Guh-reat news!

So finally..after ten days of working straight (full time/part time job) as in no rest..makakapag pahinga na ko ngayong Saturday..tapos trabaho ulet. Haay! Once a week na lang ako makakapahinga from now on..How sad.

One benefit of having two jobs is that I get to lose weight. What with all the walking (15mins) from my office to subway..going down several flights of stairs..riding the subway..walking again (10mins) towards my part time job..ayun..lumuwag ang mga damit ko. Hahaha! I love it! Tipid sa gym.

One other great news - MAY BAGO NA KONG APARTMENT!!!! Can I get a *woot *woot!?!!?

Disclaimer: Kulang pa bayad ko..good thing pumayag landlord that I pay the other amount for utilities next week once I get my pay AND loan from my company.

The new apartment has one bedroom with balcony extending towards the living room..has a kitchen, living room..basta maganda sha!! I'm so happy! The neighborhood look's nice..my landlord looks nice (cutie but he only speaks Chinese) and it's oh-so-frickin' near the Dongzhimen subway! As in just two cartwheels...okay maybe three cartwheels away.

So makakatipid na ako kase one subway going to my full time job, one subway again pauwi, then lakad na lang papunta sa aking part time job! Pucha, makakaipon na ko after neto!!!

God is good talaga...pramis. I'm sooooo hahahahaha-ppy!

When it rains, it definitely pours

I can hardly contain myself! Ang bait talaga ni Lord!

Remember the part time job I wrote about before - mobile tester? Well, I gave up that job so my agent can take my place. She needed the money more so she can save up and move to a nicer apartment.

Good karma talaga..Just this week, I got contacted by not only 1, but 3 ads I applied for:

1. Marketing researcher - I get $200 for giving them 5 of the biggest cellphone retailers in the Philippines. After that, they'll do all the work and I'll just serve as their middleman for future transactions with the 5 retailers. May share ako! Kewl! And I'm not required to go to their office! Buti na lang kase 2 subway trains ang sinasakyan ko and mega lakad ng 3 blocks to get there. Whew!

2. Editorial assistant - I'll be rendering 25hrs/week and per week din ang sweldo. All i hafta do is score or rank pictures per assigned cities. Online travel guide ang company na to so mejo madali ang trabaho..un nga lang lalabo mata ko kakatitig sa mga pictures. Tsaka yung CR sa building de-squat. Eww.. Kebs lang basta pera!

3. Part time cellphone seller - Pati agents ko dinamay ko dito. Interview pa lang next week. Every weekend ata to..pero with the two other part time jobs I have PLUS (not forgetting) my steady job, e di ko na keri patulan to.

Lahat ito para lang makalipat na ng apartment and makaipon! THank you, Lord!!!

God is good! All the time!

Have it all

Friggin' mid life crisis..how many times do I hafta experience that? Does it hafta happen only once? Or am I just labeling it as mid life crisis for lack of a better term for what I'm going through?

Looking at old pictures always makes me feel like shit. I know, I know one should look at the past as something for the books..experiences, lessons...some more crap. Today when I looked at my old pictures, it made my superficial self cringe because the old me is fresher, more idealistic and last but definitely the most important of all, had a friggin' fast metabolism. Yeah, I'm bitching about how I had the ability to gain and lose weight faster than I can eat a whole box of donuts in one sitting. How I miss my old thin self (and the donuts back home).

So, yeah I've gained a few pounds. I'm at that point where I started putting my old medium-sized clothes in boxes (not throwing them yet as I am always hoping I'll regain my ideal weight..*wishes). Sometimes it's a nice excuse to hit the malls and tiangges to buy clothes but right now I just feel icky and heavy. Just great!

But then my trusty old conscience reminds me to take a look around. I'm not at home, in fact I'm approximately 4 hours away by plane if you take PAL (pick other airlines and it will take longer). I have with me the person I love. I'm a few RMB/Pesos richer than I was back home. And I'm actually taking charge of my life. "What could I possible want more" is what I should ask myself then maybe a hard knock on the head should stop all this ranting.



Have it all - Jeremy Kay (Scrubs soundtrack)
Some days I feel like crying
It don't matter if it's rain or shine
I feel like my heart was broken
At least a million times

Some days I wake up dreaming
Feels like I've never even woke
I answer life's big questions
As if it's one big joke

Maybe it's too soon to be sure
But I really do believe that someday
We're gonna have it all
So I try to hard to keep the rhythm of a train
Rolling right along
When the ride gets rough you got to carry on
Carry on

I can't believe it! Switchfoot will be in Manila on the 10th of this month..and I'm here in Beijing.

Crap! Double crap!

Last Sunday my team and I finally had our first ever team building. We finally got our funds from Finance.

Anyway, we went to the Caribbean Lagoon at the (frickin' distant) Huairou District Beijing. Check out the pics here.

I'm so lazy to write here in Blogger. I prefer posting stuff in my multiply site nowadays.

Financial update: Still no savings. Need to transfer to a nicer bigger apartment, give money for my brother's tuition for the next semester, and save up for my Euro trip with Kaje. *fingers crossed
