August 27th, 2011Steel drums

Great weather today. I hope this continues as I badly miss sunshine. Heheh. Sunshine equals home. Aaaaack, home. Such a heavy word for me, because….ah, let’s not go ther now. :-)

Anyway, I was looking at stell drum from drumsofsteel.com and I was transported back home. You see, my brother used to work in a company that makes steel drums among many other steel products. So this makes me remember of home and the family I left. *sigh*

But all is looking well here, and I hope soon my family will be together once again. *praying earnestly*

For those considering to buy a projector for office and home use, let me share this link on Epson projectors. Please have a look.

Moving on. I’m just thankful for having nice friends who are always willing to help you. You know it’s hard to be starting anew in a new place and harder to do that when you’re all alone (I mean away from your family). Difficult. Tough. But I’m just thankful that I have friends who are patient and understanding. And I’m also happy that I’m forging new friendship with my officemates. Because sometimes, what you need is not someone to help you but someone to listen. And I’m just blessed. So once again, I have to thank the Lord for that.

August 19th, 20111st day

My first day in the job was crazily hectic. While I was trying to adjust and understand what everyone was doing, I had to do some things that were new to me. Not that that they are really difficult but maybe I was just trying so hard to know everything at so short a time.

I honestly didn’t expect it to be that way but I’m glad that I’ve met nice people who are willing to help and understand that I’m just the new girl in the team.

Oh And let me just mention that today is so much better in the workplace.

August 16th, 2011Thank you Lord

I have one wonderful news. I already have a job offer. Praise God! After eleven days in Oz, it’s really a huge blessing to be offered a job.

So this post is considered as my celebratory post. *smiles* Anyone of my friends who like those swisher sweet, please blow one for me. Or open a champagne for me please. ;-)

I’ve had my interview yesterday and today, someone called me up to say I got the job.

I’ve just signed the contract (actually, I just affixed my electronic signature to it). And I just want to mention that, I’m so happy that the recruitment process here is all online and all electronic since I imagine it would be very costly to have my documents printed.

And tomorrow, I’ll be reporting for work. Really, God is so good

August 12th, 2011ty

Something scared me today..hehe.

I really really thoughT I lost my account with a site that has some importance with me.

Bt I’m glad that after 4 tries, I was able to log in. *sigh* Really for a moment, I panicked and thought that I must have done something resulting to losing access. And I totally have no idea what. Good thing though that, it’s still okay.

August 6th, 2011Am here, but…

After eight or so hours flight, I’m already logged on to the Internet, here in Oz. :-) Thanks God for a safe flight and thanks God to friends who are willing to let me stay in their home for a while.

Now, however much I wanted to, I don’t think I can stay long online, even just to view monster hdmi cables for a minute, because  my battery’s about to get drained. Reason is, I don’t have the right plug on my laptop’s charger. Nor did I bring an adapter/converter (I’m just not aware that Oz have different sockets). 

Photobucket

Lookie, lookie, here’s how their sockets look like.

So I think, tomorrow, first thing I’d do is to look for an adapter/converter that will get my charger working and hence, allow me to be online 27/7. Lol

August 2nd, 2011Leaving Soon

At the moment, I feel like singing the song Leaving On A Jetplane  by John Denver. *smiles*

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go…. ‘Coz I’m leaving on a jetplane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again…

That song rings some truth for me —although my bags are not packed for finality, I’ve been packing and unpacking for the nth time already. But I’ll be leaving home soon and I really don’t know when I’ll be back, although I’m praying in three years time I can come and visit my folks. *fingers crossed* And I’m praying too that my family will have a  good future  in Oz. 

 

May 21st, 2011Morning task

I’ve been wanting to do some photo editing but I’m sidetracked to reading fenphedrine reviews instead. Hehe. Blame it on my OC self (that I cannot do anything seeing there’s still something that needs to be done).

So I spent the morning reading reviews. And at least I’m one-topic-enriched today. And then I can move on to doing other things…We’ll see. There’s my Lightroom thingy to be done. Haaaay, I miss doing Lightroom on my photos.

So anyway, there goes my morning. Ciao everyone. Be back later.

April 5th, 2011Waaaaa…

I could cry seeing the price of gasoline today.

Before I came home, I dropped by the gas station to have the car filled and I could really cry. Good thing I have my credit card, not a Visa reward card but just a regular Visa card, to pay for the full tank. Haaay, I miss the times when the cost per liter is about 34 pesos. Now it’s almost twice that amount. It seems that the price is increased every week. And at this rate, it looks like it would be reach to 68 in no time. Sigh. Gotta look for better ways to cut down our travel distance to minimum.

March 28th, 2011Can You Fill Me In?

My title reminds me of a song, and I can’t help but smile. Anyway, my post will not be about any song today but I have to say I’m smiling. There really are more reasons to smile, especially when out of the blue, you will suddenly be reminded about Mother’s Day.

Yah, yah, Mother’s Day. And I just had to ask my male officemate when it’s gonna be so I can get as much of fantastic Mothers Day ideas before it comes. It’s one of the items in my to-do list, to give my mother a blastin’ treat this Mother’s Day. So when is it gonna be? Probabaly May, my officemate said. Ahhh, gotta do some research now.
