First job here in the US...

Time flies! I have been so busy these days with my work for more than a month. Yeah, I got lucky or shall I say my two months of mad job searching paid off. Thanks God, I was given an opportunity to work as an office/administrative assistant in a Property Management business here in New Jersey. Actually, my job is kind of related to my previous work experience in the Philippines but even though, I still need to adjust a lot from the culture and work environment, I need to put extra effort to be a better fit. Oh one more thing the bus commute (tiring yet exciting not to mention saving :p)! I don't drive yet (currently have my learner's permit) and my husband's work is on the opposite direction. Needless to say I need to take the bus. I was nervous and a bit shy on my first ride adventure. I don't have so much confidence talking to other passengers nor to the driver and ask about my bus stop instead I used my phone GPS/Map the entire ride to know my destination and it worked just fine. The second day of course was a lot better, I needed not to use my Phone GPS at this time and just pay attention to bus voice direction guidance.

From the day I started working, my daily routine has changed significantly. I barely have time to spend with my laptop and talk to my friends. Early in the morning, my alarm clock is my friend, it reminds me to rise up and shine no matter how sleepyhead I am coz I shoulda leave the house at 7am and catch the bus. After a busy day at work, when I arrived home "ako'y isang ulirang maybahay" :P I prep foods for our dinner, well my husband sometimes does, whoever comes first starts cooking ;).

Now here comes the weekend, Yay! the days that I love and long for always. It's the time I recharge my exhausted mind and body, and be a baby to my husband :D.....At the end of day, I'm grateful and couldn't ask for more. I don't have right nor reasons to complain  because I believe, if you do...there's always down there 6 feet below the ground who would love to swap anytime lol! hahaha! so  better yet be happy and spread positive vibes!

Happy Weekend!
