Really? BAM! ...And then came the baby. lol. I was never a kid-kid. If you know what I mean. I didn't enjoy playing with other kids. I liked my tea set, dolls and yaya. lol. I didn't like getting dirty. I grew out of it though I'm still a germophobe. innocent.gif

Kids like me too! It was so funny because my friends' siblings would end up crushing on me and they were usually 10 or younger. Gee, what an attraction! lol.

I have to study again but I don't mind it since I can work and study at the same time. It's a passion of mine and I'm keen on pursuing it. I want to be a kindergarten teacher so I have to look for private schools that are hiring. Hey, corporate is the way to go! If you want promotions and growth then I believe it's most efficient in that field. Advertising is a lucrative field as well but it's always good to invest in your forte. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I'm sure you'll land one! good.gif

Salamat! Libre kita dito, libre mo ako sa NY. rofl.gif

Thanks Aurora! tongue.gif

Well, i HATED kids but they love me. They love me too much that God decided to give me one. hahaha.

I want to teach too! But that means I'd have to study again. My friend took some classes before leaving PI so she can teach in the States. It took her 6 months to get a job, considering in demand ang teachers sa States. Kaya goodluck sa akin! I'm planning to continue what I've been doing here. I want to continue climbing up the corporate ladder but do a lateral transfer. I want to do more of strategic planning than sales. Ayun, hopefully, makakuha agad ng trabaho.

I read in your post na you got approved na!!! congrats!!!! libre! libre!

Could you hear Coyotes there too? I bet you hear Coyotes everywhere you go. Peek-a-boo...I see you. I wonder why the OP never posts on this thread anymore. or Maybe she still does.

Any Cebuanas here living in Pennsylvania? I just arrived here two months ago thru K1 visa and will have my biometrics on d 22nd of April. I haven't meet any Filipinos near in my place in Shavertown. It would be nice and a big help in my adjustment if I will meet some filipinos here.... By the way, I grew up in Dalaguete, Cebu!!!!!
