Catchin' Up, Eh!

I feel so terrible having not updated the blog regularly as I planned (or as I solemnly swore to the person who made this wonderful blog layout!). Anyway, as I need to backtrack our Vancouver vacation and first few weeks in Calgary, I will do my best to do two entries at a time - the current one and the backtracked one.

For now, allow me to share what's up with me here in Calgary. So far, I've been enjoying my stay here. I've already started working with CitiFinancial Canada. As expected, the first few days is all about information overload but I'm glad that I'm being exposed to a totally different industry. I especially find doing credit assessments interesting. I'm amazed at how the credit bureau works! This job will definitely keep me busy until I get back to school on fall 2008 to get another bachelors degree for apparently, my college degree back in Manila is not recognized here. Ugh!

Anyway, I consider it as a blessing in disguise. Who knows? The university might be a perfect opportunity for me to meet friends. Don't get me wrong. The people at CitiFinancial are nice but a lot of them don't belong to my age group. Also, university studies might be a way to a better job than the good one that I already have. With all these things, I feel blessed more than ever!

The temperature is starting to drop and I'm glad that it's happening slowly. This will allow me to adjust before it goes to the double digit negatives. Brrr! The temperature is doing me well, though, as it had regulated my acne problem. Though I know that it gets a bit dry during fall and winter, I never thought that my perennially shiny cheeks and forehead will ever go away. Now, I'm using tons of moisturizer and loving it! Thanks to all the L'Oreal (especially Kiehl's) products that were given to me before I left.

Since we replaced rice with vegetables, I have been losing weight as well. I'd be bragging my "thin" photos as soon as I get desired results. I guess it also helps that I do a lot of walking besides the usual gym workout.

I do miss Manila and all the friends and relatives I left behind but now, I'm still in this inexplainable state of ecstasy. Perhaps, it is the prospect of starting anew or living a carefree life where no one cares what you want to do. I really don't know but is sure is a great feeling!
