France
So... after deciding to take a bus rather than taking a taxi. taxi = expensive and small, bus = cheaper, big and spacious, so... yeah, it's quite obvious. :P We rode the bus (C2) until Universite Catholique. Good thing the bus driver can speak a bit of English because since we weren't able to buy tickets beforehand, we bought it from him. During the trip/ride, we were able to spot isen (our school) along the streets. We got off the bus on our stop, and started taking pictures because 1) the view was so beautiful, 2) we were so happy that we have arrived and 3) we're vain people we wanted to. =P We walked to AEU (the one responsible for the dorms) to pay for our first rent and to get our keys. After getting our keys, lost part 1! (I think I've mentioned this in the previous post D: but I'll be repeating it anyway =P We headed for our dorm but we unknowingly went past it. After going around for several minutes just looking for our dorm, two people approached us. They introduced themselves as Manuela and Kristoff, and they were from Galilee (our dorm) and they were waiting for us ten minutes ago but we never came ('coz we were lost) So they guided us to our dorm and to our rooms. They also gave us a tour of the dorm and gave us a run down of things we needed to remember (like taking out the trash, the scheduled cleaning, etc.) We scheduled to meet Manuela at 2:00 pm because she was going to help us buy a sim card and open a bank account (for kim, kem and ken anyway). Within the two hours or so, we started to explore Lille in search of a supermarket. And guess what... we got lost again!!! We weren't able to find Match or Hyperchampion! OwO we stopped by one shop to buy water and that's all. We went back to Galilee and met up with Manuela (we love Manuela :D )... Took the bus to Republique Beaux-Arts and bought a sim card (with phone!) (It was a promo ok? :P 35 euros for a sim card and a phone :D 30 euros for the sim card only) WOOO! PINK PHONE!!! HOT PINK PHONE!!! YEY TO KEN WITH PINK PHONE! joke =P They weren't able to open a bank account and we were asked to go back the next day. We went back to the dorm and started to look for Match or Hyperchampion again. Once again, we got lost. =P We also thought that we were going to hyperchampion but turns out we were walking towards Match. XD Anyway, it suddenly rained. Good thing we found a shade. It was also dinner time by then. Another good thing, we stopped by a kebab place. So... we decided to eat there and wait til the rain stopped. (yey ali baba!) kebabs are... KEBAAAAAAAAAAAABS!!! They're so yummy! (they pretty much have big servings). :P We were able to get 6 stamps in our frequency card (even though it was supposed to be 5 stamps). When we turned around gthe corner... TADAAAAAAH!!!! MATCH!!!! FINALLY! So, we shopped and bought water and other necessities. We went back to the dorm, and we finally had some shut eye. (whew! enough of getting lost)

Lille
We woke up quite early since it was a good day. Naaaah. We woke up early for the breakfast =P breakfast was from 7:00 am - 8:30 am, weekdays. We ate bread and drank milk. :D We went to Isen to ask for our student cards and schedules but turns out (as Ms. Litton said) we were going to get in on Monday like everybody else. We were able to meet our professors though. Sir Emmanuel Druon and Ned Flanders Sir Dominique Delannoy. XD Since we already found match, we went to look for hyperchampion! :D We found Hyperchampion (quite easily and never got lost). After that, we went to eat lunch I guess. I forgot >.< This happened more than a week ago! Bad for me since I have short term memory. OwO Anyway!!! We went back to Republique and took more pictures!!! The view in Republique was simply amazing :D I love the fountain. :P We were able to windowshop around a bit until Ken, Kim and Kem went back to BNP to open a bank account. Meki and I still wandered around and saw Ken and Kem outfits. >:) ahahaha Since we got tired, we sat on a bench near BNP and waited for them. When they were finished, they didn't notice us and went to the shops. Meki and I were stalkers and we were following them from behind and texting them to look back :P Well, they found us anyway =P so we pointed out the Ken and Kem clothes. We went back to eat Subway. Then headed back to the dorm. I forgot what happened next. OwO ah... I think we were planning for our Paris trip. ah.. yes. We were contacting Tita Luz (Meki's churchmate) in Paris and arranged a meeting with them. :D

Lille
Paris
Disneyland
First weekend!!! No breakfast this time. OwO Anyway, we went to the Lille Flandres (or was it Lille Europe?) station to book for a ride to somewhere in Paris (I forgot) but there weren't any seats available anymore. So we contacted Tita Luz again and decided on another train. After some time, we booked a train to Paris CDG (airport) and we were on our way! :D Upon arrival, we already saw Tita Luz and her family! :D They gave us a warm welcome and kissed us. (You know, beso-beso kind of kiss. :P ) We were able to meet Tita Luz, Tito Paul, David (the eldest), Jennifer (the one next to David) and Mandy (the youngest)!!! :D We rode in their car and went to Disneyland!!! WEEEEEE! :D During the trip, we were chatting with Tita Luz at the back and we were starting to get to know Mandy (tito paul, kem and david were sitting in front so we weren't able to talk with them much) Jennifer was still not in the mood back then so we weren't able to talk with her that much. O_o when we arrived, there lots of people!!!!!!!!! Well, it's expected since it was a Saturday anyway. We went in the park and lined up for the rides. XD I think the ride was called Tomorrowland's speedway, I forgot yet again. OwO We lined up for about an hour (and ate and talked a lot) but when it was already our turn we were happy :)) Jennifer was also finally cheering up. :D anyway, the next stop, Space Mountain! Woo! My first rollercoaster experience in France! My glasses almost fell off the ride but good thing I was able to catch it. OwO After the ride, we lined up again for the Buzz lightyear ride. =P I only reached the third to the last level rank with my points :( well most of us were in that level anyway. So, after that, we ate lunch. We were also able to watch a play called "the Legend of Lion King" while having lunch :D I love the effects~ *0* So next stop, pirates of the carribean! :D We waited in line again. :P then rode the ride. For our last ride, we went to Big thunder mountain! :D The line was really really looooooooooooooooongggg. Srsly. we waited in line for about 1.5 hours. OwO I forgot. But mahn. it was worth it. (we even had a video of the ride >:) ) I was also able to buy the keychains my sister wanted but I only bought a few since it was quite expensive x_X Since our feet were sore, we headed back to the car. But before that, we went to the train station and reserved a train back to Lille for the next day. OwO When we rode the Bulokswagon (as Tita Luz would call it) Tito Paul gave us a tour of Paris (well the main attractions anyway). We took pictures of at the Eifel Tower (at night!!! *0* ) it was so beautiful!!! Very very beautiful! Simply wonderful! *0*!!! we headed back to their home to eat our dinner (at 12 midnight! XDD ). Tita luz cooked Adobo for us <3 Rice~~ *0* We also played poker (well, me, kem, ken, kim, david and jennifer played) but we were also getting sleepy. OwO In the end, David, Kem, Ken and I were the only ones playing. OwO Well, when three of us were left, we got really tired and decided to go all in. I got lucky OwO So we fixed and arranged the things. David gave the girls a goodnight kiss on the cheeks and shook the boys' hands. Then we slept :D

Paris
Lille
We woke up late and also had our breakfast late. Well, we were supposed to wake up early when Ken's "Dangerous" alarm went off but we just slept again. :P After eating breakfast, we went to the market with tita Luz and bought some things we could use for cooking! Potatoes <3 ahahaha. it was realy cheap in the market! we also bought things we needed for ourselves. when we went back, Tita Luz started to cook lunch (and we just ate OwO) Zuccini! <3 Mmmmm... yummy. Well, Mandy and Jennifer also saw my sketchbook last night so by now, I drew some pictures for them. =P Well, they gave us a ride to the airport and waited for our train. Glad we weren't late. :D Then We kissed each other good bye and we're off to Lille! :D
Oh noes! I'm going to be late... err... that's all for now! I'll try to blog again later. I need more water
