pasaway adventures
Kasalukuyan akong nasa liparang panghimpapawid ng banyagang bansang ito. Uuwi ako sa aking mahal na bayan! Yipeeee! Hindi ako papasok bukas. Nagpaalam ba ko? Hindi. Bakit kailangan pang magpaalam kung hindi rin naman papayagan?! Pilosopo na kung pilosopo. Pero kailangan kong umuwi. Kasi gusto ko! Bwahahaha. Huling linggo ko na naman sa kumpanyang yun sa isang linggo. Kaya wala na talaga kong pakialam. Sana lang pinayagan na lang nila ko umalis para mas matagal pa ko sa Pinas. Pero okay na rin ang apat na araw na pagtakas na 'to, kaysa naman wala.
Magkikita pa kami sandali ni Mama sa liparang panghimpapawid sa Maynila. Pupunta kasi sya sa Estados Unidos sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon. Sana mag-abot pa kami. Weeee! Excited na ko!
Mabuhay ang mga pasaway! Babay! :-)

Breaking News!!!
Well, at least for me.
Why? Because... (drum roll please) The long wait is finally over!!! More than three weeks of pleading and hoping and dying of waiting to get into that MNC. And I did it! I'm in!!! OMG!!! I'm soooo happy! Things are turning up great lately. Shiyettttt! From almost giving up on this job and being faced with the reality of going home if I don't find a job in a month, now I'm here and I actually survived this ordeal! Oh my gosh, man! I'm sooo proud of myself. Haha sorry to sound boastful.But if you know the SHIT I've been through since June, you'll be jumping for joy too. My mom's screaming when I relayed the good news and she couldn't believe it. She really prayed hard for this.And I've become so religious as well. I'm just really so grateful. All those sleepless nights and puffy-eyed mornings are paying off. Last month I actually thought it was already the end of this plan. But now, it seems like it's only the beginning. I really hope so.
Wheeewww. What a relief. No words can express my happiness right now. Thank you again God! I owe you BIG time! :-)
love, jenie

i'm so happeee with a capital E!
Three main reasons why this Saturday rocked:
3) Transformers poster
Mababaw pero sobrang inlababo pa rin ako sa pelikulang 'to! The poster's so big and the printing's so clear and it's on matte paper. Alavet! I usually have a hard time shopping for clothes here, but I think this is one of my best buys for myself so far. Haha!
2) Watching Urbandub for the first time!
I can't believe I never watched them in the Philippines! They're here in SG for the Baybeats Festival, and man, I really had a blast watching them live! I kept hooting whenever they say they're from the Philippines and I screamed like crazy after every song. I was really so damn proud to be Pinoy! Ang galing nila! Crush ko na yung drummer kahit di ko pa nakikita mukha nya haha! Idol! I have this deepest desire to learn how to play drums lately. Tapos nung marinig ko sila kanina, shyet nakaka-inspire!
Okay na sana lahat, but of all the days, I didn't bring my camera! Ugghhh. I brought it waiting for Kjwan to play last Friday night but we were late. Buti bumawi kasi ang ganda ng timing namin, and caught all of Urbandub's songs.
Anyway, I was still so high after they played so I bought a shirt from the booth to remember them by. :)
1) Tatoff's EPEC application is APPROVED!
For those who don't know, EPEC stands for Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate. A candidate has to pass certain educational and employment requirements to Ministry of Manpower Singapore. Once approved, the person is entitled to stay in Singapore to look for a job even for as long as one year. It's a big thing coz most jobhunters have to go out of the country after a month to extend their Visit Pass.
So there, now that he has an EPEC, it will be easier for him to look for a job without worrying about the length of stay. Of course, it's still better to find a job soon to prevent spending too much on lodging and other expenses. If I've known about this option earlier, then maybe he's already here now. But anyway, everything has a reason. I'm just so happy coz at least we're a step closer! We've prayed so hard for this. Nabibingi na ata mga santo sa mga nobena ko gabi-gabi. Hehe. I'm really so excited! Malapit na kaming magkasama dito! Weeee! I really hope and pray this works out for us... Matinding lungkot rin ang naranasan namin. Sana naman may kapalit na maganda. Sniff sniff.
Next plea to all the saints: help him find a good-paying job once he moves here! At ako na rin! Bwahaha!
I'm so happeeeee! Thank you, God! :-)
love, jenie

nakakaThai-kot
Watched my first Thai horror film last night. "Alone" is about Siamese twins who decided to get separated when they were teenagers, causing the death of the other one. Or so we thought. Loved the twist in the end.
Anyway, I shrieked twice and my friends kept laughing at me. I just don't feel the need to control my emotions. My imagination runs will when I watch these films and I'm just too engrossed in every scene. Besides, it's fun dealing with those shallow fears from time to time. The funny thing is, I shouted "Ay, kalabaw!" in one of those heart-attack-causing scenes. I'm sure no one understood me anyway. I guess I can't help let the real bakya-Jenie come out when I'm scared shitless. Wag nang pa-ingles ingles no! Dumudugo na ilong ko! Haha! :-)
