    @Santi Yes best feeling ever! Sa totoo lang di pa talaga nag sink in. At nakakatuwa lang din palang ishare sa'yo na wala din ako sa opisina today tulad mo nung nakuha mo yung grant mo. hehe! Di ko lang feel pumasok. Di ako nagleave. Naka Work-from-home ako ngayon. Hehehe!

    @SAP_Melaka yes kelangan nga talagang magschedule tayo nung get-together nating lahat. Si @xiaolico sa Melbourne din :) Di pa kami sure sa BM pero malamang after September pa kasi kelangan magstay ni hubby sa work nya until that month.

    @Ozlaz @RPhwithOZdream @rami Salamat! Oo! Mas magaan na talaga ang pakiramdam na nasa finish line na :)

    @MikeYanbu Pakiramdam ko kaunting antay na lang yan after mo masubmit yung Saudi PCC mo :) magkakasama sama din tayo sa finish line :D Ipagppray ko din yung grants ninyo ni @baknir

    @swirlycurly Thank you! :) Kitakits!!!

    @lcsagumjr Salamat :)

    @baknir Hahaha! Salamat! :) Ggraduate din tayong lahat :)

    @xiaolico I think i get what you mean. Kasi kapag nandyan na yung grant, sure na sya eh. Para sa kin happy ako kasi it means a better future para sa family ko pero at the same time nakakalungkot din kasi maiiwan ko dito yung parents ko and yung mga kapatid ko. Bittersweet na moment sya pagnarealize mo yun. Pero for now, focus na muna ako sa saya and sa pagenjoy ng time namin together ng pamilya ko habang nandito pa kami. :)
