Loooong Day...

Jet Lag as per google means "Extreme tiredness and other physical effects felt by a person after a long flight across several time zones."

It's pretty hard keeping myself awake... I hope I can survive this day... hehe...

Visiting Den Haag

This is not the first time that I was required to go to the Netherlands to attend a workshop.  I can say my trip this time of the year is quite lonelier than before.  Why?

• the trip I had last year was full of excitement,  I was nervous but very excited.  I was sent to attend the workshop as part of the transition activities for our client.   It was really a good experience meeting most of the people that I was working with in person and actually experiencing their day to day life (even for only a week),
• the trip this year... is uncertain.  It is the same workshop.  However, I don't feel as much support as I got compared to last year.  Honestly, I feel like I'm going to a war all alone with one 45 mm gun. 

It was nice going back here.  At least I was allowed to choose the flight via Singapore which gave me a chance to enjoy a day with my brother's family before I went here. 

It was really nice to spend the time with Jay, Ia and Sashi... my family outside of Manila :) We ate and played with Sashi... talked about little things in life.. and it was nice to catch up with what's happening.  I'm excited to see them again on Sunday.  :)

My flight from Singapore to Amsterdam took around 14 hours (left SG at 12:00MN arrived Netherlands at 2:00PM).  Surprisingly, I was able to sleep better than last year. 

As I am travelling alone, it gave me time to think about what's going on with my life, the choices that I took, the opportunities I let pass me by, the burden that I seem to be holding within me.
