Post PostGrad for NZAS Alumni

Wow, it's been more than a year since I came back from postgrad studies in New Zealand. It feels like it was only yesterday I'd walk down to Warehouse on Queen Street from my flat on Anzac Ave. to buy a duvet or what not. Sigh. I'm not gonna lie to you, I miss Auckland. I miss the safety. I miss the order. I miss the cleanliness. 

NZAS batch 2013 & 2014 with NZ Amb. Strachan.

Anyway, back in the Philippines, we NZAS Alumni still see each other in get-togethers organized by the New Zealand embassy. In fact, yesterday was one of those events. The embassy contacted us about a get-together that the ambassador wanted to have with  us and visiting representatives from Education NZ and NZ universities. 

It was nice to see my batchmates as well as other NZAS alumni from earlier and later batches. We got to talk about the work we do now, as well as reminisce about our postgrad life back in New Zealand. One pleasant surprise was when Ambassador Strachan raffled off two (2) PAL travel gift certificates!
