Lava

Recently I heard from Lava Thapa, my Nepali classmate in ISS. He asked me for our other classmates' emails. He started the ball rolling again. Sya mn to niemail nga since nanguli daw mi to our respective countries, la na mi contact. Didto daw sa ISS, everyday we say hi and hello to each other.

God bless you and your family, Lava. I might make it to Nepal one of these days. We'll see about that. Keep in touch!!

New Year 2010

Last New Year 2009, I was looking forward to a new city and a new work. I was up for work then at SEDP Inc. in Legazpi City. True enough I went but I only lasted four months. I went home, stayed for a while in Cebu then came back to PP in October.

Now I'm still looking for a better job. I have payables man gud. But if la koy makit-an then I'll stay with Western. Basin naa diay moabot some time soon. I keep the faith. God bless us more in the New Year...

Survived It

I survived my 1st Christmas in Cambodia. This week we were so busy --Monday 21/12 night pa lang daan, 11pm na mi uli from our Mktng Team mtng. Nadugay due to the printing of envelopes for our GK show solicitation. Wed 23/12 Practice for our presentation for the Christmas Party. Then Christmas Eve, 24/12 we had a party in school. After the party, my sister and I spent the night at our friends' new place in St 59. Puyat tawn mi. Christmas Day 25/12 I went to Mass at St Joseph's Church at 10am. Spent the rest of the day preparing our attire for the presentation. When evening came it was party time! But the party started late...8pm na nagdinner so natapos mga 10pm. But I think overall, the celebrations went well. I'm looking forward to my New Year's celebrations. God bless!!!

Super Freakonomics

Yuka gave me a copy of Super Freakonomics when she came to visit me two weeks ago. I like reading it but it made me realize that since I don't teach economics anymore, it doesn't have much of an incentive. Good luck, Doki!

Sentiments

The other night I talked to Ate Jing abt old sentiments back home. Seems these problems would haunt me forever. It's about the house in Cebu again and my restless phase where I wasted a lot of money in Sg.

She emailed all my siblings and asked them to air out all other sentiments too. Dapat man gud mi magmove on na. Kay dugay na gud to.

I think about Bantil in all these and I realized that cguro she's like that coz she's been out of a job since 2005. Pila gud to iya sweldo in Taiwan per month. Ipray n lng daw sya namo.

Basta, Ginoo nay mahibaw nato tanan. Merry Christmas!!

Christmas 2009

I'm gonna spend Christmas this year in Cambodia. Last year ta to but niuli man ko. Start na of the parties here this pm at the SAMAPI/Philippine Embassy Christmas at 430pm. Then next week nana pud parties to attend. Ate Jing and I went to buy our attire for the party last Thursday, aliw kaau. This will be my 3rd Christmas in a foreign country. I'm gonna miss home but this is also an opportunity to bond with Pinoy friends here. Merry Christmas everyone!!

Marathon

I went to Siem Reap over the weekend to watch the Angkor Wat International Half Marathon (AWHM). It is the 14th installment this year and draws quite a number of people. I went with my good friend Yuka Kato who's visiting me from SG.

My friend and former colleague Nick ran for his org, Globalteer. He did it in 1 hr and 20 mins and 12 sec. I talked to him for about 10mins after the run then Yuka and I went back downtown and got ready to go back to PP. Weekend spent quite well.

That was the first time I watched a marathon. Lingaw man diay. I have a Dutch friend who runs but I never really watched his runs, even once. The AWHM has a 3K Fun Run category. If I'd still be here in Cambodia by next year, I wanna try it. There were students from ISPP running this year with their teachers. That was really nice...
