Well, we're on our third week... almost halfway there. We're all getting used to the 'aussie life'. Walking everywhere.. not eating rice everyday, and watching Big Brother and Australian Idol. Work is work. Don't really wanna comment on that, but the trainers that we have are just GREAT. They are SO FUN and down-to-earth. Willing to spend their weekends with us, and welcoming us to their homes. They're FANTASTIC! :)
We've been having a great time here and they are one of the reasons why. We really have to return the favor when they go to manila!

Brissy
That's what the people here call Brisbane. Well, 1 week down, 8 more to go. I'm counting the days til I see my family again. In the meantime, I have been advsed over and over again to just enjoy the trip.. which is what i've been trying to do. Keeping myself busy with training, and other stuff :)
We were supposed to go home for a week, but we were only given single entry visas, so it was decided that we just stay for the whole 2 months. What are we going to do during our break? Well, we're going to Sydney! Our clients will be sending us to Sydney for a few days of R&R. Accomodations, food and transportation will be taken cared of.... we are all so thankful.
In the meantime, here I am texting and calling away like there's no tomorrow. I am now a vodafone/optus user. Texting has been my comfort. It's the main line of communication I have with my family back home.
Yes, all i do here is EAT!!! I have been living like a PIG for the past week! I really need to slow down. hahahaha. It's a good thing that it's australian culture to walk everywhere so I get to do some exercise.
Everyday we go to the office (10 minute walk from the apartment) at 830 and stay there til 430. Then it's free time! Well, that's my trip so far.. check out my friendster for some pics.. and I've posted the link to yahoo photos on the bulletin board.
I miss everyone terribly... Hope everyone is surviving without me! hahahaha

It's official...
I will be leaving for Brisbane this friday night. Will be staying there for 2 months, with a 4 day leave in between. I'm going to miss my baby and hubby soooooo much!! :(
I was told that we have a full itinerary during our stay.. even on weekends. So I guess that's good. Won't have to dwell on my depression of being away from the fam..
It's my first time going down under. I hope it's a nice visit. Of course, I'm there to work too.. Let's not forget that! I've been looking up some stuff about Brisbane, and it seems like a cool place. I also like the place where we're going to live. It looks good on pictures, let's see if it's the same in actuality.
