2 weeks and a long list of blessings

major updating to do.... where do i begin???

its been 2 weeks since i moved here, and i can honestly say that its been great so far. up to know im still amazed at how things keep on falling into place for me. its like someone up in heaven suddenly remembered me and is making up with all the countless blessings.

so many good things have really happened to me here...

- getting the job and having the opportunity to work here is still the biggest blessing... in a way i can look at it as the catalyst for everything great that has happened to me thus far. work has been good. id like to think im adjusting fairly well. buti talaga pinoy boss ko and he's been generally nice to me. im keen on making sure that everyday i will give him good reason to think he made the best decision of picking me. :p

- the distance from my family has actually forced us to become closer. its beautifully ironic. im so proud at how mommy is eagerly and patiently willing to learn how to use the computer (and now has a valid email address on yahoo) just to keep in touch with me and ria (eventually). i gett o talk to her more often now than when i was working in manila. please dont tell my boss, but we often chat during office hours. :p

- i found an apartment to move into within a week of moving here. ive posted previously about this and im so lucky to have gotten this at the price im paying. otherwise, id have to live in a less relaxing environment.

- i got to spend my first week here with carla. at least di ako nalulungkot sa hotel. and she really helped me with looking at possible apartments. i dont think she knows but when i dropped her off at the airport last last sunday, i called her dad and i cried coz i told him adjusting to my new life here would not have been easy like it was had carla not been able to join me.

- i super super super thank icar for introducing me to hanz. and i super super super thank hanz for everything he has done for me so far. he's introduced me to practically every pinoy i know. he's taught me so so so much... and he's over-all a great friend to have.

- speaking of the pinoys here... im so blessed to have met those that i know here. feeling ko i will be less homesick with them around. and if/when i do, they'e just a text away. nakakatuwa at how willing everyone is to help... :)

- i have to make special mention of rommel. he is the most recent addition to my list of people to be thankful for. im sad he is leaving vietnam, but everytime i see any of all the things he has generously given me, i will definitely remember him. :D s promised, i will take good care of you things and as well to pay-it-forward when its my turn to leave.

more specific anecdotes some other day. ive been going out quite a lot here and a lot of memorable experiences already. BUT ill save that for another post.

hugs to everyone back home. im happy with where i am, but at the same time i miss home too...
