There are just things money cant buy


Bought a car a few days ago. I havent used it because I still have the rent a car provided by the company.
It was a risky move since I just been here for two months. Un-secured and not yet permanent in the work. But cars are necessity here. Hindi pang porma lang or para masabi lang..

America is a land of big promises.
You get big bucks if you work hard. Bawal ang tamad.
Since I came here, its a mental torture. I am not an experienced engineer and it a big challenge for me to work like a true process engineer. Hndi lang nose-bleed kung hndi internal hemmorhage. People expect a lot from you and all eyes are on me.
I thought Im doing ok but still not enough. whheeew..
I'm used of people telling me what to do... waa darn.. shoulda, wouda, couda...
study more..

Its more than a week that Ive been staying with my house-mate art.
Well, got no problem with although he got this attitude that gets into you. Scruciatingly boastful and arrogant. I have to use with him. Got no place to stay for at least 6 months. Like he said, I still have no credit history (no credit card with enough Fico or credit points) and I have no choice but to share his rent expenses while I build my credit.


Feeling ko nga just like Dorothy said in Jerry Maguire movie (with tom cruise)- just watched this last night on dvd. Im a 25 years old but trapped in a 30 year old body. Im maturing more and growing faster. Everything is demanding. From work to family to friends to everything. I even forgot when was the last time I stopped and breathe. Really stopped and breathe...

World is becoming complex for me. And I am yet hopefully half of my lifetime.

I have money (not enough savings yet).. but there are things that money cant buy.

freeway



yahooo... finally i had the guts to take the freeway this morning.
Im so hesitant in taking the non-stop road going to office. Well i have good reasons, im not used driving automatic and i dont have CA license yet.
we were travelling an average of 60 mph equiv more a hundred kph.. (fast but not furious enough)

me and ate chie (my hotel-mate) went shopping yesterday after our remittance transaction in a pinoy grocery..yes believe it or not, i give money sa pinas... ganyan ako kabait hehehe (conceited nga lang)

anyway we went malling at ontario mills. its crazy it took us two separate nights to navigate the entire mall. its huge.. the shops are so large that each accomodates i think 50 simulataneous shoppers conveniently strolling around. i saw a sale in tommy hilfiger so i grab one.. a 25$ shirt to 7$ shirt.. not bad! hehehe

after killing time in the mall we went home and called pinas. Just to know that my mom has highblood and went to hospital for a check-up and ECG.. she's overweight and have history. She's fine though. She needs some pills to lower and regulate her BP. I was anxious, hope she get well and returns to normal physical health. She's a supermom and i really love her. Miss her so much.

ok carry on before tears run down.. i dont wanna be cry baby here in the office.

I maybe have an apartment! its in verano apartment in rancho cucamonga, CA. see picture above! cool! i have apartment-mate though! ok na rin! thanks to kuya art..
