Still remember back then, when Yellow first introduced me WAT, I was so freaking excited. I told myself I want to and I must join this program. I didn't think much and called my mom the next day to get permission. She's so supportive about it and just allowed me. I started to sent inquiries to Out of The Box(OoTB) and there goes my application.
I never think twice about it at all, not until Big Sur Lodge actually confirmed that they want me here. Fears made their way in, worries too. My brain started asking questions, but my heart tells me that I'll be okay. Knowing this might be the only chance for me to taste the life of USA, I forced myself to make payment as soon as possible, because there's no way I'm getting the refund. Yes, no room for second thoughts, all I was thinking was how to prepared myself for it.
Now, I'm here, I know this might be the wisest decision I've ever made in my life. Everything here's so different and beautiful . Maybe they're all new to me, but the West Coast, trust me, you would be speechless if you see it with your own eyes. You'll definitely be amazed by the work of nature. People here are very lucky to live so near to it. And now, I can die with no regrets.
Big Sur Lodge is a wonderful place. There are a lot hiking paths up to the hills. You can have a great view down the valley from top of the hill. Breathtaking views. I still didn't get to see the one thousand years old tree, I heard it's very huge.
People here are very friendly and nice, especially the Mexican. Maybe because they're not local, they keep looking after us and warn us about some people here. There's a guy here so racist, that he pissed a Mexican off. Catalino, the Mexican, just decided to throw a skunk on him.
I work under Housekeeping, the job doesn't seem to be tough for me, I did it a thousand times at home (Love my mom so much for those hard time training me to clean the house.). It's better to clean room rather than doing project(clean all windows or chairs.) Project's boring, clean room at least you'll be doing different things all the time.
Oh yeah, I spent a night at Monterey due to some misunderstanding with the employer. To be honest, I'm glad it happened. I did not regret spending 40 bucks there for food and a night there. In fact, I would love to have more time there, I have not fully explore it yet. It is a very beautiful small and quaint town, if I could, I would spend the rest of my life there.
I didn't write since high school, my writing and vocabulary are rusty. I'll try my best to write.
YES! I laughed so hard, he just tried to scare the girls again with an injured raven. The girls acted tough and I said 'How cute!'. You can literally see the disappointment on his face for we did not freak out. He didn't give up and say 'I'll ask the chef cook it as your breakfast for tomorrow.' and we all just say 'Alright thank you so much!'.
ReplyDeleteLiving in other country is different from going there for holiday. It is so lucky to live in other country, I wish I have the chance too! Gambateh!
