Working Gurl...

Wow, can't believe I haven't posted for a month. I'm still here. Just got busy with work. Yay. I have been working for Y for a month now, been good, the job is not rocket science hard. I am liking it. Also, got another part-time job at the B, and I started last Thursday. I can keep both jobs since their hours are different. I was praying about it and I got it. Thank GOD.

Will start saving for our trip back in the Philippines and helping out NG with the expenses here at home. I bought groceries last Saturday, that felt good. :)

Whenever I'm online, I can be found on Facebook or on Twitter. I haven't abandoned this blog. My online time just decreased a bit. I am not complaining though. Work = Cash. I'm all for cash baby.

Have a good one. God bless.

Grateful Me...

My belated birthday gifty from Mrs. Cook!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE pens!!!

Last weekend, MajorDad gave me 3 boxes [200 packets per box] of Splenda and more coffee. I still have coffee from the one he gave me last November. I don't know why he gave me multiple boxes of Splenda BUT I am grateful. I'm the only one who drinks coffee here at home. He also gave me Honey Nut Cheerios and Apple Juice. I have a generous father in-law. :)

I got the part-time job that I applied for last week. Interviewed last Monday, went back on Tuesday for orientation and I will start on Wednesday. My working hours will be from 6am to 12nn. NG said this is a good start since I've no work experience and background in this country. I have to establish a job history then I can find for a full-time job. I'm happy to have a job, even if it's a part-time job, for now.

Last Monday, NG and I went to the Card Factory Outlet, that is my happy place. In time, I see myself spending more than 10 minutes in that place. Hee. So many cards, so little time. I love greeting cards!!!

Anyhoo, that's about it for now, will play some poker for now. Have a good weekend. God bless.

Count Me In...

My employment authorization card finally arrived last week. I have updated all my job applications from a while back. So far, I've gotten replies that say they're reviewing my application, some say the position was already filled but they will keep my file for future job opportunities, some just don't reply or haven't gotten around to it. My guess is due to numerous job applicants.

One called me last Wednesday and wanted to interview me for today. Last time I've been interviewed for a job was back in 1996-97 for my first job. I'm quite nervous but not like back when in the day. I guess, getting older does add.

Whether I get the job or not, I know, it'll be another experience to be added in my work life. Wish me luck. Better yet, say a little prayer for me. That would be appreciated. Have a good week ahead. :)

And Here I Blog Again...

I'm a bad blogger and I know it. I'm not like some people who can blog on a regular basis. I tried doing that before but it didn't work out so well. And I think, I found an answer to quick-blogging without having to worry that you've come up with 500 characters or less. Twitter to the rescue. I've have the site bookmarked since last year but never found the urge to sign up. I finally did. And I see myself updating my twitter account more than once a day. HAH! So, if you're on twitter, I'm on it too. :)

Last Friday, my cousin in-law from Jersey called me and we chatted for an hour or so. She mentioned a site that her kids are following, so, I checked it out and needless to say, I spent my weekend watching Happy Slip. My favorite were vids of her visit to the Philippines. It made me miss my family and friends more. The director/actor/writer of the vids explains 'What is a happy slip?'
While growing up, my mom was always quick to remind me to wear a half slip with my dresses or skirts. She would say "Be sure to wear your hap eslip!!". So I grew up thinking the term was always "happy slip", until I was corrected by classmates who asked me if I had a sad slip as well.

I'm pretty sure you are in one or more [like myself] of those network sites. I have my relatives here in the USA on my Facebook. I have my favorite musicians on my Myspace. I have my photos on my Multiply. I have my high school and grade school friends on my Friendster. Is that too much networking or what? Whatever. I have time for those things...for now.

It's the third month of 2009, how time flies FAST!!! In two months and a few weeks, it'll be my first year here in Omaha. Imagine that. I remember back in the day, I kept telling NG I don't think I'll make it out here but he kept saying, "you will, just a matter of time..." and now, I am here. Good sigh.

I think, winter is almost over. Yay. Can't wait winter to be over. I've experienced snow and negative temperatures, let's bring the above 50 degrees temps now. I need to sweat. :)

Have a good one. God bless.

Blackout...

I asked my dear mother to get me this dvd. Jomari was in that show. Enough reason to have it, yes? At least, for me. I miss Bench/Herbench.
