Goodbye Blogger!

From now on, I will no longer be using my blogger account. I now have a new home in cyberspace, and it's http://www.multiply.com/jeninumerable. Please update your links and see you there!

I just got home today after hearing mass in a nearby church here and driving Ayeen to work. It's Palm Sunday today. Other than that, nothing much has happened here in old Mesquite.

Wake up. Drive my sister to work. Go home. Check my mail. Eat lunch. Pick-up. Dinner. Watch tv. Sleep.

Oh by the way, my Mom has just quit work. And my Dad too (which is another story). Now the pressure is on me to NOT quit my job.

I'm staring work on April 9, that's a Monday. It's a 25-mile drive from my house, plus the traffic, so I would probably be driving for an hour on the freeway.

(to be continued)

Yee-Ha!

It's almost 7pm here in Texas, but I just had my second full meal of the day. I missed lunch this morning because of a job interview that started at 10am, and ended at 2pm. Good thing I didn't get any migraines today.

Anyway, I'm so happy that I already got an offer from Pepsi! The HR Manager there was also from Kraft, and get this, the Production Manager is a Filipino! Small world! Actually, I was debating in my mind whether he's Mexican or Asian, because he looked kinda generic to me. But then he told me at the end of my interview with him, "I guess you knew I'm from the Philippines". :-)

I just hope everything works out with my new job. I'm pretty excited and scared at the same time, because this is going to be my first job here in the U.S. I'm still getting used to the culture here but hopefully, everything will work out.

Hola

YES. I am now officially a Goji Gurl, as my sister puts it. Do not ask me what Goji is, all I know is that it's this "miracle" juice that came from the Himalayan mountains, and that it CAN cure almost all illnesses. Hah! Well, I just have to wait and see. Somehow I've just gotten tired of going back to my doctors and buying my medicines so I decided to give this one a try. Masarap naman siya eh. Hehe. Let's just hope it works. :-)

Anyway, I am so sorry to my Berks friends for not yet posting our Christmas Party photos. I just haven't gotten around to doing that yet. Promise, next week siguro.

Speaking of work, I absolutely need to finish my year-end assessment this week!!! That is, once I finish all my other projects this week! Argh. Which means, I gotta go and work now!

In a bleak mood

I was supposed to have a new post yesterday, but my PC just suddenly died in the middle of my typing. Darn. Anyway, I'm still nursing a cold-cum-cough, and my body is SO aching to go back to bed everytime I wake up in the morning. So much for the new year.

Oh, and has anyone noticed my bad hair day today? My hair is just screaming for a major makeover. I hope a salon owner gets to read this blog and grants me one of those total transformations on "Ambush Makeover". :-) That would be just swell.

Anyway, so much to look forward to this year. 2006 was definitely not my year, but I learned a lot. And I know things can only get better this time around. :-)

Excited for Christmas

For my friends who are still thinking what to give me this Christmas (or before I leave for the States :-)), I would be very happy to receive the ff. gifts (kapal!):

- Coty Airspun Transluscent Loose Powder
- Dupe Flip-flops in Chocolate Brown (size7/8) – mura lang ‘to, promise!
- A Team Manila shirt (or any shirt that says “Manila”, “Filipina”, etc…You get the point right?)
- A cute native bag (in bright colors)
- CD of Jars of Clay, Switchfoot, Hillsong, Plumb
- Powerbooks GC
- SPA GC for body massage

Thanks in advance! But really, any gift would do. Haha.

Merry Christmas!

I got a text message from my Mom today saying that my Ate’s student visa application has just been approved. I’m quite happy, because my sister has been dreaming about this for such a long time.

Though, I don’t know if I’m gonna be sad or happy with the news, because that would also mean that we would be finally migrating to the US to be with my sister.

Some thoughts that ran through my head as I was thinking about my family’s decision of leaving the country:

- My boss would definitely be surprised when I resign from my job, but I’m sure he can manage…

- I’m going to miss all my friends (high school, office, college). I just wish I was able to spend more time with my HS friends these past years (instead of devoting my entire social life to my bf then, who left ME for his job!). Oh well…

- What actually worries me about living there is my health bills, because here in the Phils I'm already comfortable with my ophthalmologist, neurologist, etc. And since I have insurance, I don't pay as much.

Well, wish me luck. The thought of starting a new life in a new country also seems a bit exciting to me. I just hope everything works out for me and my family. :-)
