MERDEKA!!! Celebrating 69th Independence Day of Indonesia
Hi guys! Am back with another fresh post for you all, and was hoping to share some thoughts on school programs and activities that happened in my workplace this time. For those who've been following my travel posts, you'd have figured that I'd never share any of those activities since then. I guess they are also worth remembering as how I treasure all my travel experiences.
Grabbed these picture of Paskibra team from Ms. Marilou Sergote' album (thanks sis)!
Every year, my workplace kicks off with a whole-day celebration in solemn ceremonies in commemoration of their 69th Independence Day here in Indonesia held every 17th of August. The events started off with a flag raising ceremony lead by our energetic Paskibra team of selected Senior students. I have joined this institution since 2009 and I can say the BIG improvement on them. Kudos to all the Paskibra team and to their trainors! Really appreciated your dedications, discipline and hardworks during your practice for the said event.
Tons of fun comes right after the ceremony, where students coming from different houses participated and competed with one another in the different games. Students were equally distributed into different houses namely, Indonesian Sea; Arafuru;Timor; Banda; Java Sea; Sawu; and Sunda.

Eating Krupuk, Indonesian prawn or fish crackers
A fun round of Tug-of-War; this is the best group ever, housed with broad and big buddies =D
These events will not be completed without indulging with different Indonesian dishes especially with their iconic dish, Nasi Tumpeng, never been absent, usually served during this kind of special events.
Festival of food carts also graced the events alongside the parking area of the school, selling "kue ape", a Betawi traditional cake stuffed with soft-centered cake looks like muffin with crispy, sweet crust; "Tahu Gejrot",Cirebon delicacy consists of fried tofu and usually eaten with sweet and sour sauce with adequate amount of crushed chili and garlic ;'Pecel Sayur',a real influence of Javanese using some chili peanut sauce mounted with different steamed vegetables; "Es Doger", an especialty from Bandung desserts; and the "Bakso Malang", a commonly made from beef and vegetables.
Wow! So much yums in the tums! Hehehe =D Big love to all the members of the committee of this Independence Day Celebration for pulling this off. Great job!
Hope you like the change in the usual posts! And till the next school reports, great week ya'll! Xx

Quick Getaway with Mom at Manleluag Spring National Park
I rarely get to spend quality one-on-one time with my mom because of my busy schedules and an ocean away from her since I'm working abroad, but we managed to take time off for a much needed mother-daughter bonding time recently at Manleluag Spring National Park, Mangatarem Pangasinan. Two swimming pools of this protected landscape are filled with warm, mountain water that was really soothing to the nerves and soul. So I think Mom would love it! Happy to see her smile that day with all the gorgeous snaps ;) Look Up style according to Mom. :D :D :D We were both really refreshed and rejuvenated after the short dip at the pool, and so glad for the precious time there together! Gonna make it a point to bring her back more often ;) Afterwhich, because we were really close by, we decided to drop by to my mother - in - law's place for a quick snacks and to witnessed the birthday celebration of my husband's niece. Party!!! Party!!! Party!!!

Hotel Lisboa Stopover
It's been a month ago before I have shared to you this - my travel experiences in Macau last 29th of June with my family. Sorry about that guys. I've been pretty busy preparing my students for their upcoming Cambridge examination in Chemistry this October/November. I was assigned to trained them well for their Paper 1, 3 and 5 skills area. Lots of my surprise, all of them were taking my subject and had dropped other subjects like Biology. Well, pretty impressive but hope to God to bless all our hard works and preparations for this examination and get more A* compared to last year...:) Time for break....So thankful for this 12 - day refreshing break. I've got ample time to unload myself for all the paper works, to unwind and also to update my blogs :) As I go along, I'll share with you all the free rides we had experienced in Macau. Try it on your next visit in Macau....it's fun! ************************************************************************************
