I Gotta Feeling

I think waiting is a good thing because:

1. Lalabas na tamang-tama ang pagkaluto ng chicken BBQ -- dinner namin kagabi yan
2. Di na dumating ang bus kaya pumunta na lang ako sa Britomart where not only did I get my train ticket, nakapag top-up (load) rin ako sa Hop card ko na paubos na ang load
3. May mga tumatawag na lang bigla na opportunities for work just when the week was about to end
4. Hindi humaba ang leeg ko kakatingin sa mga street signs at landmarks since I took the train. Mahirap abutan ng dilim kapag mag bus dahil halos wala ka makikita sa labas. Puro bahay lang kasi, mga suburbs and they all look the same at night.

I won't get ahead of myself since i'm still at the beginning stages of my job applications. So like what I always tell my friends here, go lang ng go! As I see postings from places outside of Auckland, I realize that wherever my job would take me, it'll always be to a place where I'm sure to have a great time with my family.

While searching for work, I came across New Plymouth which was described as the best place to live in for families and the most self-sustaining city in the world. Wow!

I also came across Hepburn Park at Glendene which is probably roughly 30 minutes away from here by foot. On its edge is the Whau River. It's probably worth visiting since it's just across the Great North Road bus stop where I get my ride to the city. I'm already thinking of checking it out this weekend.

So the train was 4 minutes late yesterday morning which made me brisk walk to no. 5 High Street. Good thing I was on foot since the building number was made noticeable on the floor, right where a doormat is usually placed. There I met this lovely girl Kate, who was confident to have found a perfect match - me, for a client of hers. We'll see how it goes.

I'm expecting some updates by next week and I've got this strong feeling that my wait is coming to a close.
