"I love BJ!"

Posted by jeng_is_cute at 09:56 AM on August 2, 2008.

I've been seing this line in quite a number of ADs here in Singapore, and I was thinking, who the hell is BJ?

BJ = Beijing!!

Hahaha, darn slow! The Olympics is just a few days away! I'll be in BJ in a few weeks! Hopefully... We're going to visit Tobal, I know I'm a little over excited about it but I haven't purchase my plane ticket yet. But positive thinking and a claiming that I will do it helps. Yay!

*****

I woke up at 6:45am, which is great but then its a Saturday morning! syet! hahaha. I slept earlier than my usual bedtime yesterday, didn't went online because I was already feeling groggy (from itch medication) and after a busy week. And darn! I woke up like it was a work day. hahaha. Maitz, my housemate is still dreaming about mr. X (likely resembling Rovilson from TARA2) and here I am typing away and multiply/blog hopping. No complaints here! I miss people and reading their life thru their blog is a good way to catch up even if I don't have the chance to talk to them (Loser! LOL!) Darn! Why do I have to explain myself? hahaha.

Anyway, in a few hours I'll be going to the airport and meeting up Sarah! Yay! my new teammate. Oddly we've been officemates for almost 4 years and haven't been in the same project. And here we are, same work, same client, in a different country! Coolness.

But I'm just selfish, I just want to have someone to talk to that has the same work background as I am. An actual person, here, whom I could ask and could relate to what I go thru with work everyday. Selfish selfish! hahaha. I fairness I have already warned her of the hazards of work.. hahaha but we're from SPL-Manila, we've been thought and trained well

*****

I got TFC! yay! I know I've been telling myself that I could just watch Kapamilya show in Youtube, but when I am already facing my laptop, I can't seem to find time to watch at the same time work on my laptop. Syet syet! So finally told Maitz that I want TFC! hahaha. Can't take it not to be informed. Now I think I'll be living in the Living Room for awhile, hahaha.. get the joke?! living in living room.. kornik! hahaha.

Now I want to watch John Llyod and Sarah's movie, A Very Special Love. I don't know where it will be shown in Singapore. But I'm on a hunt of finding out where.

*****

I've just downloaded my pictures from Maitz Cam (Msg to Self:Finally!) Her cam has been with me I think since she got back from her birthday vacation and I still haven't copied my pictures.

I forgot that I even have photos of my last few days as a bum chick in Singapore. hahaha. I'll upload series of past photos like "Day of in East Coast Park", "Tourist Pictures with Faye", "From SG-MLA-SG weekend", " hahaha. Something like that... but when will I upload... hmm... Soon... hahaha.

*****

A little stressed. So many challenges. Plus, difficult people. Why can't I just have that 'I can't be bothered by you' attitude. Hahaha. Oh well, at the end of the day, I realize that these people are that way (difficult and have nothing better to do than to find fault in you) because they are sad and lonely and nothing better to do than to be difficult and find fault in you. hahaha. I think they are paid to be that way. Power trippers. hahaha. Will try to be blameless and not be stressed by these biatches. LOL!

Being at the Right Place and Time

Posted by jeng_is_cute at 02:34 AM on August 10, 2008.

Talk about Good Karma. I've been going to the client a lot since I've started working here so its a rarity that I am in the office. When my week started I told myself that I will be in the office more, after all, my contract stated that I will do work from our office but really I just don't like not having a permanent place to sit on whenever I go to the client's office. Though I like being at the client's office, it reminded me of the old SPL office in RCBC. Anyway, my good karma came when last Thursday I got a call from our admin manager Cassie. She asked me if I have my service phone (Old Nokia model) with me, and my charger. But I left my charger back home but she said to go up in 3rd floor anyways so I did. I even got lost (hahaha such a small office and I still got lost) finding where Cassie is sitting. Turns out she was sitting inside finance office, somewhere off limits unless you really have a business being there. First thing she asked me if I was comfortable with a Sony Ericsson, well yes I am, my personal phone is K610i. And so she gave me this phone.

  
Its a Sony Ericsson W910i! Oh my gulay! I didn't know what to say. Happiness! I asked why they where replacing my phone. They told me that a new support guy is coming in and they couldn't give the phone to a guy, girls are much better at taking care of things, I won't scratch it. Hahahaha. They should see my office laptop. Poor thing. The phone is brand new by the way! Unlike the old busted Nokia one. Coolness! Now my personal phone is staring to feel insecure. hahaha. I believe this is the model that Van was eyeing for but the color she wanted was un available that time so she got a different one. And another one of my good karma. I have a new teammate. Ngez Hu?!
I guess there is no point in not letting people know that we are working for the same company in Singapore. Because practically everyone who knew Sarah was coming here already thought of one thing, she's working with me. Yup, we are kinda like teammates. But really different work. Ask her how her week was. hahaha. Level up! AS in challenging to the max. Talk about doing a Functional Specs document on your first week at work. FS by the way is done by architects or senior designers in our previous company.Oh well we all learn to grow at some point in time. Oh forgot to mention that Sarah is still adjusting to calling me Anjela. Yezzz.. I'm better known by my screen name Anjela nowadays. hahaha!

5 mins of entry lah!

Posted by jeng_is_cute at 12:07 AM on August 29, 2008.

LAH is like lang in tagalog. Ah local Singaporean expression. I call it a sentence extender. Like Yes, Lah/No lah when you can simply say Yes or No. Whatever, this is not what I am blogging about. I am tired, my happiness is slowly depleting, but I still know how much I am blessed. But somehow these past few weeks, *sigh* definetly tested my patience. You know how irritating it is when you have a plan and it didn't come true. Darn. Last month I have a plan how my whole month of August will go. Starting with sarah coming here. Then meet up with Pads the week after. Then Kat will be here the week after that. I even asked Maitz to swap house chores schedule with me because I was pretty sure I'll be busy entertaining friends who are visiting during the weekends, and some plans during weekdays. But then things didn't work out the way I wanted, now I'm a whinny and sleeppy, cranky, antihistamine dependent biatch. Oh don't get me started with my itchy rashes, it flawed my legs! demmit. I hate it! I also have been drinking coffee. Now you know its pretty bad if I started drinking coffee... I become loopy and nutty. But I don't know how to fight sleepless-ness and over working. Life is sooo stressful right now. Sometimes I feel that I should just relax and be the easy going person that I am, but when expectations are set on me, I am just not handling it well. Oh well. I swear tomorrow will be different. I think I need to breath. Jeng breath! I'll be sticking a post it on my forehead thats says the lines in Avenue Q - Don't stress, Relax, Let life roll off your backs. Except for death and paying taxes, Everything in life is only for now!

*****

Anyway, still I am dying with envy to everyone in Manila right now who will be watching the Eheads reunion!! Waaaaaa! Eheads are like the Beatles of Philippine music! but unlike the Beatles, they are having a reunion!!! Waaaa! And I singing With A Smile! Lift your head, baby, don't be scared Of the things that could go wrong along the way You'll get by with a smile You can't win at everything but you can try. ... In a world where everybody Hates a happy ending story It's a wonder love can make the world go round But don't let it bring you down And turn your face into a frown You'll get along with a little prayer and a song. Lift your head, baby, don't be scared Of the things that could go wrong along the way You'll get by with a smile Now it's time to kiss away those tears goodbye

*****

Now this Eheads reunion brought me back to Meanies reunion. We sang Eheads meadley Xmas 2005 if I'm not mistaken. Anyway. This is us way back when. I miss this days.

I Am Lost

Posted by jeng_is_cute at 09:58 PM on August 31, 2008.

"It is when we lose ourselves in God that we are truly found"

That’s the little quote found below in today’s reflection In His Steps. Sometimes I feel that I am not worthy to be called God's daughter. I do feel that I am borderline hypocritical in my faith in God when my actions goes opposite with what I say. I am sorry. I know I want to be a good person and yet I sometimes feel that how I react to things is not Christ centred at all. I mean, the way I react to things going on around me, how I do tend to criticise people, how I answer back when I should just shout up. Why do I always do it? Argh! It’s frustrating.

I want to be in my happy place, where I am not blinded by frustrations and disappointments. In my head I know I am still blessed being here, still happy even though I claim that I am sad, still finding contentment in where I am right now. I need enlightenment.
