And I say Adios with a big grin. Finally the nightmare will be over soon. Goodbye annoying creatures. I hope decent housemates will be coming in June/July. And I finally wont have the tuyo smell in the house. In case we manage to get all female housemates, whew I can walk around the house again without wearing hmm hmm haha like what I used to back in my home in Manila. Next thing is I hope nobody subscribes to TFC or does TV marathon day and night. And that would be a house that I'll be looking forward to come home to. Well yeah there's no home concept for OFW, it's just a house and will always be. The heck, as long as my own room is cozy, I don't give a d*mn. :p
Fast
Funny how this people in the office makes 'loko' to me. 'Whew Leslie is fast', I've heard several times from my teammates. The good thing I or we inherited from service management in my previous company is the 'think fast, work fast' syndrome. Hindi pwedeng kukupad-kupad. Sure this month's going quite fast too. Fast because I have so much work. I don't have much time to think. Good logic, the busier you are, the less time you have, the less you think, the less you worry. Makes sense right?
Hello NUS
I finally submitted my credentials for assessment to NUS (Natl Univ of SG). Well actually it's just a short 1-month course, not a long-term MBA thing. Just last May 15, I got the notice that I am in! :p Excited to be a student again! but of course I'm again killing myself cause this is also the most crucial/ busiest time of the project. I'll be juggling my time like crazy. I still have some worries on it, I havent enrolled yet, maybe next week I really have to finalize all. For the heck of just trying a top univ in Asia, cge lng. :)
Leisure Classes
Last Sat is my last guzheng class. Unfortunately I didnt learn as much because I dont have something to practice at home. That ancient wooden instrument would cost me a 800-1k sgd, which I think is too much for an absurd hobby? :p Another thing I'm sad I didnt manage to take a picture while playing it inside the class. My classmates are a young girl probably 10years old, a matrona, a strange-dressing Shanghaiese woman with so much burloloy. I dont have a prospect to give me a cam shot, nahiya ako :p. Just recently I can hear the same familiar sounds of guzheng played from a neighbor's house, gusto ko ng igate-crash para manghiram hehe.
I'm also glad that probably because of my somewhat eager and strange passion for attending these classes, I have influenced two close friends to take leisure classes. One friend took a French course, and my kumare signed up for yoga. See I'm a good influence? :p Thanks to my housemate who passed on this passion to me, and now I am doing the same passing the passion to a few others.
Uwi Syndrome
Yes I do miss home. I wanna go home and have a long vacation. I wanna go to places I havent been to, Circles, Embassy, etc. Thought it seems like circumstances are giving me reasons to go home frequently end of this year. (which I'm not sure is a good thing or not, cause I'll be overspending on air tickets and pasalubong!) Aside from July, I already booked one for my pamangkin's binyag on Sept. Another wedding is coming up on Oct which I havent booked yet. Whew, I sometimes feel like asking 'magtatampo ka ba kung ndi kita uuwian, kawalan ba kung wala ako sa okasyon?' hihi. Honestly I'm not really used to the idea of going home too frequent for just mere 'occasions'. Probably I'm not really a party person.
5th Year as Slave
May 15 (or is it 16, cant remember the exact date) marks my 5 year anniv as a corporate slave, an IT slave to be exact. 5 years ago, it was my first day at work, which is actually a teambuilding/offsite event in Cebu. I was like a lost soul (bagong salta), uto-uto, and partly amazed, 'wow this company is so galante'. Maribago Bluewaters Resort, that night the newhires were supposed to perform, and I was asked to cross-dress as a waiter. :p I got a nice SourceOne traveller's bag that I still get to use sometimes. Hmm those were the days. And I hope the 5 years didnt get to add any age marks on my face, sheesh I dont want stress anymore. 5 seems to be a heavy number. People usually ask you how do you see yourself 5 years from now. In college I did answer 'housewife!', and people think I'm crazy hehe. Who says people with good grades cant have a simple life?! In job interviews, I change my answer to 'manager'. Haha looking back, the question itself is silly, you'll never get to plan your life too ahead, too concrete. But somehow you should manage to have a goal that inspires you, that's it. The only constant thing in life is change.
So how I celebrated this 5 years? Alone lang. I tried a new dish, my first time to do salads. :) Be my guest, let's eat.
