This morning i woke up feeling sad because it sinked in to me that i have to go back to the Philippines and i have to leave this family that i have learned to love as if they were my own :( but as Mamá Eva always said, "la vida es así" (life is like that). But i guess that gives me more reason to come back :)
I took pictures of my room :) my view whenever i wake up in the morning

This is my view when i look up :) my window with the curtains





Then i ate breakfast with Mamá Eva. Last call for galletas :) and some greek yoghurt. After that we brought down all of my heavy things. I really want to thank Mamá Eva for her hospitality and for treating me like i am really her own daughter. I'm reeeeally going to miss her. Downstairs i took a picture of the lobny of the apartment


And my view when i open the gate

Mamá Eva drove me to the airport.


And it's hasta luego to her. I will miss you Mamá Eva!!
In the airport...

Thank God i'll be flying business class because it's a 7 hour flight to Doha, Qatar and then a 7 hour lay over and then another 6 or 7 hours to Manila. Wooooo!!
In the business class lounge i took Fanta limon because i know that when i arrive in the Philippines, or in Doha, no more Fanta.

In the airplane



Almost all of their commencement food is seafood :p rarrr

I ordered Spanish Tapas instead but it really sucked. I suddenly missed mamá Eva's cooking. The green thing on top is guacamole and it really sucked.

Then i had chicken with some kind of sauce which made up for the horrible appetizer. It was really good

And then helado (ice creeeeam!)

I watched Beastly first...

And then red riding hood

And they were really really great movies :)
Then before landing they serve food again i don't know what this is though

We can't really see in this picture but the sky had a soft orange color and it was very nice and soothing to the eyes. Too bad i wasn't on a window seat

And then finally i arrived at Doha and i guess it's not so bad o wait for 7 hours here. I love their lounge!!




It has a buffet too!


I deliberately sat down near the buffet table :)

Oh and the bathroom... Ahhhhh!!!


Here's the beat part :) they have beds!!!!

And now i'll just sleep until i'm called for boarding :)
¡Buenas Noches Qatar!

Hola!
Googling about studying in Spain brought me here. Thank you so much for blogging your experiences in Madrid. They're all so informative.
I have some questions about your Spanish student visa. I hope you don't mind answering them. How long did the Consulado process your student visa? I submitted my application 4 weeks ago, and they still haven't contacted me. I am getting a bit anxious because my course starts on June 25. How did they contact you? By phone or by mail? I tried calling the consulado several times but to no avail.
Thank you so much. =)))

Hi! So sorry for the late reply. I got my visa after about 3-4 weeks. I think they are very meticulous about the student's itinerary
