2014 cohort. Mabuhay, Filipino scholars! |
First year flatmates. |
Celebrated my first quarter life in Auckland. One of my best birthdays ever. And one of the best surprises I've had too, teehee |
The first time Praveen (all of us, really) were pulled over by a cop for speeding. We were on our way home and it happened while we were only just a few meters from my flat. Bummer. |
Year-end costume party at Kelsy's place (who is ironically not in the photo). I came as Katniss Everdeen (without a bow and arrow) because I was very stingy with my money. |
I spent my last few weeks in New Zealand with these two and their epic load of craziness. Missing them so much! |
My first time at windy Welly! |
Of course we're not going to let the chance of seeing real snow pass us by. My thesis supervisor (who's German) was so happy for me. |
Oh yes I did it! |
And this! This actually came first. I'm seriously in love with parachutes right now. |
My grad school classmates. We're, like, the epitome of united nations: New Zealand, USA, Canada, Tonga, Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China. |
We watched the musical play Wicked. |
And Mamma Mia. |
And of course the Sound of Music! |
One of my biggest achievements in NZ (aside from getting my degree) was participating in a photo exhibit - twice! It was my first time to be part of a photo exhibit as a hobbyist. |
