one day in a life

Life here ain't so bad even if I don't have a lot of money to spare.

I'm learning a lot from my work, and even enjoying it. And oh, I just got my calling cards today which is so überly cool. Sir Lito even insisted on putting my PRC license number in it. Haha. I was like, Gosh this is now serious, people are gonna see this and know I am a professional. The thought both thrills and terrifies the hell out me. I mean, me, a real working stiff now, not just a mangy college student out to prove to the whole goddamn world what a bitch I can be. This is the real world now, and I'm just one more worker bee trying to get though the day without any untoward incident.

My housemates are fab girls. Yeah, even the Chinese girls. They're really nice and really make an effort to communicate with us Pinay girls despite the language barrier. One of them, Cindy, offered me some of her food the other day--the chicken was delicious.

In fact, our house has become an unofficial ESL center: every encounter is a lesson. We'll even miss them when they transfer to another room, maybe this Friday.
