Farrindon Station

The link between my university and my work. This train takes to the station where I work, it takes about 40 minutes to get there (6 stops I think). It would take me 10-15 mins to walk to this station from my uni though, and if I'm lucky, I would be able to catch the train just on time. And not have to wait 30 minutes for the next one.

Farringdon Station recently opened their new terminal that links several lines, both underground and overground. It looks really fancy. This is also near to one of my favorite sushi places, because it's cheap and really delicious. One time, I craved for their sushi, that I went here and went back to the office during my lunch break. Obviously, I was late coming back. But hey,  it was too good that I didn't mind. I'm actually craving for it now. Mmm.

My Spanish Best Friend

I miss her. The reason I enjoyed my time at uni. Meeting her and being friends with her has been fun. I haven't seen her since she left for Madrid back in September 2011. We try to Skype but time zone issues come in the way. But thanks to Whatsapp and BBM and twitter, we're still in touch. 

I like this picture of her. She looks better happy, and I'm glad she finally is. 

Uni Life

Towards the end of my 3 year course in City University London, suddenly there were pink & green couches appearing at one part of our university building. And then what to us was funnier was this fake sheep on fake grass just down the steps from the pink & green couches. We weren't sure what they (university management) were trying to show here. Maybe they were trying to be funny. Maybe they were trying to make it a more comfortable place to 'chill'. To us, it was just another thing to laugh about.

University was an interesting 3 years of my life. I met a lot of people from different walks of life. Classmates born in one country but the parents' origin from another. I was already different in that aspect. Born in the Philippines to Filipino parents, and proud of it. But I would have to say parts of university life was awkward too. To be honest, I was more like myself outside of uni, then I was at uni. I wouldn't stay around for long. I went to class and went home or to the embassy after, unlike in high school. It just didn't feel quite right.

The best thing of it all was meeting one of my best friends in uni. If I keep any memory from those 3 years, it would be my friendship with her. Even though we're in different countries now, and continents and timezones too, I'm thankful that there's facebook, twitter, whatsapp and bbm for us to keep in touch. Oh and skype too, but timezone issues go into play here.

So since today is Wednesday, it's time for sushi and cheesecake. Just like the we would use to do.

Lunch at ULU

After our friday class at uni, my bestfriend decided that we have lunch at ULU (University of London Union) for a change, since we didn't like staying at our campus long plus the food wasn't really that good. And oh I think we were gonna meet up with her classmate from Spain. And so here we were.

It seemed like a very chilled place to be for lunch and I kinda wished our uni had something like this. Hmm, there was a lot of restaurants and bars nearby to our uni, but I guess there was something different about this place. Maybe it was the ambiance of this place or the chairs and couches they had or of the students studying here. Maybe it was the food they served, just like they did at pubs. Or maybe, just maybe, we weren't too fond of our uni. Lol.
