Lucky Me!

I couldnt believe when I heard the news that Jay Chow is coming over to Singapore!

In on of my previous blogs, I just posted I hope to see Jay Chow after watching Jolin's concert. And now, he's really coming here!

Jay Chow has a new movie 'Secrets' which will be aired on Aug 8, it's also his first director piece. I started to know him 2or3 years backwith his nice songs. He's very talented in both singing and composing, he has his own style. He also appeared in 'Curse of the Golden Flower'. Okay he's not good-looking actually, but who cares I just simply admire him! :)

So I book myself 2 movie tickets to avail their promo (hehe tska na ako mangungulit kung knino magpasama). One is to have a pass for the tea party, another for the limited edition CD. Haha it's my first timeto do this, to be a fan so-to-speak. Who cares (again), what happens in SG stays in SG. :) I think I have to dress up and doll up for the tea party,as if he'll notice me?!!! I'm so exciteddddd :p

This year is really a good and lucky year for me. I was never lucky, I usually feel that most of the good things that I get are those I really really work so hard for, madalas 'pahirapan' nga eh. Walang 'hulog ng langit'. Somehow this year (to be exact, starting Dec of last year), my luck seems to finally jive with me. A few encounters I can recall:

1) My ex-officemate resigned because I referred her to a company which had contacted me for interview. Probably it was because of her courage that got all of us thinking to seek greener pastures. :)

2) My sister got pregnant when I lend her a figurine of a baby with a thingie hanging in front. :) She was hoping to get pregnant after she got wed last May. Some chinese practices daw yun maglagay ng ganyan. Good that someone gave me a similar figurine many years ago. I lent her the figurine end of Dec and she got back with good news that she's pregnant just after 2 weeks. She's expecting a baby boy this September. And I should be expecting a nice 'ampao'! :p I'm her lucky charm hehe.

3) I got myself in one of the wonders of the world - climbing Great Wall in the coldest of days.

4) I got an offer to work in Singapore after 2 phone interviews. I actually thought they won't call me anymore because I was not contactable mid-December (I went to China). Anyway, they paid for my roundtrip airfare and initial 2 week's stay in a hotel. For some good reasons that I dont know, the salary I'm receiving is slightly higher than that stated in the offer letter. :))

5) After the 2nd week, I had no where to stay because the house I'll be moving to will only be available on my 4th week. A friend of mine was going to Manila and offered to let me stay in her room while she was away. That solves my 3rd week. (perfect timing!)

6) Adjustment at work has been easier with Pinoy officemates around. I learned a lot of technical things from them. If it werent for them, bka umuwi na ako. :) They are also my lunchmates and gimik pals. Aside from them, I have HS friends here, college friend, ex-teammates. Thank God life hasn't been lonely.

7) I was able to watch Jolin's concert

8) Buying several electronic stuff in a month - my first laptop and a TV. Yet I still have enough to spend, save and fly back. Magaling ako magbudget hehe.

9) My ex-employer rolled out tax refund for resignees, together with my last pay, I was able to claim a crisp amount. :)

10) I will soon be able to see Jay Chow in person :)

Grabe seems like I'm getting what I wish for, tumaya kaya ako ng lotto? :)

P.S. I still have one wish na dati ko pang gusto. I thought I could sense some enlightenment during my vacation, but to no avail. :( Probably I set the wrong expectations, wrong goal, wrong wish. Sa bagay, I have crazy wishes at times hehe. Still, crossing my fingers.. God's willing.

P.P.S. Sheesh.. sometimes I get scared, sana tumagal pa ang swerte ko.
