On the first morning upon arriving in the Philippines, it happened to coincide with the Pinning Day Ceremony. Alhamdulillah, we had the opportunity to participate in the event and receive pins. In short, the Pinning Day Ceremony is an event where parents or guardians attach pins to their children as a symbol of their readiness to start internships or step into their roles as teachers or professionals in their respective fields. After the ceremony, we were invited to have lunch together. We were served halang-halang, which turned out to taste quite similar to lodeh. Later, we were taken on a tour around the SLSU campus and warmly welcomed by the lecturers and staff. We also had a casual interview for the SLSU website or Facebook page. In the evening, seven buddies came to our cottage to try Mie Sedap, and we enjoyed a relaxed chat together.

When we arrived at the place we would be staying for a month, I was so grateful because we were given a very comfortable cottage, fully equipped with all the necessities we needed. And when we reached the front door, we were warmly greeted by our buddies—yay!

Honestly, I feel a bit insecure about sharing my knowledge of English with students or friends in the Philippines because English is their second language, which means they are, of course, more accustomed to and knowledgeable about English. But that’s okay, because in the Philippines, we will teach and learn together. Bismillah. Three days before departure, my parents held a prayer gathering with the neighbors to pray for my safety and smooth journey wherever I go. In addition, two days before departure, my campus organized a farewell event and a moment to ask for blessings from the dean and rector. Alright, I think that’s all for this blog about the H-1 preparations. Actually, there’s a lot more I want to share, like how my suitcase...
