i love reading..

I'm more of a reader's digest type than a novel type. I like variety in stories, facts, information, life changing and inspirational.

I can't let the day pass without checking out fun stuff to read and today i came across with these site and it's really fun reading them so for the sake of sharing here they are..

http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

-people share their frustrations, dreams anything through post cards..i find it cute and funny..really creative.

http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/10-tips-for-get-a-good-nights-sleep-without-pills.html#more-5206

-one of my interests is reading everyday tips whether how to organize, housekeeping, health etc. As of now i'm haven't read a single article but i know this is a good...otherwise it wouldn't be included in the top 20 life changing website of reader's digest, right?

-i was so moved by this one..truly inspiratiomal..sounds to great but it was damn so inspiring. There's really nothing impossible in life as long you have the will and determination to achieve it.

These are just some of them..happy reading!

Officially employed..~weee~

I'm still in shock after i heard the news..i've been waiting for this since last December..finally i'm now a regular employee of BED (where i'm currently working) of course this means salary increase which isn't that much but still it increased..hahaha. I even got promoted from C- to C+ (i skipped the C level)..my japanese boss praised me for my little knowledge of nihonggo. Anyways, now i'll be able to avail the housing allowance so that i can move near our office..no more traffic and smoke..weee. This is not just the good news actually, my paycheck is bigger because the gave a refund for the tax..o my..i really want to take a break and let all this sink in me..but then it's still 2 hours more before lunch and i have to meet a deadline. wooshh

Self Introduction

I find my other blog so boring so i decided to create another one. HOpefully i'll be able to keep this one. It's not just my blog which is boring but my life in general, haven't done anything outrageous or nothing i can say as experience of a lifetime.
Anyways enough of this boringness ..

Well' I supposed there's no better way to start than to introduce my self..

My name is Jenny (my internet name..whatever that means) I'm 21 years old, living somewhere in southeast asia.

I'm dying to travel the world and I get so excited just thinking about it (haven't been to any other country though ~sigh~)

I practice yoga and aspire to be a certified yoga instructor someday

I have a degree in Computer Science and Information Technology and currently working as a Software Developer (up until now I haven't figured out where I really want to specialize..definitely not programming..sucks)

I like reading blogs specially people's experiences in Japan

I'm part of a self proclaimed Japan-o-philiac Trio, namely meganekodomo, thekaisu and yours truly jenny.if you wanna know about us check this out

I like to crack jokes but most of the time they ended up giving me the what-the-heck expression and i'm the only one laughing ..it's all in the punch line you know

I graduated as salutatorian in elementary and decided to stop being so grade conscious after that but still manage to get Honorable Mention award when i graduated in college

Yes, i have a significant other whom we'll just call 'J'

I can describe my life as telenovela in real life

The only gadget I have is an old crappy phone (not even a colored one)

Big time fashion victim..i always get headache every time i go shopping alone

I love making list. I make list for everything, To Do Today, To do for the Week, To do for the Year, Things to do before i die, To Buy, Financial List Budget/Expenses

I love to organize things but have a hard time maintaning it.

After I graduated, I worked in a call center. I'll never forget my training days, the best group of people I've ever met.

I used to have my hair short when I was younger and frequently mistaken as a boy

I always get unsolicited greetings from strangers

Digital camera, Laptop, w850i, ipod are on top of my To Buy list

I think this is enough for my first post..

Mata ne!
