9 Years Ago Today

It's been nine years, today, from the time of my arrival to Aotearoa New Zealand.  I left Manila on a hot and humid day, layover in Bangkok, to arrive in Auckland in the middle of winter.  It was cold and rainy, miles from my family and love ones.  It was the start of my NZ journey, to take-up a teaching fellowship at the Screen and Media Studies Department of the University of Waikato, while at the same studying for my PhD.  I left not only my 22-year career as a teacher but also an exciting and amazing journey as a broadcaster on radio and television.
