Gloomy Weather

It's so gloomy outside... the breeze is cool yet something is missing.It seems like I'm back to my normal self again. I know I can manage to bounce back once again.... I hope I can do it ASAP

Happyness

Yup! My family is already here. And I am so happy. They arrived 9:30AM at Budget Terminal (Because in SG the best airlines are accomodated by Terminal 1,2, and 3... since Cebu Pacific is a budget airlines... they have to land in Budget Terminal!). I can't explain the feeling... I saw Paula and Mama first, then I saw Jae with Yuan! My heartbeat is so fast that I felt like tumbling down. I haven't uploaded the pictures form the camera, I'm so busy being a mom and a career woman for the past couple of days. I know its hard... and I have to get thru with it. Thank god that Mama is there to help and guide me all the way. Oh well, Jae supposed to bring his laptop so I can use it for the meantime since we have desktop PC at home. He might stay in the Philippines for sometime since he wasn't able to produce a certificate from his old employer... GMA Network. I'm still conviencing him to stay here in SG. Being far away with each other is quite tough. I know that I'm one strong person, especially with emotions. I know most of the time I'm a cry baby, but I know how to control them. I know when to be emotional and when to be strong....

Last Saturday, Jane and I met at Takashimaya for a dinner and coffee. We had chit chat and for the first time I treat her dinner at Teppanyaki in Food Republic. Not that fancy Japanesse resto, but the food is so good. Afterwhich we had coffee at our fave Toast Box! We had our fave Kopi C and some chocolate roll! Yum! We had some talk regarding our relationships and family. On how strong I am... I didn't know that people do notice how strong I am... leaving my 2 kids, especially the youngest.... on how I can be without sex being so far away with Jae... I can be strong, but I have one fear... and that is when my kids will throw in my face that I left them when they are young and let our relatives take care of them... Scary... ala ANAK the movie to! hayyy. I have to get ready.... Atleast I have good friends like AJ around.Who understand me.... I guess all the time! Nakakahiya na nga minsan, pero thats what friends are for? Someone who can understand and will be with you no matter what.

Later, Me and my hubby, Jae will be going around the city... just us. Believe it or not we haven't had our sexy time yet! Way to busy with work and kids. Thank god, I have one day leave last Monday and we watched Songs of the Sea at Sentosa. I've been here for sometime and I haven't watched it yet, and it was awesome! Wonderful show! Im so amazed. Must have to see in Sentosa! Besides from luge!

As of the moment, I have nothing to do. We are conducting the hand holding session and Im waiting for lunch! hehehe. I ordered black pepper chicken chops, and Im so craving for it last night... I wish I bought the cam with me and upload it on my computer here at work and post it here on my blog. Haven't check my friendster lately... hahah and facebook. Oh well, too busy with family. I have to take vitamins... have to be healthy.

Uber Excited

I’ve been so busy lately and there’s no Internet connection at home. Right now, I am here inside of the container vans in the shipyard, since we are conducting hand on training session. I’m getting frustrated with one of my colleagues here. She keeps on bombarding me with my ideas. And if it’s one of my brilliant ideas she will claim that she thought about it first! What a bitch! Thank God that my boss and the others knew that I’m the one who have that idea and the capacity to deliver it. Hahaha. And come to think of it, I have my office phone on my desk and she’s few meters away and whenever it rings she picks it up! Oh di ba, may balak pang maging secretary ko!!! Whahaha! Oh well, she’s ok but not as a colleague I guess.

Grace and I went to Ikea last Wednesday. Grace is my new housemate. We are colleagues way back HSBC days together with others, Nots, Joms, and Happy. We’re 5 in the house and since we just moved in last October 1, we are just beginning to settle. I haven’t arrange my room much so I guess I have to visit one of my oh so favourite store… Ikea. I wish we had this back home speciality store in the Philippines. The items here are so fabulous! EYE LOVE IT!

Side table SGD 19.90

Lampan LAMP 4.90

Bath Towel SGD4.90


Rug SGD7.00

I bought the Lack Red side table for only SGD19.90! And the white LAMPA lamp for only $4.90! Also curtains for SGD 15.00 and single bed fitted sheet for only SGD9.90, Red towel for SGD 4.90 and not to forget one uber cool rug for only SGD7.00! I’m planning to comeback to Ikea today! I need to get more towels and also my Yuan’s cutlery. The sofa’s there is sooo great and lovely extra ordinary designs!

My family will be coming this Sunday for a week vacation here in Singapore. I’m so excited. I can’t sleep well anymore. I just can’t wait to see them all. Leaving Philippines to work abroad is some sacrifice that parents make for the future of their kids. I’m not bragging about this, but I’m so proud of myself. I know, I’ve been crying everyday because I miss my baby Yuan and Paula so much. I just hope in the future, they wouldn’t blame me that I left them for me to work. I hope they will understand that I’m not with them all the time, for now… I just hope.

Jae, my husband will be arriving Philippines from Japan tomorrow, October 18. And then come here on 19 October, together with our kids and Mama will be joining them. I’m so excited and will be doing my laundry later… hopefully (after Ikea!)….

So whats new?

They’ve been busy in the office. Training for workers were all done and now I am preparing for UAT training. I’ve been so pissed of by my co trainer because walang ginawa kundi magpasikat. E she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Kaka inis minsan. Pero infairness she’s ok naman, kaso minsan she’s taking the credit that I suppose to have. Oh well, what can you do. Anywhere you go talagang may lalabas na ganyan ma-paper. Hahaha

I recently moved in to a new place with some of my HSBC colleagues, I was suppose to move to cho chu kang however moved in Yishun. It’s a good place. I like it better I guess. Instead of waking up 4:00AM, I wake up 4:30 and leave house still at 5:30AM though not that tough anymore. I can eat every evening good dinner and the area where I’m staying is near hawkers Singapore version of karinderya. They offer affordable food somehow, kesa mag Mc Dee 6-8SGD per meal, hawkers offer 1.50-3.50SGD per meal.

Nine days to go to see my Jae together with the whole pamilya Dimaano. My daughter will be back and I’ll my Yuan for the first time after 6 months. It has been a long journey this year. Meet new friends, and lost some. Lost job then bless me with better one. I know that the world is in crisis lately especially banks and I know the company that I’m with will not be affected somehow.

I had this great new phone! Its F480 and I’m so into it. It took me 2 weeks learning about the said phone and I’ve been so crazy about it. Yesterday, I went to M1 and sign up for a plan that I can get the sleek and sexy phone. I know a lot would say I should have got the Iphone instead, but it doesn’t have internal camera. So, if I would like to do a video call, I can’t see who am I talking to. And besides, this phone can insert 8GB, so more likely I can upload movies and songs also. Hopefully di na ako maiinip sa byahe. I travel 1 hour from my house to work, atleast di na 2 hours and I save a lot for taxi and train ride. Recently SG increased the transportation. Atleast from Yishun, I’m riding the bus in the interchange and take the shuttle.

Btw, quite strange that I like someone besides from my husband. DISCLAIMER: I’m not cheating and no plans to do it… I have this crush that works in the yard and every morning we see at the shuttle stop and he makes me smile. Eiww, sometimes can’t help it I’m really smiling. Eto pa nakakatawa, nag fafacial massage ako just for him not to notice that Im over smiling. One of this days I’ll take a picture of him. He’s really cute. And most of the time we seat shoulder to shoulder in the bus. Again, no plans to cheat, he just make me smile so much every morning.

Moving on...

I just finished packing up my stuff. I'll be moving out sa bahay ni Kuya! Haha, not PBB. Its just that I'll be moving to some other place. Sengkang is quite far and shuttle going to the office is no longer going to this route. I decided to move to some other place, Cho Chu Kang, which is one shuttle bus away from the office. I was hoping to move with AJ and Myk, though their house contract will end on December, and I can no longer bare waking up 4AM and take 2 MRTs and then take a taxi cab to work which cost me minimun SGD15.00 one way, Boon Lay MRT to my work place. I can take bus 257 however it takes 45mins to arrive to Keppel Shipyard. And I arrive Boon Lay MRT by 7:00AM, so if I take the bus, I'll be late by 15 mins. I would like to be permanent in this company, because its a big MNC here in Singapore and just think of it they even give up to 18th month pay. Kaso sobrang layo nya, and sobrang mahal ng transportation ko. I feel so sad because I love my housemates here in Sengkang. They've been with me through thick and thin. They even rescued me in Malaysia. Hahahay.... The laughter in this house will never be the same. This is my last blog in this house... kalungkot. Promise! For the past 2 days we've been crying... me and my room mate, and also Ate Michelle....

Nakaka miss. I feel sooo sad.
