I feel really blessed. Yes, I still do have a lot of challenges... yet I feel more secure having God with me everyday, thru family and friends who are constantly praying for me. Being where I am now... amazing!

I love watching this show in Discovery Home and Health! Basically its about Jon and Kate who have 2 sets of multiples. 6 years old twins, then 2 year old sextuplets = 8 set of kids! That enough is an interesting subject already, then first time I watched it made me a fan! I mean they editted the show in such a way that you are really meeting a family, family issues etc etc. Just now I finished watching an episode taken during christmas, Kate and Jon, had this christmas tradition where in the kids would pick up names in a basket who they will give gifts to for christmas (kinda like pinoy's monito-monita) - they said that they do this to make the kids thoughtful of their brothers and sisters. And during shopping they talk to their kids like normal people (not baby talking to them) and you can see they have smart kids, cause at 2 years old they could make decisions what to pick up for their monito.

Well I think its a lucky 8.

I love it that it is raining today... maybe I took this quote too literally, but I'm reminded that I am blessed and I am thankful for being where I am now.

This is a picture I edited taken during Maitz (my housemate) photoshoot last May 1 by Jjerc. I did her hair and make-up.

And for all the right reason. I guess, very challenging as my future holds for me... I think I am happier. I have VERY BIG shoes to fill right now, I'm not complaining just have to learn a lot more in a very short amount of time.

And besides to those of you who know the in-house training given by my former employer(yes those training that pass or fail trainees). lets just say that if I take it now (again) it would cost me around 15000SGD for 10 days of training. You don't believe me? visit the university. So I am so thankful for all my LEARN bookings! hahaha.

Blog! Blog! I've never been more excited to blog. Today is my 10th day at work. Yes, if you haven't heard I have work! yey! I'm an Employment Pass (EP) Holder! coolness! I am so thankful I found a job I know I could really excel in (how many times have I told people that)... as for the pay, its good enough, could be better, but really not my concern right now. I'm working can you believe it! Now I could seriously look back at this entry and laugh at myself (click me!).

Nothing like the stress of work! I am loving it! Although its physically tiring - I've become an alaxan adik and I am running out of supplies. And to think I haven't started any real work yet. I've been reading A LOT of client documents lately. Something tells me expectations are high... no matter how I try to keep it low (for the time being). I am praying that they hire 1 more person to the team, so pray with me ok?! Right now I'm just going where the flow is since I'm in a new company that has its own set of standards. Actually when you look at it we almost have the same standards as my former employer, sometimes they just call things differently. Work is seriously challenging! Ah if only I'm at liberty I could tell you the day to day challenges I have... just looking forward to making this really work, because its seriously a really nice work experience... Amazing for my CV! hahaha. But before that happens, got to make my brain stretch a little farther than usual. I think I should stop pressing that panic button.

As for people at work. We have pinoys! Filipinos here are everywhere! Sometimes I forget that we are in a different country because chances are you get to be with Filipinos, in the MRT, while walking, hearing mass... there are always pinoy. So far pinoys have been really friendly in the office. Pinoys will always be pinoy, they love chismis! I get to know people in the office because they always tell stories about them. Chismis!And I think we always are the biggest group of people eating together during lunch, we tend to pull 2 or 3 chairs together.

Culturewise, sometimes I still get lost in translation, especially when things are meant to be a joke, I think I miss the punchline. Also I often say come again? because some people have really heavy singlish accent. And there are those who have a funky smell. But other than that life here is pretty much liveable.

Oh and I am now be forever be known by my real god given name... hahaha! Sometimes I will forget to look when someone calls my name! demmit... hahaha!

There are things I still miss with my old job. No.. not the work, hahaha, but the people I work with! And the office space, hahaha! But seriously I miss the people I've worked with. I've become attached to them and I was actually considered a senior when I left. But then as time pass slowly those seniors are starting to move on as well... I guess its time for an exodus after all... Its just a matter of striking while the iron is hot... Or recognizing an opportunity when it presents itself. Now, I find these kinds of things normal. Yes it is! People do find ways to make their life more than what they are now. There are those who constantly strive to make their lives better. Some choices are successful some are so so but as long as you have tired, its way better than being pessimistic and not doing anything about it. As what I've said to my friends, its either you be contented with your life right now (stop complaining! its your choice to be there) or do something about your life... and try to make some risk. Except for debt and paying taxes everything in life is only for now.

Anyway, share share, I enjoyed reading this article that makes me hope someday I could blog my own personal version.

*Sigh* I don't know what side of the bed I woke up on since my bed is only a single, but crap. My darn head hurts! I seriously woke up at the wrong side of the bed today. My day wasn't really that bad. It was just a normal work day... might have screwed a couple of times, starting from my MRT ride to work - I didn't catch the empty train when I should have! Demmit. I was just feeling kinda low. Seriously low.

I think I am now feeling what people call homesickness... oh yes, I think it finally came, and what better day to come in than today, right? When I am also having an information overload moment - in I.T. terms, not enough disk space to take all information in, or memory too low.. hahaha.

I just miss being home. Not really missing anyone in particular. Just miss being back home, and spending summer like summer - Beach, Trekking, Food trips, or something outdoors. Its not that my friends here aren't inviting me out, like going wakeboarding or something, but it sure is really different from spending it back home.

Syet! What the?! I'm up. Seriously darn awake at 3am this morning and I can't sleep.

Oh well.
