I remember when I first arrived in Australia.

2019
I went to Australia to study. I lived with my tito Joe and tita Therese, my cousins Seph, Rick, Ruth and Cia. There is a Filipino Community din. Sila din yung churchmates namin. Every fortnight ( every 2 weeks) may tinatawag na bible study (BS)  wherein each Filo group is the host of the BS. So umiikot per bahay every 2 weeks. Tapos lahat nagsasama sama doon: and every Sundays, nagchuchurch din kami. With each Families.

30th April 2019
I arrived in Australia. Sinundo ako nila pinsan ko and tita to our home in Mandurah, Western Australia. I was very welcome and I love that I came in the winter.
2nd of May, 2019
I was sleeping in my room when i hear an unfamiliar sound. May bisita kami. Half- awake me walked out of the room and was making way to the kitchen when the garage door opened.

I saw someone. A guy on a black hoodie and a pair of glasses. I can see him but not quite. I got no glasses on and i was half asleep.
Tita Therese was also in the kitchen and she introduced me.
Guy: hello tita, si Seph po? May kukunin po sana ako? Tools po pinapakuha niya.
Tita: asa kwarto pa sya gisingin mo nalang.
Guy: ay sige po tita ako na po.

Papunta sa kwarto ni Seph si Guy*
Tta: Ino! Andun sya sa theater nakaroom ngayon. Si Jas ung andyan ngyon.
Ino: ay sorry po tita, akala ko po andito sya.
Tita: ay oo nga pla. Pamangkin ni tito Joe mo, si Jas.
Jas: Hi! Ikaw pala yung kapatid ni Hero. Jas pala.
Ino: uy okay lang, kumusta? Ino. Tita puntahan ko na po si Seph.
Tita: oo sige!

He was always in the house with his brother most of the time before but when his brother went to Melbourne, he did'nt quite show up for a while. Anyway, mg cousins are also busy at work.
Jas: good morning po tita, sino po yun?
Tita: nakatulog ka ba? Almusal kana. Ah yun ung kapatid ni Hero. Nameet mo na yung si Hero diba? Yung sa kasal ni ate Ruth mo? Siya si Ino, bunso yan.
Jas: ahhh oo tita nameet ko na si Hero! May kapatid pala yun? Nakikita ko na sya dati sa posts ni Seph. Kaya pala familiar tita.

Kim: Jas! Andito na sila Tita patapos kna ba?
Jas: yes te! In a minute palabas na.

I was awaken on my thoughts. I covered myself on the towel and dried myself. I wore my towel on my hair and wore the pink silk robe and went out of the room.
