TGIF

Thank God it's Friday. Two days off from work. It's not that I don't like my job here in Malaysia. In fact, I like it here (I hope it'll be like that until I finish my contract.. hehe..). The work is not stressful compared to Singapore. Just a little bit more stress from the Phils but the pay compensates for that. In fact, I feel that it's almost the same environment. I just feel a little more stressed because I get guilty that I have to do better here since I get paid more.Ü

It's Friday. But we have no plans to go out. Hahaha! (Where's the gimikerang Jona?) I'd rather stay at home and cook Filipino food than go out and spend at those Chinese restaurants. It's a bit expensive to eat out here. You will only eat Sweet & Sour Pork and Yang Chow Fried rice and it will cost you around RM30-40 (Php400-500). That money can already buy me pork, beef, chicken and prawn which we can eat out for 4 dinners! (Kuripot yata talaga ako! Hehe..) Also I dont like their beers here.. I haven't tasted one and don't plan to taste any. Nothing will still compare to the cold bottle of SanMig light.. hehe.. Hay.. Namiss ko tuloy pag nagkakayayaan kami ng '1 bottle'. Lalabas kami ng office ng 5pm, di pa nagla-logout, iniwan ang mga gamit at iinom ng beer sa Conrads.. Hehe.. Tapos babalik sa office (minsan amoy alak pa! haha!), kukunin ang gamit sabay layas. Hay.. I miss those days.

It's Friday. But I still don't look forward to the weekend. Though my husband is here with me, it's still different having my daughter around. Yung manonood kayo ng cartoons. Maglalaro ng kung ano-ano. Magkukulitan. Lalo na ngayon at may work ang husband ko sa weekend. Mag-isa lang ako sa house. Ayaw ko naman sumabit sa lakad ng friend ko. Matutulog na lang siguro ako maghapon. Hehehe..

It's Friday. Pwedeng magstay late sa panonood ng tv dahil walang pasok kinabukasan. Pwedeng kumain ng kumain kahit gabi na dahil hindi ka naman nagmamadaling matulog. Pwedeng magkuwentuhan muna to the max. Pwedeng di matulog ng maaga nang hindi ka nagwoworry na kulang na naman ang 8-hour sleep routine mo.

It's Friday. Our 11th Friday here. Naisip ko, what's so special on a Friday. Wala naman. Naisip ko kasi na gusto ko kumain sa Fridays (may Fridays dito!). Hahaha!!! Get lost!

Pahabol: Next Friday, hopefully ay matuloy na ang pag-uwi ko sa Pinas para kunin ang baby ko. Hay.. Can't wait for next Friday… Ü

Anaps Adventure

This will start the long battle between myself and the Anaps here around KL. (Sa mga hindi nakakaalam, Anaps is the term used to describe all our friendly friends na hindi masyadong mababango. Yun mga nagpapautang ng 5-6 sa ating mga kababayan at naniningil sakay ng motorsiklo. Kung di niyo pa rin alam, wag niyo ng alamin!)

From the start, even before I left the Phils, I've already psyche myself that I cannot get away from them kasi Anaps ang agent ko. And when I came here, I had another few reasons kung bakit di ako makakawala sa kanila. Sa kawalan ng kakilala dito, napilitan kaming magstay sa staff house kung saan puro Anaps ang housemate at ang condo ay nasa isang Anaps na lugar, sa Brickfields, KL Sentral. Sa office, napakarami nila. My Pinay colleague told me that someone had told her that there are so many Anaps here that they don't want to hire more. Bwahaha! Ang pinakamalupit, kahit saan ka lumingon, may Anaps. Sa mall, sa lrt, sa kalsada. They are everywhere here!

Pero hindi niyo ako dapat kaawaan. Nakakasurvive naman ako. Nasanay na nga ako sa kanila kahit papaano. Awa ng Diyos, hindi pa naman sira ang pang-amoy ko. (Btw, sa kabutihang-palad, nakalipat na kami sa ibang condo, after almost 2 months ng pagtitiis, malayo sa lugar nila, kung saan Pinoy na ang mga kasama namin.. Hay salamat..)

Marami akong kuwentong Anaps magmula ng pagdating ko dito. Kaya lang nalimutan ko na ang iba. (Ikaw na ang mageneral anaesthesia nang manganak. Hahaha!) Saka karamihan sa mga yun ay small stories lang, walang masyadong impact na ikuwento. Gaya ng magkakaroon ka ng katabi na amoy-putok.. as in di lang basta putok.. putok na putok! Putek! Wag na nga yang mga ganyang kababuyan. Naaalibadbaran ako. Bwahaha!

Irerecall ko muna mga Anaps stories ko. I'll try to post one everytime may naaalala ako. Hehe..
