"Teaching is the profession who creates other professions"

The Beginning ✈😍 January 8, 2019 around 12:00 noon (1st flight) I am the person who loves adventure, and travelling outside my country (Philippines) is one of my dreams. Actually, this was all my first time. First time to visit other places, to ride an airplane, to travel in abroad, to join international program and to live miles away from my family. I was very excited during this moment yet nervous because again as what I've said I'm a first timer. I was thinking a lot of things and there were so many what if's came to my mind but I just sighed and say "I can do it with the greater glory of God, just stay positive self". I grabbed this opportunity for me to have a lifetime memorable experiences. By the way, we traveled for almost 3 days with 4 connecting flights. From Surigao City to Butuan City, Butuan City to Manila (1st flight), Manila to Bali (2nd flight), Bali to Jakarta (3rd flight) and lastly from Jakarta to Yogyakarta Indonesia. Thanks God for ...

Touch down Indonesia❤😍 It was January 9, 2019 (Saturday) at 12 o'clock in the morning when we arrived at Bali, Indonesia with my co-sea teachers from my home university in Surigao City, Philippines and Sister Sahlee Trinilyn Palejo, SPC (the one who accompanied us from Surigao City, Philippines to Jakarta Indonesia). I am very happy that I've been in this place in Bali even just a short period of time because this is one of the popular/famous places in Indonesia. It is well-known for its very fine sand & white beaches, mountains, volcanoes and other tourists spots. This picture was taken inside the airport of Bali, I was with Sister Sahlee Palejo, SPC (the one wearing gray dress) and my two classmates who were my companions in my host university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

It was 8 o’clock in the morning when we had campus tour at Universitas Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta Indonesia with my friends from Surigao City, Philippines and buddies (Ardan, Vanny, and Mutiara). During this day, just the 3 of us (me, Kate and May) among the participants had an opportunity to roamed around the campus since we were the first participants who arrived in Indonesia.
