Das Schloss

Schloss in German means castle. The building seen in the picture is called the Schloss Premstätten. The foundation of this castle was laid by the knights of Premstätten in 1164. Today, this castle is being used an office by the company that I now work for. So they say that there's actually a lot of history in our workplace. Sana lang walang mga "mumu". Hehe.

As you can see, snow has already started to fall here and the temperature has further dropped to as low as -6°C. My mother thinks that this might be the earliest winter she has ever experienced in her 15 years here. I hope that it won't be the longest though. Right now I'm still enjoying the cold weather but I just don't know for how long.

Ich bin hier!

It has been more than a week since my arrival here in Austria. So far so good. The picture above shows the bed portion of the hotel room where I am currently staying at. I'll be staying here until I find a place of my own. It's pretty convenient since the hotel is only 10 minutes away from the office on foot. My only problem is that during that 10 minute walk, I become exposed to the cold weather. Already, the temperature has dropped to as low as 2°C since I arrived and it is expected to get colder in the weeks to come. Brrr!

One Month Unnoticed

No picture for now. This time I just want to write little bits of things about this and that.

It's been a month since my last day of work in ADI. For short, it's been a month since I became a bum! Not that I'm complaining. Actually, I'm beginning to get the hang of it. Now I understand why a lot of people don't want to look for work. Being a bum is quite enjoyable. Believe me, the whole month of me being jobless passed by like a flash. Unfortunately, it will be over soon. I still don't know when exactly I'll be leaving but I think it will not be later than the 2nd week of next month.

Some people keep a mental list of the things that they want to do when they have the time, but never really get to do them when they do have the time. I'm one of those people. There are some things though that I regret not doing during my month-long break, like traveling to parts of the country I've never been to, signing up for volunteer work for a good cause, dining at places I've always wanted to try eating at, etc. Anyway, there's still some time to do at least one of those things. I think I'll be doing the eating thing!
