My 4th day in US and 2nd Day at Work

Commercial muna... Shown below is last sunday's pix from the house blessing of our former co-engrs in the Phils. that got hired in US. Their house was huge and expensive, I may say.. more that a million dollars..hehehe. Pauwi na kami nito. Mga 6:45PM pero as you can see in the background, maliwanag pa. Actually, till 8pm maliwanag pa dito... Galing noh?!



This is one happy event that happened in my past for days.

But truly.... Waah. I am so tired. Time flies so quickly yet so complicated. But as what I have expected, this really gonna be tough. Ang daming dapat gawin. I am having a hard time catching up on details. But I can say that I am enjoying my work now. Things are more techinical yet challenging for me. This is my break to show my best and I'll work hard for it.Promise!!!

Anyway, on my 1st day, I got to meet my counterparts on my other projects. They are nice yet so kulit. My counterparts on my new project are almost all pilipino. We are 5/7 (2 from FAB/SORT, 3 from Product Engineering, 1 Chinese Test Engineer and an Irish Manager). So far everything is working right for us except for the part that we are working on now.

I had my lunch with the engrs from the Phils in ALing Elenas Eatery. Expensive if converted sa Peso pero ok na din compared sa ibang Kainan. ALso got my badge so I can have an access in the laboratories and testfloor.

Got home at 7pm and finally updated my blog.

2nd Day at Work
Got my smocks (garment that needs to be worn inside the testfloor).
Met my previous manager who got promoted and moved to another area. Gave him my pasalubong-dried mangoes and flattop choclit for his kids. Gave him a hug. He's one of the best manager I had (although I didn't report directly to him). I missed working with him. He cares and motivates his people well.
Met my hubby's friend from marketing. She went to my cube to get her pasalubong coz I emailed her that I don't know how to go to her building. It's quite far from the building I am staying. She's so beautiful. A typical Indian beauty yet modern. Kakapanganak lang nya but she looks slim and young. (Hehehe. lumabas na naman ang guy inside me.)
Also searched in the testfloor for the availability of an oscilloscope pero wala. hihiram na lang kami sa lab for tomorrow's activity.
Got 2 meetings for this day on my current project-morning 11am and afternoon430-6pm. Really busy day. I was not able to attend my other mtg for my other projects. Hay...

Badtrip pa yung laptop ko. I can't connect to the printer here as well as to the tester for file transfer. Bumabagal tuloy trabaho ko. Kainis talaga. Need help na siguro from MIS here. Ang gulo ng MIS namin sa pinas eh.

Tapos, kaninang lunch, I was supposed to change my TC in the bank but forgot to bring my passport. So bad of me. Hehehe. Kaya eat na lang kami sa IN-AND-OUT. I really love their fries kaso diko naubos. Pero ok lang at least may kinain ako for dinner today.

Ngayon...tama na ito.. 1030pm na dito pero tatapusin ko lang ibang work para wala akong ma-miss bukas. Chao..

Mga Di ko Na-Blog for the last 2 weeks...

Sorry..if almost 2 weeks walang update ang blog ko ..been quite busy lang talaga ..preparing for my flight to US and spending quality time with my family and my ever loving hubby.

I'll just give u a glimpse of what happened for the last 2 weeks. Kelan nga ba ko nag-stop? Mag-a-update nako ngayon coz i know i'll be busy on the succeeding days... darating na kasi yung 1st Silicon namin. All those in semicon..might understand what I am saying. Anyway... so from that day we had bowling... diko na alam nangyari..joke lang. I can't remember what happened from monday to wednesday.

Thursday

----------

2. (he checked my application and saw that i've been to US before). do u have your old passport?
me: yes, it's here ( and gave it to him).

3. what are you going to there?
me: i'll be on training.

My Longest Saturday-August 27,2005

Woke up at 2:15am to heat water for our bath. tried to slip again. Got up at 2:40am. Ginising ko na si ariel. We took a bath. Left our apartment at 3:15pm to go to Pasig. Got there at 4:15am. I just changed my "sandwich". Kainis, 3rd ko pa lang. Hassle talaga. 4:30am kami umalis to airport with my family-all of them.Hahaha, parang immigrant ako noh. Pero ok lang,saya naman eh. Got in NAIA at 5:05am. Plan is to just have my luggage checked-in. Grabe, 3 hours before, ang haba na ng pila. Di pa start ng checking-in ng flight namin. Served at 6am. Badtrip, the inspector is looking for my other things including my hand-carry bags. I needed to go out with those heavy luggage to get my other things. Buti na lang, sabi nya, i don't need to fall in line again.
I got my things, paalam na din sa family. Wala ng iyakan, kasi babalik naman ako eh. 3 months lang namna eh. Siempre, lungkot kami pero di na need to cry. Got a cheek and forehead kiss form my veve.

So ganun ulit, XRAY ng gamit tapos, singit nako sa line. Buti mabait naman yung inspector-girl sya. Sya din pala nag-inspect sakin nung 2001 na alis ko. Meant for each other daw kami. Hahaha.

Di naman ako nahirapan sa check-in ng luggage. So pila na sa immigration for the PHP550 terminal fee. Diretso nako sa gate ko. I was looking for a CR pero wala ako makita. Papunta sa Gate, may XRAY/inspection then dun mismo sa waiting area for boarding,meron din. Mali ko or mali nila, I needed to change " diaper". Tapos nako ng inspection and I needed to go to the restroom to change. Lalabas daw ako then I need to undergo inspection again. What?! Pero wala akong magawa, ok lang, security reason din kasi eh. So ganun nga, tas intay nako for boarding 10mins lang ata tas nag-board na kami. Tagal lang talaga kanina sa check-in counter.Nanibago talaga ako. Before kasi, business class kami, so maikli lang pila then pwede ka na rest sa lounge. Sarap buhay, may libre na bfast dun.

Got in the seat-37J , left side facing the pilot. Sandwich ako between two filipina. Sa right ko is a US- Chicago resident for 27 years. Punta lang sa pinas for the 2nd time to attend a wedding where she is a sponsor. Yung nasa right ko is a 27 y.o.lady civilly married to an american living in Dallas. 1st time nya and she is somekinda scared. Pareho silang Minneapolis and point of entry but got different flight number. Sayang, sana masasamahan nung ale yung babae- I forgot their names.

The bfast was good. Stop over kami sa Narita. Knew na yung co-engr ko pala na going to Minnesota is having the same connecting flight with my seatmate. Sabi ko, mag-sama na lang sila kasi pareho naman nilang 1st time. Iba kasi point of entry ko eh-SFO. Looked for a phone to call me veve pero I dont have YEN. Papalit sana ako but they are not converting PESO to YEN. Ayaw ko naman papalit Travelers check ko kasi $100 smallest denomination. Sayang naman. Think, think , think...how cna I contact my hubby?.. Ayaw ko kasi mag-worry sya. Ting,ting,ting. Wi-fi. So i turned on my laptop and scan for a wi-fo network. May wifi sa Narita airport. May mga internet kiosk din daw sila pero may bayad... Waah, wala talagang chance. Saw na may Yahoo Cafe sila na libre sa Terminal2 pero nasa Terminal 1 ako eh. Wala talagang pag-asa. So bottomline, I didn't get the change to inform Ariel of my status in Japan. So wait,wait,wait na lang for my boarding. Got in Japan at 2pm and my boarding time was 3:15.

The plane going to SFO is smaller compared to the plane from Manila. I was seated near the idle-middle row. Problem is walang upuan sa harap ko and I can't put my laptop in the overhead cabin. AYAW ko! So I ask the flight attendant what can I do with it. She told me that I can transfer to the seat near me if there would be no one is assigned to it. Grabe, I am still blessed. Wala nga. So I trasferred. Wala din akong katabi. i occupied seat 11A and B. Haay, hirap pala ng economy going to US. Hirap matulog, lalo na siguro kung may katabi ako. Wala kasing foot rest and di masyado nale-lean yung chair. Waah,gusto ko na umiyak. Ang sakit pa ng kamay ko. Sa bigat siguro ng luggage ko kanina. Nakatulog din ako pero pagising-gising din. Tapos, I tried different position, I positioned my laptop on top of the other seat and place all the pillow i have. Tulog ako ng nakatagilid. Pag-gising ko sakit ng katawan ko pa din. Nag-Cr din ako. Buti wala naman akong stain. When bfast was served, di nako nkatulog. Btw, meron palang individual monitor sa plane ko to SFO. I tried to watch the movies pero di ko nagustuhan. Ewan ko,lumilipad utak ko eh. I just listened to the music of Mariah. My favorite was her single" We belong Together". Tapos nung nagsawa ko makinig, I played "Bejeweled". Ayun, maya-maya, announcement na ng pilot that we are supposed to land na but another aircraft has technical problems on landing. We need to stay in the air for another 15mins. When we landed, sa exit pa lang sa may plane, may nache-check na ng passport. I was looking for a restroom pero after the immigration interview pa daw. So pila nako. Nag-crash pa PC nung isang officer kaya yung current na ini-interview nya, pinauna sakin. Hmmp. When my turn comes, I was asked about the purpose of my trip,when I told him that it is for training, he asked for the proof letter which I was able to provide. I was supposed to be back on Nov27 but my I-94 was extended up to Nov30. Blessed talaga ako. Exit nako,to claim baggage, wala pa ding CR. Sa exit,kinuha yung custom declaration form ko. Tas claim ko na baggage. Mabilis lang naman pero siempre,hirap bibit. ang bigat eh. buro pakidala kasi na preserve foods at pasalubong to my counterparts. Sa exit I saw yung susundo sakin. 1st tingin ko pa lang sa kanya, mukhang tamad, papano, dinikit name ko sa rails..Hmmp. So di ko muna pinansin,I go diretly to the Bank to exchange my TC para may pang-TIP ako with all my luggage with me. Then pinuntahan ko sya. sansali lang naman pala sya naghintay, about 30 mins lang. So Sakay nako sa Limo to San Jose. Di daw nya alam yung apartment ko- I have given him the paper with the instruction then he looked in the map. Mga 45 mins ata. I tried ko call Ariel,pero ayaw gumana ng roaming call ko. Txt ko na lang sya. Slip na sya kasi 11am SJ time na nun so 2am Phil time na. We got in Enclave at before 12nn. Ayaw pa atang bibitbitin nung driver yung gamit ko papanik nung hagdan. Sabi ko pakiakyat lang tas elevator nako. Hmmp, kung di lang uso sa US ang TIP,diko bibigyan yun eh. So elevator nako. lapit lang naman room ko-2nd floor. Pagdating ko, problem naman is yung lock,hirap palang buksan, buti na lang, i printed the instruction. So kinuha ko yung folder ko then followed it step by step. I think naka-5 tries din ako. nung nakuha ko lock sa loob, problem naman was to return the lock, may instruction din pala, mas mirap, magbalik. Hahaha. Hirap ng taga-bundok. When I got in, not so satisfied, di sya sing ganda nung 1st apartment ko. Pero ok din naman sya. Parang mayaman ako. Hahaha. I tooked pictures of the apartment.

Tapos, nagutom ako, kaya kinain ko yung baon ko na nudels and yung brownies from the plane that I forgot to eat. Tried to connect to the internet thru DSL but I was having problem. The installer is looking for the ethernet card. i tried calling customer service.They tried pero walang naging fix. Sa weekdays na lang daw. So I have no other option but to do dial-up which is slower. Problem naman is I was not able to print the US dial-up number. I needed to call our office. Front desk, connected me to ITG. Tas yung ITG was from our Phil office pa pala kaya got no problem telling them my problem. They'd given me the dial-up number. I asked them about my DSL problem. Sabi, re-start ko lang daw yung broadband box ko. After talking to them, I tried restarting it pero wala pa din eh. so tyaga ako sa mabagal na dial-up. I also called the house of my co-engr that got absorb in US as debug engr. Natuloy pala sila sa LA. Andun lang wife nya and daughter. Malayo daw ako sa kanila kaya di sya makakapunta. After some wento. Babye na. See na kang next week to VEGAS and Grand Canyon. Maya-maya, antok ako kaya slip nako. Work up at 8pm. Siguro I slept for almost 3hours. When I woke uo, I tried calling my other co-engr's house (they are couple,both working as product engr in our San Jose Main Office). But I was not successful. No one is answering the phone. Then, i felt that I am hungry and looked something to eat from my baons. I found the maling. Microwave ko lang yung kalahati then ate it with skyflakes. Tapos series of text with Ariel na. Sabi ko. Tipid muna ako sa text, mahal eh. Tried to YM na lang once maayos yung DSL ko.
Then I tried installing Chikka but it is not working. Kainis. Mas ok sana yun. Tried downloading din from globe site pero got an error. Papahanap ko na lang kay Ariel. For the mean time, magastos muna ako sa text and YM muna. Ngayon...nuod ako ng "Independence Day". Twice in a row in Bravo channel. magkasunod pinalabas.parang replay. hehehe. Pagtapos nya,slip nako..2am na dito eh. Need to cope with the time zone. night. Miss ko na veve ko, laki ng bed ko dito eh....

Strike Three

After attending a 9-10am mass in Dasma church, we went to Robinson Imus. Window shopping kami ng furnitures for our house but nothing passed our taste. We also went to Handyman to check on shower heater. Nakapili na us but next time na lang us bibili. So ayun, as planned the night before punta na kami sa Bowling-an. Hahaha. Ayun. We played. Wala lang. Para ibang gimik naman. Ariel is quite good in this sport. But the 1st game is not so good. And me, of course, the never so sporty of me still shows off. But this time, I am a lot better. Nakaka-strike nako. Hindi na ko laging kanal. Hahaha. Below are the scores for our 3 games:

1st game:
Ariel= 94
Ella=93

2nd game:
Ariel=193
Ella=82

3rd game:
Ariel=120
Ella=117

O diva. Di na ako lumamang. Kainis. I keep teasing him na di nya ako mahal kasi 'di nya ako pinalalamang. hehehe. Pero ganun talaga eh. I did my best but I guess my best wasn't good enough. Ok fine. Same old line. But to show some of it, see pictures below.







Ang pangit ng kuha nya noh?!







Ariel, like a pro.




Ok na sana noh. Nakapag-execise sana kami kahit konti pero nagutom kami kaya.... Lunch kami sa BK. 2 pcs chix and 2 pcs burger steak. Half-half kami. 1 chix and 1 steak each with some onion ring. A lot of lunch, huh?! Just after our lunch, we are already thinking of dinner. And so.. we went to the supermarket to buy some chicken wings. We will be doing our favorite crispy chicken wings. Those interested, just email me privately for the recipe. Hahaha.

By the way, right now, here I am blogging, while Ariel is working on our house dimensions. He's trying to transfer the measurements we've done last tuesday in a clean bond paper. Nainis sa powerpoint eh. Nag-drawing na lang sya. We're also done with dinner. It was a good one. We've been planning to cook this 2 weeks ago but can't find any chix wings in all the supermarket that we've been. Too bad,huh. Anyway, pagod nako kaya..babye muna...

We're Connected

Just this afternoon, we got connected to the net thru Smart Wi-fi. Yes, we acquired their service. We've been waiting for it all morning but they arrive at 2pm. The installation took about 4hours. Nahirapan silang maghanap ng malakas na signal. We need about -60dB but were getting about -100dB. The antenna should be wall-mounted only but we're not successful of getting a good signal. The last option was to mount it on the roof. Sigh... ang tagal pa din. Nainip kami sobra pero ok lang, at least naging successful din sila. Pinakain na lang namin sila ng konting mirienda and gave them some tip.

So here I am now, surfing, bloghopping and updating my blog.

By the way, I cooked again today ( I seldom cook kasi, i'm not confident eh). It is another accomplishment for me. It was a simple dish but it was good. Ariel really liked it. I just cooked the left-over cabbage from our pork nilaga last night. I just sauteed it with corned beef. Below are the ingredients:

1/2 medium size cabbage
150g of Purefoods Corned Beef
2 cups of water
2 cloves of crushed Garlic
1 medium size chopped Onion
1 Knorr Shrimp Cube
1 tspn Fish Sauce
a pinch of Salt


Direction:
Sautee the garlic,onion and corned beef.Add water and the shrimp cube. Let it simmer for 2 mins. Add the cabbage. Let it simmer for another 3 mins. then add the fish sauce and salt.

Ariel wanted me to named the dish. I can't think of any name except for Seafood Cabbage. Why?? Because of the shrimp and the fish. Ok lang ba?

I was Tagged...

I've just been tagged by Marla, thanks! Here goes...

1. What are the things you enjoy doing when there's no one around you?
If I am in the office, I am still working hard, working on our financial spreadsheet or at times i am bloghopping . If I am at home, I normally sleep, clean the house coz it's more easy to clean the house if there's no one else in there. Sometimes I also fix my abubots or just fix what i think is worth fixing. Minsan naman I just watch TV while exercising. I find it kakahiya kasi to execise if somebody is watching me so I rather do it alone.

2. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level?
Most of the time... it is crying. I cry my heart out. But Ariel really hates to see me crying. Ewan ko. Naawawa yata sakin. He often tells me na sayang luha ko but he just let me shed all those tears out coz he know I will stop after some time. It just feels so good to have somebody to share my crying moments.

3. Tag 5 friends and post it in theirs.

Ready, Get Set....

Ariel and I filed a leave yesterday. We went to Makati to pick up the " Move-in Authorization" paper from our developer.

Got in the building at 10am. After giving us the papers. Alis na agad kami. Imagine that, we traveled for 2 hours just to pick up that paper for less than 5 mins. Hehehe. So tiring but the excitement paid it off.
Kwento lang ako ng adventure namin that day. Monday was so tiring for us. Need to finish lots of work coz leave nga kami ng tuesday. We set our alarm clock at 6am so we can be in Maakati at 9am. At 5am, I woke up coz of the heavy rain. Kahit antok pako, I keep on praying na tumigil ang ulan kasi mahirap mag-commute ng umuulan. Nung nag-alarm yung cell ko. It is still raining hard, I opened the TV to check if there is any typhoon. Good thing, there is none. So although it is raining, tuloy pa rin kami.I just drink my coffee and Ariel drink his Milo ('di sya nag-co-coffee. Pinagbabawalan din nya ako pero minsan pag nilambing ko, pumapayag na din. Hehehe). 7:30 na kami nakaalis ng apartment. Got on a bus going to Baclaran, buti na lang ambon-ambon na lang. Bus din us from Baclaran to Ayala/corner Gil Puyat. Pero bfast muna us sa Tropical Hut. Not quite a good bfast. Anyway, lakad lang kami to AXA building. Super putik.Waah. Kakawa naman shoes namin. Huhuhu. Buti na lang, nakuha namin agad yung authorization paper. So, balik kami sa Baclaran. Di-diretso kami sa Molino for the house inspection. Di namin alam kung saan sakayan kasi di kami nag-co-commute going there from Baclaran. Grabe, kailangan pa palang tumawid ng overpass coz sa tapat ng McDonalds yung sakayan ng FX and Jeep. Hay,... Ambon pa din. Away pa kaming konti kasi ayoko magpayong. Pero bati ulit. Yun lang eh... Fx sinakyan namin para mas comfortable kami. Mahal ng fare. Malayo or malapit, P35.

Inaral namin ni Ariel yung daan para pag may dala kami sasakyan, madali na for us. Bumaba kami sa tapat ng ginagawang SM Molino. Yes, walking distance lang house namin to SM. Lucky for us. Appreciating ang value ng house and lot namin. Anyway, bumili muna kami ng "metro (measuring tool)" coz magsusukat kami ng dimension ng house for our future furniture purchase. Excited nako..Hahaha. Got it for P100. Mura ba yon? Stanley naman tatak eh.

So ayun nga, diretso na kami sa Field Engr's Office. Exactly 12nn kami dumating pero we are still entertained. Went to our house with the engr. Good thing, may apartment sina Ariel and he knows what to check for our house. Ang daming for repair. Nag-kulang yung checklist paper. Hahaha. The Engr told us that we may not be able to move-in on Sept.6. Kasi nga madaming i-re-repair. Hay.. we still need to wait for their call para malaman kung kelan kami babalik for the next inspection. After the signing of the inspection paper, nag-sukat na kami. Kaka-excite talaga. 2pm na kami nakalis ng subdivision kaya pala gutom na kami, di pa kami nag-lu-lunch.

We planned to eat in SM Dasma. Tanong-tanong kami ng fastest way going there. Paliparan daw muna tas meron ng Jeep going to SM. Hay,hirap talaga commute. Sana makabili ng kami ng sasakyan pero di pa namin priority yun ngayon eh. Kaya ok lang din. At least we're together thru thick and thin.

Sa SM dasma, nag-experiment kami ng mga foods sa foodcourt. Hay, not so satisfied. Napag-tripan naming bumasok ng Bench Body. Got to buy 2 andies for me and 1 for Ariel. He doesn't want to buy anything for him but i told him that i would not also buy anything if he wouldn't. So ayun, pumayag din. Hahaha.

We also went to Smart Center. We're applying for the Smart Wi-fi. Actually, we applied last Sunday and we also got approve that day. We're only supposed to pay for the installation fee and advance payment. But we need to clarify some things 1st. We plan to install it in our apartment which is in Dasma then transfer to Molino, Imus after we move-in. Kakainis, kasi iba-iba sinasabi nila. Pero after 30mins of pakikipag-talo, we confirmed that we don't need to pay the termination fee for the transfer but just another installation fee which is ok lang for us. Kaya ayun. Nagbayad na us.

We are also supposed to watch a movie but we are already too tired kaya bumili na lang kami ng DVD tas nanood lang kami sa house ng...dyandyararan. Secret. Hehehe. Rated "R" film. It is Kama Sutra- a tale of Love. Ok naman yung film, about love talaga yung story nya. Pagtapos nun. GMA telenovela na kami habang nagluluto si Ariel ng corned beef and Knorr ham and corn soup at ako naman ay naglilinis ng bahay. Baliktad ba?! Enjoy sya magluto eh. But we didn't like the "ham and corn soup". Di na mauulit ito. Hahaha.

So ayun, that's the story of our day. We're happy and excited of our house. Also, at last, may kapitbahay na kami sa block namin. Ongoing contruction na sya. 'Di na kami home alone. Sana sing-bait ko sila. Parang mabait ako noh?! Anyway, that's it. We're getting ready for our home sweet home. Next time, siguro, quest for the appropriate furnitures na kami. Maliit lang floor area namin eh kaya dapat mini din mga furnitures namin. Hay...kaka-excite talaga... Sayang di ko nakunan ng picture sa sobrang excitement. Anyway, attached ko na lang yung dati ng picture...

sabi daw

wala lang...got this from dorothy..hi pao, thanks for this.

We attended a technical training yesterday which is about designing an integrated circuit. It is a 4-day training and scheduled every thursday from 9 to 5pm. Yesterday was the 1st day of the 4 sessions. The trainor was a faculty from UP. The training was some kinda interesting. Although, medyo nakakatamad lang pag derivation na ng formula. Sigh.... We don't know if we really need to derive it coz there is already a software that will do this for us.

Anyway, nung umaga..alive and kicking pako. The same with Ariel. But after our lunch, medyo sleepy na kami kaya naisipan ko lang gawin ito.

At ito naman reply nya....

Wala lang... pampaalis ng antok.

Sooo Happy and Excited

Yesterday, we got the good news from our developer that our loan had finally been take-out from PAG-IBIG last thursday. We can now start working on the MOVE-IN papers. Dami ko na agad naisip. We need this. We need that. I want this. And I want that. Hahaha. I'm really excited. But the sad news is... I may not be here by the time that we need to move-in. Based on our computation, our earliest move-in date is 1st week of september. And my tentative flight to the US is also 1st week of September. Sigh.

Anyway... i'm just looking forward of coming back and going home to our new house. Ariel and I agreed that we'll be the one to design the interiors of the house. It should represent us and no other than us. Wala syang gagawin sa house na wala akong permission..hahaha. Dapat may buy-off ako sa lahat. Siempre. Haus namin pareho yun noh. Hirap nga lang kasi long distance agreement but we still thank the modern technology. Medyo madali na buhay-buhay.

By the way, we just got back to the office. We had a half day leave to work on the papers we need. Excited na kami!..
