Annyeong! I'm Jeng Cute, a.k.a. imnsho (for this blog anyways) I still use another web handle but that's for you to figure out.
Born, raised and proudly Pinoy! A rock-chic (wannabe - far from being one). I love to watch TV, movies, plays, K-drama, J-drama, and/or anything worth watching -- then tell you what I think in this blog (cool huh?). Dreams of traveling the world -- starting with traveling in my own country. Welcomes challenges -- then rants about it. Probably connected to you thru Friendster, Multiply, 6' degrees of separation. I'm just an Ordinary Girl trying to get by (haha awfully sounds familiar).
Opinions expressed here do not necessarily reflect that of my employer, family, nor friends. -- They have their own website and personal blogs to express it. 졩

It's late but I just have to blog this... Maitz and I watched Avenue Q tonight in Esplanade. And I love it, just the way I Love it before when I watched in RCBC Theater in Manila! The Best! Plus the feeling that you are watching an All Filipino Cast in a foreign country makes me really proud to be Pinoy! Plus you know every thing they talk about is sooooooooooo true! But they just made it a little twisted and exagerated way ofcourse. And btw, those who are curious in asking me if Carla is better than Rachel vise versa.. answer is they aren't comparable, both really did a wonderful job as Kate and Lucy. Love them both!
Hopefully I could blog more on it when I get a break (this Sunday - cross fingers, I need pahinga!). Maitz took the picture by the way, she cut Aiza and Brian, as long as Joel Trinidad is in the picture. tsk tsk tsk! hehehehe.

You think that when you reach a certain age, lets say 26 (hehehe), you already know what you want in life. That somehow you've already establish yourself in a position where you would say "This is where I want to be for the rest of my life". Hahahaha! Couldn't I be more clueless than ever. I am itching for a career shift. I don't know what type of career really, just something I would really enjoy and would really bring out the best in me... and hopefully a big plus is that it will 'put food on the table'.
I love to travel, who doesn't. I was hoping that work for me is something that requires me to travel. But I haven't seen any job postings saying "Looking for the next Phil Keoghan" or some travel show in Discovery Travel and Living Channel. Sigh... Or some kind of traveller critique and write a book about it. Be paid to stay in a hotel or resort to write about it. Well... so much for day dreaming...if you see one or work for a company that needs this type of requirements please do let me know! Would love to apply!
Well been travelling lately and I realize I do love travelling, why can't work be that way!

To be honest not in my wildest dream that I thought of someday I'll be visiting Beijing, China. But here I am! God has a really mysterious ways of setting up things.
One of the major reason why I got the chance to be here is 1) Tobal is working here and he has room to spare in his apartment, 2) Relatively I have a well paying job (which also trying to et every pennies worth of it if not more), and 3) Ofcourse God who is sooo giving, He provided me with the means to be here!

"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.

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.

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!
