Borehamwood & Elstree Station

This is the view I kept seeing everytime I would leave work late and make my way to the station. As I've said, it takes me about 30-40 minutes to reach Kings Cross- St Pancras station and usually I get picked up by my dad's driver. If i'm heading straight home, I get off at West Hampstead Thameslink and have to walk about 5-10minutes to West Hampstead Overground platform before taking the train towards Clapham Junction. 

In the last year, the B&E station certainly leveled it up by having three different bus stops at the station alone, and certainly made the station look very clean and organised. 

The thing I like about London transportation is that they are mostly on time. Delays and diversions can't be avoided sometimes but if you're not in much of a hurry, it's okay to wait.

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.

St Pancras at Night

This is my view on my way home from work. From Borehamwood & Elstree station, I travel via First Capital Connect, to St Pancras - Kings Cross Station. And then I get picked up by my dad's driver. The trip is about 30 to 40 minutes and they are mostly on time.

I miss this view. Rain or shine or snow or hail, this is the view I see. I miss the Starbucks I go to have coffee, where I believe it is covered with glass now, because the cold wind is too much sometimes. There's also Pret A Manger, beside Monsoon, where I go to avoid the gush of cold wind. There Boots and Marks & Spencer at the very end, where I buy 75p sandwiches and my favorite snacks, respectively.

Meetings

Life in London consisted of meetings at the Philippine Embassy. This was for One Filipino, in preparation for a town hall meeting back in early 2011. As you can see, I would be the only girl in the group. But then my presence is much more needed to make sure things don't go out of order on the actually day. I was more the observer to make sense of all that has been said.

There was more of a back story to why I was here too. If I didn't (so-called) attend this meetings, I wouldn't actually be able to talk or see my two good guy friends, who were spearheading this project. Oh well, feels so long ago now. So many things have happened since then - good and bad, but that is for another day.

Btw, the pink jacket is mine.
