Ako naka isang interview lang after 2 months, but seems pretty bleak. All else are either rejections or being ignored. Reeeally worried :-s
Si hubby naka isang face-to-face and some phone calls from recruiters, but that is all for now.
I have a housekeeping job for now but very laborious job, still have not found the right strategy to finish a room in time. Very tired na ako pagdating sa bahay, layo pa lakad from station to bahay... i'm not complaining :-p haha *loka-loka*
