Mimidora The Explorer

I fell asleep for 2 hours and i decided to utilize the beautiful shower room of Qatar Airways.

Then after about 30 minutes, they called the passengers of my flight foe boarding. We all had to board a shuttle bus to be brought to our plane






Upon arriving inside the plane and after settling down, our orders were taken for our after take off meal. I was goven sushi for appetizer and i chose the spicy noodles with chicken breast with the amazing sauce :)
Unforunately i was out if my mind, i ate the sushi while waitin for my camera to load :) now all you can see is the bowl, the garnishing and some wasabi






Since i was a little girl (i did not grow much though), i've always loved apple juice in the plane and upto now ask for apple juice during plane rides. I don't normally drink apply juice in normal days.






Here's the noodle thing





And for dessert we have fresh fruits with unsweetened greek yoghurt. I don't like unsweetened though :p






With my headphones on for a portion of a movie before sleeping.





I did not finish it because i had to go i sleep. It's a 9 hour flight!!

And then i woke up just in time for breakfast. Unfortunately i was trying to conserve battery so i was not able to turn on the cam to take pictures of breakfast but it was a filipino breakfast that did not at all taste like one.

I was so happy when i felt the plane finally touch the ground.

When i got out of the plane i felt the humid heat of my country. HUMID! hahaha! But hey quess what? There's a storm :) what a way to welcome me






Baggage conveyor belt






Customs :)





And i was so surprised because from a far, i saw who my surprise fetcher was :)





I was really really very happy! :) he and my dad waited for me at the waiting area, and then my mum and sister were in the car :)
After that we all went to Resorts World Manila to eat at stackers :)

Mi hermanita :) she was so envious of my skin and hair color. My hair color became brown and my skin a bit darker because i was always under the sun in Madrid :)





I ate soooo much :) and to think i just ate breakfast in the plane. This is weird becauae i arrived in Manila at 16:40 and we just had breakfast. Hahahaha





After this my phone went dead and so i could not take pictures in the Chinese restaurant we went to after. Yes we ate again. Hahaha!

I was not even able to take pictures of the unpacking of my clothes but oh well.

Well, that's it, this is the last day of my adventure this year. I really did not expect my blog to reach 6,000 hits. I want to thank the people who visited my blog. You actually inspired me to move around Madrid and to learn more so that i can share my experience with all of you :) it was a good 81 days of Spain, my home away from home. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as i did even if it's only through my blog.

I also want to thank my teachers and friends in Spain who actually encouraged me to post in my blog, sometimes even reminding me to take a picture and sometimes they take the picture for me :)

Thank you all! Til my next adventure, this is Mimi a.k.a, Mimidora, Camille, Camila, Chiquitita, (and all the other names that were given to me), saying ¡HASTA LUEGO!!!!! Besos y abrazos! :)

When i have settled, i might post some of the pictures i took using my big camera as supplementary posts.

-- now it's time to say ¡Buenas Noches Madrid, España, Qatar and Filipinas! :)

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!

Today i have to bring all of my stuff to the LBC office in Calle Doctor Cirajas. Sardines, a few clothes and booooooks. Like 20 of them haha. I was contemplating on putting the computer keyboard with the "send home" stuff but my dad told me to bing it with me because it might get crushed

I will try to make 2 3/4 months of life inside this

I also finished rolling almost all of my clothes


I had to get a taxi to transport my stuf because i will break my back if i use the metro.

I packed my stuff there and voila! I have to wait around 50 days. But no problem. I'm not very impatient.

I rushed back to the metro because i need to meet up with Julieta for our "despedida to each other lunch".

We ate at the usual, the Cafe Moderno also so i can say goodbye to Rodrigo the camarero and Virgel the Filipino cook.

Here's Julieta with our basket of potato chips


After lunch she had to rush home because her flight is at 18:00 back to France


Since i still had time, i took a few pictures of the road to school





I'm going to miss this place

Here's the door of my school.









The reception



The clock :)



I know i'm a dork :) haha! Here's my last class picture, but i'm missing Magda who went home because she's sick. And Elena the other Russian and Elise who went home



And i'm glad i saw Jose Luis too before leaving :)



I started to reminisce before going home. I took a picture of that cinema where i watched Piratas del Carribe with Induja



And San Bernardo Entrance of the Metro



Oh wait i almost forgot. Outfit of the day, the über comfy Bombachos. I love them even if they look a bit funny at times. It's so comfyyy


And then i went home to eat dinner with Mamá Eva. It was quiet with just the 2 of us but it's like bonding moment :)

After that i started doing my luggage again and then it's ¡Buenas Noches! To my beloved Madrid
