Miss.Adventure: FILLED OF THINGS THAT WERE DONE IN FIRST 100 DAYS IN DENMARK (DAY 1)

DAY 1 --- Miles away

May 19, 2009 -- I arrived at 7:35am here in Denmark. Quite tiring because of the long hour travel from Manila to Copenhagen. Just a bit of background, I traveled for 6,729 miles. From Manila to Bangkok it’s 1359 miles and Bangkok to Copenhagen it’s 5367 miles. That was a sad moment for me. Leaving my family and seeing them crying esp. Lei but I need to be strong this what I wanted and this what I need to do. So, I left my emotional weakness in the Philippines and find my new strength here in Denmark with the help of God. May 18, 2009, I boarded on the airplane at 8:31pm going to Bangkok and got there around 10pm with Juvilyn, my new found friend. She is so young and also working here. I’m boarding on the Thai Airways, I find it nice. They were nice and approachable. We had our dinner there and then get some sleep. It was a 2-hour flight and I am now on my dream destination Thailand. Yes, I really want to go there. I want to try the exotic cuisine and ride on the elephant. Well, I’ve been there but only on the airport. Juvilyn and I waited for almost 4 hours for our connecting flight heading to Copenhagen. So I checked if I can get log on yahoo unfortunately, there’ a problem in my connection. I was frustrated because I want to say hi to everyone and checked my e-mails. I lost hope so I turned it off. Off the board to our airplane to our main destination Denmark. It was a long trip. It took more than 12 hours! All I can do is to sleep and eat. Imagine that for 12 hours and I can’t talk to someone to share all inside my minds. I feel so lonely. But I was stunned when I saw Denmark in aerial view. Far different from the Philippines. No tall buildings, all lands and houses and sea. When I got off board It was cold. I was freezing. They said It is summer but imagine 11 degrees Celsius and it’s summer! I saw Jessica and I met Tina for the first time. She was so nice. Well, I don’t know how to interact with them. I know they have their culture and different language that I don’t understand! I’m like an alien. Well, I am. Hahaha..

When we got home, she toured me around the house and in my roomShe showed me some stuff and had walked around he neighbors, do some shopping and watched little Sebastian when she fetch the children.

I am now in another place. I am now a foreigner. This is new for me. All is new. The place, people and work. I hate changes. But I need to embrace that concept. I hate new. But I need to get over that.

I am far away from my family, from my comfort-zone and do all this things alone. Yes, Jessica is here. But not always. I need to be tough and learn things bit by bit.

I am trying to relax now and fix my stuff. I want to get online and call my parents but unfortunately I don’t have access yet. Hopefully, communication will be ok.

MORAL LESSON: I trust the One who created me.
